Adventure City is a great option for families with small children. All rides are geared to "little people" so your kids can ride to their hearts content. Although it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the other Anaheim amusement parks it also is much more affordable and not so overwhelming. They also offer great services for children's birthday parties.

This is definitely a theme park for thrill seekers. With its HUGE array of roller coasters of all types you can't go wrong if you love to get whipped around in all directions. This is not a place for the faint of heart. Downsides include huge crowds (long long lines), predominantly teenagers, and the fact that it gets very hot in the summer.
