What are some fun activities for cognitive development?

Fun activities to do with 9yr old and 11 yr old girls in Southern California besides theme parks?

  • I just located my two sisters after having been separated for 7 years. I hope to have them visit for a week and am trying to plan fun things to do every day. I'm all for all the basic theme parks, zoos, medieval times, discovery centers, etc. but I'm more looking for fun activities, like Color Me Mine clay painting, mani & pedi's, bowling, stuff like that. I don't have kids so I can't think of anything else that would be good fun for them! They live in a low-populated area in Central Cali so even the mall is great for them to get out to, but I would like some more actual activities we can do together. I'm 24 and live in LA county/Orange County... they will be hanging out with me and their other sister's and brother, ages 18, 20, & 26. Thanks in advance for your ideas!!

    How about museums? There are so many good ones: the Getty, L.A. County Museum of Art (LACMA), La Brea Tar Pits, Natural History Museum, California Science Center...even silly ones like the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in Hollywood. Also in Hollywood you can look at the stars on Hollywood Blvd. -- the girls might like finding their favorite musicians or actors there. You can go to Mann's Chinese Theatre and put your hands in the handprints there too! The El Capitan Theatre (right across the street from Mann's) shows newly released Disney movies in a really fun setting. I'll provide some links for you below. Have fun!

There should be plenty of museums and zoo's in the LA area. I love the Wild Animal Park and Zoo though in San Diego. I go there almost every weekend...plus theres Balboa Park right there and that place has plenty of fun things to do for kids of all ages.

Try the beach... we go down to visit my in-laws near San Diego every year and it's not the zoo or Legoland my kids look forward to, it's sandcastles and boogie boarding.

Makeover Day! you could do nails and then get makeup and hair styled!! OH oh!! and go visit the local humane society... you can go whenever you want and play with and walk all the puppies and kitties.
