Anaheim Destination Overview
|
Anaheim, California is probably
most famous as the home of Disneyland, the first Disney theme park, known around
the world as "The Happiest Place on Earth”, but there is much more family fun to
be found in and around this city in Orange County, California. In addition to Disneyland with
its many “lands,” rides, and attractions which grow in popularity year by year,
there is Disney's California Adventure. This spectacular addition occupies about
55 acres of the original 100 acre Disneyland parking lot. Located immediately to
the south of the Magic Kingdom, this entirely separate gated features all the
best of California in condensed form. The themed areas within
California Adventure include an authentic replica of a California seaside
resort, complete with a Boardwalk and "ocean front” amusement park.
There is a
roller coaster, aptly named California Screamin', and other rides. There is
"Cannery Row" area representing the Monterey area, a hint of Tinsel town in the
Hollywood Studios backlot, a high desert aviation area named Condor Flats, an
agricultural section called Bountiful Valley, and daily wine tasting with the
Mondavi family from Napa Valley. Finally, there is a wilderness area called
Redwood Creek which features the symbol for the entire park, Grizzly Peak. This
outcropping in the shape of a bear’s head has a white-water rafting adventure. Also included within the park itself is the Grand Californian Hotel, themed as a
wilderness lodge in the architectural style of the historically significant
National Parks lodges.
Enjoy sizzling steaks, seafood,
exotic entrees, desserts, and a wide range of beverages, including wine and beer
at the cafes and restaurants in the Disney parks. From All-American offerings to
the authentic flavors of Asia, Mexico and Italy, finding a great meal is easy! In addition to the Disneyland
theme parks, there is Knott's Berry Farm, which began in the 1930s as a roadside
stand offering Mrs. Knott’s homemade pies and delicious chicken dinners. Today,
it is a theme park with over 165 shows, attractions, and high tech rides for
thrill seekers of all ages.
For film lovers, Universal
Studios Hollywood (about 35 miles from Anaheim) features rides based on many of
its most famous films, such as Back to the Future, Shrek, Jurrasic Park, and
Spiderman. Knott’s Soak City USA provides hours of family entertainment with
over 20 water rides. Medieval Times places dinner guests in the role of medieval
royalty. Jousting tournaments occur nightly as guests dine in the midst of the
pageantry and action. After touring the theme parks,
there are museums and cultural attractions to enjoy.
The local art museums offer
original and rare works of art. The Crystal Cathedral, the largest glass
building in the world is located two miles from Disneyland. Two memorable
pageants, complete with live animals, are presented there each year. SeaWorld,
the San Diego Zoo, Catalina Island, Legoland, and the Long Beach Aquarium are
area attractions well worth visiting. For thrill rides, visit 6 Flags California
near Los Angeles.
Anaheim is located
approximately 30 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and 90 miles north of San
Diego. Its central location makes it an excellent place to select as a base for
a Southern California vacation. Well-organized tours are available from Anaheim
to top attractions in every direction. A vacation in Anaheim will fulfill the
children’s dreams, and build a library of pleasant memories for the family that
will last a lifetime.
