Experience the thrill of the an old wooden rollercoaster, but with modern twists, turns and technology, at "California Screamin." Or enjoy a live performance by your favorite characters at Disney's newest theme park, featuring a slew of exciting rides and family entertainment.

Disney knows how to run a park. We had a great morning here and then went to Disneyland. We wish we had more time. For some advice, read my review of Disneyland. Enjoy!!!

Unique cathedral composed of 10,000 panes of glass forming a four-pointed star.
Reviewed By c17360
This landmark has three distinct buildings each by a well known designer. The ownership changed only recently to the Catholic Church. The newest structure was designed by Richard Meier whose design are all over the world. The original 'crystal cathedral' was designed by Phillip Johnson many years back. It is quite spectacular. This leads to the original church building that was designed by Richard Neutra which also includes a bell tower. Each building has its unique quality that represented that particular period. Enjoy.

26 acres of beautiful gardens, the Fullerton Arboretum offers plant and produce sales four days a week, weekly cooking, fitness, and botany classes; and more!

Nice little garden nestled on the north side of CSUF. It has a lot of different plants and trees including tropical varieties so sometimes it feels like you're in a different place when walking around.
Went there when the corpse plant they had was blooming. (Blooms every 10 years and smells like rotting flesh) I was just curious what it would smell like haha but glad I went cause I got to check out the rest of the place.
4. The Bruery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 63 reviews
Here at The Bruery, our calling is to create beers with character and depth using the simplest and purest of means. We do not filter or pasteurize our beers. The majority of our bottled beers gain carbonation through 100% bottle conditioning, allowing carbonation to naturally occur through a secondary bottle fermentation. We strive to use unconventional ingredients, and we will proudly state what we put in our beers. We are inspired by those in the brewing community who are pushing the limits of what 'beer' is. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for great brewers who came before us. We aspire to be an influential force in craft brewing.

The brewery is located in an industrial area with plenty of parking. The taproom is walled off from the warehouse where all the brewing happens and feels cold, sterile, and uninviting. The tap list is large and overwhelming, not necessarily a bad thing. There is a stack of flight papers for you to fill out on your own far away from the actual bar, making the whole experience seem impersonal, but I understand that this is done for speed. None of the staff was especially chatty or friendly and seemed more like bartenders than brew aficionados. I also find it off putting that they list members only beers on the regular tap list, I guess to tease you and show you what you are missing?
Honestly, the best thing about my experience was the food truck outside. Yes, the beers were good, but you might be better off buying some bottles to drink at home and promptly exiting.

Expectations were high for the entire family and Disneyland did not disappoint.
We’d been to Disneyworld in FL but never Disneyland. We really liked the smaller size of Disneyland. The weather was perfect during the day but got chilly at night. Not sure what we were thinking but we didn’t bring enough layers so most of us were pretty cold by the end of the day.

This parade is so good, fun, and upbeat. Thankfully a cast member told us to get a seat a couple hours early so my friend and I took turns saving a spot and it was definitely worth it. The music is great, Owl City, and the characters were all so fun!
I saw this parade in July of 2015, the review is coming a little late....but for when the parade comes back, be sure to check it out. It is really well done already and they will be adding some new things to it.

A small outlet that one can finish in just about 5 hrs or so. Most outlets offer additional discount coupons but here, they sell it for USD5 for a pack of coupons at selective brands.
This is a convenient outlet mall for those visiting Anaheim, just a short 5min Uber ride away from Sheraton Park (which is near Disneyland and Anaheim convention center). The ART bus route 16 also brings one here in about 20mins.

Beautiful light filled space with lot of yummy offerings. Thought it would be larger based on the photos. Lots of food places, but just one shop and a retail merch cart. Drinks from the bar were excellent, Indian apps were okay, croissants were superb. It's a funky unique place for a drink and a meal or snack, definitely recommend over all the chain restaurants in Anaheim.

I always try to catch a game any time I'm visiting LA and this year got to two games, the second of which was the occasion of Albert Pujols HR number 600. Great atmosphere, I love Angel Stadium. Got to watch the Saturday night Fireworks as well as get my free Shark Rally Monkey

Went to see a Anaheim Ducks NHL game here recently and it was great. The venue was easy to access and we had great seats. Refer the Honda Center website, for restrictions on what you can actually bring for entry.
There is a designated Uber pick up and drop off point which made the trip easier.
