Submitted by Kristen Schrass on Thu, 04/14/2022 - 10:44am

Sunny day, chasing the clouds away. Hanging with your idols will always chase the clouds away!

We are spoiled with so many amusement parks in California, but the new Sesame Place San Diego truly offers something different. There are rides for all ages, a musical show, a parade, thrilling water slides, an interactive replica of the iconic main street of Sesame Street, and character meet and greets, all while being a certified autism center. So, in my best Count Von Count voice, here are "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ah, ah, ah, 10 reasons to get to Sesame Place San Diego."

If you are planning to travel to San Diego to visit Sesame Place, don't miss our San Diego Family Travel Guide and this list of the Best Things To Do in San Diego Besides the San Diego Zoo—or if you are planning to add the zoo to your travel plans, check out See the San Diego Zoo Like a Local: Inside Tips for a Great Visit With Kids.

Great Shows for Kids in Los Angeles This Fall: From Bob Baker To My Fair Lady

Submitted by Kristen Schrass on Tue, 10/05/2021 - 10:31am

This tale as old as time is a great first theater experience for little theatergoers. Photo courtesy of the Encore Theatre Group

As a huge theater lover, finally being able to share live theater with my three-year-old is so exciting. Theater can bring stories to life like no other medium can. Kids’ theater can make a huge impact on our children and their imaginations; at the very least, it’s a really fun-filled family day. While shows have been dark for well over a year, the lights are coming back up and performers are eagerly waiting to tell their stories, make your kids’ day, and even make a theater lover out of them. These are some great shows happening in Los Angeles this fall that will delight kids as young as 3 years old.

For more fall fun, including loads of Halloween events and activities, check out our Los Angeles Fall Fun Guide.
