We were invited to visit one of the hottest Christmas events in town, and we were so impressed with what we experienced. Imaginarium is a dazzling holiday light show that will leave you spellbound. Miles of twinkling lights illuminate the night, creating a magical atmosphere. The walk-through tunnels are a highlight, transporting you through enchanting scenes. The "Infinity Rooms" are mesmerizing, offering unique photo opportunities. A carnival adds excitement with rides and games for all ages. Ample food vendors ensure you stay fueled for the festivities. Imaginarium is a must-see for families seeking a memorable holiday experience.

We did a half day tour of some spots in downtown LA. Visited Olvera Street, had a nice lunch at Ma Ma Lu's in China Town, then toured the Last Bookstreet on Spring St. Kids had fun checking out some authentic hand-made crafts at Olvera Street and exploring all the fun shops and corners full of history and stories inside The Last Bookstore. There is always something amazing in your local area to check out. Take a walk outside and be surprised!
