Santa Monica is a top destination for families visiting Los Angeles, offering a perfect blend of beachside fun and kid-friendly attractions. At the heart of the experience is the Santa Monica Pier, where kids can ride the iconic Pacific Park Ferris wheel, play carnival games, explore the arcade, and visit the Heal the Bay Aquarium beneath the pier to learn about local marine life. The pier also has street performers and musicians, adding a festive vibe that keeps little ones entertained.

Just steps away, Santa Monica Beach provides plenty of space for sandcastles, splashing in the waves, or renting bikes and surreys to cruise along the scenic Marvin Braude Bike Trail. Families can also enjoy a relaxed picnic or open-air play at Tongva Park, which features modern playgrounds, splash fountains, and beautiful garden paths. Nearby, Cayton Children’s Museum offers hands-on exhibits, creative workshops, and interactive play zones perfect for toddlers to pre-teens.

The area is walkable and full of family-friendly cafés, ice cream shops, and casual dining spots, making it easy to take breaks between activities. With its mix of ocean views, playful energy, and accessible attractions, Santa Monica offers a fun and memorable experience for families traveling with kids.
