3-Day Los Angeles Trip-Planning Tips

Kids have little patience for history and art unless they’re inclined or are on a field trip with their friends. With their family members, wires short circuit a little faster. As much as LA is about glitzy Hollywood destinations, splashy nightclubs, sprawling beaches and unique cultural hotspots, there are also many kid-friendly attractions for the little ones!

So, where do we begin? Let’s start with putting together a simple, doable, budget-friendly 3-day trip that will keep the kids engaged and adults sane. The secret is in slotting in an activity or two during the day...or night, depending on what you like... into the schedule. You could pencil it in between their naps on the rented charter bus or find a place where there’s something for them to do while YOU explore.

With the all-year amazing weather in Los Angeles, it means ANY TIME of the year is a good time to visit. Avoiding big summer crowds and paying exorbitant prices for admission is possible. So, without further ado, let’s get started with a mind-blowing Day One in LA.

LA Trip Plan for Day One: Whipping Everyone into High Gear

The child in you will smile your way through the door and you can easily spend the entire day going from ride to ride to ride. The lines can be grueling, so, if you’re celebrating a birthday or giving the tickets away as gifts, it pays to get the VIP Pass or Express Pass.

This way, you can indulge in Harry Potter rides and simulations, Flight of the Hippogriff, Fast and Furious, King Kong 360 3D, Kung Fu Panda, The Walking Dead, Despicable Me, Jurassic Park, Transformers, The Simpson and Revenge of The Mummy. Otherwise, there are other fun attractions like The Universal's Animal Actors, WaterWorld, Character Sightings, Silly Swirly Fun Rides, Special Effects Studio, Super Silly Fun Land and The World Famous Studio Tour.

The Exclusive or Limited VIP Experience is for those who would like to start their day off bright and early with a light breakfast. After that, you'd be escorted through popular themed rides, enjoy exclusive park benefits like special seats, savor delicious lunch courtesy of the Universal’s very own executive chefs, and enjoy VIP entry into the park. It’s basically celebrity treatment at the heart of Hollywood. It’s hard to beat.

Make everyone in your family, from kids to adults, happy with your short 3-day trip to Los Angeles with the following tips. 

Universal Studios tips:

• Come early!
• If you can afford it, purchase the VIP Pass
• Sunscreen. Need we say more?
• Hydrate and wear the right footwear
• Get ready to spend the entire day at the park
• Start the day off with the Studio Tour FIRST to get the basic idea of what you can expect
• Bring a change of clothes for the kids. WaterWorld.
• Parking is expensive. So, it encourages groups to pool money together and get their own charter buses for the trip. It will be worth the headache.
