Zoo
Park
Located in Santa Ana, California, the Santa Ana Zoo is a popular destination for animal lovers of all ages. With over 350 animals from 120 species primarily from Central and South America, visitors can enjoy exploring the zoo's 35 exhibits. The zoo offers a petting barnyard and a mini-train ride, making it an ideal spot for families with young children.
This is a lovely little zoo. My friend and I decided to check it out since we were in the area. There is decent amount of parking with some overflow if none is available in the front. It's a decent size, we were there about 2 hours, leisurely walking through and looking at the animals. All the animals had an indoor area to hide, so some of them were sleeping while we were there, but we got to see over half of them out and about. There are lots of scenic spots to take pictures, and lots of seating to rest. The day we went had a pop up that was Mind in Motion, which had booths pertaining to community events and lots of child programs and wellness, which we thought was really neat and a positive addition to the community. It was a Saturday, so it was decently busy, some animals that were out would have a little crowd gathered to look at them, but we still got our turn to view as well. There were "fun facts" throughout the park, which we both found informative and interesting. There was also a butterfly exhibit but that requires reservations a head of time, which we didn't know, so the wait was too long for us. It was a lovely day out for walking around the zoo and enjoying the atmosphere and animals.

Attended the orchid show. Incredible! Never seen so many beautiful flowers. The zoo is going through a lot of construction and going down a path and then having it closed was a little bit disappointing and so many closed exhibits. However, we stumbled across the butterfly aviary. Oh my gosh it was incredible. So many butterflies. It totally made the visit worthwhile. That part was wonderful. Seeing what they are changing will be good for the zoo. It just still has a while before it is complete.

Absolutely NOT — Santa Ana Zoo, never again! We spent a total of just 24 minutes on the grounds, and it was one of the most disappointing zoo experiences we’ve ever had — and we’ve visited around 17 zoos across the U.S. The frustration started right at the ticket booth. Lisa, who was working alone, struggled to manage both the line and phone calls. She took a lengthy phone inquiry while guests waited, causing a 10-minute delay before I even reached the counter — despite being second in line. When I politely asked if she could place the call on hold to assist waiting guests, she replied that she was alone. I understand being short-staffed, but a simple “please hold” would have made a big difference. She appeared stressed and disengaged — not exactly the warm welcome you’d hope for at a family attraction. Inside, the disappointment continued: • At least 12 empty enclosures, including the main waterfall habitat, which was completely vacant. • Three large green gates were blocked off. • The Halloween inflatables were deflated and neglected (and it was already 10:36 AM). • The butterfly exhibit and all rides were closed. In total, we paid $25 for less than half an hour — that’s $1.04 per minute — to see three small monkey exhibits, a sloth, some birds, and a few frogs. That was it. This zoo charged the most we’ve ever paid and for the least value by far. We left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and honestly, misled. I strongly believe a refund is warranted. If you’re considering visiting, read the reviews first — we wish we had.

in not sure why people are complaining about the Santa Ana zoo on the reviews here? It’s a small zoo & the people working there are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! It’s a small zoo. You cant expect San Diego zoo from a local zoo, that’s just easy to expect do not come here with extremely high expectations, come here just to stroll around and have a good time. I walked around and it took me about an hour, I was actually observing the animals. Some of the enclosures are indeed empty, but it has signs saying there will be a new friend there soon. Butterfly enclosure is for springtime only and the website states online that the rides are open weekends only. It’s not hard to deep dive and research before coming. The waterfall/new area is empty because if you read, there’s a sign that says it’s not put together yet and will be done soon. I enjoyed seeing various types of monkeys, anteater, birds, goats, horses & more. I also enjoyed the goat petting section. I would definitely come here again $14 per person (adult) is extremely reasonable, you’re supporting the zoo with the ticket purchase.
Claudia C — Google review
A really great small zoo. Our grandkids aged 3 and 7 thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The butterfly experience was probably the highlight. It is a very nice zoo and well kept. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this zoo for any age keeping in mind it is small.
Walter B — Google review
Not very many choices of animals to see but it was still a good experience for us. Traveling from Hawaii, this was our fist encounter with camels and the excitement still lingers for me. And the monkey with the beard was just too cute for me. The vegetation was more than I expected in a zoo. It kept the park cool, shady, and beautiful. We even got a flower for our hair. The cost was affordable enough that my college child was able to buy our tickets.
Twila K — Google review
It is not crowded on a weekday afternoon. Even though many constructions are happening inside the zoo and quite a few empty habitats, we had a wonderful time. The entry fee is $13 for adults and $10 for children. The butterfly garden is delightful, with lots of beautiful butterflies and you can spend as much time inside as you please and the electric queue system is good too similar to something a restaurant used. Note. The zoo closes for entry at 4pm but you can stay till 5pm.
Joseph A — Google review
It’s a small zoo. Don’t except the LA zoo or San Diego zoo excitement. It’s a small zoo. We went here because of the butterfly exhibit they have (till the end of September 2025) my 6yr old loves butterflies so we went here for the butterflies. Honestly if it weren’t for them having the butterfly exhibit the price of admission would not be worth it. Hardly any animals. The cages said they had animals but almost all the animals were sleeping or put away. So I don’t think it’s worth the price of admission also half the zoo seems to be under construction and so they have very limited food items or places to eat so either eat before or bring your own food.

Bowers Museum, located in Santa Ana, is a stunning Mission Revival-style museum that offers a diverse range of global art exhibits, both permanent and temporary. The museum's Spanish Colonial-style architecture provides an impressive backdrop for its remarkable displays. Visitors can explore a rich collection of pre-Columbian, African, Chinese, and Native American art alongside California art from missions to plein air painting.
My family and I went here for the Terracotta Warrior exhibit. It was my first time at this beautiful museum. It's small but we spent about 2 hours exploring it. The Terracotta Warrior exhibit was excellent. We spent a lot of time there reading and talking to a very knowledgeable docent. After that we checked out the other exhibits in the museum. They were all great. I really like the Chinese and South Pacific artifacts as well. The exhibits on Pico were also very interesting.
Sharon B — Google review
What an amazing collection this museum has. I was not aware of it until the I vote for an after hours event landed in my email. I highly recommend giving them several hours of your day to have a chance to see everything. I will be back.

