Adventures In Orange County



Not in the mood to fly all the way to D.C.? As you can see above, you can visit the White House right here... in The O.C.

We discovered Southern California's own mini-White House this weekend, while taking Evan to Adventure City in Anaheim. Located on Beach Blvd., down the street from Knotts Berry Farm, Adventure City is a mini-amusement park geared toward kids under the age of 8.

We were there for a birthday party, and at first Evan was a bit leery of the rides. (At 13 months, he's on the cusp of getting it.) After a few rides, he started to really have some fun and even demanded to ride a mini ferris wheel twice. The park includes a mini train (a la Travel Town), a petting zoo, puppet and magic shows, a carousel and ten other rides. Most of the rides are designed so you can hop aboard with your toddler.



As for the Faux White House, the building holds a doll museum. Uh-huh. It's part of the "Hobby City" complex, which includes several unusual hobby-themed stores and attractions, and sits right next to Adventure City. Nah, we passed on actually going inside.
