The Grove (Los Angeles)


The Grove:
When living in or visiting Los Angeles (LA), you must try The Grove shopping center. It has fun for all the family.
Take a trip on the free open top tram (which our three year old loved) and you will find  major fashion retailers such as Zara, Topshop/Topman, Banana Republic, and lots of children shops for example, Janie and Jack, American Doll to name but a few.
Fun on the tram
On our visit today we saw Dragons that were made up of thousands of medicine bottles, however these displays change depending on the time of year and festival being celebrated.
The Grove has an amazing entertainment schedule that covers street entertainment and music, weekly kids clubs, child friendly movie screenings and many more. Depending on what time/day you visit, you could witness TV filming and  spot a few celebrities (we have seen quite a few here)

At the far end of the Grove you will find The Farmers Market which was established in 1934. The fresh produce, smells and food stalls are a delight to your senses. Our daughter Isabella loves leading us through the maze of pathways and alcoves, however you need to keep a close eye on your child as it could be easy to lose them here... it can get quite busy. We sometimes spend quite a long time in here, sampling the foods, looking at all the different types of fruit and vegetables etc.
