I LOVE MINIONS. Like the beings themselves, I'm just okay with the Despicable Me franchise. This is…read morea small "land" but the theming is super cute and the merchandise that they have in the shop is pretty unique and great if you do like the franchise. There's a cafe, a small water park like attraction, the Minions Mayhem ride off to the side, a kiddie ride, some carnival games and the merchandise shop. You can meet a Minion near the Minions Mayhem ride entrance or you can do the photo op with the statues. I always make sure to take a picture with the little rubber ducky one. So cute. Short and quick visit if you don't have kiddos with you and just want to take a gander.

We LOVED Super Silly Fun Land…read more Great rides. Fun water play on a hot day (we usually end our day there so we don't have cold rides after). Watch out for kids that just sit on the water shooters!!! You have to wear shoes - so bring some water shoes!!! I can't believe I convinced Flavor Flav to go with us - he said it was not whack (but I sat on a water shooters and kept getting him).

Specifically, they love playing with Miss Vivian (which I think is very telling)! She helps foster the kids' creativity and I don't know what she does/says but they just adore her. The only con is that the website can be confusing but if you call they're usually very flexible and able to work things out. I am honestly so so grateful for Imaginology!!

We are going there for more than 5 years although its very old and everything too age-old and tacky…read morebut we kept going there cause of our loyalty, last time we were there we asked the girl working there for putting our kids small chocolate in their fridge for just 5 minutes , cause it was too hot and was melting, but she didnt let us and took it out of the fridge and we just trashed it!!! There are many brand new play grounds all around here and with this kind of bad behaviour of course you will loose your costumers, specially that there is nothing brand new and interesting for kids anymore. Very bad service!!!

How cool is it to live somewhere where you can just visit the old zoo while taking a stroll through…read morethe park? Pretty cool if you ask me. After living in LA for just under two years my wife and I figured it was about time we actually checked this place out. We came here with all three of our dogs on a Sunday morning and it was a really cool experience. When you arrive to Griffith Park all you really have to do is follow the signs and it'll lead you right to a small parking lot, usually also loaded with man-made signs for kids birthday parties and such. Once you park, you have to follow a trail and walk up a slight hill for like two minutes before you are suddenly staring at some old enclosures and such. These enclosures are fully open, meaning you can walk right up to them, inside of them, and check them out yourself. If you follow the path a little more you are able to go up a hill and explore behind the bigger exhibits (which I was unable to do this day thanks to some recent lung issues). I have no idea how big the actual old zoo area is, but the area we saw was really freaking cool and definitely has me itching to come back when I'm 100% in order to see everything. Overall, The Old Zoo is cool chance to go back in time for free and experience old some Los Angeles. The park is free, parking is free, and guess what? Checking out the old zoo is free too. You really can't go wrong with some slight exploration and cool photo opportunities. I look forward to coming back soon and exploring some more.

Not anything huge to see, but something unique if you're wanting to do a hiking trail anyway.read more

This is such a cute spot for a low cost birthday party! While we were only attendees recently at my…read moreson's classmate's party, I can't imagine booking one of the picnic areas for a party to be any more expensive than it is at a regular park ... but normal parks don't have a huge number of full sized trains laying around, a train museum, and a rideable train (only $2-3 per ticket) that goes around the whole place! If your kid is a train lover, this is a great FREE place to visit. I still can't believe it was free lol. There's a play place for kids inside the museum, but you have to provide your own train toy for the tracks there. There's a gift shop near the museum where you can buy those. We bought our son one of those that you pull backwards, then it goes fast in forward motion on its own. Totally worth the $12 price tag because he hasn't put it down since, and even sleeps with it lol. You can't get into any of the trains, BUT there is a black one under the awning where many of them are that you CAN go up into. The kids were obsessed. There's plenty of space on the property to setup a picnic for the day that doesn't involve having to rent one of the covered spots. We were there for 3-4 hours walking around the grounds with the kids - a huge group of 3-7 year olds - and none of them got bored.

My family and I have been coming to Travel Town for many years…read more After entering travel town and walking past the many old steam engines that display there is a ticket booth and entrance to the miniature railroad. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for children, the same as the Griffith railroad on the other side of park. The ride is a brisk 12 minutes or so and takes you around travel town with two laps across that time. The whole breadth of travel town is available to be seen, including the many steam engines, miniatures, gift shop, and more. The train you ride itself is comfortable, covered, clean and well maintained. They make an excellent ride for a family. Our kids loved it! As with Travel town's sister railroad on the other side of the park, I recommend sitting near the back of the train to avoid the exhaust smell. The staff are very friendly and clearly love their jobs - I don't blame them! The rest of travel town is otherwise quite limited. Aside from a large number of locomotives, and nice areas for picnic, the museum and other sites are fairly limited. You come to travel town to see the big locomotives and ride the miniature train - that's about it. A playground would go a long way! Thankfully, admission is free and parking is plentiful. You need not budget more than two hours for your visit unless you are a true train aficionado. Nonetheless, Travel Town is an excellent, worthwhile stop for families and especially those with children 8 and under.

Candy Land Kids Play Place is honestly such a great spot if you have little kids. We went not…read morereally knowing what to expect, and ended up staying way longer than planned because the kids were having so much fun. Everything is super colorful and set up in a way that actually keeps them entertained instead of getting bored after 10 minutes. One thing I really appreciated was how clean it was. That's always my biggest concern with indoor play places, and this one felt really well taken care of. The staff were also really nice and present without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. There's a good mix of things to do too--areas for younger kids and enough going on for slightly older ones so no one feels left out. It's one of those places where kids can just run around and be kids while parents can actually sit for a second and breathe. Overall, it just felt easy, fun, and stress-free. Definitely a spot I'd come back to or recommend to other parents looking to get their kids out of the house.

I especially loved how safe everything felt--soft play structures, well-organized zones, and staff who were friendly and attentive. It's also such a great spot for playdates or even birthday parties. Plenty of seating for parents, and honestly, it's one of those rare places where both kids AND adults leave happy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, stress-free place to let the kids burn energy and have a blast. We'll definitely be back!
