Little Fish Tales by the Sea at Point Vicente

Little Fish Tales by the Sea is a free story hour for small children on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and it is an easy pick when you are hunting for things to do with kids LA families can enjoy without a ticket. The October session lands on Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center.

When: Thursday, October 15, 2026, 10:30 to 11:30 AM Where: Point Vicente Interpretive Center, Rancho Palos Verdes Price: Free Ages: 2 to 5 (all ages welcome)

What to expect

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the Palos Verdes Library District team up to run the program. Parents and children sit down together for stories, songs and a simple craft. The session is built for ages 2 to 5, but the organizers say all ages are welcome, so an older sibling can tag along and a baby in a carrier is fine too.

There is no registration. You show up, find a spot, and join in. That keeps the morning loose, which suits the toddler crowd: if someone gets restless halfway through a song, nobody minds a short walk around the room.

A monthly habit

The program repeats every third Thursday of the month at 10:30 AM, so if you miss October you can plan around the next one. A regular, free routine like this is the kind of thing that makes a list of kids activities LA parents actually come back to, since it asks for no booking, no fee and very little prep.

Getting there and making a morning of it

The Point Vicente Interpretive Center sits on the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes, a drive from most of the South Bay. The listing does not publish a street address, so check the city's official page or your map app for directions before you leave, and give yourself extra time if you are coming from farther inland. Morning traffic on the peninsula can be slow.

Story time runs an hour, which leaves plenty of day afterward. The center is known for its coastal setting, so bring a layer, since the ocean breeze can be cool even when the inland forecast is warm. Pack water and a snack for the little ones, and a change of clothes is never a bad idea after craft time.

Good to know

Details come from the listing on Local Anchor, which relays the city's announcement. Programs run by the city and library district can change, so confirm the date and time with the organizers shortly before you go.
