Kid-friendly Activities in Griffith Park, Los Angeles

Griffith Park offers families a diverse and adventure-filled day out in Los Angeles, combining science, nature, history, and pure fun.

At the heart of it is the Griffith Observatory, where kids can stargaze through public telescopes, explore interactive space exhibits, and catch immersive planetarium shows—with breathtaking city and Hollywood Sign views as a bonus. Just down the hill, the Ferndell Nature Trail provides a shaded, stroller-friendly path through lush greenery and a miniature stream, perfect for little explorers.

Train enthusiasts will be thrilled by Travel Town Museum, a free attraction where children can climb aboard vintage engines, ride a narrow-gauge railroad, and learn about rail history for just a few dollars. Plus, the park hosts two ride-on trains—the Travel Town Railroad and Griffith Park & Southern Railroad—adding a touch of old‑time charm.

For playground time, Shane’s Inspiration stands out as a universally accessible space with inclusive swings, slides, spinners, and a whimsical carousel at the top of a hill with lovely views. Nearby, the Old LA Zoo ruins offer a unique, slightly spooky backdrop for picnicking and light hiking, giving kids a taste of adventure and history.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy easy family-friendly hikes, including the scenic Old Zoo Trail, Amir’s Gardens, and the Hollywood Reservoir loop, each offering nature immersion, wildlife sightings, and great vantage points. Horseback rides are also on offer via outfits like Sunset Ranch, providing guided tours with spectacular views of the park and Hollywood Sign.
