Din Tai Fung

Hot pot where kids pick what goes in the pot, with a sauce bar, snacks while you wait and the famous noodle-pulling dance as the floor show.

Watch thoroughbreds race against a San Gabriel Mountains backdrop, with pony rides, jumpers, face painting and carnival games in the infield on Family Fun Zone days.

127 acres of gardens where peacocks wander right past your kids. Programs for kids, nature camps and plenty of flat paths to explore.

Juicy pork dumplings, honey walnut shrimp and green onion pancakes at easy prices, served fast at big tables that fit the whole crew.

Several play areas spread across a big, grassy county park, with a splash pad and a seasonal pool when it's hot. Mature trees keep the picnic shelters shady.
