Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive right when they open on weekends (9 AM Saturday, 10 AM Sunday) to beat the crowds and enjoy shorter wait times at popular attractions
- 2.Bring swimwear and towels for kids to enjoy the water play area,having a change of clothes prevents a soggy car ride home
- 3.Purchase combo packages or unlimited play wristbands if you're planning to stay more than 2 hours; they offer better value than paying per attraction
- 4.The batting cages have multiple speed settings, so even younger players can safely participate,ask staff to set appropriate speeds for your child's skill level

Best Time to Visit
Weekday afternoons (Tuesday-Thursday, 2-5 PM) offer the smallest crowds and most comfortable experience. Summer evenings after 7 PM are ideal for avoiding peak heat while still enjoying all attractions. Avoid Saturday afternoons when birthday parties and crowds peak.
What to Know
Attractions are priced individually or available in money-saving combo packages; most families spend $40-80 depending on activities chosen. On-site snack bar offers pizza, hot dogs, and drinks, though options are limited. Ample free parking available, and the facility is stroller-accessible though you'll need to park strollers during most activities.
Seasonal Notes
The water play area operates seasonally, typically Memorial Day through September, weather permitting. Summer months (June-August) see peak crowds but offer the full experience. Holiday periods like spring break can be busy. Call ahead in cooler months to confirm water features are operational if that's a priority for your visit.

In-N-Out Burger is less than a mile away on State College Boulevard for a classic California burger experience kids love. For sit-down dining, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (about 1.5 miles away) offers an extensive kids menu, pizza, and a relaxed family atmosphere.
