Where to Enjoy Nature With Kids in Los Angeles

By Debi Huang 
Disneyland and Hollywood aren't the only places to take kids when visiting Los Angeles. This sprawling metropolis is full of wonderful outdoor places to play, many of them far less crowded than their more popular counterparts. Here are just a few of my favorite spots to enjoy nature with kids in Los Angeles.

Newfoundland, nature is never far away


Newfoundland -- Just the name makes me think of Vikings, salt and wind. The Vikings settled in Newfoundland or ‘Vinland’ as they called it in 1001. In 1960 Helge Ingestad and Anne Stine Ingestad discovered the first Norse Village in North America. In 1978 L’anse aux Meadows was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO.

When I started to plan our trip, going to L’anse aux Meadows was naturally on the top my ‘to do list’. But a quick look at the map made us change our mind. With only a one-week mini-vacation, we felt we had too little time. Instead we chose to spend our trip in St. Johns, Trinty Peninsula and Twillingate.

Living on a houseboat

Nature is everywhere; you just have to embrace it

In our outdoor playgroup in Toronto, we explore urban nature. I was lucky to get to know Christie, and her two kids. Even though Christie lives in very urban Amsterdam, she probably lives more in touch with nature than most because she lives on a houseboat in the city. For me this illustrates how close nature can be wherever we are, even in a big urban environment.
This is the beauty with fresh air living. Nature is everywhere; you just have to embrace it.

My Florida


By Kari Svenneby

Like many Notherners our family likes to go down south for some extra sun in the winter and Florida is where we go for warmth on the beach and spend time on the water and visit our family.
 The last trip we made we swam with the manatees, kayaked on the fourth largest fresh water spring in the world and enjoyed going to the voted “Best Beach in the USA”.
