XP: Fun things to do with toddler in LA

nic326

we are relatively new to LA and I want ideas on where to take DS to have fun. I SAH so anything the two of us can do together as well as the family would be great! Getting a membership at the zoo looks like a good deal ($80/year). We are considering Disneyland in the next couple of months too. Is the cost of a resident pass worth the money and is the $239 per PERSON? Yikes. Are there any deals or specials that residents know of to take advantage of? TIA!

There's a kid's museum in Pasadena(which we haven't been to yet), the aquarium in Santa Monica, the La Brea Tar Pits and all the museums downtown...

i don't live there, (or anywhere close), but i have family in the area and they talk about the skirball cultural center - there is a great noah's ark exhibit!  they have storytime and other special events, too!

I go to knotts berry farm with DD quite frequently. The passes there are only $60 per person.
