Anaheim, CA

About

Anaheim, California, is a world-famous tourist destination best known for being the home of Disneyland, one of the largest, most recognized theme parks worldwide. The city offers plenty of other local attractions and landmarks, such as the Downtown Disney District, Knotts Berry Farm, Adventure City, Honda Center and Angel Stadium. Anaheim has a rampant food scene, with fantastic local restaurants like The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., FiRE+iCE and Packing House OC. The city’s mild year-round climate also makes it great for getting outdoors for a hike or bike ride at Yorba Regional Park or Irvine Regional Park. And if all these options aren’t enough, Los Angeles and all its culture, attractions and excitement are less than 30 miles away, and Hollywood is just five more miles down the road.
