Choosing summer activities that the whole family will enjoy isn't always easy. One child may want to spend all day on the slides and swings at the local park. Older kids may prefer more vigorous activities. Then there's the preschooler who just seems to be excluded from everything.

The good news is you don't have to choose just one activity. One facility in Santee has all your options for fun covered.

Located at 8711 N Magnolia Ave, Santee, the Urban Jungle Fun Park combines all that and more. A mix of slides, rock walls and trampolines guarantees kids of all ages will have hours of fun.

Urban Tot

Three times a week, Urban Park offers toddlers the best play-date venue in Santee. Urban Tot is a three hour slot dedicated exclusively to kids under five and a parent to spend quality time playing together. Trampolines, foam pits, slides, interactive games help parents have fun with toddlers. The first visit is free and the frequent Player Card allows free admission after eight paid visits.

Rock Wall Climbing and Dodge Ball

For older children, this place is an Aladdin's cave of fun stuff. Fun activities like the huge five lane Mega Slide, a 50 foot long inflatable obstacle course and a 14-level 25 foot Giant Play Structure all promise hours of fun.

That's not all, this park boasts a 24 foot miniaturized sky scraper for kids to practice rock climbing. Come and experience the fun of dodge ball in their 2000 sq. ft trampoline court.

Parent Chill Zone

For parents, there are comfortable seating areas with sports on big screen TVs while they wait for their kids. Other booths have motion-sensor game stations, if they want to join in the fun and break out a sweat too.

At Urban Jungle Park, on Monday nights, families of up to 4 can all play at a discounted price. Fun at Urban Park doesn't have to be expensive. You can bring your own snacks and there are multiple discounts available. GroupOn deals and offers like the Urban Tot, guarantee that you spend less and still have hours of fun.

With dedicated party rooms, friendly staff on hand to act as hosts, pizza and drinks, what better way to celebrate a birthday with minimal stress? The venue is also available to rent for high school grad nights, summer camps, youth group activities and all kinds of holiday parties.

With all this fun to be had by the entire family, it's no wonder this venue was nominated by San Diego Family Magazine as one of the best places in San Diego for "Kids to Break a Sweat" and the "Best Kids indoor Fun Park".
