My family and I were lucky enough to visit Sugar Rush for their media preview night, and we had a blast! This was a walk through event which seems like something we used to do ages ago. It felt amazing to get off and walk through this event that really has amazing details at each installation. This event will run from April 2nd - May 2nd in Westfield Topanga located in Woodland Hills, Ca.

Ticket information & Safety measures
This event was definitely designed for families and with all the safety measures needed during this time. Tickets are sold as a family which start at $55 for a family of two or single ticket at $30. Before you walk into the event they have temperature checks and security check. Throughout the event there was plenty of hand sanitizer and more than enough space to social distance. Also keep in mind that tickets are timed to prevent over crowding and for your safety. We took our baby’s stroller and felt safe throughout the whole event as we had enough space to make sure Baby Josefina was not near anyone else. This event is also dog and wheelchair friendly. Before you say goodbye to Sugar Rush you receive a candy bag (included with every ticket) and there is a picnic area with play ground to enjoy your treats. I was pleased to see sanitizing wipes so that you can clean the tables and swings before you use. To purchase tickets click the link below and enjoy !
What to expect
Besides a sugar rush you can expect fun for all the family! I loved all the photo ops and of course my toddler loved the music and colorful themes. As for papa he enjoyed that candy bag! Each installation was full of color and detail. My son enjoyed interacting with the performers, his absolute favorite were the fairies. This is a great day and night event we visited in the evening BUT if you want to take vibrant photos for the gram definitely visit during the day. If you kiddos still have energy left from all that sugar make sure to stop by the picnic area that has a playground with swings, and all! Did I mention this also dog friendly ?! Yes you can bring your pup and they even have water stations for your furry friends. Check out my IG reel to see more of the fun!
What to do after
After all that sugar we were starving for some dinner and decided to check out something nearby. Right across the street is The Village where we ate at Lucille’s BBQ and as always was so delicious! I recommend checking out what restaurants are to your liking and budget and enjoying something to eat before or after visiting this event. Check out the link below for a list of restaurants at Westfield Topanga & The Village.

My Tips
This birthday I decided I wanted to do a family glamping trip to celebrate. We decided to visit El Capitan Canyon in Santa Barbara, Ca. This was our first road trip of 2021 and the first trip as a family of four!
Book/Rates
For cheapest rates book Sunday to Monday or weekdays. This is definitely a place you need to stay more than one night to get the most of it.
What to do
This is perfect for a family that loves to hike or spend time at the beach. They have hiking trails and the beach is right across! They have a pool and playground which was closed when we visited but is a major plus for families with small children
You can rent bikes for free BUT these are adult bikes children need to take their own.
Things to do nearby
Last minute I thought of taking the kids to the zoo since it’s on the way but didn’t get tickets for the time I wanted BUT I would definitely recommend doing this as this zoo is half the price of the LA zoo. *photo from the Santa Barbara zoo when we visited last year before covid*
