We have been to JPL OPEN HOUSE for many years and have been on JPL guided tours of the control mission room. But we have never been to a JPL event outside of JPL and so we look forward to hearing what we might expect and who would be presenting this event.
If this is your first time to a Chautauqua event at Temescal Canyon Parkway, it is possible to come and park free at least half an hour prior to presentation time just beyond the Camp Store near the Woodland Hall. Usually coffee/tea will be served with some cookies ... but bring your own hot chocolate pouches for your kids for a treat. If you are coming here for the first time, come earlier and park free on Sunset Blvd or pay for parking inside the park. Take a short walk around the park before the event ... walk to the creek and see if you can hear the frogs or see the birds ...or even a deer or two at dusk :) If you have more time, take the hike up to the waterfalls. It is steep in some places, but completely doable for kids. I remember bringing my children up to the waterfalls when they were little around 2 and 4, and their nature mindfulness allowed us to enjoy what I could do in 45 minutes on a fast pace into a four-hour nature walk :)
Please note that the Chautauqua program here attract many adults, so please make sure your child can sit quietly for the program presentation. No running around permitted :)
