Raising kids isn't cheap.
And raising them in a bustling metropolitan center of the arts, culture and food scene? Even less so. These 50 free things to do in LA (and the surrounding areas!) include outdoor adventures, family concerts, story times, live tapings of your favorite shows and spots.
1.Downtown LA, Orange County or Pasadena
Explore a new-to-you area like Downtown LA, Orange County or Pasadena. Window shopping, skipping around, sitting on a bench and people-watching—those are underrated pleasures, especially when it's in an area you haven't yet explored.
2. Children's Book World
There are so many reasons to love Children's Book World, including their free weekend series for kids that feature story times, mini-concerts and more. Many of our other favorite book stores around Los Angeles host no-cost story times, too!
3. California Science Center
Teach kids science for free at the California Science Center (special exhibits and IMAX cost extra) or Griffith Observatory (tickets to the Planetarium cost extra!), or see history preserved at the La Brea Tar Pits (to see the pits themselves are free, but tickets are required to enter the museum!). Natural history, archeology, biology...take your pick. These museums have it all.
4. Santa Monica Pier
Play on the Santa Monica Pier. Sunbathe, splash around on the (coldish) waters' edge, people watch and, if you're in the mood, shell out a few bucks to play arcade games!
5. Hollywood Boulevard
Find your favorite celebrities on Hollywood Boulevard. We know it's cheesy, but it can be a fun way to teach your kids pop culture. It's like a scavenger hunt for your favorite stars!
6. Exposition Park
Smell the roses in Exposition Park. With the neoclassical architecture of the California Science Center in the background and the hundreds upon hundreds of roses in the foreground, you'll feel like you're strolling through a garden in Paris.
7. The Downtown LA Art Walk
Take in free art on the Downtown LA Art Walk. On the second Thursday of every month, join other art lovers in DTLA as you pop in and out of art galleries, eat from food carts and participate in special art-related activities.
8. LA Central Library
Read a book at LA Central Library. This library is one of the architectural treasures of DTLA, with its art deco and 1930s architecture. They also have a wonderful children's book section!
9. Vista Hermosa Natural Park
Take an amazing family photo at Vista Hermosa Natural Park. Grassy fields, ponds, waterfalls, city views and picnic areas make this the perfect spot for any time of year.
10. Melrose Trading Post
Attend the new Melrose Mornings events for families at the Melrose Trading Post. Look for kid-friendly entertainment, crafts and face painting on Sundays from 9 to 11am. It's free for kids, but it will cost parents $5.
