There's no shortage of fun to be had in Los Angeles: read on for three suggestions of family-friendly activities that will leave some room in the budget for extra-big ice cream cones all around!

1. All aboard! The Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum was created by railroad enthusiasts for railroad enthusiasts...and really, who doesn't love trains? Bring the family over on Sundays between 11 and 3 p.m. for a ride on their 7 1/2 gauge model trains (free with a suggested $3 donation). There's lots more to see on the grounds, too - don't forget your little one's conductor's hat.
2. Surely you'll be swinging through Hollywood: why not turn the obligatory stroll down the Walk of Fame into a family scavenger hunt? Make a list of Stars (including plenty the kids will have heard of, like Dr. Seuss, Donald Duck, Snow White...), break into teams, and see who can check off all the names first. Bonus points if you take a goofy picture at each Star on your list!
3. Here's a surprising fact that might make certain little ears perk up: the most famous Ice Age excavation site in the world is located right in L.A. - excavators have been at work there since 1913! Bring your explorers to The Page Museum and La Brea Tar Pits, where you can check out over one million fossils from 650 species (!), take a tour of fossils still trapped in tar, and even see real-life excavators at work. Admission is $5 / $12 for children / adults.
