Los Angeles Conservancy Walking Tour of Union Station
Train Tickets
During this one-and-a-half to two-hour, docent-led tour, you’ll hear the backstory of one of L.A.’s most iconic gems and learn how it has been evolving over time.
The walk covers much of the station, from the famous Waiting Room—seen in countless movies—to the Art Deco-styled Traxx bar and restaurant, which has been serving cocktails and dinner at Union for more than two decades.
Built during the golden age of rail travel using Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco designs, beautiful Union Station continues to serve tens of thousands of travelers daily, including our own Metrolink riders!
Other Los Angeles Conservancy Walking Tours:
Even though the Union Station tour couldn’t be more convenient because of its location, you might find some of the Conservancy’s other walks equally fascinating, including the Art Deco, Modern Skyline and Historic Downtown tours.
Tours take place on Saturday or Sunday, and most start and end at Pershing Square, which you can reach from inside Union Station by taking the Metro B Line (Red) one stop to the Pershing Square station or by walking a little more than a mile.
All Conservancy tours require an advance reservation. The cost is $15 for non-members and $10 for members.
