Summer Activities
The Children’s Museum
We’re always looking for new ways to entertain the kids during the long, summer months. For the best type of boredom buster, visit The Children’s Museum at La Habra . This kid-oriented museum offers several exhibits, including a nature walk, a science station, a family art center, and a 1942 caboose, which kids can explore. Kids of all ages will enjoy the activities provided at each exhibit.
Doors open at 10 a.m., Tuesday through Friday, and close at 4 p.m. Weekend hours vary. Admission price is $12 per person (two years and older). Military and seniors are discounted. The Children’s Museum is located at 301 S. Euclid Street in La Habra.
La Habra Splash Pads
Summer is hot, hot, hot! Perfect for cooling off on those scorching afternoons are the La Habra Splash Pads . Beat the heat with the cooling fountains and splash zones located in two different areas in the city.
La Habra offers a location at Oeste Park (2300 W. Lambert Road) and one at Brio Park (300 S. Euclid Street). The Brio splash pad offers a charming train theme, while the Oeste splash pad follows a rocket ship design. Explore both over the course of the summer. Kids will love this activity, but note that children under the age of 12 require supervision from someone 14 or older.
Make sure to bring a towel, extra water, and plenty of sunscreen. Water shoes are recommended.
