Adventure City

Adventure City is the little theme park that's big on family fun! Admission for a family of four is less than a ticket to a big park so you can enjoy all of our 17 rides, shows and attractions for one affordable price! Experience thrills on one of our two roller coasters including our newest coaster, Rewind Racers. North America's first forward and reversing family shuttle coaster. Take a ride on the Adventure City Express Train for a scenic trip around the park or get a little loony on the crazy bus. Meet some new animal friends in our petting farm. Enjoy fun, interactive children's shows and so much more! Adventure City, Orange County's premier destination for affordable family fun!

Adventure City is just the best little theme park in Southern California. The people that work there are so kind and helpful. The place is spotless and I don't know how they do that with all the kids. There are plenty of bathrooms, and all are super clean. There is not a ton of food there so maybe eat before. We have been before. This time we went to their Halloween event. They were open for most of October at night and on a week night--they are usually not open late on weeknights. It was wonderful. It was a great price. You just go to their website and buy on line. The staff is dressed up and they have trick or treating for the kids. All the rides are dressed up for the holiday and the whole experience is just the best. Adventure City is not something for adults without kids. Most of the rides are for 13 and under, but anyone can go on them. They do have a big coaster which is the best. You will love this place. Have the best time.

Nice walk that is mostly flat. Do a loop and go for brunch at Keno's. Free parking if you are early otherwise you will need to park on the street.

Angel Stadium of Anaheim

Reviewed By bucketlistlin - Boston, United States

We were so lucky to have such a wonderful night at the ballpark. The weather was beautiful! The best part of the evening, which unfortunately I don't have a photo of, was the nachos! They can in a Los Angeles Angels plastic baseball hat! It was a life size hat. Besides the nachos don't purchase your tickets in advance. There are plenty available online on third websites such as Stubhub the day of the game for less then face value! Parking is also not an issue. There were plenty of spots with limited walking distance to the stadium.

Anaheim Packing District

Reviewed By mikerX714HZ

Pre COVID, this place is amazing! I have NOT been there since the restrictions, and Covid stuff. Prior to all that, this area is awesome! This is going to be long so, bare with me! First off, pay for the valet parking! It don t cost much, will save you the headache. Parking can be a nightmare. Park your car, and enjoy the area! This a great place for dates, and just getting out! The food options are amazing! Google “The Blind rabbit”! I had no idea about this place! Until, a wall opend up while, my daughter was enjoying a crape. Yeah! The wall just opened! I was leaning against it! Disneyland thing, Speak easy,/pirates of the Caribbean/ Alice in wonder land/ Harry Potter/ steam punk/ mixology place can’t really put my finger on it, or the kind of vibe but, really awesome and, the staff is amazing! Very easy to talk to, and they answer all your dumb questions, like mine, as to what they are setting on fire, and what the contraptions are doing. Make a reservation! Like 20 people max capacity! Perfect for a date night! Just do drinks though unless you are into fancy food. Would have preferred one of the many options available in the packing house. Just not my thing. Asian place across the street, great noodles! Walk down two lights, hang a left, house of chimney cakes!! GO THERE! Then, walk down to the DUCKS hockey arena and watch amateurs skate and play hockey! Air conditioning, and, a full bar! Awesome!

Reviewed By Baron87 - Los Angeles, United States

I was trying to inquire about a shuttle leaving the ARTIC building but never quite got the information I was looking for. Instead, I got rave reviews of the building and a restaurant inside called The Oyster Bar. The building was beautiful and immaculate. Upstairs was a casual restaurant advertising its Kettle Steamer. A.B. was the chef who knew exactly what he was doing. My food was cajun style yet no one was from New Orleans. The shrimp, the rice and the sauce were to die for. The people were all very friendly and invited me to come back after the Honda Center show for dessert. OMG...the beignets really hit the spot. There was a DJ, a comfortable place to relax and best of all, the food. At night, the building is lit up and absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth a visit,

This was a relaxing stroll along a stream in a beautiful park. The cotrast in the rich vegetation fed by the stream and the dry hillsides was striking.

While the young kids may get bored, this is a great place to kill an hour or more to see some great artwork and to learn some history about the park.
