Scooops Kid Spa
12681 Harbor Blvd.
Garden Grove, CA 92840
Price: $44.99 to $74.99
This ice cream-themed kids spa is conveniently located in the family-friendly Great Wolf Lodge Resort. Your daughter will love choosing her own “flavor” lotion and body scrub–chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry–while she kicks her feet up in a sundae-inspired chair. Each nail treatment comes with a bottle of non-toxic polish to take home for touch-ups, as well as a voucher for a free ice cream cone following your service. Parties are an option, too. You don't need to be staying at the resort to indulge, and in fact the bowling alley and glow-in-the-dark mini-golf are also available to non-hotel guests. Just don't chip a nail!