Recently went to see the Terracotta Warriors exhibit. Well curated and not too crowded. We went on a day where there was a separate festival in the courtyard. The permanent exhibits are also enjoyable. Parking can be tricky, especially on weekends where there are other activities going on; however, there were other additional overflow lots and street parking. Street parking may be free or metered and may be less than the on-site parking fees. Ate at the Tabata restaurant and the food was good. The hostess did a great job accommodating our large party as a walk-in request.

Took the family here during the Terracotta Warriors exhibit. After exploring that, we checked out the other parts. We were there for six hours and still haven't seen everything. It's definitely a place to come back to over and over. Staff was friendly and professional. The facility was clean and modern. Highly recommended for visitors of all ages.

Great ambience. Interesting artifacts (I was especially fascinated by the Oceania exhibit). The crown jewel was without a doubt the teracotta warriors special exhibit, and there were free guided tours. One can easily spend three or more hours there.
David H — Google review
The entry price is reasonable, lots of parking including several handicapped. The exhibits are interesting, from different regions and countries and special exhibits are always interesting (Right now, it's the Chinese terracotta soldiers.) It is on the smaller side so people should have no problem viewing everything. The employees are pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and leisure.

I’ve visited the bowers twice now. They have amazing Hindu art, and indigenous Taiwanese style works. I loved the American Impressionism as well. The second time we had gone for the terracotta warriors in china. It seems that the bowers receives some rare exhibits every now and then so it’s worth checking in multiple times especially if you are local to the area.
Sharon — Google review
Generally, I am not a fan of art museums. But Bowers Museum isn't like a lot of art museums. Today they have a special exhibit on the Terracotta Warriors. Permanent exhibit include Sacred Realms which is Buddhist painting. Masters of Silver, Arts of the Pacific Islands and more. All items and their history were all explained well. They even offered tours but we didn't take it. Even if you don't care for Art Museums this one is worth a look

Historical place
The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District is a vibrant and cosmopolitan area with charming Art Deco buildings, old movie houses, and the county's first courthouse turned museum. It offers upscale dining, unique shops, a performing arts theater, and the renowned Artists Village. This district is the heart of Santa Ana's artistic downtown scene and Spanish-style museums. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities from morning to night including great dining options and late-night entertainment.
What a great experience with the Lowrider community. It was great to see they had their families with them and few had their sons in the front seat....very cool everyone out cruising having a great time.
RUTHLESS C — Google review
The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District offers a unique blend of old and new. The historic architecture is a highlight, housing an evolving arts scene and some solid dining options. It maintains an authentic, somewhat gritty character, which is a departure from more polished districts. While it has its charms and is clearly on an upswing, navigating the area can feel inconsistent. It's an interesting place to explore with really nice old architecture and the city is trying with its revitalization efforts.

A beautiful downtown! We visited on a Sunday morning. While taking photographs of the many interesting and amazing murals we looked for a breakfast place. Many places did not open till 10 or 11 am but luckily we did find a Taquaria that was open for business. I definitely want to come back and check out the nightlife. Looks like a lot of construction and revitalizing is going on but the murals and old charm are being preserved and it is worth the visit now.

Discovery Cube is an educational museum in Orange County that focuses on providing over 100 hands-on exhibits and special programs for kids. It offers interactive activities such as a simulated helicopter ride, an earthquake simulator, and cooking workshops. The museum provides a unique experience for both children and adults, with attractions like walking through the inside of a dinosaur and exploring a rocket inside a big black cube.
We’ve had an annual pass to Discovery Cube and really enjoyed bringing the kids there to explore. It’s an engaging spot with plenty of hands-on exhibits that keep them curious and active. It does get crowded, so timing your visit is key. Overall, a fun, educational space for kids to play and learn.

Me and my family went here over the weekend and had quite a bit of fun. There's multiple floors and many different exhibits that my little sister had a blast doing the ocean and sea themed exhibits. The only problem we had was that it was a little pricey with tickets being $20+, but other than that it was a great experience all around that thought everyone new things.

The personal dessert pizzas are really elaborate cookies 🍪 and they are 😋 yummy. The cafe is nut free so they have sunflower butter instead of peanut butter. If you have a child with allergies this is a good place to visit. There are two locations, the other is in LA. If you get a membership it's 180 annually for two adults and up to four children. (This might be good for play dates.) Also, you can get discounted tickets for companions if you have adult friends who are bringing their children. Parking is 10$. All in all I think it's a good value.

My 2 year old niece loves dinosaurs, so after googling "dinasaur park near me" we headed to Discovery Cube. It was THE BEST! Her favorites were the dinosaurs & the sea lab. I was worried that she may be too young for this experience, but she was able to engage with so much and I whole-heartedly recommend Discovery Cube.

Really fun place for kids to learn and engage in stem activities, however if you are going during the week ( we are homeschool)there are school fields trips every single day and it causes such a chaotic environment. I think i was over stimulated by the end. After about 2pm when the field trips leave it is very slow and you are able to fly enjoy all activities

The Heritage Museum of Orange County is a charming attraction that offers a glimpse into the 1890s with its restored homes and buildings surrounded by beautiful floral gardens. This museum not only showcases the cultural heritage of Orange County but also serves as an affordable venue for weddings and events, set on eleven and a half acres of secluded land. The historic plaza, Victorian homes, and lush gardens create a picturesque setting for garden weddings and receptions.
If you are looking for a hidden gem full of beautiful spaces to get ready in, say I do, and celebrate, consider the Heritage Museum of Orange County! The historic buildings have been restored meticulously, and the grounds are well maintained. Even though the property is large, it has an intimate and private feel to it and features a citrus grove, gazebo, rose garden, and many other photogenic areas. Staff is friendly, helpful, and works hard to ensure everything runs smoothly. My clients were able to party until midnight with their 170 guests. It was a memorable fun day, and much of the credit goes to the Museum. Check them out!

