Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Pasadena/Old Town

A rubberized playground with separate toddler and big-kid sections, walking distance from Old Pasadena's toy stores and ice cream.

Year-round public skating and lessons for wobbly first-timers, right by the Convention Center.

A calm, compact museum of Asian and Pacific art where second Sundays bring free workshops and storytimes for kids.

Downtown rooms with a sofa-bed corner for the kids, a free hot breakfast and a pool, right at The Paseo.

A cozy indoor museum made for the 0-to-6 crowd, with play kitchens, costumes and rotating themed zones.
