It seems you are in luck; the Griffith Observatory Accessibility is very good! Here’s a link to their Official Site: http://www.griffithobservatory.org/

I gave them a call to go over anything I couldn’t find on their website and the customer service was very pleasant and helpful. Here’s what I found.
