Classic Los Angeles with kids

Finding the best things to do in any city seems easy enough - just a simple Google search and off you go. But when you take a minute to define what really is "the best," it's a lot harder than you think. So many destinations in this city have an eclectic and rich history that has chrinicled and shaped L.A.'s landscape. Check out these places to take you family that continue to shape L.A.'s character today. Also follow me on social media @goldenstatefamilyadventures

Hollywood Walk of Fame
@jharrison
The Walk of Fame is also a great place to take photos. Get creative and pose with your favorite stars, or have some fun with the street performers who are always eager to entertain. (Note: street performers will expect a tip if you take a photo of them) Here are a few tips for making the most of your visit to the Hollywood Walk of Fame with your family: -Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. -Bring sunscreen and a hat, as it can get hot and sunny. -Take your time and enjoy the experience. There's no need to rush! -Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends and holidays.

TCL Chinese Theatre
@jharrison
You have to at least take one picture with your kids putting their hands in a movie star's handprints. Just bring hand sanitizer.

Capitol Records Building
@jharrison
Even though this famous recording studio is not open to the public, it is worth a visit to gaze at its unique circular design, which looks like a stack of old 45s.

Central Library
@jharrison
If we're talking indoor library play spaces (hint: we are) then this would be the holy grail. A huge dedicated children's wing leads into a giant play space with a puppet theater, play kitchen (with all the fixings), huge floor books, cushions, soft blocks for tumbling and building, plus a giant colorful animal rug. We love how the play space is separate from the kids' library and reading areas. Check out the theater created specifically for children's story time, puppet shows, and the like. Paid parking is available in an adjacent lot at 524 Flower Street, and only $1 if you enter after 3pm.
