The City of La Habra is well known for its famous Children's Museum. I've written about it several times myself, it's such a fun place. And now, the newest exhibit spotlighting every day heroes is no exception.
Pint size visitors have the opportunity to get up close and try-on costumes of fire fighters and police officers to name a few. The objective of this exhibit is for the kids to experience first hand the merits of being a public servant, learning the values of providing to others.
This hands-on exhibit has transformed this gallery into a mini-city with kiddie police cars and to "drive" around town.
This special exhibit just opened and runs through June 8th. This is one you won't want to miss. Take some time to spend with your kids or grandkids; you will be glad you did. By the way, this place is filled with fun "hands-on" exhibits in each section of the gallery.
See more on the La Habra Children's Museum here; it's based on a prior visit with my own grandkids. Kyle and Katie are in pictured in costume on the stage in one of the exhibit.

La Mirada is a wonderful community known for many things including nice homes on beautiful tree-lined streets. It's been one of my favorites since very early in my real estate career. The city is also know for Biola College and the famous La Mirada Theater. The newest attraction just opened, "SPLASH" the acquatics park, this is an amazing place you have to see for yourself! What fun, it's located on 18 acres of the La Mirada Regional Park. Personally, I'm a huge fan of parks, and I think La Mirada Regional is one of the best in Southern California, best of all, it's free of charge.
