Anaheim is a city in Southern California, in Orange County, and it is best known as the home of Disneyland Resort, which includes Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. For many visitors, it is the natural base for a family holiday in the region, and the city has built much of its visitor life around that purpose.
What a visit offers
- The theme parks. Disneyland Resort is the main draw, with two parks side by side.
- Sport. You can catch an Angels baseball game or a Ducks hockey game, a good option if you want a change of pace from the parks.
- Food. The Anaheim Packing District brings together several food halls, a pleasant place for a meal between activities.
- The coast. Nearby beaches are within easy reach, so a day by the sea can fit alongside a visit to the parks.
Because the parks, the stadiums and the food halls are spread across the city, a car or a short ride is useful for getting between them. Planning around the days you most want to visit a particular attraction will help you make the most of a stay.
Who it suits
Anaheim suits families and anyone who enjoys a mix of rides, live sport and easy access to the Southern California coast. It works well as a stay of a few days, with time set aside for the parks and room for a relaxed day at the beach or a meal at the Packing District.
