Charlize Theron spent some time at "The Happiest Place on Earth" with her rarely seen daughter, Jackson Theron.
Charlize Theron and her daughter were guided by a VIP host.
The Dark Places actress, 50, was in full mom mode as she accompanied the 13-year-old and her friends during a trip to the California amusement park on Saturday, September 6.
The mother-duo took on a thrilling log ride.
The group was escorted by a VIP tour guide during the sunny outing, taking time to brave “Tiana's Bayou Adventure,” a thrilling Princess and the Frog themed-log-ride featuring a steep drop.
As the log plunged down the slope, Charlize could be seen bravely waving her arms in the air as her daughter, seated in front of her, held onto the handlebars for security.
Charlize was dressed casually for the occasion, wearing an oversized white T-shirt, light-washed denim capri pants and Adidas sneakers. She completed the lowkey look with a black baseball cap and thick cat-eye sunglasses.

Theron’s daughter matched her mother’s vibe, wearing a red graphic T-shirt and black shorts. In one photo, the mother-daughter duo could be seen enjoying some chill time in between the rides, with Charlize enjoying a refreshing chilled beverage and her daughter a churro.
Charlize is the mother of two daughters. She adopted her daughter, Jackson, in 2012. Three years later, Theron expanded her family when she adopted her youngest child, August Theron, in 2015.

In 2018, the actress explained why adoption was important to her, telling Elle Magazine, “I was always aware that there are so many children in this world who don’t have families.”
“Adoption is a very personal thing — I know people whom I love dearly who don’t feel that they could raise another child as their own. I respect that,” she explained. “I want them to know who they are, and I want them to be so f------- proud of who they are. Building confidence for them right now is an oath I made to myself when I brought them home. They need to know where they come from and be proud of that.”

That same year, she explained how growing up during the apartheid era in South Africa exposed her to orphanages and children in need at a young age.
"Even when I was in relationships, I was always honest with my partners, that adoption was how my family would look one day," Theron told People. "This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first."
