With mild, sunny weather and a rich history in entertainment, Los Angeles is a prime destination for many families. If you are planning a trip to the City of Angels with your spouse and children, chances are you know about the standard activities like the Walk of Fame and shopping at the Beverly Center. However, a number of other interesting ventures are available to do as well. - The Getty Museum is a great place for children to experience art and have fun at the same time.painting image by Dmitri MIkitenko from Fotolia.com
Though "museum" might seem like a scary word to children, this is a place that will satisfy both parents and their kids. Showcasing world-renowned exhibitions in a stunning architectural space, the museum has beautiful gardens and a fantastic view. In the Family Room, children can build tube sculptures, play with a wall of mirrors or hunt for art treasure through peepholes. An on-site cafe serves a wide variety of food, so the trip here can be an all-day affair if you prefer. - Universal Studios has roller coasters and 3D shows for all members of your group to enjoy.blue roller coaster image by sonya etchison from Fotolia.com
Universal Studios is considered by many to be the ultimate Hollywood experience. Though the park has a changing slate of attractions, there are always a number of roller coasters, raft rides and shows that every age group will enjoy. You can also take your family on a studio tour to see how movies are made. The restaurant choices include familiar chains like Pizza Hut to more local fare, such as Mel's Diner. - Seeing a movie in a cemetery may seem creepy, but the night is all about fun and fellowship.tombstone image by Tomasz Pawlowski from Fotolia.com
If your children are a little older, taking them to a movie at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a unique experience that is truly "L.A." Every week during the summer and early fall, thousands of people crowd the lawn to see classic films projected onto a giant mausoleum. Before the flick starts, a DJ spins music while the audience enjoys food and wine--that they provide themselves.
