Disneyland Park in Anaheim, America's most popular theme park, is a must-visit attraction with its eight themed "lands" offering over 60 major rides, 50 shops, and 30 restaurants. The iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle stands as the landmark of Fantasyland while other original lands like Tomorrowland and Adventureland feature classic attractions such as the Jungle Cruise and Autopia.
Thank God for each of the cast members, honestly. We had misplaced our backpack with our CARKEYS in it and the workers helped efficiently find them completely turning around my worry or fear. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping us locate our lost items making my daughters 1ST BIRTHDAY, THE BEST DAY EVER!!!! Also Minnie was literally the sweetest thing ever. She was sooooooooooooo gentle and sweet to my baby girl and really took her time with her. I’m not a Minnie fan but after today she made my heart melt and completely won me over & im sure my daughter included. Also whoever worked on lighting and design for the water show at California is incredibly talented and deserves a raise. The team did such a good job capturing emotions and leaving us in awe! And my husband is a lighting engineer which says a lot ahaha. All in all, such an amazing time and it was literally because of how awesome the cast members were!!! OH and not to mention but my son was dressed up as Darth Vader and the storm troops were so awesome to stop him and compliment his fit and spent genuine time with him too. Just over all such a great day in between what could have ended up in such a disaster without our car key! Thank you so much Disney ❤️

Worth every penny! Disneyland and California Adventure are a must-visit. We celebrated my daughter's fifth birthday here, and we rode 99% of the rides over 3 days. She is 42 inches tall. Our top 5 favorite rides were: 1. Tiana's Bayou Adventure 2. Radiator Springs Racers 3. Matterhorn Bobsleds (my daughter's least favorite) 4. Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark 5. Haunted Mansion I highly recommend getting the Lightning Pass; you'll regret it if you don't! The fireworks show is only on weekends. Wear comfortable shoes—there's lots of walking!

Great time, despite ticket prices being high i feel like is wasn't as expensive inside the park as I thought it would be. Snacks and treats were pretty affordable. Loved the new star wars area. The haunted mansion was amazing. Only complaint is there were few character meetings. Line wait times were good around 45 minutes for the longest.

It's a very beautiful and entertaining place. Very fun to visit and the attractions are amazing. If you're expecting sort of extreme attractions, you might get disappointed. This park is more for family in general. If you hate walking, you might not like it. You have to walk A LOT, and I mean A LOT. Also, if you think about buying a tickets for both parks for ONE day, I wouldn't recommend it that much. I bought a ticket for only one, and I wasn't able to get on all rides and explore the whole park. I got there like at 10am and left until 9pm. The park is very big. Overall, is was a great experience, definitely good for small or younger children! I do think teenagers and adults can enjoy it a lot, but I it was more directed to children.

This has always been my happy place. A considerable expense, but the marvelous staff, exciting attractions, immersive experiences make it worth it. The Disneyland app was a fantastic help in checking ride times, checking menus for restaurants. The lightning lane multi pass was very helpful in shortening wait times and making it easier for our autistic grandson to endure waiting in line.

Went late, around 10am-ish, on a Friday. A lot of people but not bumper-to-bumper-lot-of-people. Wait times manageable, and expected to be long. Need to visit at least twice to really know your way around. Download the app so it's easy to navigate around the park. If possible, order food via the app so you can just pick it up by their window.

My visit to Disneyland Park was truly magical and unforgettable! ✨ The park looked beautifully decorated for Halloween, with glowing pumpkins, themed lights, and festive music that set the perfect mood. 🎃 The Indiana Jones Adventure was absolutely thrilling, and the Haunted Mansion with its Halloween overlay was a perfect mix of spooky and fun. 👻 The Pirates of the Caribbean ride was classic and well done, but what really brought back childhood memories were the Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan’s Flight rides timeless favorites that never lose their charm. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean, organized, and full of energy. Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with nostalgia, excitement, and that one-of-a-kind Disney magic!

Took the Niece and Nephew for their visit and of course they loved it! The park wasn’t too crowded on this Thursday and we were able to get in many rides without waiting in line for too long. We had reservations for lunch at Cafe Orleans and I was a bit disappointed because we still had to wait 30 minutes when we had a reservation. The food and service was great though and made us forget about the wait.

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.

Our family had a wonderful time here. Our 9 year old granddaughter lived the raft ride. My favorite is the Cars Racers. My 12 year old grandson liked the Guardians of the Galaxy tower (formerly Tower of Terror). Don't miss California Soaring.

