Older siblings can play air-hockey, race through an obstacle course, or catch a flick in the movie lounge.
6. $32.50 Ticket to see “South Pacific“ @ Cal State Long, Long Beach – With its hothouse emotions and lush melodies, this Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning musical has melted the hearts of audiences for over 60 years.
