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

A full-service downtown hotel with an outdoor pool and cribs on offer, a short walk from the Convention Center and Playhouse Village.

A newer in-town park with an accessible rubberized playground, restrooms with changing tables and a dog area if the dog is coming too.

An Old Pasadena arcade packed with playable 80s and 90s machines, where kids meet the games their parents grew up on.
