    Perfect for families with kids under 5

    Wanted to celebrate Children's day with my daughter.  We had heard about adventure city and despite feelings pangs of regret driving past Knotts Berry Farm... Once we arrived, I knew it was perfect for our 2 1/2 year old.  

    First off ALL the rides are "kiddie" rides... Very gentle round and round, up and down rides.  There was maybe 2 or 3 rides including 2 roller coasters that my daughter couldn't ride.  

    The rides were all pretty gentle, the petting zoo had an assortment of goats, a pig and a turtle (sharing the same pen... Interesting) and other animals... It actually didn't smell which was a plus.

    The only drawbacks was the food, there was one main food stand and a few small snack carts... There aren't a lot of choices, but given the size of the place it's okay.  The arcade was small and not much fun either.  

    Overall we loved the kid friendly atmosphere, and best of all NO LINES!  Definitely coming back.

    PERFECT for littler kids.  Only 10 rides (the bigger roller coaster was not working the day we were there), no lines... the whole place is about 1.5 acres, so you are literally walking around in little circles all day.  $15 to get in.  Great for kids' bday parties (much like Funky Monkey in Santa Rosa, or other pizza joint-y type kids places.  They provide the pizza and beverages and party bags, as well as a cool, indoor place to celebrate.  The train runs thru the party room, so it's fun to wave to everyone as they go by.

    Adults can ride most of the rides, but I believe there are 2 that are 'kids only.'

    I love Adventure City for my kids, I have a Pre K and an infant. Parking is free and very close. We can practically see our car from inside the park. Use your Triple A card and get 10% off admission. Its never crowded and when it rains, you can get return passes for free!!! Disney and Knotts would never do that. The employees have always been great. We've always been able to go on each ride anywhere from 2-5 times in a row and they dont mind as long as theres no line. Yes food options are limited so we usually walk to Juan Pollos for lunch. Another thing I really like is theres a mommy and me stall in the restroom. Very convenient.

    we love this place.  It's perfect for kids 3-8...the rides cater to this age group.  if your kid is looking for Space Mountain type of rides then this isn't your spot.

    tfree parking is great.  it takes 1 minute to get from your car to the park.  the admission charge is really affordable (approx $15) and the park is not huge..very manageable to walk around.  

    Food options aren't great but the prices are fair for an amusement park.  

    You can bring your own food and eat at the picnic tables located outside.  Outside is not allowed inside the park.  

    we're looking fwd to our next trip.

    About the size of someone's large backyard, this theme park is really made for the little kids.

    Love the free parking, the relatively cheap admission, and the fact that my son went on a few rides some thirty times in a row.  (He had a good time).

    Bummed at the food options here, the cheap behind the couch puppet show, the lack of employees anywhere... when you want to go on a ride, sometimes you need to flag someone down operating another ride.  Hope the maintenance is not the same level as the operating staff!

    After we had paid admission twice here, (two separate visits), my son just wanted to play with the Thomas the Train sets for hours and hours.  Could have gone to Toys R Us and done that for free.  The petting zoo is scary and overwhelming for some of the really smaller kids.

    But overall it was fun.

    Very cool park. Almost a secret ; lots of peeps don't even know it exists. Prices are right and it seems to be cleaner then camp snoopy. Very good place to bond with your kid(s) without having to worry about buying 300$ in food or toys.

    The rides are mostly spinning types but theres a train and cars too. Also some coasters that arent all that bad. My daughter almost handled the parachute drop without a tear. She will be manly soon. !

    I LOVE this place!  This is the PERFECT amusement park for 3-5 year olds, and so inexpensive at $15 per person (over 12 mos). They have trains, a petting zoo, puppet shows, and lots of little rides just their size.  There are only one or two roller coasters where your kid has to be over 42" to ride them...my poor 4 year old barely squeaked through standing on her tippy toes so she was happy.  They weren't crowded in the morning - definitely get there when they open - so some of the ride operaters let my kids go on the same ride over and over again if there wasn't a line, which made their day.  The food wasn't bad either.  Typical fair food: burgers, hot dogs, pizza, sandwich wraps and salads.   We'll be back before the kids get too old for it!

