FREE CONCERTS The Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra provides high-quality, admission-free concerts from the classical and contemporary symphony repertoire. Check their website for concert schedules.

FREE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE offered by Quality West Wing Foundation (Corona) Every student's introduction to our government should be one that leaves a lasting impression of how fortunate they are to be living in America. Naturally a trip to Washington, D.C. featuring a tour of Capitol Hill, viewing the Congress and the Senate in session, along with seeing our Supreme Court in action would be the most desirable. But now, there is a local option for your children.
