I've lived in Orange County most of my life and haven't yet gone to Adventure City. I've driven by it many times and remembered going to Hobby City when it was at the same location (which has been closed for years). If you have kids, this is worth a visit and is affordable. Parking is free, and there are plenty of spaces when their isn't other events or services going on at the same location. My first visit was for a family kid's birthday party, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The party itself was organized well and had its own area inside one of the buildings. We had our own area decorated (you can bring your own decorations, too), and the food was fantastic for amusement park food. We had pizza, turkey sandwiches, chicken tenders, soda, and punch. We had about an hour for lunch before being released to enjoy the rest of the park. Many of the staff were kind during the party and throughout the park and made the experience that much nicer. The variety of rides here will please most young kids and adults. There are a couple of roller coasters, a carousel, a train that circles once around the park, and many more rides. I'm surprised how much they fit into the park space. There is also an arcade and a petting zoo. For food in the park, you have the standard burgers, pizza, tenders, pretzels, churros, ICEE, ice cream, and more. The prices aren't too bad either. Plenty of snacks and merch to purchase, too. There are also plenty of places to sit and relax, with shaded areas. Especially needed during a warm SoCal day. It was the first time for many guests in our party, and everyone enjoyed the experience. Many of the kids want to go back and have their birthday parties here next year, too.

We had a blast

Recently brought my goddaughter/ niece and SIL to Adventure City and we had so much fun. This place is truly toddler friendly and the staff all were friendly. The rides are definitely fit for my precious girl. She did not want to leave. The only negative I would say is that the arcade is waaay too loud. I recommend lowering the sounds of the machines if possible because even I found myself irritated inside but overall we had a great time. We'd come back again.

Ride a lil train, pet a goat, fly an airplane and sip on an icee at Adventure City. This place is great for the little adventure seeker. Best for ages under 8. We went on all the rides and played in the arcade area in about 3hours. Family friendly spot, free parking which is a plus and healthy food options like salads are available for purchase.

I went to adventure city for my little cousin's fifth birthday. It's a cute little mini park for anyone who can't afford Disneyland. When you walk in, it was decorated really cute for Easter and there was plenty of rides that weren't so big. They had a dance party for the little kids. You can also rent little rooms for birthday parties. They do offer chicken tenders, french fries, sandwiches and soda. You are not allowed to bring your own cake so they offer cupcakes.

Honestly, Adventure City was a really great experience. Parking was easy, and for the price, it's honestly hard to complain. I went in without doing much research just saw a TikTok video and decided to check it out and I'm glad we did. The park was a little smaller than I expected, but for what you pay, I actually think it's a great value. We specifically love taking our 2-year-old and 7-year-old to theme parks that are designed for younger kids so they can actually enjoy the rides instead of just watching from the sidelines. The only downside for us was the Freeway Coaster. My 2-year-old was so excited that she was tall enough to ride it, but unfortunately it was pretty rough and not the best experience for a little one. Other than that, we had a wonderful day. The staff was friendly, the park was clean, and the smaller crowds made it easy to enjoy everything without long waits. If you're looking for an affordable, family-friendly theme park where younger kids can ride and have a blast, Adventure City is definitely worth checking out. We'd happily come back!

How fun!!!!! Spent the day here with my two nephews and dad. We truly had so much fun throughout the entire day. Check in and tickets were extremely easy and fast to obtain. Warmer in the summer time but definitely loved the mist spraying throughout the park. Staff are all so sweet and enjoyed the refills and rides! Loved the petting zoo too!

The party room that made everyone awe as they walk in! It's pre-decorated as if you're in a tree room and filled with fake gift boxes!