    Kids too short to ride any of the big rides at Disneyland will love it here and parents will love the much lower price. Take your 5 and under here before you introduce them to Disneyland. They will enjoy it much more.

    Advice: eat somewhere else!

    I've heard of this place for a while but have been very hesitant. Wow ! I waited too long to try this place! Such an awesome place for kids 2.5 - 6 years old!

    The place has plenty if easy parking spaces, walk up (no lines), pay $15 and you are in! I've also been hesitant of parks because of the size and value you get. Especially Disneyland! This place is soooo simple. Not huge at all! Probably the size of a super large target?!

    The entire place is so kid friendly and soooo clean! I was worried that it would be over crowded or dirty, but not at all!! Just as clean as Disneyland! Maybe cleaner!

    Kids can go on almost every ride! And since there aren't huge long lines, you walk up, get in the ride immediately and if you want, you can ride it again.

    You can bring snacks and food for the kids in the park. As for the food that they serve, not the best, but the pizza and hotdogs were good enough.

    we spent about 4 hours at the park and the kids had a blast! I can't wait to take them back!

    Adventure City is a great alternative to the bigger theme parks (Disneyland, Knotts Berry, Six Flags) for those families with children 7 and under.  There are only a handful of rides, but for $15, you can ride them as many times as the kids want.

    The park is clean and the staff is super friendly (but not creepy friendly).  There are plenty of places to hide in the shade on a hot day.  The rides are kind of across between rides at the bigger theme parks and rides at a traveling carnival, but they're all safe and fun.

    The food leaves something to be desired though.  While the prices are good, all of the food is either frozen or out of a can.  We ordered a 12" mushroom pizza, and the sauce tasted like metal and the mushrooms were definitely out of a can - still tasted like the brine water they come in.  And, it took almost 15 minutes to get!

    The park is fun, but like others have said - eat somewhere else.  The food is the only reason why I didn't give Adventure City 5 stars.

    I think I mighty've loved this place a bit more than my 17 month old daughter. I couldn't help it, Adventure City was so much fun! Although,  I must admit, my daughter was a bit sleepy, so she didn't get a chance to experience it to the fullest.

    There are 17 rides, and my daughter was able to go on 9 of them. She especially loved the petting zoo, which had animals about her size.

    The lines were short, the place was clean, and there were lots of trees to provide adequate shade for those warm days.

    The food prices were decent and served the usual theme park food. For caffeine addicts, they offer starbucks coffee. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful. And the park is small enough that everything could be done in a few hours time, without the feeling of exhaustion and disatisfaction such as what you'll feel in a big theme park.

    I will continue to take my sweet daughter here until she's 9-10 years old, then she will graduate to Disneyland.

    I gave my son his 3rd birthday party on the 4/7/12 here and it was the best thing ever.  Lets start with planning the party, the staff were great it was so easy  I called gave a guest # paid a deposit and was set.

    Now on to parking, there is plenty and its FREE!

    On the day of the party the staff took care of every thing I brought my on party supplies and they took it in and made magic the table setting was so gorgeous. Make sure to use the party store steps away for balloons it was so convenient.  

    At the start of the party hour the staff wheeled my son in on a little school bus cart which was extra special.

    The pizza was delicious which was served to us by very nice and efficient servers (who were also included in the party package). The snack station also had very affordable prices.

    The rides were perfect for my son he and his party goers E N J O Y E D this place. And parents its a very easy going experience  I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Great place for kids three to eight. It won't break the bank. Good fun for the whole family. We stayed about 2 hours, plenty for all of us. It's clean, well maintained, and the employees are nice. The rides are great, think mini-Knotts.

    Good family fun!

    Quick tips: Go early. Plenty of free parking. No outside food or drinks.

    Thumbs up, but as always, let me know what you think.

    On behalf of my 6 year old and his 6 year old friend, this place rocks!  No adult should be allowed to write a review about Adventure City unless it is dictated to them by a young child.  Why?  Well because it is a place made for 3-8 year olds and is absolutely perfect for them.

    We were there today and it was crazy hot.  The remedy for this is the "Rain" tent which has cool mist flying all about.  You go in and come out drenched.  Perrrrfect!

    Once we were nice and cool we hit several rides.  And those several rides we hit several times.  Why?  Because there was no line duhhhhh.  Perfect!

