Top Family Kids in California

I recommend hitting the less popular rides first thing, like the Matterhorn or the Alice in Wonderland ride. The lines build up quickly, but they’re way worth it.

Don't miss the nighttime shows! Find a good spot an hour before. We learned the hard way after getting stuck way at the back. Better to be early and up close!

I suggest looking for deals on parking before you go. I parked near the entrance, but if you walk a bit further, you can find free spots that save you a few bucks.

Look for the scheduled showtimes. I almost missed an awesome show because I was too focused on rides. Make a mini-schedule!

Check the app for ride wait times. It was super helpful for planning which rides to hit next without wasting time standing around.

Look for nearby parking spaces, as the lot can fill up fast. I parked a couple of blocks away to save a few bucks; it was a quick walk but worth it

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The playground is bigger than it looks and there's a lot of space to explore, so your feet will thank you later!

I think you should check out the seasonal events. They sometimes have fun activities for kids, and you might get lucky with a free treat or two!

Check the weather before heading out—if it’s windy bring a jacket! The open spaces can get chilly especially in the late afternoon.