First and foremost let me start off by saying this..wow!!!! I was absolutely amazed by the staff. Highly recommend 10/10. My partner and I went to attend the ghost tour and let me say this. I am a believer in the paranormal and supernatural and my partner is some what of skeptic and I must say out of all the places we been to I was so excited. The spirits that reside here are very welcoming. We were greeted by Kaitlyn and the wonderful Darcy. These two dynamic duo made the experience so much fun. We arrived 20 minutes early and we were allowed to roam the grounds with a few rules. I was impressed by the knowledge these amazing ladies had. They were astonishing and so kind. I honestly felt welcomed especially in the presence of Mrs. Helen herself. I would love to talk about more of my experience I've had here but I would like to say this. If you are looking for some ghostly encounter this is the spot your guranteed to meet some spooky friends. Thank you so much Darcy and Kaitlyn were going to come back for our wedding these dynamic duo need a raise. Make sure you guys don't disrespect mrs. Helen cause she will def kick you out. I can't wait to come back and bring some of my friends

The Old Orange County Courthouse, located in Santa Ana, is a historic 1901 building that now serves as a museum showcasing temporary and permanent exhibits on local and regional history. This landmark played a significant role in the formation of Santa Ana and nearby cities, making it an essential stop for those interested in the area's history. Situated in the Historic Downtown District, visitors can immerse themselves in the region's past while exploring this century-old courthouse.

Beautiful building with free admission. The building consists of 3 floors, the first floor (which is more like a basement) consists of the county’s archives and historic memorabilia. The second floor was jam packed with people taking wedding pictures or waiting for passport appointments (you can get your passport done here btw. The third floor was where the historic courthouse was. Overall, beautiful architecture and plenty of OC history. Just be aware it will be filled with people getting their wedding pics taken.

The museum was empty because they have not placed displays out yet during the reopening from COVID. Not sure when that happens with the timeline. Beautiful building! Luckily, I had a OC Parks pamphlet from before COVID that provided a lot of information that I might have missed. It might be a better trip to wait for when things fully reopen? UPDATE! Don't miss downstairs! All of the history is there...

Business is back to "usual" at the Old OC Courthouse. - Couples can have 0-2 witnesses sign their marriage license. - Couples can bring guests for their onsite ceremony, which takes place in front of an altar again (room A or B) or at the superior courtroom if you pay the additional fee (highly recommended if you have a larger group). - If you get married during a busy day (Friday or the one Saturday a month they are open), allow extra time in case you need to park at the nearby parking lots or structures since the little courthouse lot does get full quickly. - The city contracted a third party, and parking tickets *are* being issued. - You can pay with coins or credit card but need to be careful about the expiration time. - You can use the convenient phone app, but you will pay 20 cents extra per hour (whyyy). - Also, allow time for construction traffic. Many streets are either half closed or one way. In summary, it is the most practical, affordable, and beautiful venue to get married in OC. Best wishes!

This past Friday 2/5 was my first time photographing a ceremony at this beautiful courthouse. While still under Covid guidelines, we (couple + myself) make the most with our surroundings. I was able to capture a first look, gorgeous portraits on the staircase, and we even did a petal toss. If you're wanting to capture your moment, I can be there for you! ~Maria, Owner/Photographer of Pink Heart Photography by Maria Evins

The Dr. Willella Howe-Waffle House and Medical Museum is a remarkable destination that invites visitors to step back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the life and work of one of Orange County's pioneering female physicians. This historic site features an array of fascinating exhibits and artifacts that illuminate the medical practices, tools, and innovations from a bygone era while also reflecting the cultural nuances of Victorian living.
Beautiful house, excellent open house tour by very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. A fascinating history of the local area. AND they served cookies and tea after! You'll have to visit their website to find dates.

Crystel T — Google review
4/5 since it was a mostly positive mix! Our tour went longer than we planned (we dropped out around the 90min mark, looked like 2hrs total) and was focused on clothing and the building history more than the medical side - which was a bummer since this is the only permanent medical museum in southern California we could find. But overall everyone was very kind, they even set out tea and cookies for the end of the tour, and were dressed lovely. Would go again, but with a very different set of expectations and goals. Victorian historians looking for a low key tour will really enjoy it, doctors with tight schedules might instead make plans to leave southern California for a more serious medicine museum.

Amazing to see a historic home so well maintained. The authentic furnishings, which are all donated, make for an interesting tour when you realize you are viewing and touching items which are over 100 years old. Dr Waffle's medical equipment was educational. Best part of our tour with Tina was learning about the fundraising events throughout the year. What fun and all for a good cause. Preserving history~

Awesome treat for the whole family!!! Will definitely make this a Christmas tradition. I have always driven by this place, but it has never been open to go in. I took my spouse and two boys. We were merrily greeted by the society volunteers dressed as nutcrackers!!! It was so eloquently decorated. The food served looked fake it was so beautiful and precisely arranged. They also passed out a Christmas keepsake for our tree! So much history and scandal! My children loved the attic steps that of course they couldn't go up and the speak tube used by patients to speak to the Doctor through. Being a nurse, I really loved the medical aspect. We will be sure to make this a Christmas tradition and donate to it's future preservation fo generations to come.

So interesting seeing the home where this courageous, trailblazing obstetrician lived. This December marked their first Christmas decorated tours that included decorating gingerbread men and making woven cloth star ornaments. Each room was decorated by a local community group like the Ebell Society of Santa Ana, the police department, Historic French Park, Wilshire Park, etc. What fun it was!!

The Observatory, located in a clean and safe area, is a popular live music venue that offers an intimate yet spacious setting with stellar views from any spot in the audience. It hosts a diverse lineup of well-known and up-and-coming artists across various genres such as rock, alternative, jazz, blues, and Christian music. The venue features two individual stages where patrons can enjoy different styles of music within close proximity.
I went with my brother to see Whitechapel, and wow—what an amazing night! The three bands before them were really good and got the crowd hyped. The venue staff and security were absolutely awesome—super friendly and totally ADA compliant. As soon as we showed up, they escorted us right up front for parking and helped us get inside with no hassle at all. Since I was in a wheelchair, they made sure we had a perfect spot to see the show, and I got to enjoy it right alongside my brother. The whole experience was smooth, fun, and super welcoming. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking to catch a great show and have an awesome time!