    After that we were starting to get a little hungry.  The food was reasonably priced and there was something for everyone.  The boys split a hamburger with real hamburger meat, real super green lettuce and real tomatoes.  I am not a big fan of fast foodie type stuff but i had a bit of this burger and it was very good.  It also came with a bag of Sun Chips.  For me,  a fruit bowl with a great mix of fruit.  For less than $15 we all filled our bellies.  Say what?  That's right PpPpPper-fecttttt!

    We completed our day at the Thomas the Train play area.  The boys had a great time building train tracks while I read Entrepreneur magazine in the shade.  What an awesome day!

    Pros:
    - FREE Parking!
    - Very affordable
    - Perfect for kids between the ages of 3 and 8
    - Food is eatable and not all terribly unhealthy
    - Fun rides
    - Very short lines which means you can go on the rides over and over and over and over and....
    - Petting zoo (my kids were not interested)
    - Rain tent to help cool of sweaty kids and adults alike
    - Cute shows
    - Plenty of trees, umbrellas and shaded places to sit
    - Bathrooms were clean
    - Fun game room to win prizes and spend more money if you so wish
    - Excellent for birthday parties
    - You don't have to stay all day to feel you have gotten your money's worth

    Cons:
    - They close a bit early, 5 pm
    - Only open on the weekends off season (during summer they are open every day)
    - Not suitable for older kids or adults without little kids, but boo hoo go to D-land

    Bring the little kids to this small theme park. Kids 10 and younger will appreciate Adventure City. They have little cars to ride, a kid powered train, a train that takes you around the park, a Thomas the Train play area, daily kid shows, the typical carousel, a small roller coaster, and a petting zoo.

    Spacious restrooms for families and changing areas for the little babies. The kids shows are entertaining and staff does a great job of being enthusiastic and energetic. If you don't want to pay for overpriced burgers and pizza do what my wife did, bring your own food for a picnic outside of the park at the benches.

    My 7, 5, and 3 year old had plenty fun which made for a quiet ride home.

    We've been here twice already and my son decided to have his birthday party here. We are from San Diego so all 70+ of our guests made the trip up and enjoyed themselves. They raved about how fun the park was and how the food was yummy. We booked the treehouse and 3servers and they were fantastic. Not to mention each of the staff as they were very great as well. Considering the amount of guests we had and the party package, we got a great deal. This is definitely a great place to have a birthday party or just to visit for the day.

    For under 15 bucks a person, this place is an awesome place to take kids. Total bang for your buck and we had very short waits on a Saturday afternoon. Not really sure why this place is not more packed, but that is better for the patrons.

    Funny story, while in the petting zoo, you can buy some food for the goats to feed them. Just a warning, they get a little greedy and aggressive when you have food so they tell you to keep the food low so they don't jump on you. While I was feeding a couple of them, one of them seriously cut the cheese and stunk up the area. I thought I was gonna pass out! Gee... I guess food makes them excited! haha

    BTW, they give a AAA discount!

    I recently had my youngest daughter's 3rd birthday here, and my guests and I really enjoyed the trip! We were there on an early Sunday afternoon (2pm) and the lines for the rides were not very long at all. I love that both my 3 yr.old and my 5yr old were able to get on all the rides. Also, adults could ride along, so u can join in the fun, which I did!

    The puppet show was cute and kept the kids' attention. They even called her onstage alongside other birthday children and sung happy birthday, which was great! I appreciate that they made her feel special w/ the special attention. My daughter was the engineer on the train ride around the park, which we all enjoyed and I was surprised that she wasn't scared.

    The food was pretty good, much better than I expected it to be. The staff was very polite and helpful. She got a birthday pin and t-shirt. The party package was affordable (I had a small group of 13 adults/children) and the features worked out perfectly and made the experience memorable and special.

    Like another reviewer mentioned,I would have liked for the guests to be seated before the birthday girl was taken in the party room in her "taxi", but it's not a big deal.

    We will definitely be returning when school is out! Thank you Adventure City!!!

    Our kids loved this place when they were young.  Small park, small price, short lines for each ride.  You can pretty much get on every ride in 2 hours.  Food was reasonable. Our kids love trains, and yes there is a train ride in this park.  We had a birthday party for our son here and he was able to ride with the conductor (and ring the bell).

