Disney California Adventure Park is the second theme park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, and it sits across from its better-known neighbour. Locals and fans often call it DCA or California Adventure. Its address is 1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802, and the park's phone line is +1-714-781-4636.
The park is built around the history and culture of California. Rather than a single storyline, it moves from one themed area to the next, each reflecting a different side of the state. That makes it a good choice for visitors who want the Disneyland Resort experience with a distinct character of its own.
What to see
- Cars Land, a rendition of a desert town drawn from the Cars films, where the scenery is the main attraction.
- Guardians of the Galaxy, a ride-based attraction inspired by the Marvel characters.
- Pixar Pier, a waterfront area with a seaside feel and a range of rides and attractions.
Planning your visit
The park works well as a full day, and it pairs naturally with a visit to Disneyland next door, since both are part of the same resort. Because the areas are spread out, it helps to choose the rides and areas you most want to see before you arrive. For the latest hours, ticket options and any changes, call the park directly at +1-714-781-4636 before you go.
Anaheim itself offers hotels, dining and easy access from the rest of Southern California, so the park can be the centre of a short or extended stay in the area.
