Where have you been oh fun, little pretend play place?! I thought about going here last summer but honestly the price turned me off (on the day I went it was $8 per kid age 1 and over and $11 for adults) which adds up when you have four boys, so I never went. My friend had four extra passes so we jumped at the opportunity to go this year.

My boys loved every minute of it! We spent four hours there and the boys didn't even go into each exhibit. It reallly is a city--there was a fire station, police station, dispatch (which you could really call the fire and police), library, sushi shop, post office (with letters and cards you could write on and take to mail in various places in the city), a marina (with build your own boats and wind tubes you could turn to race your boat or you could fish), a dentist office, a doctor's office, a farm (complete with a hatchery and baby chicks), various building construction sites, a dress up stage and lights, kid cars to ride on, grocery store and more! Each place had all of the clothes you needed to dress up in and the appropriate toys to pretend that you really were a sushi chef, a police man or the mail man. When lunch time hit they opened "real" cafe where you could buy snacks, drinks or real lunch but they had tons of tables set up and most people had packed their own lunches! They had lots of healthy optionstoo! Oh, and they also had a fully stocked art room which we spent time in before heading out! I need to weigh my options and see if I'd like to get a family pass!

The only things that I didn't like were when the school classes came it got crowded (but they have it open an extra hour early for members only) AND the parking is atrocious (bring a stroller if you have someone who doesn't like to walk), There is parking right next to it but it is in an industrial park so when that parking is gone you have to walk past three or four businesses and around a building--it is free parking though! If you haven't gone here it's definitely worth a day! Tip: If you go at 4:00PM, admission is half off ($5.50) but my kids would'nt have been happy only spending an hour there. The museum closes at 5:00. Good way to try it out though!

This place brings back great memories to me! My parents brought us up from California to Brighton to ski. I learned to ski here and always felt like it was nice, homey and a great place to be! :) Now I'll take my kids here once they're old enough. There are lots of places along the way if you need to rent equipment as well! :) Have fun!

You get what you pay for here! World class animals, shows and lots of fun. If we were closer I'd get passes for the boys so that we could enjoy more activities more often. It is definitely something that you need more than one day to see/experience all of the shows, animals and rides. Tons of fun for everyone!

This is a world-class zoo but it is so big and so spread out that you need more than one day to see and experience it all. It has every kind of animal that you can think of to enjoy. I haven't been here with my own kids since they are so little but I went with my older nieces and nephews and they had a blast. Great place!

This visitors' center to the Los Angeles Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is perfect for members of the church or those wanting to know a little more about them, their temples, or beliefs. It was recently redone and reopened in the fall of 2010. There are tons of interactive videos, games, tours and even a kids area where they can see videos of kids explaining simple gospel truths. There is a neat room that has videos that teaches about the Savior and his life. It is good for all ages. From Thanksgiving to the first weekend in January they have an awesome display of lights on the Temple grounds as well. Definitely a great place to take the family!
