On December 31st the night belongs to adults who welcome the new year with cocktails, music and dance. Not ALL adults want to stay up late–especially when they’re moms & dads. While events such as Monrovia’s New Year’s Eve on Myrtle Avenue offer babysitting for a fee during the City celebration, other family options include Noon Year’s Eve parties.

One of California’s biggest NYE parties happens at Legoland California Kids’ New Year’s Eve. It features a 6 p.m. Countdown, Lego Brick Drop and Fireworks above the replica New York City made of LEGO bricks.
