California Adventure Park
Kid-friendly Fun with Some Familiar Faces
By C.J. Johnson
S.S. Rustworthy
This cooling-off point is loaded with fun! Equipped with fire hoses, surfboards and plenty of water games, this spot keeps kids entertained and cool for long bouts of time. It was hard to drag both of my children away from this spot.
Redwood Creek Challenge Trail
Children brave the wilds as they hop across stones in creeks, wander through bear-infested caves and climb ropes. It is an adventure not to be missed. After an hour, our kids still wanted to keep playing on the trails.
Hyperion Theater
This huge 2,000-seat theater hosts a musical that all ages can enjoy. The fleets of dancers gyrate across the stage, and the female lead offers up songs from the most popular Disney movies.
Disney Animation
Children get hands-on experience within this attraction. There is an animation screening room, a drawing workstation, a sorcerer's workshop and an overview of the art of animation.
Sun Wheel
A fabulous Ferris wheel with additional sliding rails that allow the cabin to rotate on an oval track.
Golden Zephyr
A spinning spacecraft for all ages. This ride launches over the water for breathtaking views and a gentle ride.
