Transportation

A common choice for transportation is to employ a shared-ride van between LAX and the airport.  You can make reservations for one of the two operators:  Prime Time Shuttle and Super Shuttle.  Both offer similar quality service for roughly $130 to $180 each way.  Taxi service is roughly $90 each way. Uber and Lyft are are now permitted to pick up and drop off at LAX and will also cost around $90, depending on demand.

A less expensive option is to take the FlyAway shuttle service between LAX and Union Station.  From Union Station, one can then take the Metro A Line to the Lake Ave. station, which is a short walk from the Observatories. Total one-way cost is $13. Detailed instructions can be found here.