    Have wee ones? Want a theme park adventure without the theme park price? Well head on down to adventure city. I paid $13.50 for my daughter and I to get in with a coupon. There are lots of small rides and activities. The food is inexpensive and halfway decent. The rides are meant for small children and they include everything from coasters to a ferris wheel. They have a decent puppet show every hour or so. The lines are short and the service is friendly.

    Go here for a decent time.

    My daughter LOVES LOVES this little theme park. I recommend it to everyone who has children and wants to do something fun for the weekend. Lines are bearable and food is pretty fulfilling, all at a good price.
    Entrance is $14.95 and food is around $6 each item. They have chili nachos, zucchini, burgers salads, hotdogs, curly fries, chicken tenders and etc. Oh! And the have the usual desserts: churros, cotton candy, frozen lemonade, candy, ice cream. Plus, when it gets a little chilly in the evenings you can order a Starbucks coffee :) I perfer there hot chocolate. It has a homemade kinda taste. Very soothing.
    Rides: r perfect for the children around ages 3-7. But the cool thing is that adult r also allowed. Even though you might not think it is too fast. You will definitely have fun with the family. The park is small. You might be done with the whole park in 3 hours or so.
    They also have a safety show that is very educational and a small petting zoo.
    They also have party packages that might interest you. With pizza and a free shirt.!
    Best times to go are the weekends.

    I absolutely love Adventure City! We needed a fun place to take my almost 2 year old daughter that was not as big as Disneyland but still big on fun. What a better place than Adventure City! She was able to get on so many rides: carousel (twice), giggle wheel, adventure city express train, rescue 911. We also went to the arcade, petting farm and sat in on their skit at the children's theater.  
    It's a small adventure park so no trekking from one side to the other was necessary! There were no waiting lines in any of the rides. The staff is really friendly. There's a baby changing station near the restroom. There was also a kid friendly sink we used to wash my daughter's hands. There were plenty of clean places with shade to sit and eat our lunch. Without a doubt I will be returning to Adventure City.

    My 2 1/2 year old son absolutely loved our trip to Adventure City! There was only one ride that he didn't meet the height requirement to ride... he rode about ten different rides, three or four times each. And all the rides accommodate adults, so I didn't have to send him on anything alone.

    Parking is free and very close to the park entrance. The set up very efficient... they sure pack a lot in a small area. You'll also find plenty of chairs, picnic tables and benches for resting.

    And my favorite thing about Adventure City... the line wait time was tolerable for my son, whose age prevents him from having the patience required at larger amusement parks.

    For $12.55 admission (after the AAA discount) you really can't beat it.

    I don't have kids, but if I did - I would certainly take them here.  There's plenty of rides with little or no lines!  How great is that??  Anyway, I came here for my friends' kid birthday party.  They rented out a section in the covered picnic tables area.  They were able to decorate the spot and party in it for most of day.  Parking is free and there is plenty and it was close by!  I loved that!  I guess the only thing that bothered me a little was that  the bathroom near the front entrance/party area...well, it was a little on the ghetto side and needs a major renovation.  I almost didn't want to use it but I had no choice.

    The Pepperoni Pizza and Crispy Fried Chicken Wings were pretty good here. The only thing missing was beer x_x The arcade is small, well the entire park is small (it's not camp snoopy at knott's) but kids (3 year olds) love it and it's not pricy. I came here for a close girlfriend's son's birthday and all I have to say is that I enjoyed the food and the kids had fun...

    It's a decent mini theme park for the little tykes, but overall it could use a bit more rides and maybe an expansion.  Overall though, it's quite fun for the little ones and at a fraction of the price of the bigger parks (looking at you Disneyland).  If you have kids or nieces, nephews, Adventure City would be a good stop to make when in the area.

    Yay

    A little cheesy, very campy - but perfect for ages 2-7!
    This little park caters to the little ones, and there's a picnic area right outside the park for those of you who prefer to bring your own meals.
    I would set aside at least 4-5 hours to enjoy the place at your own pace - or I should say KID'S pace(we ended up staying for about 5 hours).

