Aside from DisneyLand and Universal Studios, where else can I take my 2 girls (10 yrs and 8 yrs old)?

Question

we are going to Los Angeles this May and I would like to know some good place to take my daughters.

Thank you

Answer 1

If you want rides go to Magic Mountain in Valencia. Knotts Berry Farm is another good place to go.

Answer 2

Knott's Berry Farm is fun if you are looking for an amusement park.

For just plain fun, go to Huntington Beach Pier and walk around. Balboa Island is fun too (just a little further south on PCH from Huntington).

Hollywood Blvd during the day is fun and is right by Rodeo Drive. The Santa Monica Pier and fun area is good too.

The Queen Mary in Long Beach has a tour you could take.

There is a shopping about every 10 miles in any direction, so the girls may like that.

If they like museums, there are a ton of them. The La Brea Tar Pits are really cool.

I grew up in LA, but moved a few years ago and these are some of the places I enjoyed when I was young girl.

Answer 3

San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Legoland.

In LA area: Los Angeles Zoo, California Science Center

Answer 4

Getty Museum; Huntington Gardens/Library/Gallery; Hollywood Walk of Fame; Knotts Berry Farm (Disneyland is better); Ethnic restaurants not found everywhere like Ethiopian, Peruvian, Korean; the beaches; tv show filmings; California Science Center; Discovery Science Center; Hollywood Wax Museum; Aquarium of the Pacific; Queen Mary

Near San Diego: Legoland, Sea World, San Diego Zoo

Answer 5

San Diego Zoo, Sea World, La Brea Tar Pitts, Huntington Library, Knott's Berry Farm, Redondo Beach, Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Cataline Island, Griffith Park and Observatory, Gramins (sp?) Chinese Theater, Santa Anita Race Track, to name a few :)

Go to Hollywood....Sunset and Vine. In Hollywood, you can go to many museums that are pretty fun. Graumins’s Chinese, Mann’s, Walk Of Stars, Go to Universal Studios, and Universal City Walk. You can spend a whole day at Universal Studios and the evening at Universal City Walk for dinner and shopping. Go to the beach. There are many around....Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Santa Monica Beach, Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Venice Beach.

In Long Beach you can visit the Pike as well as Shoreline Village. http://www.catalina.com/main.html http://www.catalina.com/main.html

Discovery center in Orange, Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California science center…there are several museums around there. La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Museum on Wilshire (Admission is free on the first Tuesday of each month). http://www.tarpits.org/info/hours.html Catalina Island/Avalon are pretty fun for a whole day of snorkling, kayaking, etc. http://www.catalina.com/main.html

Los Angeles Zoo, Disneyland, Hollywood, the Hollywood sign, Magic Mountain, Knotts Berry Farm. Universal Studios.

For night shows and dinner there is Medieval Times and Pirates although they are a bit costly. http://www.medievaltimes.com/

Answer 7

You could take them to the discovery center in Orange or the aquarium of the pacific in Long Beach...they will be able to touch the fish..My kids have a blast at the Los Angeles Zoo..they also have pony rides and a train ride in Griffin Park..

Answer 8

i think with kids that age, they're going to want something to do rather than stuff to look at

California Science Center
The Aquarium of the Pacific
Maybe a day at the beach, weather permitting. Venice is fun because there's always someone putting on a show.

for something more low key, consider Travel Town and the Carousel at Griffith Park

Answer 9

Sea World, Santa Barbara, Avalon, Lego Land.

Answer 10

well the aquarium of the pacific is nice and also
inside Exposition park (near USC you have the History
museum as well as the California science center
and other museums nearby
then don't forget either the LA or San Diego zoo
or the Wild animal park near San Diego
