At Claris Health, we believe that family health isn’t just about medical care. It’s also about connection, joy and quality time. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent or caregiver, spending intentional time together strengthens bonds and boosts emotional wellness while reminding us of what matters most.
To help make those moments easier (and budget-friendly!), we’ve gathered a list of free or low-cost family activities across Los Angeles that support togetherness because fun doesn’t have to come with a price tag.
Enjoy a Nature Day at the Park
Where: Griffith Park, Kenneth Hahn, or Echo Park
There’s something healing about being outside. Take a family walk, bring a blanket for a picnic, or enjoy the playground. These spaces offer a chance to breathe, move, and connect — no screens, no stress, just fresh air.
Claris tip: Pack healthy snacks, plenty of water, and sunscreen. Try a gratitude moment where each family member shares something they’re thankful for in nature.
Visit a Local Library Storytime or Craft Event
Where: Los Angeles Public Library branches (check your local calendar)
Libraries are one of LA’s best-kept family secrets and most programs are completely free. From toddler storytime and coloring corners to teen writing workshops, there’s something for every age.
Claris tip: Many libraries also offer free tutoring, language learning tools, and digital resources you can use at home.
Catch a Free Community Concert or Movie Night
Where: Parks, City Halls and Cultural Centers
Throughout the year, many LA neighborhoods host outdoor movie nights, concerts and cultural events. These evenings are perfect for families to unwind together and meet neighbors.
Claris tip: Bring foldable chairs or a picnic blanket, and turn it into a full family night with homemade snacks and a quick photo to remember the moment.
Visit the Claris Mobile Clinic
Where: Check our Mobile Clinic Calendar
Our Mobile Clinic travels across Los Angeles to bring free care and support directly to local families. Stop by for basic health checkups, pregnancy tests, STI screenings and more! All judgment-free and confidential.
Claris tip: Bring a friend or family member who might need care too. Caring for your community starts with showing up together.
Explore Free Museum Days
Where: The Getty, The Broad, California Science Center and LACMA (select days)
Learning doesn’t have to happen in a classroom. Spend the day exploring art, science or history. Many LA museums offer free admission days each month.
Claris tip: Check each museum’s website for details. Plan ahead and pack lunch to save on costs.
Have a Family Picnic & Gratitude Circle
Where: Any local green space or backyard
You don’t always have to go far to make memories. Bring sandwiches, fruit, and a few board games outside. Ask everyone to share a highlight of their week or something they’re proud of.
Claris tip: Make it a monthly family tradition. These small, consistent moments build lasting connection and emotional wellness.
Volunteer Together
Where: Local food banks, clothing drives or Claris events
Serving together teaches kids empathy and gratitude. Volunteering as a family strengthens relationships while giving back to the community.
Claris tip: Sign up for Claris volunteer opportunities or learn how to get involved here.
At Claris Health, we know that healthy families thrive on connection, not perfection. Taking time to laugh, explore and rest together creates memories that support emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
Whether you’re meeting our team at the Mobile Clinic, attending an event or simply reading this at home, know that we’re here for your family every step of the way.
Here’s to more moments of joy, community and care together.
