Submitted by Meghan Rose on

Here's the fall bucket list for kids, jam-packed with fun things to do in Los Angeles this fall!
It’s easy to buy into the notion that Los Angeles doesn’t have seasons. LA’s pendulum only swings from summer heat to a more temperate 70ish as fall falls. But that doesn’t mean Angelenos don’t look forward to fall activities and autumn adventures!
Fall means we can start to do the things that it was too hot for in the summer (like hiking, camping, and taking trips to the desert) while still hitting the beach. We can even get our fill of fall fun like fall festivals in Los Angeles, apple picking near LA, pumpkin patches in Los Angeles, and leaf peeping near LA.
Without further ado, here are fabulous fall activities near Los Angeles. For more seasonal fun, be sure to bookmark our Fall Fun Guide for Los Angeles and OC Kids.

LA's Best Gymnastics Classes and Tumbling Classes for Kids Who Love To Bounce
Submitted by Kylie Williams on

Gymnastics classes in Los Angeles allow kids to get all that energy out and bounce off the walls and the floor. Some kids want to be the next big Olympic tumbler; others need a padded space to run and maybe figure out a somersault.
My toddlers love a good, colorful gymnastics space. The foam pits, trampolines, giant mats, and balance beams are the perfect way to gain body awareness, learn listening skills, and maintain balance. If you are looking for gymnastics classes that are child-centered, non-competitive, and possibly closer to home, one of these kids' gyms may be just your speed.
Classes keep the kiddos entertained while learning and honing new skills, so in addition to gymnastics classes, sign them up for sports classes in Los Angeles and LA's best dance classes. Find even more class ideas in our Classes Guide for Los Angeles Kids.
