Museum Free Days

Museum Free Days

Southern California has many fun and educational places for children and adults.  We encourage you take your child out to explore the arts, sciences, and history our city has to offer.  Don't feel like you have to be an expert in these areas or that you have to know all the questions that your child may have. Instead, go out and learn together.
