Unique Ways To Celebrate Mother's Day In Los Angeles
Being a mom is a 24/7/365 job. Getting special recognition and celebration for that work only happens once a year. For everything she does, and has always done, and always will do, give mom an experience that's as special as she is. The list we've compiled here are experiences the two of you - or even the entire family - can enjoy together. Whether it's spending time on the water, working out, or making a meal side-by-side, these experiences go beyond the standard Mother's Day celebration.

If Mom has ever lamented that she feels like she's living in the middle of a circus, this might be the perfect Mother's Day event. Back for their 19th year, Lexi Pearl's Momentum Place transforms the Theatricum Botanicum's rugged outdoor amphitheater into a magical realm of aerialists and circus performers, dancers and musicians, performing kid-friendly feats under the trees. Before the performance, surprise mom with a tranquil brunch in the gardens outside the theatre. Brunch is served at noon, and the show starts at 2pm. Tickets can be found here.

Go On A Scenic Drive
Spend some quality time with Mom as you take a scenic drive throughout Los Angeles. One of the benefits of L.A. is the city offers plenty of spaces to get out on the open road and explore.
