6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

Come to The Inglewood Public Library and “check out” their new selection of video games, for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, that you can borrow, just like you would borrow a book?

Billie and Joey have brewed over 240 batches of beer along with a few collaborations with some of the more established breweries in California. They intend to continue to collaborate with more breweries in the future.

PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2025-12-26 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Fame, identity, Corvettes — Angelyne, the self-proclaimed Rorschach test in pink, takes over Los Angeles billboards in the mid-1980s as an enigmatic blonde bombshell, ushering in the era of famous-for-being-famous influencer culture.
Starring Emmy Rossum, Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.

The Nethercutt Museum
2025-12-26 09:00 - 16:30 | The Nethercutt Museum & Collection, 15151 Bledsoe Street, Sylmar, CA, 91342, United States
FREE EVERY THURSDAY – SUNDAY- Sylmar

Founder JB Nethercutt spent a lifetime establishing this collection of historic importance. Unique to automobile museums, each car on display is attentively serviced and maintained to remain as drivable as when the vehicle originally rolled off the showroom floor. On view are various Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance winners and cars once owned by movie stars, royalty and other notable personalities.

Building ONE: The Nethercutt Museum FREE!
The entire collection is housed in two beautifully appointed exhibit facilities located just north of Los Angeles. Housed in the Museum is the Nethercutt Automotive Research Library and Archives , one of the world’s top automotive research facilities. Just steps outside the Museum are a resplendently restored steam locomotive and railcar.
Opened in 1971, The Nethercutt Collection is a not-for-profit educational institution and a resource for automobile enthusiasts, historians, students and scholars. It is open to the public at no charge. The Nethercutt Museum showcases more than 130 of the world’s greatest antique, vintage, classic and special interest automobiles including many top winners of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

THE ANTIQUE ERA (1890s – 1915)
Innovation and experimentation were at the heart of this era and provided the catalyst for the automobiles’ development. By the late-19th century, “horseless carriages” were being built by small groups of artisans, craftsmen and engineers on a small scale, with many taking characteristics from the wagons they were replacing.

THE VINTAGE ERA (1916 – 1924)
A class of cars that came to be known today as “vintage,” fits in between the expensive coach built brands that became classics and the inexpensive models represented by Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. These cars sold for between $500 and $2,000. They had basic engineering features but had better cosmetic appointments such as visors, cigar lighters and wool broadcloth interiors.

THE CLASSIC ERA (1925 – 1948)
This era elevated the common automobile to a status symbol, as evidenced by their cost. When common vehicles sold for $400 to about $1,200, the classic car had a price tag of $2,000 to $20,000.

THE POST-WAR ERA (1945 – 1970s)
Throughout the 1950s, engine power and vehicle speeds rose, designs became better integrated and more stylized, and cars grew more popular across the world. The auto market slightly shifted in the 1960s, causing Detroit to worry about foreign competition. European makers adopted even greater technology and Japan appeared as a serious car-producing nation.

THE MUSEUM LOCOMOTIVE & PRIVATE CAR
1937 Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson Locomotive #2839:
#2839 was built by Montreal Locomotive Works and is resplendent in its Royal maroon, gold leaf, gloss black and brushed stainless steel livery, is a testament to the grand era of steam locomotive engineering. The Hudson type is a 4-6-4 wheel arrangement and was a high-speed passenger locomotive with a top speed of 90 mph.
1912 Pullman Private Car #100 California:
Custom built by Pullman in Chicago, Illinois for Clara Baldwin Stocker the eldest Daughter of local Pioneer “Lucky” Baldwin. This railcar has been beautifully restored back to 1912
Building TWO: The Nethercutt Collection: Available by Tour Only advanced reservations are required- $10

Lower Salon

The Lower Salon is where guests assemble to start the guided tour. The salon is a microcosm of the entire collection. There are about 25 automobiles dating from the early 1900’s up till the late 1940’s. Also in display are nickelodeons, music boxes, David Winter Cottages, Dolls, Coins, and crystal figurines.

