    101 Things to do with Kids in Orange County

    Fun Things to Do With Kids in Orange County List{Updated June 2019}

    Summer is here and the kids are home! but don't worry, there are plenty of things for kids to do in Orange County to keep them from whining and saying "i'm bored!"  to make things easier on you parents and caretakers, i have created a list of 101 Kid-friendly Things to do in Orange County (there are actually 132 on this list).

    some of these activities are FREE or low cost...some are pricey. plan out your favorites accordingly and get out into the sunshine with those kiddies. i have found that getting out once a day helps my sanity, so i make an effort to take the kids somewhere during the day...even if it is just the park or the front yard to ride bikes.

    Don't forget to follow the  Sandy Toes and Popsicles Facebook Page for daily updates of events happening in Orange County – such as library and park events, free local events and more.

    NOW go have some fun!!!!!!!

Plus, gotta check out some of those nature centers!

      As a parent originally from Huntington, but who has been living in North Dakota, I'm excited to bring my kids back to California to show them some of the things I did growing up. We don't go until July but your site has given me a great place to start. They are 8 and 10 and they are boys and they just love being active. Can't wait to post on here after the trip to see how much fun we've had.

      Thank you for these ideas. I am sitting here on a Saturday morning trying to figure out what to do with my boys and I find this! I do want to add that there is a Vans skatepark in Huntington Beach-on Center Ave. And unfortunately the Rainforest Cafe is not in South Coast anymore. The closest is by Disneyland.

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE all these wonderful summer ideas as well as your entire blog. It's great! I bookmarked your blog, so that I can turn to this page when trying to entertain my three boys too! (16, 7, and 2) they are all different ages, all different wants/needs....so it can be challenging doing something they all enjoy, and your blog has given me some fantastic ideas! Thanks again......Have a wonderful rest of your summer with your beautiful boys! Look forward to all your posts!

        Yay for boys!!!! I hope that you all have a fun summer and get to do all the fun things in southern California. Of course our favorite is the tidepools, and Knott's Berry Farm too.

      Awesome list Jill! Wish I had little ones to give me an excuse to visit some of these locations. I guess I will have to rent more kids for the summer! 😉

      Unfortunately, #38 may be closed while the new Improv is being built. We loved taking our boys to the turtle splash pad/fountains at The Spectrum on hot days. I hope they keep it around after the Improv finishes up!

        The turtle fountain is gone. Irvine Spectrum has a small water play area near the Target store
