Family travelers and locals alike will want to take advantage of a new adventure playground in Santa Ynez Valley. Highline Adventures, a popular outdoor adventure, changes the game for families with young kids with its new Skynet Playground.

 

Skynet Playground is the first-of-its-kind, outdoor adventure playground in California, built for children as young as 2 years old.

 

Little adventurers can run around a colorful netted zone featuring 10 enclosed adventure spaces perfect for safe climbing, jumping and motor skill development. Thanks to the nets, parents have the chance to relax while their young ones safely play and get their energy out … or decide to join in on the fun. Older children can head over to the main part, Highline Adventures, for a variety of thrilling courses and challenges.

 

The adventure park is just a short, scenic drive up the coast from Los Angeles, Ocean County and Anaheim, making it the perfect daytrip for travelers looking for a unique adventure. Families also don’t have to worry about breaking the bank thanks to its affordable pricing. For just $25, they’ll get 90 minutes of fun, as well as access to Kids Jump Time and a newly extended ropes course for returning guests and older kids.
