Here are some great free things to do in Los Angeles with the Kids:

The walls are covered in bright pictures and there are sure to be some that really appeal to your children’s imagination and catch their eye. You’ll find the so-named Mural Mile within the Pacoima neighbourhood. There are several other spots around the city too where yu can enjoy some beautiful and free public art.

Even though you will probably be tempted to buy some of the many fantastic treats, a wander around the interesting and lively market won’t cost a single cent unless you want it to. You and your children can see a wide array of goods for sale and soak up the character and atmosphere of this beloved local marketplace.
Echo Park Lake
Set within a pretty park, the lake is a nice place to enjoy the views and have a delicious home-made picnic. Get some fresh air as you dine al fresco and let the kids run and play alongside the water.
Beaches
Head to some of LA’s lovely public beaches for a fabulous family day out. With a stretching sandy coastline there are certainly plenty of beaches to choose between, each one offering a different character and vibe. Sunbathe, make sandcastles, play, swim, and have a go at surfing … there are so many different ways to enjoy the beaches in the warm sunshine! There are also lots of nice places to enjoy scenic coastal walk, a popular evening activity after the temperature has cooled off a bit.
Korean Friendship Bell
Next to the seaside, the Korean Friendship Bell lets you see a little bit of a different culture. An interesting attraction, it is a nice place to get some great pictures. Housed within a small colourful pagoda, you’ll find the bell in San Pedro.
Chandelier Tree
Go to the Silver Lake neighbourhood in the evening and see this interesting tree illuminated in all its glory. A popular local attraction, it is sure to make the kids’ eyes light right up!
Make sure that you don’t miss the free or discounted admission periods at many of the museums to cut costs even further. You could also look into the different money saving passes that are available and check ticket prices online, as a lot of places offer discounts for online booking.
