As the saying goes, there is only one way to ensure your kids have the best time: spend it at home. And, while we’re on the subject of parental responsibilities, it’s never been more imperative than today for parents to take care of their kids. For starters, let’s not kid ourselves – Los Angeles has some of the most beautiful natural beauty in the world. However, parents need to be able to leave their homes and go for long periods of time without having to worry about what’s going on with their child. That being said, we understand why many parents choose to be Parents Of The Year instead – they not only have a lot of great advice and resources available to them but also get credit for being able to leave their kids with someone that they trust completely! Thus, here are our top Ten Best Things To Do In Los Angeles With Kids.

1. Play Games With Your Kids

If your child is between the ages of 11 and 15, you need to start introducing them to games. It’s a great way to connect these two years and helps them understand the nuances of the online gaming industry. Plus, you’re likely to meet some interesting people while doing so. Why not give them an event horizon to look forward to together?

## 2. Go Out On A Date

We know exactly how this one goes down, and it’s one of the top Ten Best Things To Do In Los Angeles With Kids. You and your child go on a date. You go to the movies, have dinner, do some dates in general – whatever you want. When your child is old enough to get married, you get married. When your child is old enough to have kids, you have kids. Now, this is top ten in our book – and we’re not just saying that because we think it’s an amazing parenting method. Give your kids a full time job so they can have their own career and have a family of their own. You have their full approval, and they’re able to have an impact on the world around them. So, yes, go out on a date.

## 3. Do Something Different

How about a trip to a park, a museum, or a zoo? Sure, you could always take them to the zoo, but there are better ways to spend your day. Why not try something different? We love going to The Museum of Prostitution in Downtown, where there’s even a free tour of the showroom. We love going to the Fisherman’s Wharf, where we can enjoy some lunch and take in the views while we’re at it. We’re also a big fan of going to the zoo, because you get the chance to watch all the animals and see how they’re made. So, yes, do something different.

## 4. Walk It Out

Let’s be honest, walking your kids is a really crucial parenting activity. And yet, we get a lot of people who don’t do this, or don’t do it well, and end up getting really upset and frustrated when they have to take them to the doctor for a medical condition. You have to take your child to the doctor on a regular schedule, and not just when they’re sick – you have to take them on a regular schedule and take them to the doctor when they’re in need of him/her help. It’s an important part of parenting, and yet, we still see a lot of parents who don’t do it well. What makes this even more crucial is that kids nowadays have good medical records, and so, you don’t have to take them to the doctor when they have broken bones, or shrapnel in their heads, or something equally serious like that. And, you can be home with your child while they’re at the doctor’s office. So, yes, walk it out.

## 5. Read A Book

We get that reading books is a selfish thing to do, and we get that reading is an important part of parenting, but when you’re that in your 30s and you have no idea what to do with your life, you can’t really say no to reading – we’re pretty sure we’ve written a book that we’ve pretty much finished. So, we’re giving you five books to choose from, as part of our Ten Best Things To Do In Los Angeles With Kids guide. We promise that they’re not all bad, and you can probably get some great value out of them.

## 6. Make inhabited space their own

We know this one is super obvious, but still, we love it when kids have their own space to talk and play. You have the chance to set up a virtual play space for your child. Or to take them to an amusement park if you have the kids and have them run around and play as much as possible. You have the chance to pick up the phone and call your kids whenever you need them, and they can answer the phone when you don’t want them to. You have the opportunity to spend time with your child whenever you want. And you can spend time with your friends if you want to. So yes  make your space your own.

## 7. Learn Something New

As we’ve covered, technology has made it possible for parents to leave their mark on the world, and it’s all thanks to the internet. It’s also made it possible for people to learn new things, and it’s given us the opportunity to discover new skills and ways of learning.
