Six family-friendly picks around LA. Details links go straight to the organizers.
Bilingual songs, puppetry, and dance-along theater fill the Getty’s Central Garden for a free afternoon made for little listeners.
A wonderfully silly singalong variety show, with larger-than-life puppets and art-making in the plaza before the curtain rises.
Stroll a breezy cliffside row of local artists, then make a family afternoon of the playground, ocean views, and a picnic.
Walk among hundreds of free-flying butterflies and look for chrysalises before the pavilion warms up for the afternoon.
Dig, water, build, and get gloriously dusty in a low-pressure morning of open-ended garden play for curious kids.
Pack an easy picnic, claim a patch of grass, and let the kids move to an all-ages outdoor set as the day cools down.
