So the train ride is a lot of fun and we love taking our daughter here…read more The conductor Vincent is great. He does a good pace and is very welcoming. The conductor Edgar is not as welcoming and his pace is off. It either is too fast, too slow and can jolt. The main reason the score is not higher is because it is a little run down and scenery is not maintained well.

Such a fun cheap outdoor activity for the family in Griffith Park. It's all by itself now since the…read morepony rides are gone. I wonder if they plan on putting a playground or something in its place. I think that would be a nice spot for a playground so that there's more to do than just the train. The train ride itself is 10-15 mins and they have the area decorated depending on the holiday. We went near Easter and they had bunnies, eggs, carrots, etc all inside. Really nice. If you used to go here as a kid, definitely come back with your kids. Nostalgia will hit and it'll be just as you remembered it.

Stopped by to try a new park to play at and was surprised I didn't notice it before. There's a…read moresmall playground, swings, a basketball court and an indoor court as well. I had to leave soon when I noticed a couple sitting off on the side smoking cigarettes who refused to stop smoking after being made aware of the no smoking sign on the playground. It appears many families come through this location on Sundays so it's a great place to hang out, have some lunch with your kiddo. Just wished it was more regulated to keep the smoking away.

It's a bit bigger than the Arts Disctric Park. Lots of parking meter parking (don't forget to bring your card or coins for parking like I did!). Tip: if you want to avoid the crowd, come in the morning until around 1pm. After 2pm it's full of toddlers lol I think there's a school nearby?

We spent 2 hours here, but could have spent so much more time if we didn't have a deadline. We went…read moreon the free day (first Friday of the month), but with that free ticket you only get 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon before the place closes, so it's a great taster to make you want to come again! Our kids ages 2 to 7 all had a great time! There was so much to do, from walking through the river and doing water play, to sand play in the pretend lake, to crafts (that we didn't have time for), to climbing equipment, and building/engineering/physics activities. Plenty of things to do both indoor and outdoor. The physics section is great for older kids too, even middle school (but the rest of the museum is definitely geared to elementary).

The Kidspace Museum in Pasadena is one of the better children's interactive museums we've been to…read more It has a huge, shared parking lot near Rose Bowl Stadium. Outside, there are two adjacent outdoor kid's playgrounds. Near the entrance they have juice and fruit vendors and a balloonist. Entry fee is very reasonable at under $50 for family of three with in-and-out privileges. Inside the museum, its like 80% outdoor exhibits and 20% indoor. They have an onsite cafe and food vendors throughout. The outdoor exhibits has a park area dedicated to physics. You'll see fans, pulleys, etc. to help your child appreciate scientific concepts while having fun. They also have tie-dye stations, climbing structures, tricycle race tracks, live music, and my son's favorites - the sandbox and pretend farmer's market and veggie patch. I noted lots of friendly staff dressed as camp rangers working with the kids and maintaining order with a smile, which is huge. Inside the buildings, you'll see traditional kid activities like toy trains, quiet reading areas, legos, and even more climbing structures. Looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area. The in-and-out policy is nice since they have lots of nearby offsite restaurants in nearby Old Pasadena.

Candy Land Kids Play Place is honestly such a great spot if you have little kids. We went not…read morereally knowing what to expect, and ended up staying way longer than planned because the kids were having so much fun. Everything is super colorful and set up in a way that actually keeps them entertained instead of getting bored after 10 minutes. One thing I really appreciated was how clean it was. That's always my biggest concern with indoor play places, and this one felt really well taken care of. The staff were also really nice and present without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. There's a good mix of things to do too--areas for younger kids and enough going on for slightly older ones so no one feels left out. It's one of those places where kids can just run around and be kids while parents can actually sit for a second and breathe. Overall, it just felt easy, fun, and stress-free. Definitely a spot I'd come back to or recommend to other parents looking to get their kids out of the house.

I especially loved how safe everything felt--soft play structures, well-organized zones, and staff who were friendly and attentive. It's also such a great spot for playdates or even birthday parties. Plenty of seating for parents, and honestly, it's one of those rare places where both kids AND adults leave happy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, stress-free place to let the kids burn energy and have a blast. We'll definitely be back!

It has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, plenty of space for kids from about 1 to 10 years old, and it's always clean. There are restrooms available and a snack area, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, it's a great place for families to relax, especially in the heat of Los Angeles.

I did not want to be the one to tell them they had to stop eating that would very inappropriate. I was really disappointed with Brain because he came up to the parents and cut off there wrist band. Brain was very persistent with telling people that their time was over. He even took away some of the children's goodie bags. He was very persistent on a time to do the cake and eating and telling us it was over. I politely asked him for 10 more minutes to allow our guests to eat. This was our first time having an event at sky zone and although the kids had a lot of fun there were a lot of things that were very disappointing Each child was supposed to get a card to come back for another day Brain was heading out the cards they were not in the bag as they were told that they would be in there. I know that we will go back but it definitely is something to think having a party at sky zone there's just a lot of negativity that weighs out the positive

There is an extremely uninviting metal gate around it with a keypad. I'm sure it serves a purpose, but if you need that, maybe a park isn't what's needed right here. The inside of the park could use a lot of TLC. There was just one person sleeping in it when I passed; no one else utilizing it - and it's a lovely day. There's also a bunch of temporary fencing inside the park. Not a place I want to sit down with my cup of tea. 2026: 31/100

People were jumped on, attacked by big dogs. Though the park closed at 5, dog owners would show up with bolt cutters to break the lock and let their dogs in whenever they wanted. It's made it unclean and dangerous and no longer a place for people to visit and enjoy. In the last year or so, a deceased dog was found inside. As for the complaints that there's dangerous things inside for dogs like concrete and bench bars - yeah, it's because it's not meant to be a dog park.
