Weekday Event Picks for LA Kids: Science, Superheroes, Happy BDAY MDR! April 6-10
Passover continues this week, and many of us are still out of school. The Discovery Science Center's Bubblefest is ongoing, and a trip to The Cube in Orange County or the new one in Los Angeles is definitely a great spring break outing.
For those interested in marking a mid-century birthday, Marina Del Rey turns 50 this year and celebrates this Friday through Sunday. Opening Day at Dodger Stadium is on Monday; tickets are limited so check before heading to Elysian Park. And it’s the first Tuesday of the month, so you can enjoy a FREE day at the Tar Pits. Read on for our favorite five outings this week, and check out our Event Calendar for even more options.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
1. The Boxtrolls – Monday
This PG rated movie about a heroic young orphan screens for free Monday night at the Santa Monica Public Library. Monday is also the last day to catch the Easter festivities at Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark.

2. Free LEGO – Tuesday
On the first Tuesday of the month, participating LEGO stores offer a free mini model to build and take home while supplies last. Plus, it's free day at three great LA museums: the Natural History Museum, the Page Museum at La Brea Tar Pits, and (after 4pm) Kidspace.

3. Spring Break Science – Wednesday
Why not spend an afternoon at the Santa Monica library? Kids can build a mini launch vehicle from re-purposed materials and launch it with a vertical wind tube. The library's courtyard cafe makes for a great treat stop before or after.
See all Wednesday events.
4. Marvel Universe Live! – Thursday
25 Marvel superheroes (including Wolverine, the Avengers and Spiderman) join forces live on stage as they strive to reassemble the cosmic cube, crushed to pieces by the Mighty Thor. This show is in Ontario; if you'd prefer to see it in LA, there are also May performances in Inglewood.
