In Orange County, Southern California, Anaheim draws visitors and tourists from around the world. Much of the tourism to this city of 350,000 people comes from the "happiest place on Earth" located in Anaheim, also known as Disneyland Resort. Featuring both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, Disneyland Resort is truly a magical place for kids to explore. With places like Main Street U.S.A., Tomorrowland, and all new Star Wars interactive villages, parents tend to enjoy their time at Disney as well.
Anaheim has a lot to offer besides Disneyland. The nearby Anaheim GardenWalk invites shopping, dining, and live music during the day and at night. The Anaheim Packing District is another happening spot to visit, particularly the recently reinvented Anaheim Packing House Food Hall. Of equal culinary and shopping interest, the neighboring Center Street Promenade features the best local shops Anaheim has to offer.
Anaheim is also home to two professional sports teams, the Anaheim Angels and Anaheim Ducks, and whether you are a baseball or hockey fan, the energizing experience of being part of the crowd is fun for everyone. For those looking to enjoy some Southern California sunshine, large open spaces like Yorba Regional Park tend to draw a crowd, and the Oak Canyon Nature Center provides easy hiking paths to ditch the crowds. Plan your sightseeing with our list of the top things to do in Anaheim, CA.