We have seen two concerts here: Glass Beams and Covet. The facility is very well laid out inside. There is a big bar and swag table. We have always been able to get a good place to stand in General Admission. The prepaid parking is convenient. The sound system can be very good, but it is quite variable, depending on the concert. It's loud, bring ear plugs.

Such a great venue! Saw Yung gravy there last night. Sound was on point. Intimate but not small. Two venues at one place which is interesting. I like the outdoor area as well. Highly recommend checking out a show here.

From the moment you step in, you can feel the energy and excitement in the air, and the team running the show makes the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Security & Entry Process: The security team is professional, efficient, and ensures a smooth entry while keeping everyone safe. Even with a large crowd, they manage to move people through quickly while maintaining order. Fast Lane Processing: No one wants to stand in line forever, and The Observatory does a fantastic job of getting fans inside quickly. Their streamlined ticketing and ID check process means you spend more time enjoying the show and less time waiting outside. Merchandise Sales: If you're looking to grab a shirt, poster, or vinyl from your favorite band, the merch stands here are well-organized and stocked with awesome selections. Checkout is fast and hassle-free, so you can secure your gear without missing out on the main event. Cleanliness: Despite the high-energy crowds, the venue stays impressively clean. The bathrooms are well-maintained, the floors aren’t sticky, and even the bar area is kept in great shape. Crowd Management: The staff does an excellent job of ensuring everyone gets a great experience. Whether you're at the front rocking out or enjoying the vibes from the back, the crowd flow feels natural and never overwhelming. Bar Experience: The bartenders here are friendly and efficient, serving up drinks quickly with solid quality. The prices are reasonable for a concert venue, and the variety of options means there’s something for everyone. Overall, The Observatory delivers an unforgettable concert experience with top-tier management, a welcoming atmosphere, and a commitment to making every show enjoyable for all attendees. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, this venue guarantees a night to remember!

1st time here at this concert, I must say the sound system is quite better than other big concert halls. We really enjoy the bar, food, MERCH stand, and friendly staff. Small parking lot but more parking across the building but will require some walking.

Went in to see Powerman 5000! Awesome experience and the venue was incredibly clean and laid out well. Love the multi layer standing as well as the huge array of seating options. Side note: The sound mixing for this event was perfect, even in the pit I could hear the vocals very clearly which really added to the experience!

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Santa Ana, the Grand Central Art Center is a dynamic cultural hub that beautifully blends visual arts, theater, and music. This expansive facility spans an impressive city block and features three levels dedicated to showcasing contemporary art from around the globe. With its rich history dating back to the late 90s, it has become a cornerstone of the local art scene.
This is an amazing find. I was invited, by my son, to a theatrical production put on by just graduated high school students in the Santa Ana area. Specifically; Orange County School of the Arts. When I entered the plaza there was also an arts and craft show going on, amazing Street music and artists of all kinds. I took a stroll around the plazaanf discovered beautifully decorated walls, the concrete beneath my feet was designed by amazing artists and the decorations on the buildings themselves were very eye-catching. When I entered the building I found several different rooms that included everything from an artist gift shop, a small black box theater and several varied artistic shows spread throughout the entire structure. You had to look down, up and in the corners to find all the hidden spots of amazing beauty that this building offers. Yes, the shows was absolutely fantastic! They were exquisitely written and produced and acted one acts that we're beyond what I've seen on many a professional stage. This adventure was well worth my time, energy and the few bucks I spent. If you enjoyed reading my review, please LIKE below and, as always, have an amazing life!

Disney California Adventure Park is a modern theme park with cutting-edge attractions, diverse dining choices, and live performances. It's located within the larger Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. The park features various themed lands such as Hollywood Land, Grizzly Peak, Pacific Wharf, and Cars Land. Visitors can enjoy classic rides like Soarin' Around the World and Radiator Springs Racers. Additionally, there are immersive experiences in areas like Pixar Pier and Avengers Campus.
A spectacular day! The tickets are expensive but totally worth it. Avengers Campus is incredible for Marvel fans and Cars Land transports you to Radiator Springs. The food is varied and delicious, a bit pricey but expected. Guaranteed fun! Family enjoyed the time we spent at this park. I will recommend you to download the Disneyland's app to check the map and if you pay for the lightning pass you can reserve some attractions in advance.

A great park and a great day! Went on a Monday and still really busy! If the cars ride is open go there first! It gets busy but it worth the wait. The fast past is not worth the extra as it’s a reservation fast past that you have to reserve a spot ahead of time, most of the time this was 3-4 hours in the future. It’s better just the wait in line and plan your day from whichever ride has the shortest weight time!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Experience! Disneyland California never disappoints — every visit feels like stepping into another world! The park is spotless, the staff is friendly, and the attention to detail in every attraction is unmatched. I went during the Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure, and it was incredible! The decorations, the spooky atmosphere, and all the Halloween-themed shows and character meet-and-greets made it an unforgettable night. The trick-or-treat trails were so much fun (yes, even for adults!), and the special parade was the perfect mix of spooky and spectacular. If you plan to visit during Halloween season, get your Oogie Boogie Bash tickets early — they sell out fast! Totally worth it for the unique costumes, shorter lines, and exclusive entertainment. Can’t wait to go back! 🎃👻✨

next door to the happiest place on earth. prices of foods seems kinda reasonable surprisingly and hey there is ice and water available at the pasta/pizza place that was nice surprise I found! lots of cool shaded tree areas there along with music performances. Nice ambience and overall environment. Even if you don't get on all the rides, soak up the beauty of the park. Remember to keep yourself hydrated frequently and some bathrooms are much more crowded especially near high traffic and popular attractions. When the park closes at 9pm, take a stroll to downtown disney and with all restaurants book, reserve get on waiting list at least 3 hours in advance, you'll be glad you did! Lots of walking, and don't pay for preferred parking- it's actually doesn't feel that much closer. Ride single rider lines whenever it is offered and you won't complain about long waits in lines. They allow snacks as long as they are not requiring re heating and don't have pungent odors. They allow your own drinks so long as they are not glass bottles, they will make you dump at the entrance.

