Places to Visit with Your Kids in LA
Los Angeles is one of the most family-friendly cities in the world — sun-soaked, endlessly entertaining, and full of experiences that kids and parents love equally. Whether you're a local planning a weekend adventure or a visitor exploring the city for the first time, you'll want a bag that keeps up with you. That's where Luli Bébé comes in. Our Monaco Diaper Bags, Weekender Travel Bags, and backpacks are designed for parents who refuse to sacrifice style for function. Here's our curated guide to the best places to visit with your kids in LA — and how to pack smart for every stop.
1. Griffith Observatory
Perched above the city with sweeping views of the Hollywood Sign and the LA skyline, Griffith Observatory is a must for curious kids. Explore the planetarium shows, touch a real meteorite, and watch the sunset paint the sky in gold. Pack your Monaco Diaper Bag with snacks, sunscreen, and a light jacket — the hilltop breeze can surprise you. Its spacious interior and stroller-friendly straps make it the perfect companion for the hike up.
2. Santa Monica Pier & Beach
Rides, games, ocean air, and sandy toes — Santa Monica Pier is pure magic for little ones. Spend the morning on the beach building sandcastles, then hit the Pacific Park rides in the afternoon. Our Weekender Travel Bag is ideal here: roomy enough for towels, swimsuits, and a change of clothes, yet sleek enough to look great in every beach photo.
3. The Getty Center
Art meets architecture at The Getty, and admission is always free (just pay for parking). Kids love the interactive Family Room and the sprawling gardens. The museum's tram ride up the hill is a thrill in itself. Carry your essentials in the Monaco Diaper Bag — its organized compartments keep diapers, wipes, and snacks within easy reach while you explore world-class galleries.
4. Natural History Museum of LA County
Dinosaur fossils, a live butterfly pavilion, and a hands-on Nature Lab — the Natural History Museum is endlessly fascinating for kids of all ages. Plan to spend a full morning here. Toss your Luli Bébé backpack on and go hands-free as you chase your little ones through the exhibits. Its lightweight design and padded straps mean you'll stay comfortable all day long.
5. LA Zoo & Botanical Gardens
Home to over 1,400 animals, the LA Zoo is a full-day adventure. From giraffes to gorillas, there's always something new to discover. Wear your Luli Bébé backpack to keep both hands free for stroller pushing, hand-holding, and impromptu animal photo ops. The vegan leather exterior wipes clean easily — a must when you're navigating a zoo with toddlers.
6. Kidspace Children's Museum (Pasadena)
Just a short drive from downtown LA, Kidspace is an outdoor wonderland designed specifically for children. Climbing structures, water play, and science exhibits make it a favorite for families with kids under 10. Pack your Monaco Diaper Bag with a full change of clothes — the water features are irresistible and your little one will get soaked.
7. Grand Park
Right in the heart of downtown LA, Grand Park is a beautiful urban green space perfect for a relaxed family afternoon. Splash pad, open lawns, and stunning views of City Hall make it a go-to for locals. Grab your Weekender Travel Bag, pack a picnic, and enjoy a slow, sunny afternoon in the city.
8. Descanso Gardens
A hidden gem in La Cañada Flintridge, Descanso Gardens is a serene escape with enchanting oak forests, rose gardens, and a beloved children's train ride. It's the perfect low-key outing for babies and toddlers. Sling your Monaco Diaper Bag over your shoulder and stroll through the blooms — its convertible carry options make it easy to wear however feels most comfortable.
9. Aquarium of the Pacific (Long Beach)
From sharks to sea otters, the Aquarium of the Pacific delivers an unforgettable underwater experience for the whole family. The outdoor Shark Lagoon and lorikeet forest are highlights. Bring your Luli Bébé backpack for a hands-free experience as you navigate the exhibits and feeding stations with excited kids in tow.
10. Exposition Park
Home to the California Science Center (where you can see the Space Shuttle Endeavour!), the Natural History Museum, and beautiful rose gardens, Exposition Park is a full-day destination. Pack your Weekender Travel Bag with everything you need for a day of discovery — it's spacious enough to hold it all without weighing you down.
