The Music Center is a fun spot to go to in LA, even if you don't have a play or musical to attend. The fun fountains and sculpture are the main attention getters; kids can run through the patterned fountains on a hot day, or enjoy running just ahead of the pattern and stay dry.
Grab a quick bite to eat at one of the carts nearby and enjoy beautiful urban LA scenery and relaxation with your family.
Tours are free at this world-class performing-arts complex that includes the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (LA Opera; www.losangelesopera.com), the Mark Taper Forum (Center Theatre Group, www.taperahmason.com), the Ahmanson Theatre, and
now the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The striking, stainless-steel $247-million Disney Hall, designed by Frank O. Gehry, premiered in October 2003 as the new home of the LA Philharmonic (www.laphil.com) and LA Master Chorale (www.lamc.org). Get your kids interested in arts and architecture with a free self-guided audio tour, available daily. Call (323) 858–2000 for schedule and times, or visit www.disney
hall.com. The hall also features REDCAT (Roy & Edna Disney CalArts Theatre—www.redcatweb.org for an eclectic performance) as well as gardens, a dedicated
children’s outdoor amphitheater, five restaurants, an art gallery, and an underground parking garage.
