Fun For Families at L.A.’s Griffith Park

Year after year, visitors flock to Los Angeles to visit its many theme parks, beaches and museums, but when it comes to families, there is one landmark that shouldn’t be missed. Griffith Park is home to so many fun ways to spend a day that it keeps family travelers coming back again and again.

Along with attractions like a world-class observatory, the more than 4,300 acres of Griffith Park are home to seemingly endless opportunities for family fun and adventure. From Los Angeles Zoo to Autry Museum of the American West showcasing the unique heritage of the old west, to Travel Town Museum featuring the history of railway transportation in the American west, Griffith Park has it all.

And because it is, in essence, a park, Griffith Park also features plenty of outdoor adventure to enjoy the year-round beautiful weather of Southern California, whether you are looking to hike, play, explore or picnic. Hike the numerous trails to explore the beauty of the park, including one leading to the iconic Hollywood sign with stunning views of the city below, or explore the park on horseback with a guided tour at Sunset Ranch Hollywood.

Be sure to visit Griffith Park Pony Rides and Petting Zoo for the little riders in the family. The park also features a Shane’s Inspiration playground, a play area designed to be universally accessible for children of all needs and abilities.
