4worldlovers: Join us for Kidspace Campout, our school’s-out celebration of the best of summer, nature, and exploration, right here in Pasadena, and sized just right for kids and families to share.

Cool off, relax, and meet new animal friends in the burbling waters of Arroyo Pequeño, Kidspace’s wildest place to be in 2023. Splash about, squish some mud, hop with the frogs, join a skunk in her den. In Arroyo Pequeño, getting wet is only part of the fun.

Climb inside Los Trompos (The Spinning Tops) for a bright, colorful, whirling ride or work together to get them spinning for new friends. Our new Los Trompos installation is art that’s just made for play, and it’s premiering in Los Angeles only at Kidspace.


As a member, you’ll receive free admission every time your family visits. Plus, you’ll have access to discounts, pre-sale events, and special experiences created just for member families!

Kidspace admission makes the perfect gift for family, friends, and neighbors. When you give Kidspace admission to a child, you’re sharing a day of exploration, imagination, and play at Kidspace’s 3.5-acre outdoor campus.
