This Week’s Family Fun Events
From a family-friendly bird walk to a farm tour, here are this week’s local events for families to enjoy from May 23-29!
Long Beach Firefighter Museum
Wednesday, May 23 | 8:00am-12:00pm
1445 Peterson Ave, Long Beach 90813
The Long Beach Firefighter Museum collects, preserves, and displays the rich history of the Long Beach Fire Department. The collection has grown over time from little more than an idea and one old fire truck to a collection that can show the evolution of firefighting in the City of Long Beach and the fire service. If public service vehicles of all kinds fascinate your little one, this may be the perfect way for your family to spend a Wednesday morning!