Adventure! 🎢 The park was clean, lively, and full of great energy. The Spider-Man ride was new to me!! super fun and interactive! 🕸️ The Toy Story Midway Mania is still one of my absolute favorites; it never gets old. 🎯 Unfortunately, Radiator Springs Racers was closed for repair, which was a bit disappointing, but there were still plenty of other great attractions to enjoy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was cheerful and well-organized. Definitely a great place to spend the day, and I’m already looking forward to coming back when everything’s open!

This was my first visit—mostly to check it off the list—and it’ll also be my last. The park is undeniably exciting for kids, but for adults the value just isn’t there. Lines were packed all day, and the paid “flash pass” didn’t meaningfully reduce wait times; it felt like an expensive detour into another long queue. Between the ticket price and add-ons, it’s overrated and overpriced. If you’re going with young kids, they’ll likely love the characters and theming, but as an adult-only visit, I can’t recommend it.

The district features open-air cafes, boutiques, and street performers, making it a must-visit destination within the Anaheim area.
Disney! The masters of creating an environment that makes you want to spend money! We got there early so stores were not open yet, I think this saved me a bunch of money. You walk through security and into a world full of fun music and amazing store fronts that draw you in. Super cool place, I wish more was open than the coffee stand. Will go back next time we are in town and businesses are open.

The ambiance is colorful and contemporary. The gardens are gorgeous, and they have fun decorations for holidays. There are a lot of places to sit. It is nice to have so many places to eat with varying price points outside of the park. Most are on the expensive side. I loved the Salted Straw ice cream parlor, and they had mobile ordering. We watched a jazz trio perform that was so good! There are Disney related stores so you can find a lot of things that are in the park here. Wish there was a Bath and Body Works and some more quick service, less expensive places to eat. More bathrooms would be good too. It makes the walk to and from the park long, but you can catch a monorail.

The downtown area is very clean and there are lots of places to shop and eat. It's best to go here in the morning when the crowds aren't so thick. You can buy Disney souvenirs, pins, shirts, jackets and toys here as well as food. There is also a green turf space for kids to explore and parents to sit. The wide walk ways are appreciated but it would be nice to see more shaded seating and benches along the path.

You don’t need Disneyland tickets to enjoy Downtown Disney — it’s open to everyone, and it’s such a fun, vibrant spot to spend a few hours. There’s a quick security check as you enter, which actually makes the whole place feel safer. Once inside, it feels surprisingly global — lots of hotels around, people from everywhere, and a big open lawn area that often has live concerts and events. There’s something for everyone here — from the LEGO store and family-friendly food spots to cool bars and date-night restaurants. I spotted Din Tai Fung, a bowling alley, plenty of outdoor seating, and even a stage for live music. If you stay past 8 PM, you can catch the Disneyland fireworks from right there, which is a nice bonus. Parking is right outside and easy, but make sure to get your ticket validated when you dine or shop; otherwise, it’s pricey. We paid $10 after validation. I’d recommend making dinner reservations on weekends because it does get busy, especially Friday and Saturday nights. It’s about 15–20 minutes from Knott’s Berry Farm, so if you’re nearby or just want a fun evening out without going into the Disney park, Downtown Disney is a great option.

This is a free entry area, so perfect for the last day before you heading back to the airport after checking out from the hotel. There are free leaflets with good information about what you can get and where to find them. Don't forget to get your Lego passport stamped at their Lego store. There are plenty of beautiful spots for selfies, nice shops, and easy diner/lunch. The chicken wings from Black Tap was amazing and don't forget to grab beigniet from the beigniet express near Jaz kitchen.

Downtown disney has been changed so much. Most of stores, restaurants were gone, new ones have come. Even though I was not so well off 15 years ago, we used to roam around (couldn't buy, eat anything because it's so expensive.) I still miss those old days when my dream was flying over that downtown street. Yesterday, Monday night, so many people, so different scenery. I was searching for any memoirs that still could be remained, but in fail...

The Honda Center, a 17,000-seat stadium located in Anaheim, California, is a versatile venue that hosts a variety of events including hockey games featuring the Anaheim Ducks. Beyond sports, it is also known for hosting live concerts with major headlining tours and big names like The Weekend, James Taylor, and Michael Buble gracing its stage. Additionally, the center has been home to comedy shows and festivals.
Review of the Honda Center – Anaheim, CA The Honda Center is a top-tier venue that delivers a great experience for concerts, sports, and live events. The arena is clean, modern, and easy to navigate with helpful staff and plenty of signs to guide you around. Whether you’re there to catch a Ducks game or see your favorite artist live, the energy inside is always electric. Parking is organized and close by, though it can get a bit pricey, so plan ahead. Once inside, the seating is comfortable with good views from almost anywhere in the arena. The sound system is crystal clear during concerts, and the jumbo screen adds a great touch during games. Food and drink options are solid with everything from quick bites to local favorites. Be prepared for typical stadium pricing, but the convenience and quality usually make it worth it. Overall, the Honda Center is a well-run, fan-friendly venue that always brings the excitement. Definitely recommend checking out an event here if you’re in the Anaheim area!

First the good. The customer service team for the Ducks game were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. All staff around the arena, including the security staff couldn't have been more friendly. Got to sit in the lower bowl and everything was good. The view of the ice and the overall atmosphere. The venue feels like a cross between a hotel and a sports venue walking the outer corridors. It's an odd mix but it works. The bad has to be the concession stand. You queue to place an order on a screen. You add a name and phone number to be given a number. The number makes no difference as they just shout your name. Also it looks like a mess behind the counter of random items being placed and then moved to try to make whole orders. I ordered a fountain drink and watched orders placed after mine get delivered. Also there's no option to customise an order. Whoever implemented this system should try using it sometime as it doesn't seem to save time. Spent the whole intermission waiting.

