Balboa Fun Zone Newport Beach

One of California's oldest and greatest coastal

amusement parks, the Balboa Fun Zone is a great 

place for your entire family.  With plenty for the

entire family to do, the Fun Zone can make the

time just fly by.

Perfectly situated on the Balboa Peninsula along 

Newport Beach, the Balboa Fun Zone has always 

managed to rival with top amusement park giants such

as Sea World, Disneyworld, and even Belmont Park.

For more than 50 years, the Fun Zone in Newport 

Beach has provided people with something to do either

day or night.  Residents of the area and those who

have visited in the past can recall the big name

bands and loud music that streamed from the infamous

Rendezvous Ballroom.

From basking on the sandy yet pristine beaches to 

exploring the Fun Zone areas, you'll quickly find that

there's always something to do here.  You can go out

on the Balboa Pier as well, which was built in 1912 as

a way to go from Balboa to Catalina Island. The pier is

also one of the few to survive the well known yet

destructive coastal storms California endured during 

the 1980's.

Those of you looking for adventure and travel would

enjoy the Catalina Flyer, which is actually one hour

to Catalina Island.  The island ferry at Balboa Island

only costs a buck or so, yet it takes you to the well

known Catalina Island.  

One of the biggest attractions here is the well known

Fun Zone ferris wheel.  Since 1936, this wheel has proved

to be a night and day landmark at the Fun Zone, calling

out to all to enjoy the fun.  If you've ever been on

a ferris wheel, you know just how much fun they can 

actually be.

In 1986, the Fun Zone was rebuilt completely from the

ground up, adding to the already fun and exciting 

environment here.  The ferris wheel, bumper cars, arcades,

and everything else here make the Fun Zone so much

fun for everyone who decides to pay it a visit.

After you've had experienced a few of the rides and

attractions, you can get some food at one of the many

vendors or restaurants, then enjoy a cruise on the

harbor.  Young or old, the Balboa Fun Zone in Newport

Beach can help you relieve those precious memories

from when you were a child.

If you plan to visit California and you want something

fun to do, make sure you visit the Fun Zone.  There are

plenty of things to see in the area as well, making the

Fun Zone an absolute treasure.  With no cost for 

admission, the Fun Zone is one area of Newport Beach 

that you don't want to pass by.
