Fun Capital of California

Anaheim in California is home to some of the greatest entertainment venues in the state. Disneyland, Angels Baseball, Ducks Hockey, House of Blues and The Grove. There is something for everyone, a place where the whole family will find exiting experiences.

Top 7 Things To Do in Anaheim, California 

This is supposed to be a top-10 list but I'm still working on it. You're welcome to make suggestions.
  • Of course, no visit is complete without a day or 2 in Disneyland
  • Stroll down Downtown Disney and down some ice cream or pretzels
  • If you like Baseball, be sure to watch the Anaheim Angels (actually the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) in their awesome Angel Stadium (formerly called Edison International Field)
  • If (Ice) Hockey is your thing, head over to the Honda Center (formerly "the Pond", "Arrowhead Pond") to catch a games of the Anaheim Ducks (formerly known as Mighty Ducks of Anaheim).
  • The House of Blues is the venue of choice for world class entertainers. Be sure to check out their schedule of performances and concerts.
  • Look at what's happening at The Grove. Lively concerts, outrageous comedy, this is a unique experience.
  • Out of town tourists with an extra day to spare should consider a visit to the California Adventure, a Theme Park next to Disneyland. It's sorta, kinda part of Disneyland, but it's a separate park and as such, costs additional admission fee.
  • There's more, I think...? A romantic stroll down Harbor Boulevard? Ok, maybe not a brilliant idea. Any suggestions?

Tips to maximize your vacation time

So many things to do in Anaheim, and so little time to do them.

Get the most out of your visit to Anaheim by flying to Orange County (SNA) instead of Los Angeles (LAX). Smaller airport + central location = More time to spend enjoying your vacation!

Choose a hotel centrally located to the attractions of Anaheim, like Disneyland, Angels Stadium, Honda Center, and yes, the Beaches of Orange County!!!
