The struggle is real for us Valley moms: you want to do fun things with your kids in LA, but you don't want to crawl down the 405 (or 101, or 10... take your pick) in rush hour traffic all the way home. Enter Discovery Cube LA. Pasadena has Kidspace (and the Southern California Children's Museum), Santa Monica has The Cayton, Downtown LA has the California Science Center, and Irvine has Pretend City; we get Discovery Cube LA: San Fernando's finest children's museum.
When I told my kids we were going for a visit, they shrieked in excitement. "I can't wait to do the hockey games!" my oldest exclaimed. "Can we go in the laser room?" my five-year-old asked. "Can I stand in the tornado?" My three-year-old begged. The Discovery Cube LA is so educational, entertaining, and engaging that I'm buying myself a season pass (no really, I am!).
