The O.C. might be known for its beach culture and “real” housewives, but it’s also a great place for a family getaway (hold the sigh\u2014we’re not talking Disneyland).<\/p>\n

Rich in agricultural history (“Orange County” comes from the acres of orange trees that once grew here) and teeming with marine life, the area is a “magic kingdom” in its own right, with myriad family-approved activities, from farm tours to pirate ships, that it likes to show off once in a while. Here, the ten best family-friendly activities in Orange County.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Tanaka Farms\u00a0|<\/strong>\u00a05380 University Drive, Irvine | tanakafarms.com
\n<\/a>Kid-Tested: <\/strong>What kid wouldn’t love piling into a\u00a0old-fashioned wagon to be pulled (by tractor, of course) around the 30-acre farm to strawberry patches (in spring) or watermelon patches (summer). Come fall it’s all about corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and harvest activities, and the farm sells gorgeous trees Christmas time.
\nParent-Approved:<\/strong>\u00a0It’s always a bonus when the kids can learn while they play. Plus,\u00a0Nobody goes home hungry. The tours include several delicious sample stations, undoubtedly to keep the kids happy between farming facts.
\nDetails: <\/strong>Wagon tours run regularly on weekends throughout the summer (no reservations required). During the week in spring and summer, call ahead to make tour reservations. Tours cost\u00a0$17 per person (kids two and under ride free). Pumpkin patch tours are self-guided, but fees may apply for some of the fall festivities.
\nDirections:<\/strong>\u00a0Take bus #86 to Alton-Jeffrey, then #175 bus to Michelson-Jordan East, and it’s a short walk from there.<\/p>\n

3. Eco Zipline Tour\u00a0|<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0Hog’s Back, Catalina Island\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>catalinachamber.com<\/a>\u00a0
\n<\/a>Kid-Tested:\u00a0<\/strong>Forget roller coasters. Your little adventurer will love the thrill of soaring over\u00a0Catalina Island, just 22 miles off the coast of Orange County. The tour starts in the hills and descends through the canyon, ending at Descanso Beach with, weather permitting, a bit of fun in the sun to round out the day.
\nParent-Approved:\u00a0<\/strong>It’s theme-park-style adrenaline in a stunning natural setting, and each of the five separate ziplines includes a stop at an eco-station, where hosts will discuss the environmental and cultural history of the Island and the places you zip through.
\nDetails:\u00a0<\/strong>Tours run year-round and cost $109 per person during low season (September through mid-May) and $120 during the summer months. Children under 5 are too young to partake, and those between the ages of 5 and 9 must tandem ride with a parent.
\nDirections:\u00a0<\/strong>Take bus #53 to Main-Redhill, then #71 to Balboa-Adams. Walk to the Newport Beach ferry and board the Catalina Flyer to get to the island.<\/p>\n

8. Captain Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Safari\u00a0|<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>24440 Dana Point Harbor Drive, Dana Point\u00a0|<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0dolphinsafari.com<\/a>\u00a0
\n<\/a>Kid-Tested:\u00a0<\/strong>No matter your age, there’s a certain thrill when you spot your first majestic ocean species, bobbing gracefully in the vast sea. Although the crew can’t guarantee you’ll spot whales, the kiddies are sure to see amazing creatures and learn about the importance of conservation on this marine safari. They can also catch\u00a0underwater views, listen in on the ship’s hydrophone, and get hands-on at the touch station of whale and dolphin artifacts.
\nParent-Approved:<\/strong>\u00a0Captain Dave doesn’t just talk the talk\u2014he walks the walk too. The dolphin and whale expert has spoken out (he was featured on the Ellen Degeneres show) about the risks that whales and other charismatic megafauna face every day in our oceans.

Walk the tidepools with your kids, or take a book and sunbathe as you watch them play from afar.
\nParent-Approved: <\/strong>Kid-friendly as it is, the beach also has easy waves, making it relatively kid-proof, so that you can sunbathe as you watch them play. If the family is up for exploring the area, Little Corona is just a short walk from Big Corona, where waves are usually bigger, and Pirate’s Cove, where craggy cliffs surround an isolated lagoon.
\nDetails:<\/strong> The beach is free to visit and open from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. daily.
