5 Fun-Filled Activities To Do This Summer

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel! Summer is quickly approaching and, with vaccines steadily rolling out, we expect this summer to be much different from the last. Many places and activities throughout LA are opening back up with safety in mind, so as you start planning out your summer, check out these 5 fun and safe summer activities you can’t miss out on.

5 Fun Activities for the Summer

1. Experience the Thrill of Roller Coasters at a Theme Park

After being closed for almost a year, theme parks are finally open again to bring joy and amusement to all. From rollercoasters to delicious food, you will be in for a full day of thrill and excitement when you head to one of the many theme parks located in or near LA County. The best part is that many have opened up new attractions for its participants to enjoy! Universal Studios just recently revealed its new attraction, The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash, and even updated its Jurassic World ride. Six Flags also added a new ride called West Coast Racers to offer a new experience for thrill-seekers. It is important to note that many theme parks are operating with 25% capacity and have implemented health and safety protocols for all guests, such as temperature screenings, social distancing, and facial coverings, so make sure you do your research before heading over. ACEBSA offers members exclusive promotions and deals with discounted tickets to SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and Six Flags. Book your trip in advance and get your discounted tickets today!

2. Watch The Latest Movies In Theaters

Have you missed going to the cinema? Us too! Nothing beats a full movie theater experience: the big screen, surround sound, buttery popcorn, and cold ICEEs. But the best part about movies is the people you share the experience with, a.k.a your family and friends. After a long time of not being able to catch up, think about planning a movie trip as a way to reconnect with them while escaping the summer heat. Similar to theme parks, every theater has implemented enhanced cleaning and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of its guests; head to any of their sites to learn more about their guidelines. If you’re looking to get the full silver screen experience this summer, ACEBSA is offering to its members discounted tickets for AMC, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, and Studio Movie Grill. Check out the movie selections in theaters near you today!

3. Spend a Relaxing Day at the Beach

LA is practically synonymous with beautiful beaches and scenic coastlines. There’s Venice Beach, which is known for its famous Boardwalk filled with lively street performers, and Santa Monica Beach, well-known for its pier and fun mini amusement park. Not much farther is Malibu Beach, where you can enjoy good eats at Malibu Farms or spend the day soaking up the LA sun. Whichever beach you choose, you and your loved ones are sure to have a wonderful summer experience - because any day on the beach is a day well spent. Just don’t forget to bring your sunblock, beach balls, and face masks when you head to the beach!

4. Host a Bonfire Night with Family and Friends

What says summer more than a fun-filled bonfire night? With warm skies and good vibes, summer is the perfect time to light up a bonfire with your family and friends. Bring blankets and your favorite foods, such as hotdogs, smores, and drinks, to share with your loved ones and just enjoy a warm beach bonfire under the stars. If you’re wondering where you can (legally) host a bonfire, we recommend Dockweiler Beach, located in Playa Del Rey. This beach has over 70 bonfire pits that you can use, but they fill up fast so try to get there early to grab the best spot.

5.  Book a Summer Getaway to Catalina Island

If you're in the mood for an adventure or relaxing getaway, a day trip to Catalina Island will be perfect for you. Whether you're going to Avalon or Two Harbors, both locations offer a myriad of exciting services to cater to all age groups. Avalon offers fun interactive activities such as land tours and ocean tours, with the most popular being the Bison Expedition and Sealife Safari. Looking for more adventure? Try the Catalina Aerial Adventure, which includes a zip line eco-tour and a 32-foot climbing wall. Two Harbors also offers exciting activities such as kayaking and mountain biking.
