2. Hilbert Museum of California Art
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 46 reviews
The Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University, which opened in 2016, was established thanks to the generosity of Mark and Janet Hilbert, whose superlative collection focuses on the “California Scene” painting movement of roughly the 1920s through the 1970s and beyond. The Hilbert Collection – which includes oils, watercolors, sketches and lithographs of rural and urban scenes, coastal views, farms, ranches, freeways and landscapes of everyday life in the Golden State – is a significant repository of 20th-century representational art by California artists. The Collection also includes animation and movie art (many California fine artists were drawn to the state by work in the movie industry, including as animators, background painters, set and backdrop designers and poster artists) and works by noted American illustrators.

My dtr and I went 'museuming' while our husbands went elsewhere for the day. This was our first stop as she wanted so much to see the Mary Blair exhibit. Additionally there was an exhibit of " A fine Romance" love scenes for classic movies as well as one about Los Angeles area scene paintings. What a treat!!! And free!!. Parking is right out front. The docents were so kind and explained a number of things about the exhibits as well as the museum itselt which is on the campus of Chapman University. We got there early in the day on a Saturday just after T-giving and by the time we left, there were a goodly number of people there. Most wanted to see the extended exhibit of Mary Blair who did a lot of Disney things.

This zoo is inside the Irvine Regional Park, so you need to pay to enter in the park and you need to pay to enter in the zoo . The zoo is pretty small and you can visit it in 30 - 45 minutes but it is cute, there is a bit of every thing here and the staff work hard on this small zoo. I have been to this zoo many times and my son loves it. The petting area is really nice and they have always great activities during Holidays.

We were able to stop in and check out the skate park and shop a couple of times during our visit to Disneyland and I so recommend checking this place out! My 14 year old skates and was so bummed he didnt bring his board, however they do offer board and helmet rentals for a great price if wanted! The staff in the shop were all super helpful and ready with a smile to answer any questions you have!!