We just threw my son's 7th birthday party at Adventure City and the kids and I think even the adults had a blast! Everything was so well coordinated! We were lucky to book the Tree party room which needs a minimum of 35 guests (thats anyone over the age of 1) to maximum 55 guests. And all you have to do is bring the table covers and cake and they take care of the rest, now me being extra I brought some balloons and goody bags! But they still set up everything so nicely even the cupcakes and cake on trays and the goody bags on a nice table. I loved that! You're given a time slot to use the room, so that would be my only little qualm with it bc it's only an hour for the price per head, which felt a little rushed to get everyone inside and eat the pizza and cut the cake and eat the cake and pictures and stuff all within an hour. Like if you ordered anything else it took some time too. I would hope they extend the time for larger parties, or work on that. For the rest of the day not the eating hour in the party room, the party package includes everyone access to all the rides all day from opening to closing! And the petting farm. The only thing not included is the arcade. But overall amazing time, and then the leftover food, cake, the decor you want to keep or goody bags are kept for you at the party station till you leave the park. What I love to is that my son has cousins and friends that range from age 2-10 so we needed to find a venue that can accommodate what everyone could enjoy! This was it!

The only food place in the park minus a few little snack carts throughout the park.

Cleanliness 4 Cost 4 Cuisine 3 Customer Service 4 We wanted to try this park. Parking was free and it was a one min walk to the entrance. The ride lines weren't too bad. Longest wait was about 30 min. Most of the other rides were 10-15 min. The park is small. The food was just as expected for an amusement park. I would definitely recommend if your 3-8 year old likes all the rides; then it is worth it. We will go back in the future.

Ask the Community - Adventure City

Is this place Bigback friendly like myself? or the rides are for normal size people? lol asking for a friend (me)

Can larger size parents ride the rides?

Yes. Recommend to give the place a call to be safe.

Best age to take my kids? My twins just turned one and aren't walking.

I don't think this is a place for one-year-olds. you are better off taking them to one of those baby indoor playgrounds.

I'm debating if I should buy 100 fun cards or 250 fun cards. Can you tell me how many cards do you need for each games and feeding animals approximately?

Hi Sayo, Farm feed is 30 points. Games vary from 5 points to 15 points per play. The $20 fun card… 

How many hours should I plan to spend there? We have grandparents, parents, baby, kids ages 5, 8, and 10.

Depending on how busy it is... u can complete the park in 3hrs. We arrived early and did everything within 2hrs. Stay an extra hour so the kids can ride multiple times.

How crowded is it on a normal Saturday or Sunday morning?

Wasn't too bad. The roller coaster lines were 15 mins. You're rarely waiting longer than 20 mins for any particular ride

Can 2 year olds ride ? Are gift cards available

Some of the rides have height restrictions but most were ok. I don't know about the gift certificates

Is it good for a 10 year old or will it be too babyish?

No, I think a 10 year old would still enjoy it. It may be babyish if your 10 year old is used to big rollercoasters and rides though. I'd say look at the pictures and see if it would be a good fit for your child.

Can we take water and snacks?

Yes. You can bring in food, drinks, snacks etc. They have plenty of tables with umbrellas throughout the park.

Do they allow you to bring your own stroller/wagon? I saw they had stroller rentals but wondering if we can bring our own wagon for our son.

Yes you can bring your own.

Is this good for a 10 month old baby?

Yes, there are a few rides for babies, and best of all, lines are short enough to ride multiple times for the most part.

Hi! I'm trying to budget for our trip to adventure city next month. Roughly, how much does an average food cost and souvenir so I can try to estimate how much to bring?

Food ranges between $8-12 and souvenirs range from $10-$25.

How much ticket for 3 years, 6 years old and adult?

$28.95 per person

Is this place good for 2 year olds?

Absolutely. There are some great rides for toddlers. Also the petting zoo (goats and pigs) is a big hit with my child. I recommend getting there 15 or 20 minutes after… 

When will you be open during the weekdays?

They open when schools are closed. During most major holidays, winter break, spring break and summer vacation.

Is it a good place for 3 years old baby?

Yes

How many rides are there and also do you allow service dogs?

Is it a good place for a 9 year old?

Absolutely

Is there rides for a 1 year old?

The train, carousel and the rescue cars you can sit and hold your 1 year old

Will you open Wednesday next week?

Check their website on a reg. basis. It changes.

