You’ve got lots of options for water fun. Try them both! Knott’s Soak City and Wild Rivers both offer a day at the beach without the sand. Both have tube slides, wave pools and long, lazy rivers. 2. Give a little Let your children select the charity and then have a bake sale; or run a lemonade stand, and donate a portion of the proceeds to their charity of choice. volunteercenter.org 3. Light up Heat up the night with a trip to the Laserium CyberTheater in Hollywood for a laser light show your family will love! After 28 years at the Griffith Park Observatory, the Laserium’s new digs are located on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. 4. Pack a perfect picnic Pick your favorite beach, pack a picnic and the sunscreen, and hit the sand. You’ve got lots of real estate to choose from. From Huntington Beach to San Clemente, Orange County’s coastline spans 42 miles. 5. Go island hopping Cross the bridge onto Balboa Island, and you’ll be transported to a Martha’s Vineyard-type setting. Stroll the quaint shops on Marine Avenue and then take the ferry across the water to the Balboa Fun Zone. 50 SUPER SUMMER ACTIVITIES #1 – 5  |  #6 – 10  |  #11 – 15  |  #16 – 20  |  #21 – 25 #26 – 30  |  #31 – 35  |  #36 – 40  |  #41 – 45  |  #46 – 50
