Weekday Event Picks for LA Kids: Egg Hunts, Camp, & Cinderella, March 23-27

3/23/15 - By Jacqueline Stansbury

Nothing gets me thinking about summer like the approach of spring break. With a little help from Mommy Poppins, a week or two can fly by. There is always so much to do in our fair city, and sometimes it’s nice to have kids home to take advantage of the bounty of life in Los Angeles. That said, sometimes it's nice to have spring break camp.

Whether you're doing a staycation, camp, or a combination of the two, this week holds plenty of options. If Cinderella, the movie, was a hit with your family, you may want to catch the musical at the Ahmanson. Malibu has Easter covered for all ages with daytime activities for the kids and a glow-in-the dark egg hunt at night for teens. Read on for more ways to enjoy the week.

5. Easter in Malibu – Friday
Start the day with an Easter Hoppening, which includes crafts, an egg hunt, and, of course, an audience with the Easter Bunny. When the little ones have wrapped up, it’s time for a teen appropriate glow-in-the dark egg hunt.
