Visiting Rodeo Drive With Kids

A family-friendly plan for Rodeo Drive: parks, the farmers' market, library storytimes, gelato stops and stroller tips.

Rodeo Drive is surprisingly easy with children: the sidewalks are wide and flat, there are parks at the north end, and treats are never far away.

A family-friendly plan

  1. Park in a city structure with free first hours. See where to park.
  2. Walk north from Two Rodeo, where kids love the fountain and the Spanish Steps.
  3. Play in Beverly Gardens Park along Santa Monica Boulevard, home of the Beverly Hills sign and lily pond.
  4. Grab a treat at one of the cafes and dessert spots listed below.

Weekend mornings

The Beverly Hills Farmers' Market runs on Sunday mornings on the 9300 block of Civic Center Drive, and the Beverly Hills Public Library hosts storytimes during the week. Check the events calendar for dates.

Tips

  • Strollers fit easily on the sidewalks; some smaller boutiques have tight entrances.
  • Weekday mornings are the calmest time to visit.
  • Remember sun protection: Beverly Hills is sunny most of the year.
