This Cool Indoor Playground in the Valley Is Super-sized and Our Kids' New Favorite

Kids Empire in Woodland Hills is like an indoor playground on steroids—and I mean that in the best possible way. It's super-sized fun, with a giant, multi-level play structure, a babies-only area, a disco room, and tons of seating for parents. It's the kind of place that can entertain toddlers and tweens alike, making it a great option for families with mixed aged siblings.
