We'd sway forever
THEME PARKS
The offer in Tinseltown, the name by which Hollywood is known, is varied and can be adapted to the tastes of each one. The theme parks, although they are reckless because of the queues to enter, enjoy the attractions, eat..., they are the favorite destination of children. It's hard to give up Mickey and company when the little ones dream of seeing the famous mouse from the Disney factory.
Arm yourself with courage because it will be worth the queues **at Universal Studios**, which now also has the Harry Potter attraction; **from Disneyland , Disney California Adventure or Knott's Berry Farm **. That moment when your child sees Donald Duck for the first time is priceless. Not in vain did Walt Disney say that The best vacations are done with the family and Disneyland in Los Angeles was invented with that idea.
Impossible to go to Los Angeles and not visit a theme park
OF MUSEUMS
Los Angeles has been adapting to family tourism and that can also be seen in museums. The Star Eco Station is an example of this . Dedicated to environment with an exotic animal rescue center , this museum was created in 1997 by the Bozzi family with the idea of preserving and educating in a recreational environment. Since then it has grown to become one of the busiest in California.
Of the same style is the **Discovery Cube**, a science center where children explore energy, transportation, the environment and they can even take an earthquake preparedness course or enjoy a 4D movie.
For their part, the museums ** Lacma and The J. Paul Getty Museum offer special programs for children;** and the Museum of Natural History invites the little ones to spend the night there, as in the movie starring Ben Stiller Night at the Museum.
SHOULD WE ADD ADRENALINE?
Lovers of slightly stronger emotions can opt for take a two-hour horseback ride through Mount Hollywood . On the way you will enjoy 360º views over Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, the Pacific Ocean and the Hollywood sign. Why not round off the day with a typical American barbecue?
Another option is to **visit Skateland** in Northridge. Open since 1958, it is a good opportunity for adults to remember their childhood on roller skates and the little ones enjoy for the first time on four wheels. And, since the game is on wheels, how about participating in a car race at Racer's Edge?
Water lovers can opt for some surf lessons in Malibu. And the fact is that the beach is one of the great attractions of Los Angeles. You can camp at Leo Carrillo State Park , where there are many marine pools, spend a day at Paradise Cove, the only beach with hammocks; or watch the surfers off the shore at Topanga Beach.

FOR ATHLETES
There are different options for those who enjoy watching sports. You can choose a baseball game at Dodger Stadium, for one basketball at Staples Center or watch play in his field to the football team l from the city, LA Galaxy .
THEATER, YOURS IS PURE THEATER
If your children like acting, they can enjoy the legendary Bob Maker Puppet Theater, attend a series taping or marvel at El Capitan Theater , the Disney-owned theater where characters, whether they are princesses, pirates or monsters, become reality, delighting the little ones.
And Snow White came to life
WHAT DO WE EAT?
There are multiple options for lunch or dinner in Los Angeles at a good price. It is the case of the classic burger joint In-N-Out Burger , with a surprise menu that includes a Neapolitan milkshake that combines the flavors of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
Another possibility is Chipotle, with Mexican food fresh and healthy. Of the same cut, but arrived from Korea, Bibigo, where everyone can prepare their own dish.
FOR SLEEPING
Such busy days as these require a well-deserved rest. We opted for two hotels, relatively central, well connected and what they provide rooms with double beds for four people : The Sheraton Universal Hotel (333 Universal Hollywood Drive) and the Intercontinental in Century City (2151, Avenue of the Stars).
