Planning a visit
These run from 1 to 81 miles out from the middle of Los Angeles. Hours move with the season and with school holidays, so check the listing before you set off. If you run one of the places on this page, you can claim it for free and keep its hours and prices right.
Before you go
Grip socks. Almost every venue requires them for children and several require them for adults. Most sell them at the door for a few dollars. Bringing your own is cheaper and means you are not buying a fourth pair.
Check whether adults pay. It runs from free to full price and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you.
Weekday mornings are the toddler rush. If you want space, aim for after two on a school day. Weekend mornings are the busiest hours of the week almost everywhere.
Ninety minutes is the realistic ceiling for most children under five. There is rarely a gradual wind down. Leaving with time left on the clock is not wasted money, it is a better afternoon.
Call ahead in school holidays. Several of these venues run camps and private events that close open play with no notice on the website.

Common questions about family entertainment centers in Los Angeles
How many family entertainment centers are there in Los Angeles?
We list 32 family entertainment centers within 90 miles of Los Angeles, CA. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
Which family entertainment centers in Los Angeles publish their prices?
8 of the 32 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.
Are any family entertainment centers in Los Angeles free?
Yes. One place gets you in free: The Broad.
Which family entertainment centers in Los Angeles suit a toddler?
10 of them list an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.
How did Mini Navigators choose these family entertainment centers?
We list every one we have within 90 miles of the center of Los Angeles. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. Where a venue publishes an adult price it is on the listing, and where it does not we have left it out rather than assume.
Do I need to book ahead?
Usually not for open play, but several venues cap capacity at weekends and during school holidays, and some close open play entirely for private events. Where a venue has its own booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Grip socks, a water bottle, a change of clothes for anyone under four, and a plan for leaving before the meltdown rather than after it.
What else is there to do with kids in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles has 14 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Los Angeles hub lists all of them.
