Camp Snoopy is just one part of Knott's Berry Farm - America's very first theme park. Chances are the 'rents have already been to Knott's Berry but they'll definitely be willing to go back with you. There are tons of rides, a water park and there are always great shows to watch throughout the park. The coolest part is that your ticket to Knott's Berry Farm includes an All-You-Can-Eat BBQ!

Los Angeles - Six Flags Magic Mountain

Home to the largest collection of xtreme roller coasters on the planet, Six Flags Magic Mountain is not an amusement park for the faint of heart.

Then, when you're teetering on the brink of hurling up all that cotton candy you've been eating all day, take a break from the roller coasters and check out the brand new Batman Begins Stunt Show! Get up-close-and-personal with the special effects used in the blockbuster movie - and check out the one and only Batmobile.
