Here are a few suggestions:

1) Griffith Park: So many things to do here! Shane's Inspiration - an amazing playground for all ages, great hiking trails, pony rides, train rides, zoo, observatory and merry-go-round. Plus, it's free and fun for all ages!

2) Play: describes itself as a "hangout for families with young kids." It offers Music Together® classes, art classes, healthy snacks, and a community area.
