Los Angeles, California for Toddlers & Pre-K

3 day trip

Day 1

    Aquarium of the Pacific

    Long Beach, CA

    It's hard to say what's more popular here, the sea lion show or the outdoor tank where the sharks come right up to your nose. What parents love about the...

    • Burgers
    The Counter

    Santa Monica, CA

    The menu is pretty simple here: beef, turkey, and vegetarian burgers with fries, shakes and a few salads and kid favorites (like pb&j and grilled cheese). To order, you...

    • Beach
    • Wildlife Sanctuary
    • Surfing
    • Fishing
    Malibu Lagoon

    Los Angeles, CA

    Malibu stretches for 27 miles up the coast, but you don't have to go far to find tide pools filled with anemones, crabs, sea cucumbers, and starfish. Park in the...

    • Hotel / Motel
    Doubletree Guest Suites Santa Monica

    Santa Monica, CA

    Location, location, location: this hotel is walking distance from the Santa Monica Pier, great beaches, Main Street shopping and the lively Third Street Promenade. After schlepping around all day, you'll...

Day 2

    • Playground
    Aidan's Place

    Los Angeles, CA

    This mega playground was designed to be accessible to wheelchair-bound children, so it's wide-open and very inventive. There are four different play areas -- one with sand -- that accommodate...

    • Art Museum
    • Playground
    Skirball Cultural Center

    Los Angeles, CA

    • Special Collection
    • Train
    Travel Town Transportation Museum

    Los Angeles, CA

    This is paradise for kids who have a thing for Thomas the Tank Engine or who simply appreciate trains. They get the run of what is essentially a train yard...

Day 3

    • Garden
    • Art Museum
    Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens

    San Marino, CA

    While this former estate of a railway magnate has a world-class manuscript and art collection, your kids will probably prefer to stay outdoors in the botanical gardens -- a vast...

    • Science & Nature Museum
    Kidspace Children's Museum

    Pasadena, CA

    The fun starts when you walk in the door of this interactive, indoor-outdoor museum. You'll pass through mirrored tunnels and walls made of giant pencils, and visit a "diner...
