Weekday Event Picks for LA Kids: Pajama Time, King Arthur, & Star Gazing, January 12-16

1/11/15 - By Jacqueline Stansbury

I know it sounds a bit bizarre, but in Camelot, that’s how conditions are. As the rest of the country braces for winter storms, our little Angelenos are ice skating on the beach and continue to enjoy plenty of outdoor fun at places like the South Coast Botanical Gardens.

Still. It is winter, and that’s a good time to snuggle up in your jammies at the Torrance Library’s Pajama-Rama. In Thousand Oaks, Theater League presents Lerner and Lowe’s Camelot. This is a great way to introduce girls and boys to the joys of musical theater. 

Read on for our weekday picks this week, which are just a sample of what's on our full calendar.

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

1. Pajama-Rama – Monday
Jamma, Jamma, Jamma, Jamma, PJs! The Walteria library in Torrance hosts an evening story time where kids and their caregivers are encouraged to wear pajamas and bring a blankie. Meanwhile in Pasadena, kids are snuggling up with and reading to real live dogs.

See all Monday events.

2. Critters and Kids: Chimps – Tuesday
This workshop class at the LA Zoo for children and their caregivers includes stories, games, activities, and of course a visit with the animal residents.
