Top 3 Favorite Spots in LA that both Parents and Kids Love.

It can be hard to find places you that enjoy as much as your kids, but we’ve found a few that are on our regular rotation for our seasonal outings plus the perfect spots to take out of town guests visiting with kids.

#1 - Annenberg Community Beach House, Santa Monica

The Annenberg Community Beach House is on Santa Monica State Beach at 415 PCH and is a public beach facility, open to all. They have on site metered parking, a splash pad, playground, easy access to the beach, a laid back cafe where your kids can play in the sand while eating plus a private pool area that sells day passes. Go early when your kids wake up to beat the crowds in summer. https://www.annenbergbeachhouse.com/ 

#2 - Descanso Gardens, La Canada

Descanso Gardens is open almost every day of the year except Christmas and is absolutely beautiful with seasonal blooms, walking paths and select children's programming through out the year. There is a cafe and restaurant on site for food when the kids get hungry. We choose the days to visit based on whether the Enchanted Railroad is running as that is a fan favorite with the kiddos. They also host special seasonal events through out the year including our favorite Enchanted Forest during the holidays which is a can't miss event! You can find local daily programming at the Gardens here: https://www.descansogardens.org/programs-events/calendar/. There are also benefits to joining as a member and saving on special events there as well.

#3 - Underwood Family Farms, Moorpark

The BEST farm hands down with tons to do including picking seasonal fruits + veggies, petting and feeding the animals, rides, tractor tours, educational shows and special seasonal festivals year around. This is a great spot to host a birthday party or special event as well. Our favorite seasons to visit are spring for Strawberry picking and fall for pumpkin picking.
