June 25th—here's where I'm taking my kids this week

Our free weekly email keeps you in the loop of local kid-friendly events and things to do 🤝

*These aren’t ALL the events happening this week in and around LA, just the best (IMO). We keep it short and curated—follow on IG + TT for more!

In Partnership with CaliExpress by Flippy

Got a robot-obsessed little one? This new quick service restaurant pop-up in Pasadena might just be the place! CaliExpress By Flippy features easy menu items that kids love like burgers, chicken sandwiches and waffle fries; prepared by humans and cooked by robots! No really.

Flippy is a summer destination for families who love a bit of tech magic with their meal. Watch robot arms handle the fryer all on their own and enjoy perfectly cooked french fries each time. Bonus points for robot arms keeping kids entertained while you wait for food! Arguably the best part.

Kids can even enjoy an interactive 1.5 hour tour of the nearby Miso Robotics laboratory! Only available for parties or large groups. Which brings us to our next question:
