Griffith Park and The Hollywood Sign
In addition to being the third largest urban park in the nation and right smack in the center of Los Angeles, Griffith Park is one of our favorite (not so hidden) gems for family fun when visiting Los Angeles. The park spans miles of hiking trails, sunny vistas, perfect photo opportunities, playgrounds, a zoo, and more! Griffith Park also is home to some of the best concerts in the world, housing the world famous Greek Theatre in its foothills; entertainers from all generations perform at the Greek Theater every year. Finally, Griffith Park is home to the most famous sign in the world- The Hollywood Sign!! The Hollywood Sign is nestled in the Hollywood Hills, in the heart of Griffith Park If you’re traveling to LA with kids, we highly recommend taking your family on one of our many kid and family friendly hiking tours in Griffith Park! Our Hollywood Sign Express Tour is an easy walk along a beautiful trail in the park, leading you and your family DIRECTLY below the Hollywood Sign! This easy walk is held first thing in the morning and lasts just 90 minutes, allowing you and your family to kick start your day with some sunshine and fresh air before setting off to explore the rest of the city! This walk is so easy- we recommend it for guests ages 6-96. You can book your Hollywood Sign Express Tour here!
A Beach Bike Ride
One of the many reasons that LA rocks is that we truly have it all out here; sunny skies, beautiful beaches, gorgeous mountains, and picture perfect weather, all year round. When planning a vacation with your family, particularly with younger children, the planning for the trip can feel like anything BUT a vacation. You’ve been juggling crazy schedules, multitasking, playing cruise ship director, and barely getting a minute to yourself. On top of all of that, you’ve got a crew of little ones to entertain outside of their comfort zone for several days; and we haven’t even talked about time for yourself! The best part about choosing LA when you come to visit is that we have elite weather all year round; there’s rarely a chance of anything (literally) raining on your parade when you come visit, making planning your family friendly trip a breeze. And speaking of breezes, our next favorite family friendly activity in LA is an easy breezy beach bike ride! We highly recommend taking your family for a beach bike ride through Venice and Santa Monica. The Marvin Braun Bike Trail stretches over 22 miles across the coast of Southern California, and is excellent for catching sun rays, people watching, and enjoying some life lasting family memories. You can bike or stroll along this beach bike path, all the while stopping at such popular Santa Monica or Venice locations as the Santa Monica Pier, the Venice Canals, or the Santa Monica Promenade. There are plenty of family friendly restaurants and cafés where you can stop and grab a bite, and believe the hype about the sunsets in Los Angeles- they’re every bit as extraordinary as you’ve heard they are. For the best family friendly beach bike experience, take our Santa Monica and Venice Beach Bike Tour, or our LA in a Day Bike Tour to get up close and personal with the beautiful beaches of Los Angeles!
