1. $1 Splash Annenberg Beach House – Monday
Dive into Marion Davies’ Art Deco pool for the bargain price of one dollar per person. Admission to the Annenberg Beach House pool is usually ten dollars, but on summer Mondays, a discount is available. Arrive early to park, but once your name is on the list, you can picnic at the beach, swim in the ocean, and then come back to the pool to cool off when your number is called.

2. Kids Club on the Green - Tuesday
The Americana at Brand hosts summer concerts on Tuesdays at 11:00am and 12:00pm. This week it’s Jambo. There is also a play structure and sand.

3. Romeo and Juliet – Wednesday
Enjoy an outdoor picnic and presentation of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy at the VA’s Japanese Gardens in West Los Angeles. This is a great work doing good work, as the program provides training and employment for our veterans. Military Personnel can enjoy the show for free.

4. Free Evening at MOCA – Thursday
Head downtown for some modern art. Both the Grand Avenue and Geffen Contemporary are free on Thursday evenings – a great excuse to slurp some noodles in Little Tokyo for dinner.

5. Bubble Party – Friday
Little Acorns Grow in Altadena hosts a bubble party for little kids. This is free, but reservations are required.

And, since a playful summer also needs a bunch of time playing games close to home, our SUMMER OF PLAY guide is full of ideas you can do any day of the week. Have a great one!
