The free admission opened doors to the museum\u2019s beautiful 3.5-acre campus, which consists of more than 40 hands-on exhibits, a live animal collection, and a variety of creative play spaces.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cMy goal was to offer some of our community\u2019s most deserving children an opportunity to experience joy, wonder, and something out of the ordinary,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Supervisor Kathryn Barger<\/strong>. \u201cI sponsored this event because I truly believe that children must be exposed to positive play experiences like those offered at Kidspace. Through play, children learn how to navigate the world with confidence, and that in turn helps unlock their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWe are thrilled that Supervisor Barger chose Kidspace to hold such a joyous event,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Lisa Clements, Kidspace Children\u2019s Museum Chief Executive Officer<\/strong>. \u201cWe share a commitment to ensuring that every child has the opportunity for the social, emotional, and physical benefits of play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The joy and excitement felt by the children who attended was evident as they enjoyed unique play areas that encouraged their full immersion into Kidspace\u2019s exhibits. Physics Forest, Muddy Boot Farm, and the all-new Ramps &amp; Rollers exhibit proved to be amongst the most popular. Seasonal activities were also enjoyed including a Halloween Parade and pumpkin decorating. A local favorite ice cream shop \u2013 Fosselman\u2019s Ice Cream Company \u2013 was also on hand distributing treats to top off the youths\u2019 day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles, CA (October 21, 2022)&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=53691"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53692,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53691\/revisions\/53692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=53691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=53691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=53691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
