It may be hard to believe, but summer is almost over. With the back to school rush comes a desire to fill what remains of summer with a few more fabulous outings and adventures – preferably ones that will lower your temperature during the dog days of summer. Here are the best ways to keep cool until it’s time to head back to school.

Revisit your childhood with a trip to an arcade

Heading to the arcade is a great way to get your little gamers out of the house. Show your kids how games where played back in the day. The great thing about an arcade is that they offer a variety of options ranging from the latest games to classics. Not to mention the excitement that comes with the quest to win as many tickets as possible in hopes to take home a prize.

Try one of our favorite local spots, like the Sherman Oaks Castle Park Arcade or the Family Amusement Arcade.
