A newly renovated interactive outdoor park/garden great for kids. Leads to plenty of walking trails into two large parks - Baldwin Scenic park or across a bridge into the larger Kenneth Hahn Park. See if you can find the serene Japanese Garden (coy fish, turtles) if you venture across the new footbridge!

The Getty is a gorgeous museum located on amazing grounds with breathtaking views of the beach and downtown. Worth a day’s visit. It’s free but parking is $15. Arrive early to avoid tram waits.

We absolutely love this location! It’s family friendly because the kids love climbing, running around, and exploring the grounds. It’s filled with gardens, fountains, and beautiful walks. For history lovers, this collection is amazing.

We absolutely love this hands-in, educational aquarium with newly renovated interactive areas. Both indoor and outdoor outdoor exhibits. Whale watching tickets (Harbor Cruise) are cheaper with Aquarium purchase. Membership is worth it if you have a group with kids under 17.

The Endeavor is a “must see”. Tons of information on the journey of this space craft through space and upon its retirement. Admission is “free” but parking is $15. Extra exhibits require ticket purchase. Accessible via the metro train. Mostly indoor spaces but vast ceilings and room to socially distance.

A wonderful park, nearby hike with wonderful views. For science lovers, the telescope is amazing! Be careful with roadside parking at night (when views are best) due to no street lights and passing cars.
