Here is information on the plethora of field trip opportunities in Southern California. Our family does a lot of field trips and if it's worth the drive, we'll post it here! A couple of other sites with links to events: Festivals in SoCal: http://thedeltacs.com/2009/09/brave-the-crowd-get-thee-to-a-festival/ Website and newsletter with tons of SoCal activities: http://kidsguidemagazine.com/ *Disclaimer: Please contact the location regarding hours, admission price and any free days as these things may change without my knowledge.
