Family-Friendly Olympics: Strollers, Snacks, Bathrooms, Quiet Spaces

Olympic days can be long for little legs. From stroller checks to snack hacks, this guide makes LA28 manageable for families.

Family prep checklist#

• Pack collapsible strollers; bulky joggers may be denied at security checkpoints.
• Bring refillable water bottles and sealed snacks—most venues allow both for kids.
• Preload cartoons and games on devices; venues offer charging lockers for quick top-ups.
• Label everything with your mobile number—especially hats, jackets, and plush mascots.

Strollers & mobility gear#

• Strollers are allowed but screened. Use designated stroller corrals located near each venue’s main gate.
• Baby carriers fast-track security. For infants, bring soft carriers to navigate stairs quickly.
• Need rentals? Companies like Cloud of Goods deliver stroller and car seat rentals to hotels.
• Combine these tips with our accessibility guide if you require additional support.

Food & diaper logistics#

• Family restrooms with changing tables: look for signage near guest services. SoFi, Coliseum, and Santa Monica Fan Fest add extra changing pods.
• Nursing rooms/quiet rooms: SoFi Level 3, Crypto.com Arena Section 119, Long Beach Convention Center Room 102.
• Pack shelf-stable snacks; check our budget guide for affordable grab-and-go options near venues.
• Many hospitality houses (e.g., New Zealand at Ivy Station) offer family lounges during daytime hours.

Sensory breaks & entertainment#

• Quiet spaces: LA Live Community Hub, Grand Park picnic area, Venice Beach Library (air-conditioned).
• Let kids stretch out at Exposition Park’s Rose Garden or Pasadena’s Central Park between matches.
• Free daytime programming: Santa Monica’s youth clinics, Culver City’s interactive art walk, Downtown Disney Olympic Crafts.
• Pair with our family-friendly watch party list for kid-friendly viewing spots.

FAQs#

Q: Do kids need their own tickets?
A: Children over two require tickets. For toddlers, check with the venue—lap seating policies vary, but most allow infants under two without a seat.

Q: Are there stroller-friendly shuttles?
A: Yes. All official shuttles are low-floor buses with stroller storage. Collapse strollers before boarding to keep aisles clear.
