Im posting this as a WARNING for other women & children. I recently visited the fun zone arcade & ice cream shop with my family and encountered a creeper that followed me into the restroom. He had long hair tied in a pony tail and was dressed in a button up facility/ maintenance worker uniform with a hat on. He works there because at one point I did see him going into an employee / maintenance workers door. He followed me into the restroom and I watched him creep in quietly while I was in my stall. I stood up and screamed at him and he left. It was a very quiet and slow day and there's no security or police around. There were only a couple teenagers working the arcade and icecream shop. I wish I would've taken a picture of him so I can post him on here for you to see! I am truly sickened that this happened and I hope he doesn't do this to someone else. Always be aware of your surroundings and don't go in that...

We stayed in the area May 28th through June 2nd, 2018. The harbor is beautiful and Balboa Fun Zone was fun, small and a little limited but fun. They have a ferris wheel, a jump on a trampoline game, and a few others plus the small arcade. The arcade takes coins between .25 cents and $1.00 to play. As always the winnings are silly and you'll need at least 10 tickets to get one small candy. The ferris wheel was $4, and my kids loved it. Small but worth the ride, beautiful view from the top. The other rides are run by the Discovery cube childrens center and it cost $5 p.p. The discovery center was really great. My 3yr old loved it. The price is for all 3 areas. There are a few places to eat. One ice cream place and one with churros and funnel cake....

Happy Saturday. With the sun out finally in Newport, I have the perfect weekend spot for you today; The Fun Zone in Newport Beach! ⠀ This iconic destination is a must-visit spot and one of our coastal playgrounds. ⠀ Ferris Wheel Fun: When you visit you have to take a spin on the historic Ferris wheel, an absolute classic that provides sweeping views of the Harbor and where you can take that perfect Instagram shot. ⠀ Balboa Pavilion: Explore the charming Balboa Pavilion, a historic landmark that has welcomed visitors since 1906. You can have a cocktail and dinner and many locals have been upstairs for either their kids cotillion, or a school auction or two. ⠀ Water Fun Galore: At the Fun Zone, you can rent a jet ski or paddleboard, take a fishing trip, go whale watching, or catch the Catalina Flyer to Catalina for the day. ⠀ Arcade Adventures: From classic pinball machines to video games, my kids love to stop here on our bike rides. My favorite game is ski ball and has been for over 30 years at this same spot. ⠀ Sweet Treats and Food: Coming up on Junior Guards, the kids know the spots where they have the Junior Guard deals, hot dogs, drinks and ice cream for $5 dollars. ⠀ Balboa Ferry: the Balboa Ferry takes you from the Balboa side of the peninsula to Balboa Island and is historic icon that we’re all fighting to preserve. More on that to come soon. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #funzoneadventures #thefunzone #balboapavillion #balboaarcade #juniorguards #newportbeachferry #balboafunzone #ferriswheel #catalinaflyer #balboaarcade #duffy #agentsofcompass #balboaferry
