Things to do with kids in Los Angeles
The City of Angels is surely the entertainment capital of the world, and as such has a wealth of interesting attractions for children. There's no end to the abundance and variety of fun to be had by kids on holiday in Los Angeles.
If parents manage to drag their children away from the wonders of Disneyland, or the theme park at Universal Studios, there are also a number of beaches, parks, museums and shows to enjoy. There are also various tour buses offering a comprehensive Los Angeles sightseeing experience.
The weather in LA is generally sunny and warm, which is perfect for a holiday, but summers do get a little too warm and and there's more rain in winter. The best time to holiday with kids in LA is spring or autumn, when the weather's at its most pleasant and the holiday crowds haven't inundated the destination.

Warner Bros Studios
The tour at Warner Bros offers a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at an authentic working studio and provides more of a technical slant than the Universal Studios tour, as it focusses on the authentic filmmaking procedure. Visitors can explore the sets used in productions such as The Big Bang Theory and Friends. The informative two-hour tour takes visitors to view the sets, prop construction, wardrobe and sound department, as well as visiting active film and television sets where it's sometimes possible to watch actors in the midst of filming. There's also an introductory film and museum depicting the studio's film history.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter draws visitors into J.K. Rowling's enchanting universe of magical spells and mystical creatures, where they can meet the dark villains and daring heroes they encountered in the ever-popular fantasy series. Guests can marvel at meticulously recreated landmarks such as Hogwarts Castle, savour butterbeer, visit the shops and restaurants on the bustling streets of the Hogsmeade section, and enjoy exhilarating rides in the Hogwarts portion. It's absolutely worth purchasing interactive wands at Ollivanders, as they allow guests to set off some magical effects by flicking their wrists at a few designated spots in Hogsmeade.