Grand Salon

Marble columns, crystal chandeliers, painted ceilings all make up this beautiful Grand Salon Showroom of the 1910’s, 20 and 30s. On display are approx. 30 of the finest automoblies of that era. Duesenbergs, Cadillacs, Isotta-Fraschini, Delahaye, Minvera, Renault, Maybach, many other European and American built automoblies.

IAMLA Italian American Museum of Los Angeles
2025-12-26 10:00 - 15:00 | Italian American Museum of Los Angeles, 644 N Main St, Los Angeles, CA, 90012, United States
TUESDAY TO SUNDAY – Italian American Museum of Los Angeles
The Italian American Museum of Los Angeles, or IAMLA, is located in the historic Italian Hall, which was constructed in 1908 to serve as a gathering place for the Italian community. Today, the Italian Hall is the oldest remaining structure from Los Angeles’ Italian enclave and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

THE HISTORY
Italians and Italian Americans have played an instrumental role in the development of Los Angeles as one of the world’s greatest metropolises, yet the history of Italians in the region is largely unknown. Though Los Angeles is home to the nation’s fifth-largest Italian population today, and the Italian presence in the American West predates the nation’s founding, seldom is the city included in dialogs surrounding contemporary or historic Italian American communities. An examination of the region’s Italian roots reveals both the complexity of the Italian Diaspora and the exceptionally diverse fabric of Southern California’s history.

The Los Angeles Italian experience contrasts with that of Italian immigrants elsewhere in the country and reveals the complexity of the Italian American diaspora. Given the success that Italian Americans have achieved in the United States, it is easy to forget that they, like other minority groups, faced considerable prejudice and hostility in their struggle to achieve the American Dream. In the American South, Italians were a common target of lynchings and racially-motivated violence. In the early 20th century, eugenicists described Italians as genetically inferior, while political cartoons of the era depicted Italians as threats to American security and racial purity.
THE MISSION
The mission of the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles is to foster a deeper understanding of Southern California’s diverse heritage through research, historic preservation, exhibitions, and educational programs that examine the history and continuing contributions of Italian Americans in multi-ethnic Los Angeles and the United States.
The IAMLA is a charity that depends on donations to accomplish its specific mission. As such, the IAMLA does entertain requests for financial support to fund other organizations, charitable or otherwise, nor does it provide financial resources to artists, scholars, filmmakers, etc. The IAMLA does not fund exhibitions or theatrical or cinematic productions, nor is the museum rented for such projects.

WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY – San Pedro
Discover the history of the Port of Los Angeles on land or at sea! Welcome to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum where our hardworking harbor tug ANGELS GATE provides educational tours while our historic museum building houses fascinating exhibits, a research library, a ham radio station, and a gift shop.
OPEN EVERY WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY FROM 12:00 pm TO 5:00 pm
FREE TO CHILDREN AGES 12 AND UNDER

Berth 84, Foot of 6th St., San Pedro, CA 90731
The Los Angeles Maritime Museum is housed in the former Municipal Ferry Terminal building, located on the main channel of the Los Angeles Harbor. It was designed in the Streamline Moderne style by architect Derwood Lydell Irvin of the Los Angeles Harbor Department. It was built in 1941 at Berth 84, by the Works Project Administration (WPA).
The ferry between San Pedro and Terminal Island ceased after the Vincent Thomas Bridge was opened to traffic in 1963. The building was then used for offices of the LA Harbor Department. The San Pedro Municipal Ferry Building is now a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Los Angeles Maritime Museum opened in 1979 as a result of widespread community efforts to save the historic building. It is the largest maritime museum on the West Coast. The museum’s interior renovation was designed by Modernist architect James Pulliam. The museum is operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks.

