Aqua Adventure 

The park convenient located in Fremont and conveniently located about 10 minutes away from either the 680 or 880 Freeway.

At the time of the writing, general admission (for those who are over 48" in height) is $17.99 and junior admission (under 48") is $12.99. Please check the website for updated pricing and any specials.

I would highly recommend renting a 10'x10' cabana as it includes food service. You would to order the food service in the 3-day advance. By going this route, you can avoid the long food lines. 

Also, it would is a nice retreat and great resting area especially if you have toddlers that occasionally need some rest and relaxation.  Of course, it might be a refuge for one parent as the other wade in the pool with the children.  It is worth the money.

Santa Cruz Beach Broadwalk 

Santa Cruz Beach and Broadwalk has everything for everybody.  For the young, there are rides tailored for children from the young and old.  Teenagers will venture on the coasters while the young can experience some of the tamer rides.  The entire family will enjoy an ride on the historical carousel which has been in operation since 1911. Another family favorite is the Sky Glider as the ride spans the length of the park allowing you a great overview of all the attractions.

For those that just want to relax, there are miles of beach where you can pitch your gear to sit and relax on the nice warm sand.  Many families pack their lunch or purchase food from the many food vendors located along the boardwalk.  

Overall, you and your family will be able to enjoy and relax.  You will not be disappointed.

Hugs are Important !!!

I Need Hugs!
Sometimes
We all just need
A big hug from a friend.
It is great to know that they're here
And they will stay there for you forever.
Every time something bad happens
My loyal friends are there.
I need some hugs.
Sometimes.