The guy working at the merge between the regular line and the "fast lane" in the afternoon at 3:30 PM was the absolute worst. I understand that people in the fast lane have priority over riders but you don't just let 25 to 30 minutes of people pass and let the regular lane on standby. There would be a few groups that would scan in via wristband or with their piece of paper which is fine but there were so many times where the line ends and the guy working would wait 2 to 3 minutes without letting anyone from the regular line go on. The line to get on the actual ride wasn't long at all until it got very full with 30 minutes of fast lane riders which was about 80 to 100 people easily. Once we got to the actual standby line, it started drizzling a little bit so they closed down the ride for who knows how long. We waited and waited even after the rain subsided but they still didn't open up. We waited over 30 minutes and decided to leave the line through the front which was the only way out. After about 10 minutes, they decided to open up the ride which was very frustrating. Two of us came back at 4:50 PM. I'm a tall guy but I was within the height limit. I know this because I've been on this ride a few years ago without any problem at all. My friend and I waited almost 30 minutes and it was finally time for us to get on. As soon as I get in the car, some teenager working there with blond hair demands that I get up so they could measure me. I asked if I can take off my HOKAS which add an inch to my height to which he declined and told me to get out. If I was approached by a Knott's employee anytime within the hour of me waiting my first time around or the 30 minutes my second time to check my height, I would've been okay with that. Instead, I waited almost an hour and a half total only to be kicked out in a rude manner after I got comfortable. My neck also fit the headrest with plenty of room to spare so there was no problem there. My biggest complaint is to the young Hispanic male working the merge that's probably in his early to mid 20s. He was 100% not following line protocol because why would you let 20 minutes of "fast lane" holders through without even batting an eye to the regular standby line even when nobody was coming through? At one point, there were a few guests with wristbands that didn't scan but he let them through anyways. Also, your ride wait times are not near accurate. There were a few rides in Camp Snoopy with a 5 minute wait time and they all took 25 to 30 minutes. The log ride said 60 minutes but it took less than 10 minutes. Most rides said 10 to 15 minutes but actually was a 30 to 40 minutes standby wait time. Knott's is one of those theme parks that only hire incompetent teenagers and kids in their early 20s that know nothing about customer service or safety. Since the Knott's owner merged with Six Flags, I expect lots of changes. First off, paying $40 for parking for it to be way off property past the hotels is insane. The $60 preferred parking isn't good either because it's still extremely far away. Your employees are absolute garbage and need to learn basic communication skills. Lastly, the safety equipment for your rides are all trash. Every single ride needs a renovation because there's rust everywhere and it's very bumpy. Spend more money and go to Disneyland or an actual theme park and not this hot garbage. Easily the worst theme park in the area.

It opens during sun down AKA when all the other normies without event tickets get kicked out around 6 PM I believe and of course its an experience that is BEST in total darkness when the sun has already set. Despite going to Oogie Boogie for a couple years already, this was my first time ever going to Villain's Grove only by virtue of the line moving super fast (less than 15 minutes in our case) and that we reached the capacity of the amount of candy that we've already gotten from Trick or Treating. Since this experience has NO VILLAINS to meet NOR any candy to get, just make sure you have your priorities in check. Since any wait longer than that will cut into your precious Oogie Boogie time and that IS a sold out event most years, if not every year. This takes place at what usually is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and there's a slightly different route if you need ADA wheelchair accessibility. It's a neat experience with "geysers", candles, lights, fog, music, the simulation of rain and thunderstorms that give you a neat villainous vibe from familiar faces such as the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Scar, Dr. Facilier, etc. From an artistic perspective it's pretty neat how they pulled off some of the grove.

