Summer Activities Around LA
Summer Break Is Here!
We hope everyone made it through their final exams and are now enjoying their summer break! While summer is certainly a time for relaxing and recharging, you can also find fun activities to keep you entertained, active, and even learning during your months off from school!
1. Visit Local Museums
Museums are a great way to spend a couple of hours learning and exploring while staying cool inside. Plus, most museums offer a discount if you present a valid student ID, so you don’t have to pay full price.
- If you’re interested in art, check out the Getty Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or the Broad.
- More of a science and history buff? The California Science Center and Natural History Museum are great. Or visit the Griffith Observatory!
- Perhaps you prefer spending time outside. In that case, the Descanso Gardens and the Huntington Library are a must.
- For unique museum experiences, consider the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, or the Petersen Automotive Museum.
2. Attend a Live Music Event
There’s no shortage of live music and entertainment in Los Angeles, but you can’t go wrong with an evening at the Hollywood Bowl or a performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. If you’re looking for more affordable or even free options, check out events hosted by your local Parks and Recreation Department, like the South Pasadena Concerts in the Park series.
3. Learn a New Language
Whatever age you are, learning a new language can be a fun, rewarding experience. Whether you’re learning basic conversational skills before a trip abroad or you want to become fluent in a second language, Hodis Learning & Music educators can help make you achieve your goals. Check out what languages we offer here!
4. Experience a Movie Night
Many cities have movie nights in the park throughout the summer months. Pack up blankets, chairs, and some snacks and watch a movie under the stars! Check out your city’s website to see what upcoming events they are hosting.
5. Learn a New Instrument
Feeling inspired after a night of great music at the Hollywood Bowl? Hodis Learning & Music has educators that teach a wide range of instruments including drums, piano, guitar, trumpet, bass, trombone, violin and more! Educators can teach any skill level, so don’t worry about past experience and instead get ready to jam out this summer!
