i know i post this every year, but this is seriously one of my kiddies favorite places to go! we are very excited that Adventure Playground is open for the summer! a mud park for kids in Huntington Beach.
here are pictures from one of our trips a few years ago, in case you missed it:
we went to Adventure Playground in Huntington Beach. paradise for kids who like to get dirty, play in the mud or build things. i have been trying to take my boys there since last year. and i actually remember going when i was little.
so, we finally made it to Adventure Playground. i wasn’t sure what to expect because i couldn’t find much info about it on the internet. but you should have seen my boys eyes when we arrived. rope bridges, mud slide, tire zip line, forts to build with tools, a lake with rafts to float around on. just like Tom Sawyer. little boy heaven…..although there were even more girls there.
we got there around 1:00 when all the day camps were leaving. the weather was great…not to hot. i guess this june gloom lasting into july can have benefits once in awhile. it cost $3 per child…a great deal! we went with a small group of friends and enjoyed ourselves for almost 3 hours.
this is the pond where you can float around and balance on a raft. it is not deep at all, maybe 2 feet. this was the little ones favorite activity.
