| Family-Friendly Activities in Los Angeles |
Los Angeles never runs out of beautiful
destinations and exciting adventures that suit the likes of various families.
With the crisis that the pandemic brought over the past year, providing
children with a safe and healthy environment has been the focus of most families.
It is also undeniable that the kids missed the normal way of life where they
get to freely interact with their friends, roam around in the city, or have
escapades in the heart of nature. With various sites back to business in L.A.,
coming up with family-friendly activities that bursts with adventure will no
longer be a problem.
This list of
activities highlights unique yet educational activities that are perfect for
kids of today’s generation. A time away from the gadgets and a much-needed
immersive experience are all they need to recognize the natural beauty that the
Earth freely offers.
Go glamping
When planning a
getaway with the family, packing the things alone may be fun but it’s
undeniable that it is quite exhausting especially when the kids are too busy
daydreaming or asking questions about the trip. Going camping means rearranging
all the things again while building the actual tent—another task that can get
stressful. Nowadays, families would rather just relax and destress without
having to worry about all those ruckuses. This is when glamping comes into the picture; experiencing
the great outdoors and connecting with nature on a beautiful tent that has
already been set up with luxuries and accommodations similar to a hotel room.
Unlike going on a camping trip, glamping means not having to stress about
finding the perfect location or packing all the basic necessities.
A popular glamping
site in Los Angeles is La Boheme Living. It features an urban safari
tent experience in a private residence that is just a few miles away from
Dodger Stadium. It is already equipped with everything from air-conditioning,
comfy bed, wifi, hairdryers, shower with a heater to barbecue facilities and
chimineas that can be used at all times. They also have opportunities for
biking, hiking, playing tennis that will surely be well-loved and enjoyed by the
kids. What makes this place even better is that they can book a personal
masseuse once requested—something that most parents would appreciate at the end
of a tiring day. Furthermore, the site also stated that they have free-roaming
friendly cats, chickens, raccoons, and opossums that love to hang out on the
porch. This unique bohemian glamping site is an experience that families will
surely look forward to or even look back on when they want to unwind.
Meet the rescue
animals at Kfar Saba Urban Farm
Locally rescued
animals such as dogs, goats, chickens, tortoises, donkeys, sheep, alpacas,
horses, and birds are being taken care of at Kfar Saba Urban Farm in the Winnetka
neighborhood of Los Angeles. They provide a private COVID-19 safe tour where
families can learn more about each of the animals. The kids would have the
opportunity to interact with various animals as they gain knowledge on how to
properly take care of or handle them with love and care. Of course, kids are
also known to be curious about animals, hence, this is an educational
experience that they would surely love and appreciate.
Explore Los
Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden
While Los Angeles
County Arboretum and Botanic Garden are located in Arcadia, it’s
only less than an hour away from Los Angeles. An earthy
destination that is worth traveling to as it features a beautiful 127-acre
botanical garden and historical site. The Arboretum Foundation Board and senior
staff team established this arboretum with a mission to cultivate natural,
horticultural, and historic resources for learning, enjoyment, and inspiration;
they also have the vision to serve as a resource for environmental stewardship
and education in the sciences and history. The arboretum includes plant
collections from all over the world, historical architectural landmarks,
wildlife sanctuary, crescent farm, and the Baldwin lake. They also hold
activities such as yoga in the garden, sound baths, forest bathing, and other
educational exhibitions that would certainly be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Check out SOAR:
South Coast Botanic Garden
South Coast Botanic Garden added a new
experience that lets people observe the life cycle of butterflies. They have an
immersive pavilion that features monarchs and mimics where SOAR guides teach
them more about the butterflies. They also make sure that the butterflies are
well taken care of by providing them with everything that Western Monarchs love
such as the milkweed, which allows them to repopulate the butterflies. In
addition, they have a SOAR garden area that contains eggs and caterpillars
where people can freely recognize and understand the initial stages of a
butterfly. . Steven Taylor
