Family Fun In the Sun

With so many theme parks and family-oriented activities in the area, it’s so easy to build your ultimate family vacation in Orange County.

Where do you begin? Our theme parks are the perfect starting point. From the friendly faces of Mickey Mouse and Snoopy to kid-friendly rides and thrilling attractions for teens, everyone in your family will let their imaginations run wild!

Even education can be fun in the OC! Talk with the animals or explore family-friendly museums. The Aquarium of the Pacific and local zoos offer a chance to get up close with animals and learn about the wild kingdom.

At the Discovery Science Center, children have a blast with the interactive exhibits and don’t even realize they’re learning about science. The Bowers Museum of Cultural Art features its own Kidseum, where little ones can create their own masterpieces and touch hands-on exhibits from all-over the world.

In need of some down time? Plant yourself under an umbrella on one of our sandy beaches and let the family loose. They’ll have a ball building sandcastles, hunting for seashells or frolicking in the surf.

Of course, amid all this fun, you may need to feed your family. Family dining is taken to a whole new level of fun in Orange County with theme restaurants like Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament and Pirate’s Dinner Adventure.

Finally, wind down at one of the area’s family-friendly accommodations complete with kids suites and special treats.
