Balboa Fun Zone AMUSEMENT PARK
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.thebalboafunzone.com ; 600 E Bay Ave; Ferris wheel 11am-8pm Sun-

Thu, to 9pm Fri, to 10pm Sat)
On the harbor side of Balboa Peninsula, the Fun Zone has delighted locals and visitors
since 1936. There's a small Ferris wheel ($4 per ride, where Ryan and Marissa shared their
first kiss on The OC ), arcade games, touristy shops and restaurants, and frozen banana
stands (just like the one in the TV sit-com Arrested Development ). The landmark 1905
Balboa Pavilion ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) is beautifully illuminated at night.
