Fun Family Events This Weekend

Looking for what to do with the kiddos this weekend?  Now that things are starting to open out, we have more options!  A few of these activities are this weekend only, but most of them are available any weekend, or even during the week.  Remember to check out the LB Home Living website each week for more kids activities, events, and tips, brought to you by Long Beach Home + Living and ExploreLongBeach !


PCH Movies and Moonlight

When: Friday, March 19th at 6pm
Where: 2nd and PCH

Grab a blanket and some snacks, and head to PCH and 2nd this Friday for their showing of Tangled!  The show begins at 6 pm, is free to all, and self-seating is available on a first come, first serve basis.  Seating is also limited due to social distancing practices, so be sure to get there early.  There will be propane heaters, but the nights can get cool so you’ll still want to bundle up.

This is one of my fav outings with the kids.  Now that parks are open, this farmer’s market can be a half day event for the whole family.  Head to the farmer’s market to pick up some fruits, veggies, and all of your favorite artisan goods.  You can also buy prepared foods and have lunch there at the tables, or set out a blanket and eat on the grass.  After, let the kids burn some energy by running around the playground there.  Don’t forget masks!

Aquarium of the Pacific

When: Daily
Where: 100 Aquarium Way

The aquarium is fully open!  As much as we enjoyed visiting the outside area, we’re excited to head inside now too.  The aquarium is one of our favorite things to do, and because we’re members, it’s also a very affordable outing.  If you aren’t a member, a membership is something I highly recommend purchasing.  It’s only $159 for the entire year for 2 parents and all children under 17 living in the same household, so less than the price of 2 visits for a family of 4.  There are a lot of animals to see, both inside and out.  The touch tanks are a lot of fun, and they have hand sanitizer and hand washing stations throughout the aquarium. They also have food and drinks for sale, and adult beverages for those who are of age.  Right now, advanced reservations are required.
