When people think of visiting Southern California with their kids, they automatically think of
Disneyland. And, while Disneyland and The California Adventure are great places to visit, you
might want to check out some of the other kid-friendly spots in the greater Los Angeles area as
well.

Santa Monica Pier
Beaches are always a family favorite, and the Los Angeles area certainly has a number that appeal
to families with kids. One beach always fun for families to visit is Santa Monica Beach and Pier.
Aside from a fun day at the beach playing on the sand, swimming in the ocean, or watching surfers,
the Santa Monica Pier has many different attractions which will keep your family busy during the
day and night, with parking only $7 to $8 for an entire day, depending on the time of year you visit.
Always a favorite with the kids is the Playland Arcade, with redemption games where you can
redeem winning coupons for prizes. You have your choice of pinball machines, skeeball, Pac Man,
and numerous other video games. There are over 200 games in the Playland Arcade.

Want a little education with your fun? Take the kids to the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, located at

Hollywood and Highland
Located, where else, but at the corner of Hollywood and Highland in Hollywood, Hollywood and
Highland is a collection of theaters, shops, restaurants and, yes, even an upscale bowling alley.
You'll want to visit Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where you can see and touch the handprints and
footprints of the stars.
If you're into movie stars and other celebrities, you might want to go across the street from
Hollywood and Highland Center and visit the Hollywood Wax Museum, a cheesy wax museum
which immortalizes such stars and characters as Clint Eastwood, Elton John, Elvis, Dracula, Harry
Potter, Lucy Lawless, John Travolta and Uma Thurman from "Pulp Fiction," and, of course, the cast
of "Baywatch."