Home of the Anaheim Ducks. First time visiting the Honda Center for a concert. Went to see the Jonas Brothers with my girls! Parking: Just like any stadium, finding a spot is a nightmare and getting in n out is even worse. Highly recommend getting dropped off and picked up down the street. Just walk a couple blocks down. Otherwise you’ll be stuck in unnecessary traffic. Food and drinks: They offered the usual beer, alcohol drinks, and some food. I didn’t eat or drink anything because prices were ridiculous. There’s a plaza a few blocks down that has Chipotle, Dave’s Hot Chicken, Panda Express, Carl’s Jr, etc. Seats: We sat in section 434, row R. Row R is the very top row. Seats are cushioned and comfy. This section has a clear view of the stage, and we saw all the screens. You can definitely feel the base vibrating throughout the stadium. The sound systems, lights, and pyro worked very well.

I'm a Penguins fan so brought myself to Anaheim Ducks' home opener. It was a beautiful sight. The Ducks organization and Honda Center expertly managed a sell out crowd; from pre opening events/giveaways outside, managing lines for security (their new efficient/no touch/effective system is wonderful!!) entry and then the show! The rink doused in an orange glow, Duck masks lining every seat in a sold out arena, multiple fierce Ducks flying overhead with glowing eyes ... the crowd was energized! Shoutout to the new garages with parking included (outstanding signage throughout for easy navigation) in the ticket! My team lost but I was thrilled for the home team. Rockstars managed this event!

Been here multiple times for different events. The latest one was WWE Monday Raw. It was my son's first WWE event so he had a blast. The one thing I love about the Honda Center is that there is no seating too far to enjoy the events. The uprights feel like you're mid level at a bigger stadium. My only complaint has been the same throughout the years, the parking. However, its cool to see that they invested in what seems to be a 3-4 level parking structure next to the stadium that will eliminate all the parking headaches. Prices for chips and sodas should be lowered a bit to make it more inviting for families considering everything is so damm expensive every where else. We shouldn't have to spend close to $40 dollars for 2 sodas, nachos and a bag of doritos!!!

Adventure City is a family-friendly amusement park located in Stanton, offering a variety of rides and attractions for all ages. Unlike the more popular theme parks in the area, Adventure City provides an affordable and less crowded experience. Visitors can enjoy small yet thrilling rollercoasters, a historic carousel from the 1940s, a petting zoo, and even a Thomas the Tank Engine zone for train enthusiasts to design their own tracks.
Took my 2 boys here for their first time on 1/3/25, ages 5 & 3. They were in the sweet spot and this park is great for ages 2-8 or so depending on their thrill level. I came here as a kid 20+ years ago and was thoroughly impressed by how well the park is maintained, clean, and operated. Bathrooms were great for families and the food was better than expected (see photo of the menu and prices). It was not that crowded despite it being Winter Break still so we rode everything multiple times and felt happy to leave after 3.5 hours and lunch inside the park. Overall it was a great visit!

We’ve been coming to this amusement park for my kids’ birthdays, and it’s become a family tradition we all look forward to! It’s the perfect size—not overwhelming like the huge theme parks, but still packed with fun. The ride lines are usually short, so the kids get to go on their favorites over and over again, which they love. One of the best parts is the small petting farm. It’s such a sweet touch and a great break from the rides—my kids enjoy petting the animals every time. It really adds to the charm of the park. Overall, it’s a fun, affordable, and family-friendly place that’s perfect for birthdays or just a weekend outing. Highly recommend for families with young kids!

I honestly did not have any good expectations for this place, but I was impressed! I always see the place driving by and didn't think it was even open anymore. It was actually my sister in law that wanted to bring the kids here. They state they're usually only open on the weekends and open all week during the summer. The place is much bigger than it looks. It has more than 10 rides. This is more kid friendly and a good place to introduce them to rides. They have a roller coaster that reverses. Prices were affordable. Food options are not bad. We got pizza and it was okay but not disgusting. If you want to eat food from home, you'd have to step outside, but you can come inside after. They even have Starbucks shop inside the park with an ice cream shop attached. Hope this place stays open for a long time!!

Adventure city was great Took my 16yrs, 12yrs, 2yrs, and 8 month baby. Typically my son cries when the place is crowded. Forst time going and he loved it. Due to summer camp, there were several schools there and the wait time was not bad. The longes we waited was 15 min. If you have older kids or if you would like to play in the arcade, it is better to purchase the card online vs. at the park. Staff is kind and very helpful. Take your own water and food if you are ina budget. The park is not that budget frindly if you have a big family.

It was my 5 year old daughters first time racing and the guy running thay track made her feel very comfortable and confident to have a blast. Thank you guys a again for a great time. We will be returning frequently!

Haven't been here in about 13 years, ... Somehow it's still just as much fun! This time we were here for a corporate function, and it was great time just like when we've come in the past with family. The only feedback I can share would be regarding the drinks and drink voucher system, but it's minor and thankfully the girl was fun enough to humor me and exchange my two tickets for a bottled water. I don't drink beer or soda so my options were a bit limited. But that's on me not them, I understand they are catering to their demographics 👍 Pro tip, bunch your groups together based on ability, its a lot more fun when the ones who are still learning are at a comfortable speed to learn and for the ones who can go fast... Well, bump up the speed baby and you get to go faster! Lol

Experience was really great with a little bit of stress. My son's birthday party (6 friends) was held there and there was initially trouble getting us checked in because the machine that puts money on arcade game cards was not working. We fell behind some other groups and at one point we thought we may be turned away. One of the managers resolved the issue. The kids were able to play arcade games, get in two races, have pizza and sliders, exchange gifts all in the 2.5 hours timeline that we were hoping for. The staff, despite having some technical issues, were friendly and worked to give us a good time. If I was to do it again, I would definitely invite enough kids that you work with their party planner and have your races locked in.

Lots of fun. Nice facility and with fairly good food and a bar. Getting in the carts definitely gets the adrenaline going. The staff are very helpful and very nice and understanding. They keep the drivers very safe, saw them limit the car one teenager was driving who ran into the back of several other carts. Slowed the cart down by remote. I understand if you have 8 drivers or more, they will let your group dive the track without others. We went on a Sunday morning and practically had the whole place to ourselves. So much fun.

