It’s summer and that means more family vacations, and a need to keep the kids happy and engaged. Kid friendly Los Angeles things to do are too numerous to mention here. But we’ll do our best to throw out a handful of great ideas: Kids typically don’t like shopping, but with a spot like The Grove and The Original Farmers Market, you can disguise your shopping with great visuals and entertainment. Just walking through the Farmers Market alone will have your child’s full attention, for there are candy shops, fudge makers, ice cream shops, and donuts.

In fact, Glitterati Tours of Los Angeles actually gets busier during a rainy day, for most guests would rather be in a warm car rather than outdoors at a soaking wet amusement park. Visitors can also enjoy our many galleries and museums, great restaurants, The Griffith Park Observatory (views probably won’t
