Weekday Event Picks for LA Kids: Dinosaurs and Magic, January 26 - 30
Heading to the library on a Monday morning is a gentle way to begin the week, and the Central Library in Glendale has a drop-in play day. Stay, play, browse, and definitely bring home some reading material for the rest of the week. I love libraries when a holiday approaches; there are bound to be plenty of books about Valentine’s Day to distract little ones from the candy by focusing on the spirit of the day and its origins.
Teen thespians can do their drama thing at the Miles Playhouse. Connoisseurs of magic and performance might enjoy The Odyssey Theater's production of Smoke and Mirrors, and prehistoric beasts take the stage at the Natural History Museum. Or why not plan an outing to DTLA's Flower Mart? The fun doesn't stop there, of course; there are always more ideas on our daily event calendar.

Not that they need one, but this is an opportunity for teens to be dramatic at the Miles Playhouse in Santa Monica. Geared for high school students, no parents are allowed. This free performance lab has surprise mentors and a DJ.

3. Final Kids' Club at Westside Pavilion – Wednesday
Last call for Kids' Club! Westside Pavilion's collaboration with National Geographic Kids plays its swan song this week, with a final installment dedicated to outer space.

4. Dinosaur Encounters – Thursday
This dino adventure is totally cool, though some kids may be frightened by the Natural History Museum’s lifelike (and nearly life size) animatronic puppets. Most will revel in an afternoon spent in the land that time forgot.

5. Smoke and Mirrors – Friday
Appropriate for ages 8 and up, this magic themed interactive show is likely to charm most of your family. Do read our review to make sure the themes are appropriate for you and yours.
