 Family Best Bets

 SAMO’S CLUBHOUSE GRAND OPENING

Find out what's happening in Santa Monicafor free with the latest updates from Patch.

 Where/When: ; November 18th at 10:00 a.m.

 Why Go: Why just the other day I was thinking that not enough grand openings feature 42-foot Humpback Whales. Thankfully now an event does. (okay, so it’s made of steel, wood and rope but still, it’s close). In addition to the whale, there will be tasty snacks, live music, and crafts to celebrate the opening of our city’s brand new play place for the under 8 set.
