Atlantis Play Center

Atlantis Play Center is an oldie but definitely a goodie!! My hubby went there as a child and now he is able to relive his childhood by taking our kiddos.

Atlantis Park is located in the city of Garden Grove and is a city park designed specifically for kiddos. People come from all over Southern California to enjoy the slides and other old school fun. THE BEST PART IS THAT ADULTS ARE NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT KIDS AND KIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT ADULTS!! you can breathe a sigh of relief and relax a little with the kids.

Kids will have a blast here playing on the concrete animals or sliding down the sea serpent slide. All of the other expected playground amenities are here as well, from swings to climbers. There are plenty of areas for picnicking under the trees and a picnic area for parties or large groups. The park is enclosed and the kiddos can roam around in a safe area.

The Atlantis Play Center is located at:

Garden Grove Strawberry Festival

The Garden Grove Strawberry Festival will be celebrating it’s 50th anniversary May 23-26th. The Festival features a parade, carnival rides, games, live entertainment, contests (including a cutest baby contest), food booths and of course yummie strawberries.This year’s Grand Marshall will be Academy Award Winner Martin Landau. The festival is a fantastic family event and the best part is that proceeds from the festival benefit local charities. The Strawberry Festival has raised over $4.2 million for local organizations, including the Police and Fire Departments, Boys and Girls Club, Acacia Day Care Center for the frail elderly, The Assistance League and many others. I’m hoping that my family can make it out to this great event.
