Just 13 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, Arcadia has plenty to offer in the way of family-friendly activities. Nurture your green thumb at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens, become one with nature at Wilderness Park, or hone in on your child’s artistic prowess at the Creative World Art Center.

The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens offers 127 acres of beautiful paths, plants, and trees from all over the world.