Booking: We originally booked a two-day, one-night stay in the spring but had to cancel due to an emergency. Thankfully, we were able to keep our payment as a credit to use within a year. When we decided to rebook, I had to call to use the credit. The phone wait was extremely long, so my advice is to call as soon as they open. Also, check their website for discounts before calling because the reservation representatives won't necessarily look for those deals for you. Arrival and Parking: Parking was easy in the large garage. You pay for parking based on the number of nights you're staying, and then you're free to come and go. We arrived around 10 a.m. and completed pre-check-in. They let us know we'd receive a text when our room was ready. There wasn't anywhere to store our luggage, so we left everything in the car. Thankfully, luggage carts were available near the garage elevators. Our Room: We reserved the Wolf Den suite, which has a queen bed and a separate bunk-bed area for the kids. We loved that the girls had their own little space! The queen bed felt small since we're used to a king at home, but the bigger issue was how loudly it creaked on my husband's side. Every time he moved during the night, it woke me up. The room was also surprisingly dark. There were a few lamps and lights near the beds and sink, but they didn't provide much overall lighting. We were close to the elevators, which was convenient because we didn't have to walk down those long hallways. However, we could hear people talking and making noise in the hallway. Thankfully, we brought our sound machine, which helped us sleep. We also discovered that our TV remote was missing a battery. We tried calling the front desk several times without an answer, so my husband had to walk downstairs. Once he spoke to someone, they came up to help within minutes. Water Park and Activities: The water park was a lot of fun! I highly recommend visiting when schools aren't on break because the crowds and wait times are much more manageable. Most of the water attractions are fairly tame, although there's a four-person raft slide that's pretty intense. Only two of the four of us enjoyed that one! There were renovations happening during our visit, but we also noticed some new activities, including mini golf and a ropes course. My husband and the girls spent about an hour on the ropes course and absolutely loved it. We also decided to check out the bowling alley, and a kind stranger surprised us by giving us free tokens. Bless her heart! We were able to play a round before heading to the water park. The bowling balls are smaller and easy for kids to handle, and the lanes have bumpers, which makes it a great family activity. We had a lot of fun! Of course, we also stopped by the arcade, which is always a hit with our family. Towels are provided at the water park, but you need to return them before leaving. There's also a shop selling swimsuits, water shoes, goggles, and other essentials. We forgot our girls' goggles and bought the least expensive ones there, but unfortunately, they broke almost immediately. Food: We ate at several restaurants during our stay. Hungry as a Wolf continues to be a favorite! We ordered pizza and wings through the Great Wolf Lodge app while enjoying the water park. The food was ready quickly, and we received a text when it was ready for pickup. We were able to bring it into the water park, which was very convenient. For dinner, we tried the Timbers Table & Kitchen buffet because the girls really wanted to eat there. The food was okay, but I didn't feel it was worth the price. The main benefit was not having to leave the resort. On Saturday, we had lunch at Buckets Burgers & Bites on the upper level of the water park. We ordered using the nearby touchscreen, and the food came out quickly. We had a burger, kids' chicken nugget meals, and chicken tenders with fries. Everything tasted good! Seating was somewhat limited, but we managed to find spots near the bar. Before leaving, we stopped at Wood's End Creamery for ice cream. My daughter and I had vanilla soft serve, and our other daughter chose birthday cake. My vanilla wasn't particularly good, but it was a nice final treat before heading home. Overall: Great Wolf Lodge is a fun place for a family getaway, especially if your kids enjoy water activities. We loved spending time together, and the girls had a wonderful time. There are definitely areas that could use improvement, particularly the room comfort, lighting, reaching the front desk, and the value of some dining options. But despite those frustrations, we made some great memories and enjoyed our stay!