EXHIBITS
ANGELS GATE TUGBOAT

The tugboat ANGELS GATE arrived at the Museum in 1992, after almost 50 years of providing general towing services and goodwill tours for the Port of Los Angeles.
TĀMINARU

In the early 20th century, Terminal Island (in the Port of Los Angeles) was home to approximately 3,000 Japanese-Americans who earned their livelihood from catching and cleaning fish. Residents of this community, known as “Terminal Islanders” were originally from the Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, and retained their language and customs after emigrating to Los Angeles harbor.
Tāminaru is a look back at this lost community. The exhibit is guest curated by author Naomi Hirahara, organized by Tara Fansler, and sponsored by the Friends of the Los Angeles Maritime Museum and the Japan Business Association with the assistance of the Terminal Islanders Club.
POSEIDON MODEL

There is a movie star on the second floor! The model of the SS POSEIDON was the original prop in the 1972 classic film “The Poseidon Adventure”.
Fifteen men built the model over a period of three months. POSEIDON is 21 .5 feet long and weighs one ton. The builders relied on the plans of the RMS QUEEN MARY, now permanently docked as an attraction in Long Beach, California.
NAVY HALL

The Museum building, built-in 1941, was originally used as a ferry terminal, transporting people and automobiles between San Pedro and Terminal Island. The area of the first floor where cars would enter and exit is now used as the Navy Hall.
ANGELS GATE LIGHT

The Angels Gate Lighthouse (officially known as Los Angeles Harbor Light) has marked the entrance of Los Angeles Harbor through times of war and peace, and even survived a tidal wave! The tower itself has undergone many changes through the years. The distinctive green flash of the Angels Gate Lighthouse remains a welcoming beacon to professional mariners and recreational boaters alike.
KIDS EXHIBIT

Kids of all ages will discover what’s going on in the harbor today through a series of interactive games and activities in the children’s exhibit. Grab a pair of binoculars and take a close-up look at the nation’s busiest container port! Learn how cranes work, imagine yourself in a variety of harbor professions, build your own wharves, test your knowledge of ships and cargo, or just settle down and enjoy a nautical story!
Due to Covid-19-related precautions, the toys and costumes have been temporarily removed.
CAUGHT, CANNED, AND EATEN

The Port of Los Angeles (San Pedro) was the fishing capital of the nation for much of the twentieth century. Generations of fishermen sold catches of tuna, sardines, mackerel, and squid to fish markets or canneries on nearby Terminal Island.
Today, the fishing fleet is greatly diminished and the canneries have closed, but the legacy of the fishing and canning industries endures.
COMMERCIAL DIVING

This exhibit is an introduction to just a few of the thousands of jobs performed by commercial divers and fishery divers in the South Bay, and was the inspiration of the late Torrance R. Parker, noted commercial diver and author of 20,000 Jobs Under the Sea.
SCHOOL TOURS
The museum is pleased to offer educational tours throughout the year at no charge.
The museum is located on the Main Channel of Los Angeles Harbor. Students will have a front-row opportunity to see the massive container ships in action and learn about international trade, ship terminology, sailor’s art, and the history of the working people who built Los Angeles harbor into the nation’s busiest container port.
Tours are free for grades K-12, Wednesday –Friday mornings, and reservations are REQUIRED. The museum is unable to accommodate group tours without a reservation.
Call the tour hotline at 310-548-2900 and schedule your tour today, or email info@lamaritimemuseum.org.

The public museum as understood today is a collection of specimens and other objects of interest to the scholar, the man of science, and the more casual visitor, arranged and displayed in accordance with the scientific method. In its original sense, the term “museum” meant a spot dedicated to the muses – “a place where man’s mind could attain a mood of aloofness above everyday affairs.” By far the most important museum of antiquity was the great institution at Alexandria founded by Ptolemy Philadelphus in the third century before Christ, (an endeavor supported by a grant from the treasury). And no treatment of the museum would be complete without mention of Noah’s Ark in which we find the complete Museum of Natural History the world has ever seen.
The Museum of Jurassic Technology traces its origins to this period when many of the essential collections of today were beginning to take form. Many exhibits which we today have come to know as part of the Museum were, in fact, formally part of other less well-known collections and were subsequently consolidated into the single collection which we have come to know as The Museum of Jurassic Technology and thus configured, received great public acclaim as well as much discussion in scholastic circles.
