Anaheim, CA

Answer 1

A visit to Anaheim is almost always synonymous to a trip to the Disneyland Resort. And while there is nothing wrong with that, there are definitely more reasons why you should visit this city, and the whole Orange County area.

The Disneyland Resort is undoubtedly the most well-known attraction in Anaheim. Those travelling with kids should definitely include the trip to the theme park in their itinerary, as both the young ones and kids-at-heart would have the time of their lives while inside the resort. This place would turn an ordinary day into a magical one.

Another theme park worth visiting is Adventure City. Even though it is smaller than Disneyland, this theme park still offers the adventure of thrilling rides, a petting farm, interactive shows for the kids, and a whole lot more. Even grownups would surely feel the excitement that Adventure City offers. A trip to the Family Fun Center would be an awesome way to complete your theme park-hopping.

A few steps from Disneyland is the Anaheim Garden Walk, a haven for outdoor dining, entertainment and shopping. Amidst immaculately-tended gardens and picturesque waterfalls, you can find futuristic movie houses, retail stores, a classy Bowling lounge and restaurants (both for fine- and casual-dining) featuring a variety of cuisines to choose from. You can engage in retail therapy, watch a fascinating movie, or feast on your favorite cuisine without venturing too far from the last interest you indulged in.

For those interested in the arts, an interesting way to see art portrayed in an entirely different way is by taking a tour of The Art in Public Places in Downtown Anaheim. These downtown artworks were cultivated to honor the city's history, and also to combine the human element into the streets, landscaping and buildings of the area. A trip to MUZEO (dubbed as 'the museum of celebration and understanding) is also a must, to see the home of world-renowned travelling exhibitions.

Golf enthusiasts have a number of courses to choose from in Anaheim - it might be a good idea to do some research on the courses before the trip to Anaheim, to get the most out of what each course has to offer. Those who prefer tennis can visit the Anaheim Tennis Center and its historic clubhouse, the Wagner Home.

As the sun sets, don't expect Anaheim to start winding down. On the contrary, the city's bustling nightlife is just about to begin. The city's bars and restaurants offer activities (and wine/liquor selections) to last the whole night - up to the wee hours of the morning.

A trip to Anaheim is synonymous to adventure - lots of it, regardless of what your definition of the word may be. Just make sure that you have your energy and enthusiasm in high gear, as you will need them for the trip to Anaheim.