Review #1010 2026-080…read more The Boardwalk Games & Arcade features different interactive games as well as an arcade with the latest & most popular games. The latter was reimagined in 02/2025 as The Factory Floor Arcade to feature a 1920s factory theme with 70 games & virtual reality attractions: Godzilla & Rilex Coaster. Players can redeem their winnings at the redemption counter that's stocked with prizes. The outdoor area is lined with traditional midway carnival games of skill & chance: 3-Point Challenge, Beach Ball Bust, Boardwalk Hoops, Bonkers, Dune Buggy Dash, Gearhead Knock Down, Hang Time Challenge, Hi-Striker, Ring Toss, Strike Out, Surf's Up, The Guessing Game (Knott's operator either guesses age or weight within a specific margin to win a prize), Woodstock's Birdbath (this is a "winner every time" game), etc. Both require additional fees from park admission. We rarely play at the Boardwalk Games & Arcade unless there's a collectible toy that caught our kids' eye. While it's a couple of dollars, it adds up due to the difficulty level, except Woodstock's Birdbath (but its prizes are less desirable), & the frustration of not winning anything after spending a lot of time & money. A $5 plushie might cost $50 after multiple failed attempts... yikes! We limited our kiddos to $20. One of the handful of times my eldest played, H won a Squishmallow at one of the booths on her 1st try! ^_^ Whoohoo! Recommended: If you're pretty skilled or just damn lucky, I'd say go for it!

If you are here and you are absolutely itching to play at an arcade, it's fine for what it is, but the ticket redemptions and the price per play is a big rip off. In addition, they have claw machines that are all set to such a low rate of winning that it's totally not worth it at all. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are really in an arcade mood, there are plenty of spots outside of the theme park that you can go to.

Background On Upgrade: In January 2014, the ride underwent a massive refurbishment in partnership with Garner Holt Productions. This extensive makeover restored the classic attraction to its former glory by adding over 50 new animatronic figures, new lighting, and enhanced audio while still honoring the attraction's original charm. For a full point-of-view experience that takes you on a tour through all of the ride's detailed, subterranean scenes and glowing caverns: Visitation Rights: Been on this rides countless of times. My heart can't take all these other fast rides no more. Wait Time: Wait time can be long due to having only one train operating. It's a oldie, but goodie. Just keep calm and go with the flow. Location: Located in the Ghost Town section. Ambiance/Decor: A slow moving classic dark ride with animations. It smelled really bad last time when we were in the waiting queue. We originally thought it was the person in front of us... then we started pointing fingers at each other. LoL Once we left the area, the smell was gone. :) Calico Mine For Thought: I wouldn't mind riding the ride again. Hopefully, the smell won't be there the next time we go.

Werid ride, very step into the past to see how old rides used to be…read more Hard to hear what is said, everyone looks creepy. Can probably get on quick, semi indoor ride

If this is not the greatest arcade in Southern California, I don't know what is…read more They still use coins for their machines here, and they still print physical tickets that you can redeem for prizes. They have over 100 games, just as much as, if not more than, your local Chucke cheese. You can host parties or just come on a casual day and have a blast. It does get packed but is not crazy packed; it's still really fun. Price point is the best selling point of the arcade; you pay in nickels exactly what the name implies. Most games cost about 5 nickels at most, which is about a quarter per game. You can order quarters in bulk, 3, 5, 9, or 10$. It is a baggie filled with nickels for whatever price point you decide to buy. You can also request additional baggies to separate your coins between People or baggies for your tickets. Admission is about $2 per person to get in, but it is not expensive at all. With $20, the four of us spent a good 1 hour and 30 minutes having fun. We were also able to get some really cool prizes at the end. My kids loved it, and although it is a drive for us from the San Fernando Valley, we will be making this trip very often because it is so worth it. Highly recommend this arcade spot.

My family was asked to leave after reaching for a nickel that fell between an arcade machine. We…read moreslightly moved the machine to try to reach it, and instead of simply warning us or explaining the safety concern, we were kicked out. There was no warning, no signage, no posted rule, and no indication whatsoever that slightly moving a machine could result in being removed from the arcade. We were paying customers there with our children, enjoying our time, and the entire situation was handled extremely unprofessionally. What was unfair was being immediately asked to leave over something minor without any warning or clearly communicated policy. Parents, just be aware: you can be a paying customer with your children and still be kicked out without a warning over something you were never told was a rule. Ps: homegirl with the glasses and light brown curly hair had a rude attitude, unprofessional behavior, and the way she handled the situation resulted in extremely unfair treatment toward my family. Very disappointing experience.