I have a preschooler 3.3 yrs old and she loves it.  My hubby & I also had a lot of fun to spend 4 hours there!!!!!  We went there on weekday (Monday) when they just opened (because they close a bit early at 5 p.m. on that day.  It was quiet at first but it had more people around noon.  We were thinking to take our sweet pea to Knotts Berry Farm but thinking many rides are not suitable for her to play and my hubby kept researching online and found this gem! We never knew about this place before. Honestly, we took our daughter to Disneyland when she was under 2 but she was too small at that age and didn't know how to appreciate it.  But I could see the sparkle in her eyes when she was in the Adventure City! I couldn't believe that she wasn't scare of the little roller coaster & the Adventure Crazy Bus ride. Regular price is $14.95/person (adults & kids above 12 months) and FREE parking...so cheap & unbelievable right???  it's like you pay the price for 4 admission tickets equals to 1 admission ticket to major theme park. There are lots of small rides and activities for small children from a Merry-Go-Round to a small roller coasters.  My daughter loves the air balloon ride, airplane ride, the train ride & rescue ride.  Petting zoo was also fun. The staffs are friendly.  The price of the food & snacks are reasonable & the zucchini rings were delicious!  We will go back soon!!!! ^_^

    TIPS:
    -you can get extra admission discount if you have AAA card. It's less than $14/person.
    - no lines on weekdays and we hit several rides with several times.

    This place is definitely a place to check out if you have kids. It is a theme park designed for smaller kids.  I would guess that the best age would be somewhere between 4 and 7. Generally speaking, kids older than 9 may not find this place as fun as the other parks.

    While the park serves its purpose, I still feel that Camp Snoopy, Disneyland, and California Adventure are better picks for the smaller kids.

    Adventure City..another reason the OC is the best place to live!

    Adventure City is awesome for little kids i.e. (2-10 yr olds) since all the rides are catered to the younger set.  Surprisingly, they do have a roller coaster here that's pretty extreme for the younger age group, but most of the kids seem to enjoy the rush factor of this coaster.

    They also have a fun train ride that circles around the entire park and other rides such as the carousel, and other kiddie rides similar to what you see at Camp Snoopy at Knott's Berry Farm.

    Some kids may be interested in the petting zoo here, but beware of the stinky smell from the animals!  Yeah, I know, animals smell, so not hating on it, but some kids can tolerate the smell, whereas I'd rather not smell the animals.

    There's also a Thomas the Train play area here where your kids can assemble Thomas the train tracks and play with the many trains and playsets that are provided.  My son could spend hours in this play area.  They also sell Thomas toys here, but really, you can probably find them cheaper at Target or Walmart.

    A good thing about a smaller park is that the lines aren't that long.  You won't be waiting 2 hrs to go on a ride.  And the admission is only around $13 with *FREE* parking!  Yes, *FREE* parking.  I paid $15 to park at Six Flags Magic Mountain, which costs more than the price of admission to here!

    Overall, a fun and exciting place to spend an afternoon with your younger kids.

    As I was handed two free tickets to Adventure city, my friend says, "Here you go buddy.  Now you can take your son you cheap@$$."  I chuckled at the comment and thanked him for his kind gesture.  (I've been wanting to take my son here anyways.)

    Fast forward two weeks later, my family of three were at the front gates.  While we were waiting to be let in, I saw a bunch of kids inside running around and just basically having fun.  As the line of people slowly snaked in, I handed our tickets to the attendant.  She counted them and asked, "How old is your son?"  
    I replied, "Two".
    "Then your son will also need a ticket". she says.
    " ????????"  

    Okay people, we all know that for kids the magic number is 3, because kids under 3 normally get in for free or at some restaurants, a free meal.  But at Adventure City, the magic number is NOT 3, but 12...as in 12 MONTHS!!!   ( =/ )   So I had to pay $14 for a ticket for my son.  My wife and I were a little annoyed at first, but as the day went by, we forgot all about the stupid 12 months and over rule and just had a good time with our son.

    Adventure City is totally geared towards little kids.  Kinda like Camp Snoopy at Knott's Berry Farm, but on a lot smaller scale.  There's maybe a dozen or so rides, places to throw parties, and even a petting zoo.  All very cool if you ask me.
