Adventure Playground — Attraction in Huntington Beach

The photos are more spectacular than actual experience. I am giving 3 stars because for much of the time the kids had fun. The rafts in the 9 inches of water was fun for my boys. There is a good amount of shade to hang out it with about 5 picnic tables. The water slide/mud slide doesn't really slide, possibly due to them having to wear shoes. The slide is only open every 1/2 hour about. My 7 year old who has experience with hammering nails was on top of the building structure and stepped on a nail that was pierced through a thin piece of wood and it went through his shoe into the heal of his shoe. The person working the area with the forts and nails wasn't very helpful when I asked if they had hydrogen peroxide. I had to walk my 4 year old over to the shack where they take your money & sell snacks and ask if they had it. They expected me to bring my child over to the shack, when he couldn't walk, so they then decided to bring the medical supplies to him, which was only 20 ft away. They need to do a better job of checking the area for wood with nails poking up. I will not bring my boys back here, once was more than enough. It was a 25 min drive from where we live and paying $4 a kid, it just wasn't worth it. I'd rather take them to Gum Grove to run around in the trees in Seal Beach, or go to the beach. I would recommend ages 4-8. Anyone older can't do much and the rafts don't hold more than 70ish lbs. I agree the port a potties are disgusting and 1 was out of order leaving 1 working. I do hope you have a better experience, but like I said, 1 time was...

We had an absolute blast at Adventure Playground! It’s a charming, smaller park tucked up a short hill, packed with creative and active play opportunities. There’s a shallow pond with inner tubes and paddles, a plastic-lined mudslide (more of a safe water slide than true mud), and a rope bridge that crosses part of the pond—huge hit with the kids!

There are also elevated, treehouse-like platforms with large blocks for fort-building, climbing structures, chalk boards for drawing, and dirt tables for sensory play. Tons of space to run around, and plenty of shaded picnic tables and chairs for relaxing.

Need-to-knows:

Entry is $4 per child.

They accept card and cash.

Closed-toed shoes are required and must stay on at all times.

You can bring your own food, and there are lots of spots to sit and eat.

Two shower heads for rinsing off and several changing stalls available.

Porta-potties are inside the gate; flushing toilets are near the parking lot.

Snacks are sold on-site.

I saw seven staff members the day we went—all super attentive and engaged. We knocked over a tub of water in a water fight. Mid water fight brave staff entered the fray to refill our bucket despite other buckets being around. 😆

A large day camp (about 20 kids) showed up while we were there, and it still didn’t feel overcrowded or chaotic.

Hope this place stays around for years—it’s a gem for active, messy,...

Hey internet, its your boy rafael back at it again with another review. For those who dont know me i rate these kind of places on 4 categories; parking, food, restrooms, and experience. So lets get straight to the chase my guy. Parking 4/5 Plenty of parking outside the library fam. Food 2/5 The usual snackshack snacks sold at the shack compadre, nothin special. Restrooms 1/5 They provide everyone with two port o potties. They smell like booty and cheetos and are very dirty. Experience 2/5 The little mud pool they let the kids play in smells like raccoon feces and the only other activity they have is letting the kids "build" forts with nails and hammers and oversized peices of reclaimed wood completely unnattended. Very sad excuse for an "adventure land". The teenagers and young adults who run it seem like they hate being there. Every ten minutes there is always a problem between two kids and it gets uncomfortable. Just overall a definite pass. Trust me fam you arent missing anythin. Yall got 99 problems, but dont let this place be one.
