A glittering city on the edge of the Inland Empire.

Tourism Sports Stadium Hockey Baseball Upscale Nightlife Dining Entertainment

Forty-five minutes southeast of downtown Los Angeles, Anaheim is world-famous as the home of Disneyland, but the city’s charms extend far beyond the theme park gates. Yorba Regional Park provides a beautiful green space full of bike trails, foot paths, and athletic fields on the banks of the Santa Ana River. Venues like the Honda Center and the Anaheim Convention Center host major events year-round, from concerts to trade shows, and Angels baseball games at Angel Stadium are local favorites. The annual Halloween parade is one of the city’s oldest traditions, dating back to 1924. And while going to Disneyland may be just an occasional treat for locals, one of the more popular entertainment and nightlife locations in the city is Downtown Disney, which includes dozens of specialty stores, restaurants of every flavor, bar and grills, clothing shops, and novelty entertainment venues like Build-a-Bear Workshop and ESPN Zone.
