Depending on the month, screenings cover development, dental health, vision and/or speech, and local child-development experts are on site to answer grown-ups' questions about milestones and where to find support. The sessions run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; in this window they fall on November 13 and December 11. The screenings themselves are free; the museum's listing does not say whether regular museum admission applies for the play portion. ## Similar picks in Los Angeles - [Veterans Day at Pretend City](https://grassyknees.com/los-angeles/activities/veterans-day-at-pretend-city--listing-a2b92a6b9dde52939de274f2) — Wed, Nov 11 · 11:00 AM · Pretend City Children's Museum, Irvine · checked Oct 14.