Pretty cool, even for an adult that was there with buddies who have kids. They really did a good job for Halloween.. of course the tickets cost waaaay too much, but you cant take the money with you when you die, so whatever.

Pizza restaurant
Step into The Pizza Press, a charming eatery that transports you back to the 1920s with its nostalgic ambiance. This unique spot specializes in custom pizzas, allowing you to craft your own culinary masterpiece or choose from their creatively named signature pies like The Chronicle and The Sun. With an emphasis on personalization, each pizza is a story waiting to be told—perfect for those who love to experiment with flavors.
First time here. Absolutely amazing pizza. 😋🤤 the ricotta cheese, fresh basil & Cut up cherry tomatoes 😚🤌💋 we added Canadian bacon to ours. The atmosphere was cute. Fun family oriented. I told my daughter I wish we had this back at home. I loved the way the pizza is pressed right in front of you as well as cooked in the oven after they hand make your pizza (also they don't weigh the cheese! 😋🧀!) The giant fed my 3 children and I. (13, 15 & 22) we had the cheese bread as well which was divine. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting. Whether to he take out to to bring the family. We did not have anything other than this pizza and cheesy bread.

Looking for a quick, customized pizza? This is your place. Located right outside the Disneyland gates, across Harbor drive. The pizza was piping hot but the crust needed a little longer bake. We were able to use forks or fold the pizza to make it work. The staff was helpful and friendly.
Jeffrey J — Google review
Possibly the best Pizza (outside of Italy?!?) I've had so far....hidden gem, close to the Anaheim Convention Center and Disney Anaheim. We had a regular sized "The Times" chicken, Rays sweet bbq drizzled on top, grape tomatoes, smoked Gouda, cilantro. And we ordered a garlic cheese bread. The crust is thin and cooked crisp to perfection, flavors are excellent. Price is reasonable for Anaheim, 17$ for the regular pizza and 11$ for the garlic bread. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. I was sad we had it on our last day in Anaheim, because I wanted to try more flavours. Just try it for yourself, you won't regret!

🍕 The Pizza Press – Anaheim (Near Disneyland) Location: Right on Harbor Blvd & Disney Way, across from the Disneyland drop-off area and main entrance. On the north side, you’ll see Grand Legacy Hotel, and The Pizza Press is right next to The Anaheim Hotel, even connected through a small indoor hallway. Parking: Turn right from Harbor Blvd into the lot — left side is for The Pizza Press, right side leads to The Anaheim Hotel parking. Super convenient! Atmosphere: Spacious interior with around 20–25 tables, and there’s also a nice outdoor patio where you can enjoy your pizza and people-watch. Great for both small and large groups. Ordering Process: Similar to Blaze Pizza or Pieology — you can build your own pizza or choose from their signature pies. One thing to note: they don’t offer a mini/single-size pizza, which might be a downside for solo eaters. Service & Food: When I visited, there were about 3–4 people ahead of me, and my pizza came out in 4–5 minutes — super fast! Staff were friendly and efficient. Pizza quality was decent to above average, and the overall experience was great — quick service, tasty pizza, and clean space. ⭐ Overall: A solid 4.5-star spot for a quick lunch or dinner near Disneyland. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving a good, fast-casual pizza! 🍕🙌

Love the food. Its a pizza place where you can order a on the menu or build your own pizza. They have about 4 crust choices, so many toppings, veggies, meat, cheeses and other drizzle toppings to put on your pizza. The only think I dint like was there soda machine wasnt the best, but its clean and a great to get pizza before going to Disney or hanging out with family.

JUAN is #1! From the moment we walked in, this was the perfect spot to celebrate our honeymoon. We were seated at a table with a breathtaking view overlooking both Disneyland and California Adventure—watching the lights twinkle and the parks come alive while we dined felt truly magical. Then came the service… and wow. Juan, our server, was beyond outstanding. He struck the perfect balance—attentive, friendly, and personable—while never interrupting a conversation or checking in with a mouthful of food. He made us feel like VIP guests the entire evening. The food was just as memorable as the view and service. My wife ordered the crafted burger, cooked exactly to her preference, with perfectly golden, crispy fries that were addictive from the first bite. I went with the chicken nachos, which were generously loaded with toppings and packed with flavor in every single bite. Every plate that hit our table felt made with care. As if that wasn’t enough, Juan surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our honeymoon—a beautiful plate with fresh strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, and decadent tiramisu. It was such a thoughtful touch and truly made the night unforgettable. Between the magical view, delicious food, and top-tier service from Juan, this dinner was the kind of experience we’ll be talking about for years.

