About Anaheim

Including tips for the best time to visit Anaheim

Located just outside Los Angeles, Anaheim is a city famous for its shopping, Orange County landscapes and most importantly, Disneyland.

Anaheim’s biggest attraction is by far Disneyland Resort, comprising both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Beloved cartoon characters come to life here at one of America’s most cherisehd theme parks. A magical place that has the hearts of children and adults worldwide, Disneyland offers unforgettable fun for visitors of all ages.

Shopper's will find much to love about Anaheim. Check out Center Street Promenade, a hip district filled with boutique stores, local eateries and luxurious lofts. It’s the perfect place for a little retail therapy, with plenty of jewellery, high-end fashion and chic lifestyle stores. Afterwards, be sure to check out one of the local Californian craft beer joints for a refreshing drop.

Treated by the sunny California climate, there are plenty of things to do outside in Anaheim. Featuring winding lanes that loop around four lakes, Yorba Regional Park is perfect for cyclists. Elsewhere, hikers will love the sweeping views of the scenic woodland at the Oak Canyon Nature Center.

We stayed 4 nights/3 days in Anaheim - 1 day each at Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, 1 day walking/bussing/shopping/eating locally. This was a good amount of time for our stay. Buses $5 per person for a day, good value and regular. Panini Kabob Grill - Anaheim was a stand out restaurant for us, beautiful fresh food and portion size.

This location was a great location.

30 April 2024

This location was a great location. It was fairly close to the park and allowed us to cut through the Grand Californian. While we could have also continued through downtown Disney, we avoided majority of the crowds. When we returned to the hotel about 12am, the atmosphere was a bit more "sketch" as the homeless population was either walking around or sleeping. However, I never felt unsafe. Even though it was against a busier road, you could not hear much of the traffic even as soon as you got into the parking area. The room was a great layout as well. The bathroom was around the corner from the bed, so you could get ready for the day without waking the entire room.

We only went to Disneyland.

22 April 2024

We only went to Disneyland. The Riviera Hotel was about a 3/4 mile walk from the security gates at Disneyland/California Adventure. That is a bit of a walk but closer hotels cost much more. For a place to sleep and shower, the Riviera was a good value.

Anaheim is geared towards mass tourism for Disney.

20 March 2024

Anaheim is geared towards mass tourism for Disney. Hotels, restaurants, and transport are all set up to facilitate the thousands of people going to Disneyland and Disney Resort. Anaheim Regional Transportation buses run all day and are very cheap. But you must be able to download the Awaywego App onto your phone.

We only visited Disneyland while we were in Anaheim so I cannot comment too much about the area. There is a Costco in Fullerton, nearby, with gas, and that was convenient since we drove from Las Vegas.
