I like your idea of going to DL for 4 days! Our family has often gone for 3 days and we usually feel rushed. We're planning on doing 4 or 5 days for our trip in June and I am looking forward to touring a little slower and taking it easy this time.
Your hotel to La Brea Tar Pits will take 20-30 min drive, depending on traffic. Hotel to California Science Center is ~45 min in rush hour, but probably 30 min when not in rush hour.
There's a really good DIS Unplugged podcast from about a year ago where Nancy Johnson talks about the California Science Center. I don't think they've done a review of the La Brea Tar Pits though.
Since you'll be coming from Hollywood, you could definitely do both museums in 1 day, but you'd want to get to the tar pits right when they open so you'll have enough time to hit up both museums. Also, once you get to the 4:00 pm hour, you'll run into rush hour traffic, which is a royal pain in the neck in LA. So either plan on leaving the CA Science Center no later than 3:30 pm, or stay at the museum until 5:00 pm (I think that's when they close) and eat dinner somewhere in downtown LA before driving the hour down to Anaheim.
