so i'm no noob to the socal area, for the last little while i've made the trip in the summer to come down to socal for a week or 2, and usually do all the normal stuff tourists would:

-disneyland/6flags/universal etc etc.

I'll be down there again aug 22, and was wondering if there was something of a "hidden gem" that we might be missing out on there.

Of course we still plan to do the parks again as some friends are coming as well that have never experienced it, but on the other days i'm looking to do some other activities as well. this mostly includes:

1)golf (around OC area, foothill ranch)
2)go karting (my gf and i love the go karts!)

of course we are also open to any suggestions for any fun activities that socal has to provide, so shoot em my way!

thanks everyone

This is all I can think of now. You can find locations through google. Enjoy!

 

Wow someone else on here knows about steamers???? Red Flame and I used to hit that up on sunday nights wayyyyyyyyyyy back in the days

 

PS--- if you are single and into cougar hunting then hitup FOXFIRE in anaheim

 

Ra Sushi is a cool place if you like the atmosphere but strictly food it is terrible.

 

But $1 sake

 

we definately try to hit in n out as much as we can, my favorite spot.

Anyone know of any good value golf courses nearest to foothill ranch? i do try to check the click4teetimes/savesomegreen etc for decent rates, but im just wondering if theres something im missing too. And what about karting, i saw the ad for k-1 karting in irvine...is it worth the dough?

 

how is that place... nice view?

 

I think you should try out the David Baker course in OC, thats a short course with good prices. (Par 3)

I had a blast there last time! There driving range stinks though! GL!

 

Some of the servers are nice though
