The Grove
The Grove can be called nothing less than a little Christmas Wonderland. Beautifully decorated with Santa and reindeer flying about the musical fountain here, this place looks magical for the little kids running about to see their favourite Santa Claus. The kids also get to meet their Santa when they attend the Christmas Workshop.
The weekends are magical yet crowded, so one feels it is better to visit during the weekdays but still they regret to have missed the weekend fun though.
Hollywood Christmas Parade
The parade here during the weekends is a must-watch. This activity marks the beginning of the Holiday Season. There are floats, celebrities, and more rides during the Hollywood Parade.
The parade continues to a 3.5-mile which is approx. 5.6 km route that goes from Hollywood Boulevard, through the back along Sunset Boulevard, which also has got various celebrities. And as per the tradition, Santa Claus appears at the end.
LA Zoo Lights/ Animals Aglow
This is one of the best attractions for kids, who would enjoy seeing their favourite animals glow up in the dark especially when it is the evenings. It takes place in one of the areas of the Zoo, and worth a walk watching all these beautiful animals, active to entertain their guests with a boost of energy.
We can see many animals during the day as well as in the evenings. The animals who take rest and sleep during the day can be seen as very active at the night.
Descanso Gardens
A beautiful 150-acre of botanical garden which is in Los Angeles is a mixture of streams, ponds, and lawns. These enchanted gardens are sure to bring you in the Christmas spirit and the garden is decorated with multiple lights and themes.
The music playing gives an altogether different kind of enthusiasm.
La Arboretum, the Lightscape
This is a wonderful and one of the best-illuminated paths which can take you through one of the most brightest and illuminating tunnels, then there are the colourful fountains, and the best of the creative light displays. Get a fun experience you are sure to enjoy with every one of all ages.
