Winter is coming soon and here are some activities to do with your friends or family.

ICE at Santa Monica is a very popular spot where many teens from Venice go to ice skate. Ice skating is very fun because you can take your friends. The admission price is a little pricey at $15, but it’s definitely worth it because you can spend the whole day at the rink.

Going to the snow in Big Bear is something you can do with your family and you can even go stay in a cabin for a few days to enjoy the snow at its fullest. There you can snowboard, have a snow fight, or even build a snowman! Visit the Mammoth Lake resorts for a weekend full of snow adventures.

If you’re not a big fan of outdoor activities and don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can just stay home and maybe invite some friends over to watch movies and make some hot chocolate and just enjoy your night indoors for free.

Christmas is coming up so you can go to the mall to buy your family and friends gifts. You can spend your whole day there, eat and have a good time. Even if you don’t plan on buying anything, the mall is a great place to go to just walk around and look at things. Some malls like in The grove and Westfield Century City allow dogs so you can take your dog for a walk.
