Entertainment & Activities

This is the most beautiful bowling alley you’ll ever see. It looks like a film set. It’s a 1920s building that’s been refurbished. The eight lanes have leather couches at the end instead of the usual plastic seats. And, believe it or not, they actually serve terrific bar food at a good price: great pizza, great burgers, great beer.

Arts & Culture

LACMA is the top contemporary art museum in California, and it's full of art that kids recognize and can relate to, like the iconic Warhols. With kids, art is really about exposure. Some things they might love, some they might hate, but if they see something when they’re young they’ll remember it and might love it later in life.

Many of LA’s flea markets only happen once a month, so they can get crazy. This place is open every day—you don’t have to show up at the crack of dawn. It’s indoors, so perfect for a rainy day.

Sightseeing

Because of its hilltop site, you see the observatory from everywhere, so it’s a real icon. We love hiking up there even when it's not a typically sunny LA day. The Observatory has one of the best planetariums in the world, and I don’t think people realize that!
