Weekend Fun with LA Kids: Family Play Day, CicLAvia, and Stroll 'n Run May 30-31

Party over here! Party over there! Holla! Mommy P in the house! Or in this case at the Autry, chilling with our SoCalMoms peeps and getting our family fun on. Come on down and touch some Aquarium of the Pacific sea life, snap yourself silly in the photo booth, get glammed from nails to hair, and watch the kid bands battle it out. It's going to be epic.

Or you can just walk it off. Or ride. Or dance. In Pasadena, you can show you don't need no stinkin' car to get where you're going. At South Coast Botanic Gardens, you can run-stroll in solidarity with fellow moms. So you think you can dance? Try shaking your tail feathers with Ernie, Cookie, and Elmo.

Whatever you're up for, we can help you figure out how to do it, whether you want to catch a new flick, an old one, or several in a row. Whether you want to pick a good book, or fine berries, or stars out of the sky, we're here for you. Come say hi.

Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Family Concerts & Nature Festival, May 30-31

Music fans certainly have their pick of concerts this weekend! A music festival at the Newton Free Library sounds pretty amazing, and there's also a family concert with the Chameleon Arts Ensemble that includes an instrument petting zoo.

Another great live entertainment option is at one of my family's favorite museums, the ICA Boston (pictured). This particular Play Date appears on our May GoList because of its combination of art-related activities along with a family-friendly performance.