Live music venue
American restaurant
Banquet hall
House of Blues Anaheim is a rock- and blues-themed restaurant and bar that offers Southern-inspired dishes along with live music. The venue originated in a historic house in Harvard Square, Cambridge, and has since become a premier destination for live music, original folk art, and Delta-inspired cuisine. With the mission to celebrate African American culture through the Blues, House of Blues continues to embody the Juke Joint spirit across all its locations.
Great location and excellent service. The street corn was so good with the perfect spice. Cornbread wasn't too dry. Salads were big. The music was so much fun to listen to while dining. The music artists took request which made the experience that much better. Drinks were perfect with a good beer selection on tap. Interior designs were very unique.

My experience at the House of Blues in Anaheim was disappointing. To begin with, it would be extremely helpful if the venue clearly communicated the actual concert start time. As it stands, the lack of clarity makes guests feel rushed and unsure about when to arrive. For example, the doors opened at 7 p.m., but the concert did not begin until 9 p.m. A long and frustrating wait that could have been avoided with clearer communication. The food options were mediocre at best. I regretted eating at the venue and would have preferred dining elsewhere, though I would have gladly purchased drinks on-site. In addition, the sound quality during the concert was poor, and the space felt oversold, which made the experience crowded and uncomfortable. The seating situation was also disappointing. The venue is standing-room only unless you pay an additional $115 per person (starting rate) for a reserved seat. While that option comes with a server and a 15% discount on food, it felt insulting and exploitative given the already low-quality and overpriced food. Parking at GardenWalk initially seemed convenient, with an option to pre-pay $4 for upfront validation. However, at the end of the night, I was surprised to see attendants simply waving cars out of the structure without charging anything. It felt like another unnecessary expense that only added to the frustration. Overall, I left disappointed with the entire experience. That said, I could see the House of Blues being a better fit for smaller, local bands where the crowd is more manageable, the sound system doesn’t have to carry as much, and the standing-room environment might feel more intimate rather than overcrowded. For bigger concerts, however, the quality and value simply don’t measure up.

This place is extremely intimate any where you sit you feel up close and personal to the performer! It a lot bigger inside. There’s many bar areas for you to grab a drink or two or maybe even three 😉 I was able to see Joey McIntyre #solojoe from New kids on the block he did back to back songs for 2 hours and I sat on the floor right next to the sound booth! Drinks are priced well for house of blues and there were plenty of space to walk around especially in front, bathrooms were clean and staff were extremely helping me fine my seat!

I realize you don't go to event venues for food, but it was a wonderful part of a fantastic evening and thought it worthwhile to share. A friend and I had VIP tickets to see Bilmuri, John Harvie and an opener, and figured we'd grab food on the way - but ran out of time due to traffic. Unsure what to expect, we arrived at the venue and enjoyed the VIP treatment. If you're a bit older, and prefer sitting for a show you're excited to see, the HOB does VIP RIGHT. A private lounge, multiple bars, FANTASTIC service crew (who kept our waters topped off throughout the night - #Hydration!), and a very comfortable elevated seating area rounded out the wonderful experience. Now, the food. My concert buddy ordered chicken tenders, which looked great, and I ended up getting the fried cauliflower bites and was delightfully surprised! While they were a touch greasier than I would've preferred, they were still tasty, crunchy and definitely satisfying. If you too are ever running late for a concert at this venue, I'd encourage you to give their restaurant a try. It was an experience I truly enjoyed and would happily visit and support again!

Ok! We went all the way from LA to Anaheim to watch Mr Marilyn Manson. We got at the House of Blues and OMG…there was NO space to stand…after spending almost $300 on merch (2 T-shirt, 1 patch, and 1 hoodie, and 1 hat) we spent $300 per ticket to “upgrade” to the “VIP” tickets - and you can see the “upgraded” tickets in the review pics! OMG! I wish I could take it “back”! This venue is a JOKE! Maybe might be cheaper to hire mister MM for a private concert than to go watch at the HORRID House of Blues…witch I’ve left feeling kindy blue…makes sense I guess…HORRIBLE VENUE! AVOID!!!!!!!

Den Cafe is a coffee shop that exudes a bohemian ambiance and offers an array of delectable pastries, soups, sandwiches, and burgers straight from the grill. One customer savored their delightful veggie burrito paired with seasoned and roasted potatoes, as well as a berry and banana French toast. The atmosphere at Den Cafe is truly captivating with its nude paintings, diverse art pieces, and intricate tapestries that invite patrons to immerse themselves in the surroundings.
Unique bohemian style, so different from modern clean cut coffee shop. Friendly staff, many brunch selections and relaxing atmosphere. We came early in the morning so it was easy to find street parking. I ordered original latte, it tasted light and lean compared to other coffee shops. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

The food was delicious! I got a red pepper, onion, and mushroom omelette/scramble with goat cheese and avocado crema, side of sourdough toast, and fresh fruit. Everything was fresh! The honeydew melon was super satisfying. They also make this amazing strawberry jam, in house, that pairs nicely with the toast or anything you want to dip into it. We will be back!

A hidden, delightful cafe experience in the OC area. The atmosphere and decor combined to create a relaxing dine in. The food was stunning and made for a delicious meal that we didn't want to cut into! The flavors had depth and provided a welcome, comforting taste. I had the chicken pesto sandwich with the fried potatoes. The combination of the marinated chicken with the pesto created a well balanced bite. We all ended up getting coffee or tea during our stay. I enjoyed a hot Mayan mocha. Overall a thoroughly pleasant afternoon at the Den Cafe.

From the moment you step into this delightful brunch spot, you're greeted by an ambiance that's both **cozy and vibrant**. The high ceilings and abundant windows invite a flood of natural light, creating an atmosphere that's perfect for a leisurely meal. Whether you choose to sit outdoors and soak up the sun or enjoy the airy indoor seating, you're in for a treat. The menu is a testament to the **culinary creativity** that this place prides itself on. Each dish is not only a feast for the eyes but also a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The brunch offerings are particularly noteworthy, with each ingredient shining through in a harmonious blend. And let's not forget about the bar – a treasure trove of **exquisite beers** that are as unique as they are refreshing. It's the perfect complement to the delectable food, ensuring that your brunch experience is nothing short of exceptional. In summary, if you're looking for a spot that promises **good food, great beers, and an unforgettable experience**, look no further. This place has it all, and then some.

