Activities for Kids in Lake Forest

My wife has been planning our Summer activities for our 5 year old granddaughter and she gave me a brief summary of what she had on the schedule. I noticed that we were going to Laguna Niguel, Irvine, and Mission Viejo for some of our activities and I asked why we couldn’t keep the money in Lake Forest. She said she tried, but wasn’t able to find everything she needed in Lake Forest. So I did a little homework and came up with this list of Lake Forest businesses keyed to children’s activities.

I don’t claim to know anything about any of these businesses and if you’re interested you should do your due diligence (e.g., BBB, Yelp) in checking them out before you use them. I have indicated which of these businesses belong to the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce.

BTW – if you provide activities for children and want to be included in an updated version of this list, please e-mail me at GardnerforCouncil@gmail.com.
