The Garland

A small neighborhood playground with a space theme, on a quiet stretch away from the Ventura Blvd crowds.

A shaded play area with walking paths and open lawn, a good pick when the Valley heat kicks in.

A sensory gym with a zip line, trampoline and crafts room, built to welcome kids of all abilities.

One block from the park gates, with early admission perks that matter when little legs get tired.

Old-school red-sauce Italian where the waiters sing show tunes between the pizza and the lasagna.

The big one: a working studio tour plus Minions, Super Nintendo World and Hogwarts. Plan for a full day.