McFadden Public Market is a trendy food hall and bar in Santa Ana with a vintage-chic atmosphere. It offers communal tables, handcrafted food, and 1980s arcade games for a fun dining experience. The market hosts live music on the first Friday of each month and themed nights like Whiskey and Wings. With its diverse food and beverage selection from local vendors, it's an ideal gathering place for friends.
The fries were not that fresh but the atmosphere was great! The arcade upstairs is very affordable, almost all of the games cost less than a dollar! The bartenders were also very friendly and entertaining to watch.

This placecis super cool I had pizza and wings that were pretty Damn good. The Mexican food however was very Lackluster. They did the old bait and switch on the Tacos since it was to go or maybe the person that was preparing them had never cooked before. But all in all had a good time and played some pinball upstairs

So far no vegan food available. Especially at night when the nightlife is most active! Why not have options to ALL peoples?! This is so discouraging I would not come back nor recommend to anyone I know. I’d also like to add the arcade eats your tokens and you can’t play 2 player games because they don’t work. Gen Z gets drunk and ruins the vibes. I stayed for the countdown and left immediately after. Wish it was a better experience.

The McFadden Public Market doesn't offer as big a selection of vendors as the 4th Street Market or the Anaheim Packing House, but if you're a fan of vintage arcade games you'll love this place. Rooster Republic does a good version of Nashville Hot chicken and Tacos En Tu Boca has a nice fusion of Filipino and Mexican cuisine. Mission Control has full bar service downstairs and upstairs. They also have pinball and videogames upstairs.

Ever since Casual Encounters Live Band Karaoke has been at this venue, a group of us singers attend every Tuesday night from 7:30-10:30. Now that Munchies Vegan Diner is open, there is even more reason to go! Great music, delicious food, and even an arcade and full bar upstairs. There also are other food options, and they are good too. As a vegan, Munchies is my personal favorite.

I’ve come during the week when it’s not very busy. I’ve come for Taco Tuesday. I’ve come Friday-Sunday. I love when they have DJ’s. It’s usually a younger college crowd. I usually sit at one of their booths or dance if I am feeling the music. They have a jukebox when they don’t have a DJ. They have a pretty big bar and seating along the bar. They remove tables from the middle in busy nights to have more room for a dance floor.

Had a great time seeing a band I love there . Mistress of Reality- Original all Fe+ Male Black Sabbath Tribute Band. They showed up to play despite having been evacuated because of the LA fires. ✨ I had not ever been here being new to the LA area.

We went and saw Combichrist at this venue, it was a very small and intimate show at this location. I have been attending metal and industrial/aggrotech shows for 20+ years and this was easily top 3 due to both the small venue and performance from the band. The staff was friendly enough and there were places to sit and chill, it is very very tiny so plan accordingly.

My review is based on the experience me and my friends had last night. This is the worst place I’ve ever been and I’m being specific to the lower lever. The place was extremely overcrowded no ventilation it was hard to breathe walking around was a mission the place fell unsafe. The securities were rude I will never on my life attend an event in this venue even if I was paid for it. It was so hot inside you could see the walls sweating and leaking all the humidity and sweat from all the attendees. On my video you can see the artist completely wet like if he was under the rain. Horrible the worst venue ever.

Attended the basement venue last night. I hr wait to get in , 1 hr for the band to come out. People were agitated , very tight and stuffy. Didn’t feel very safe after a guy started leaning back on me, I told him to get off and he didn’t so I had to push him off and he wouldn’t budge. He started to elbow me in the ribs so I told security what was happening and he sided with the man doing this to me. The security then rewards this guy that did this to me by taking him to the vip instead of putting me in a safer place, I talked to the manager and told him how the security guard handled the situation by siding with the man that did this to me. I didn’t feel like I was very safe in this establishment as a woman. Thank God the band was good. But it’s a big pass to return where the security for safety as a woman is an issue.

🌟 The ULTIMATE Fun Spot! Sky Zone is Beyond Amazing! 🌟 I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at Sky Zone—especially during the Night Glow event—was so incredible, I had to share. This isn't just a trampoline park; it's an absolute energy factory and a must-do for anyone looking for unforgettable fun! Night Glow: The Party of the Week! If you haven't been to Night Glow, stop what you are doing and book a session now. The moment the main lights go down and the blacklights fire up, the whole park transforms into an epic neon dance party. The combination of the pulsing music, the vibrant glow-in-the-dark gear, and the sheer energy of everyone jumping is truly electric. It felt less like an outing and more like a club, but for all ages! My friends and I were absolutely exhausted in the best way possible. It's the perfect mix of high-energy fun and a unique visual experience. The Staff Makes the Difference Honestly, the energy of the park is only rivaled by the positive attitude of the people who work there. From the moment we walked in, every single employee was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The court monitors are not just there for safety (though they are excellent at that); they engage with the guests, encourage high-fives, and keep the vibe incredibly positive. Every interaction—from checking in at the front desk to grabbing a drink—was smooth and pleasant. Big shout-out to the whole team for making us feel like valued guests! Membership: Incredible Value and Zero Regrets If you plan on going even semi-regularly, the membership is the way to go. It’s easily one of the best entertainment investments I’ve made. The pricing is fantastic for how much access you get, including discounts and, most importantly, consistent access to Night Glow and other special events. It takes the stress out of planning—we just show up whenever we want, and it always feels like we're getting a huge deal. It's the kind of value that makes Sky Zone feel like a second home. In summary: Sky Zone is a clean, safe, high-energy environment staffed by genuinely great people, and the Night Glow event alone is worth the trip. If you're on the fence about the membership, jump in—you won't regret it! Shoutout to Bella and Tony we’re making this experience unforgettable
