Anaheim was once a farm area devoid of any major attractions, but that all changed with the opening of Disneyland. Now there are fun activities for the whole family scattered throughout this small city in Orange County.
Anaheim's main attraction is Disneyland. Those with young children may find the classic Disneyland Park to be just what they needed, but for more refined tastes, California Adventure offers heart-stopping rides, entertaining shows and a restaurant serving the exclusive Disney wine. Don't forget to make a stop at Downtown Disney for all of your shopping needs.
Sports fans can get their thrill with the local Mighty Ducks NHL team and the Anaheim Angels. Between the two teams, there's at least one sporting event going on at any given time of year.
Knott's Berry Farm is a great alternative for fans of high-speed thrills that just aren't on the Disneyland menu. Plus, they offer a great selection of jams and syrups for adventurous foodies who also love roller coasters.
Medieval Times is an Anaheim classic, but for those who have already seen the show or just aren't into dueling knights of old, there's also the Pirate's Dinner Adventure. Whether you're into lords and ladies or buccaneers and wenches, you're sure to have a great time visiting either of these dinner shows.
Anaheim has a number of great museums that tend to be overlooked in favor of the theme parks. For a more educational trip, or even just a quick break from the crowds, stop by Muzeo, Discovery Science Center, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, or The Movie Land Wax Museum. Whatever you're into, there's sure to be at least one museum in the area with something to tickle your fancy.
