Balboa Fun Zone

Located on the Balboa Peninsula in affluent Newport Beach, this little park has a Ferris wheel, saloons, shops, and a boutique hotel. It was built in 1936, but has obviously undergone plenty of changes, such as installing an 18-foot bungee jump and three rides with an ocean theme. The Fun Zone is open from 11 AM to 8 PM every day, but stays open later on weekends. With Newport Beach weather, you can be almost guaranteed with sunny and temperate days. (Submitted by Brenda Rios)
