Step inside a room at one of the nice hotels Irvine has in store for you and then step out into the fresh air and have some fun. There are some nice parks in the area that will guarantee a fine day spent outside. Currently there is the Preview Park that is featuring The Great Park Balloon. This is a helium balloon that takes on passengers to soar hundreds of feet of the ground giving breathtaking views of the park and its surrounding area. They have recently updated the balloon and it should be ready to serve for a few years now. There have been over 100,000 people who have been lifted up in the previous balloon.
There are some other great experiences to see and do. Kooza by Cirque du Soleil will be in hosted at the park through February 14 2010. The story KOOZA is about an innocent loner who is trying to find his place in the world. As in outstanding Cirque du Soleil fashion the story is told with acrobatics, clowning costumes and brilliant lights and music. It is a special feature not to be missed. Other shows that come to the park are summer concerts featuring all styles of music from all over the world. There is also a Comedy Corner that has been a real hit with the locals.
There is a new section of the Great Park that is still under construction and you can see the plans at the Preview Park. They are converting the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station into and extension of the park. There will be a man-made lake and agricultural farming areas, plenty of gardens and wildlife areas and also a sports park to enjoy. They have done a special homecoming for the marines and their families who were here when it was a functioning base. They had the opportunity to give oral histories as well as public histories. They will continue to honor the site in the future building of the park.
