SOCAL OUTINGS | Van Nuys Airport Observation Area

One of the best things about having mommy friends is they bring you on new adventures and take you places you've never been before.  We had a play date at the Van Nuys Airport Observation Area during the holiday staycation.  Ten minutes from our home and how have we never been here?? 

There's a play area small enough to contain pint size kids and big enough to bring bikes/scooters/big wheels to ride around.

Listen to the loud speaker playing air traffic control information.  Kids can then watch the planes take off and land while imagining themselves doing the same thing on their own mini painted runway:

Cut out boards make for great photo ops!

Picnic tables and benches are available to have lunch and snacks.  I was too busy with Mommy Talk to take those pictures! Thanks Stacy and Melissa for a beautiful afternoon!!
