Balboa Fun Zone
Newport Beach in California is one of the nicest vacation spots not only in the United States, but maybe the world. I haven’t traveled around the world, but there can’t be that many things that are better than a Newport Beach vacation.
Last year, I took our family, consisting of my wife, and my three children down there on a week long vacation. The kids loved it and we are considering going back since we loved it so much. The best attraction that we went to and enjoyed the most definitely was the Balboa Fun Zone.
The Balboa Fun Zone is a great attraction if you do have kids. They are open every day of the week. On Sunday through Thursday, they are open from eleven am to four pm. On Friday they are open from eleven am to nine pm, and on Saturday the same hours except till ten pm. One of the great things is that one night we were there, the park was absolutely packed. We were going to go back the other day since we got there late, but they actually kept the park open past six pm on Wednesday night since the park was so crowded.
The Balboa Fun Zone is one of the oldest amusement parks in California. The Balboa Fun Zone is known for its two main attractions: the Ferris wheel and its carousel (or merry go round). The Ferris wheel is one of the most beautiful, serene rides you will ever go on. The ride moves slowly so you can enjoy the view that is obtained from the ride. You can see the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful coast. The Ferris wheel is inexpensive; at only three dollars a ride and you must be over fifty inches to ride it. The merry go round is even cheaper, at only two dollars a ride. Anyone can go on it, although smaller kids like one of my kids need an assistant, and they don’t even charge you for that. There are also tons of arcades, places to eat, and more that make the Balboa Fun Zone a kids haven.
My kids just cannot wait to go back!
