Rainy Day in Torrance With Kids: Indoor Options by Age
- Torrance
- Family
- Last verified
Quick answer
Pick by your child's age and the outing you want. Babies and toddlers: city library storytimes or Dig It's Toddler Time (ages 5 and under per its own schedule page). No age split: Dig It's All Ages sessions. More active or hands-on: an indoor climbing gym, an aviation museum or an escape room. Schedules and booking rules change often, so confirm on the official page first.
Options by age and activity
Based on official pages or the mall's official directory; where the visitor bureau is also used, the text says so.
- Library storytimes: Toddlertime, Family Storytime (all ages), Sensory Storytime (ages 0 to 5 with sensory needs)
- Del Amo Fashion Center: Dig It (Toddler Time for ages 5 and under; All Ages sessions), ZoomiZoomi Kids Club, Le Funland
- Active or hands-on: Class 5 Indoor Climbing, Western Museum of Flight, The Escape Game Torrance, Dave & Buster's
Library storytimes
The City of Torrance's event listings include Toddlertime and Sensory Storytime at the Katy Geissert Civic Center Library (Sensory Storytime is for ages 0 to 5 with sensory challenges and is listed as free) and Family Storytime at Walteria Library (all ages, listed as free).
Schedules and age descriptions vary by event and date, and Toddlertime age wording differs between listings: the city's event listing says 6 to 18 months, while the library's 2026 Toddlertime listing says 18 months to 3 years. Check the Torrance Public Library calendar for the exact entry on your date before you go.
Del Amo Fashion Center
Del Amo is an indoor mall with a movie complex and children's play areas, so you can move between activities under one roof. Dig It describes itself as a construction-themed STEM play space, and its own schedule page lists it at 3525 W. Carson St., Unit 173, Torrance, CA 90503. That page splits sessions into Toddler Time, listed for ages 5 and under, and All Ages, and the Reserve Tickets buttons on its site lead to an online ticket page.
ZoomiZoomi Kids Club's own site puts it on the 2nd floor of Del Amo Mall (21800 Hawthorne Blvd. Suite 705) and mentions children from 10 months to 12 years in its admission details. The mall's official directory (Simon) lists Le Funland on the lower level as a children's play area, and Discover Torrance describes it as a soft-play space for young children. We could not find a page of its own.
Active and hands-on options
Class 5 Indoor Climbing (20120 Hawthorne Blvd) is run by Touchstone, whose site lists about 26,000 square feet of climbing terrain and has youth programs and camps in its menu. The Western Museum of Flight (3315 Airport Drive, at Zamperini Field) says on its site that children in its education programs can see and touch aircraft.
The Escape Game Torrance (3525 W. Carson St., Unit 161, at Del Amo Fashion Center) runs 60-minute escape games and describes them as family-friendly and designed for all ages and skill levels; no minimum age is stated. Dave & Buster's (21880 Hawthorne Blvd, Ste 360) has a restaurant, a sports bar and an arcade, and its page only says that minor policies vary by location. Ask each venue about age limits and adult-accompaniment rules first.
A five-minute check before you leave
Compiled from official pages, not personal visits, so always make the last check on the official page.
- Confirm the place or program is running today on its official page or the library calendar.
- Find out whether you need to reserve. Dig It's site leads to an online ticket page.
- Check that the session's or program's age range fits your child.
- Language support, including Korean, is not confirmed anywhere we checked, so ask ahead if it matters.
