Whether we're looking at a summer weekend, a holiday weekend, or just the long awaited end to one of those weeks, LA families are luckily to have all sorts of terrain to get away to on very little notice. From day trips from Los Angeles to weekend (or longer) getaways, there's no outing that's not easy from LA!

Here's why we love LA: a trip to the desert, beach, mountains, or wine country are all easy for the day or longer! Discover our favorite day trips and weekend (or longer) getaways from LA in our Weekend and Day Trip Guide for LA Families.
