If he’s into trains you can go to Travel Town train museum. The zoo is close by as well.

Travel town is a great and affordable option.

Santa Monica Pier and the swings on the beach, Santa Monica Place has Cayton Children’s Museum, Echo Park lake has swan boats you can paddle around in, the aquarium in Long Beach, California Science Center and the Natural History Museum, Venice Beach is fun to people watch at the skate park, play on playgrounds and sand on the walk between Venice and Santa Monica, bike the beach trail, hike in the mountains, Dave and Busters in culver area

Thank you so much for all those recs! Def have some options to look into.

Santa monica pier has a little amusement park, appropriate for his age

You’re welcome, its called the pacific pier

Thursday during the school year is an amazing time to go to Knott's Berry Farm. You'll feel like you have a whole amusement park to yourselves with so much incredible stuff to see (besides the rides). Universal Studios is closer of course and pretty magical for a 5 year old. Cheaper? Griffith Observatory, California Science Center (great IMAX), and even a hike at Temescal Canyon.

Where are coming from? If you are not from a beach town all these recs in Santa Monica are great. Even driving up PCH into Malibu is a great day trip. Lunch on the Malibu Pier or Paradise Cove is awesome.

Of course Disney is awesome but another 45 mins of driving.

I love my SO but get unsure....they just went on a friends trip and came back and randomly said going on another one in two weeks. I said I wanted to spend time together so they came back next morning and said let's go away just us instead, which is awesome and I am happy BUT is it a red flag? They used to always be all about spending time together and now seems like I have to remind them to put us first in the past month. We both work hard and have kids so life is more complicated. Vent over.
