Address
15151 San Fernando Mission Blvd, Mission Hills
One of the original 21 California missions, founded in 1797. Beautiful white adobe buildings, a museum with artifacts from the mission period, peaceful gardens, and olive trees that are over 200 years old. It's affordable, educational, and a connection to real California history that kids can actually walk through.
- Ages: Best for school-age kids (great for history projects)
- Pro tip: It's still an active Catholic parish, so be respectful during services. The gardens alone are worth the visit.
