    Weekend Events for Families in Orange County (Updated 2021)

    Weekend Events for Families in Orange County

    Weekend Events for Families in Orange County - April 10 & 11, 2021. Here are some fun things to do in Orange County this weekend. I've included all events that I could find. You will have to decided if they are Covid-friendly or safe for your family to attend. All the events on this list are happening here in the OC this Saturday and Sunday...some are even FREE!

    (To submit your event, email jillparkin@gmail.com by the Wednesday before your event.)

    Things to Do in Orange County This Weekend

    Knott's Taste of Boysenberry Festival
    Knott's Berry Farm | All Day
    Guests can catch a taste of the popular springtime Boysenberry Festival at Knott’s Taste of Boysenberry Festival. The retail and food event will offer boysenberry-inspired savory bites, sweet treats, and refreshing drinks that can’t be found anywhere else. While the theme park remains closed, the food and merchandise-focused outdoor event offers over 80 boysenberry-infused food and drink items which are included on the event tasting card. Guests can also shop from a wide variety of boysenberry-inspired merchandise including event apparel, kitchenware, and pre-packaged take-home sweets. Over 20 artisan local crafters will offer unique boysenberry items.

    Orange County Farmers Markets
    All Over OC | Times Vary
    Check out this list of all the farmers markets happening on Orange County.

    Family-Friendly Tide Pools in the OC
    Beaches in Orange County
    Check out this list of the best family-friendly tide pools in Orange County.

    Playtime with Baby Goats
    Goods and Goat Market | All Day
    Come by the farm and enjoy it's beauty and charm. Cuddle, brush, and sit with the Baby Goats. Watch and feed the Chickens. Don't forget my Puppies, Indigo Blue and Tuffy Tufferton. They can't wait to greet and play with you. Kids can play in the sand box with our Tonka Truck Collection and ride our old fashion seesaw. Bird House Paint Kits $10 are a must.

    Niguel Botanical Preserve
    Crown Valley Community Park | All Day
    If you are looking for a scenic, family friendly nature experience, then the Niguel Botanical Preserve in Laguna Niguel is a great place to check out. Niguel Botanical Preserve is 18.2-acre of beauty, situated above the amphitheater within Crown Valley Community Park (which is a great park I might add). It displays garden-worthy plants appropriate to the Southern California region. All of these plants were collected from five areas of the world with similar Mediterranean climates. I believe that this is one of the best botanical gardens in Orange County.

    U-Pick Wagon Rides
    Tanaka Farms | All Day
    Make dinner tonight with fruits and vegetables that YOU PICKED! Spend some outdoor time with members of your household at Tanaka Farms by joining one of our safe and educational U-PICK ACTIVITIES! We are currently offering U-Pick Wagon Rides daily. This tour lasts about 1 hour.

    Bloom On!
    The Flower Fields in Carlsbad | 9:00am - 6:00pm
    Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year – from early March through early May – literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

    Donut Life Museum
    Westminster Mall  | Times Vary
    Get ready to experience donuts in a whole new way! We are Orange County's newest donut experience that captures moments in life through the creative world of donuts.
