Summer in Los Angeles has a way of turning ordinary weekends into core-memory material. It’s the kind filled with music drifting through warm evening air, water splashes echoing across a playground, sticky snack fingers, and the freedom to just run, play, and be little. This season, Kidspace Children’s Museum is giving families exactly those kinds of moments with two signature experiences designed to bring everyone together: Kidspace Campout and the Kidspace Sunset Music Series. From imaginative outdoor adventures to lively evening concerts under the stars, these events turn an ordinary family outing into the kind of summer memory that sticks long after the season ends.
Your Family’s Summer Happy Place
Running all summer long, Kidspace Campout transforms the museum into a playful outdoor adventure inspired by the best parts of classic summer traditions. Think campfire sing-alongs, splash zones, imaginative play, and the kind of carefree fun that makes kids forget screens even exist. (“Mom, five more minutes!” incoming.)
Families can pedal trikes through a miniature Golden Gate Bridge and kid-sized car wash, cool off with water play, and gather for interactive performances around a whimsical campfire in the Stone Hollow Amphitheater. Everywhere you turn, there’s something designed to spark curiosity and connection—from nature-inspired sensory activities to cooperative games and hands-on art experiences.
What makes Campout especially great for families with younger kids is how intentionally it’s built around playing together. This isn’t a drop-the-kids-off kind of experience. Instead, caregivers jump in too—singing songs, splashing through water features, and helping build those little moments kids talk about long after summer ends.
It’s a refreshing change in a world where everyone’s always rushing somewhere, encouraging families to slow down and simply play.
Stay for the Sunset
As the sun goes down, Kidspace keeps the summer energy going with the Kidspace Sunset Music Series—a lively outdoor concert experience that feels equal parts dance party and neighborhood block party.
Families can spread out under the evening sky while enjoying live performances celebrating music and traditions from around the world. Expect upbeat rhythms, kid-friendly dancing, food trucks, and a welcoming atmosphere where toddlers twirl, parents relax, and everyone leaves a little happier than they arrived.
The series creates one of those rare family outings that genuinely works for all ages. Little kids can move freely and explore, while adults actually enjoy the music instead of just surviving the outing with snacks and emergency wipes in hand. That’s parenting gold right there.
Leave Feeling More Connected
Whether your family is splashing through Campout adventures by day or dancing together at sunset concerts by night, Kidspace Children’s Museum leaves everyone feeling a little lighter, more energized, inspired, and genuinely connected. It lets families share experiences side by side instead of staring at separate screens. And when the sun goes down and the music starts, that feeling grows even bigger—bringing the community together through dance, culture, celebration, and the simple joy of a warm summer evening spent together outdoors.
Because sometimes the best summer plans aren’t the biggest vacations or the most elaborate itineraries. They’re the ones filled with laughter, movement, music, messy hands, and the feeling that for a few hours, everybody was fully present.