Came here for a bachelorette trip and it was the perfect vibes for the trip. The bride is a huge Disney fan so being right across from the parks and having Disney inspired drinks was a plus for the vibes. The staff were all great and our server was very friendly and had a lot of good jokes. I don’t know if this is a rule for groups (we had a group of 8) but the minimum for each of us had to be $40, which was really easy to reach between drink, apps, and dinner. I got the filet mignon tacos and Let That BOYgo which were both really good!

We had an event here and the venue itself was amazing. It kicked ass watching the Disney fireworks from there. Everything is great here except that we couldn’t order from the regular menu. That rubbed me the wrong way. We should have been allowed to but I guess they don’t like money.

Stopped by this roof top bar and restaurant after a long day at the convention center. The motel/hotel is small and only 4 floors and lol we expected a more luxury hotel. For the restaurant they only have valet parking at $17 and you don’t get validation. The bar and restaurant don’t open until 5 so we had to go next door to Tony romas to get drinks. Afterwards we went upstairs give we had already parked. They had a private event there so we only had the bar tops to contend to. Ordered drinks and food at the bar. We ordered loaded tots for appy but it took way too long for it to come out. And then our food came lite 2 mins later. I got the surf and turf tacos. Couldn’t see how it looked but tasted decent.

We had a great experience! Would def come again.

Italian restaurant
Restaurant
Anaheim White House is a high-end restaurant located in a historic old home, offering formal Italian dining in a regal setting. The owner and executive chef, Bruno Serato, is renowned for his philanthropy and fine-dining Italian cuisine. Standout dishes include lobster ravioli, gourmet pizza, and signature steamed salmon 'chocolat.' The restaurant also offers private cellar dining experiences with a five-course feast featuring French-influenced Northern Italian fare.
Elegance, stylist and unique! What a beautiful restaurant! We come here for the first time but it seems like we already know the place for a long time. The reason is we listen to KFI640 and every year they would the station would team up with the Anaheim White House for the so call PastaThon to benefit the Caterina's Club. Every year they would set a new record raising so many pounds of pasta so they can provide for the needy. What a great way to give back to society. So we always wanted to find out how this infamous local place is like. The moment we walked in, we keep saying wow, wow, wow .. the furniture, the decor, the setting of the dining rooms and outdoor are just exceptional. I really recommend dressing up a little bit to fit the setting although I don't think they have a dress code. I might be wrong. But dressing up a little bit to go to such a nice place is a treat by itself! We ordered the fish and steak. The food is outstanding as well. Service was a bit slow, don't know if that's the way it is or it was just busy. Overall it was a dining experience that can't be forgotten! FYI, Parking is all valet and it's $6.

Our experience at the Anaheim White House was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. It was my first time dining here, and we were warmly welcomed by Chef Bruno— a gracious and memorable touch that set the tone for the evening. We started with the fresh calamari and their house salad with a passion fruit vinaigrette — both were outstanding. For dinner, I had the Atlantic Cod, which was cooked to perfection and truly exceptional. We ended the evening with their signature dessert, the soufflé, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Every detail of the meal and the atmosphere reflected elegance and genuine hospitality.

Came here for my sisters bridal shower dinner. There was 14 of us. It’s such a beautiful place. Especially in the evening. We sat outside which is so spacious. At night the trees light up and it’s even prettier. Our server Jay was awesome. He made sure to check up on us constantly and got our order and food at a decent amount of time. The food was delicious!!! We ordered appetizers, pastas, steak and dessert. And it was all amazing. Reservation process was easy and even though I had to change the amount of people a few times they were super nice every time I called to change it or responded quick on the Open table app. Totally recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Anaheim White House Restaurant Dining at the Anaheim White House Restaurant was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had. A hidden gem in the heart of Anaheim, this fine dining gem offers more than just amazing food, it delivers a story, a mission, and hospitality that leaves a lasting impression. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were warmly welcomed and treated like family, and the evening only got better from there. The gourmet Italian dishes were absolutely amazing, every dish was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. It was so impressive that we came back the very next night during our short visit to Anaheim! A special highlight of our experience was meeting Bryan, the manager, who went above and beyond to share the rich history of the Anaheim White House and its inspiring mission. We were touched to learn that a portion of every dollar spent helps feed local children in need through the restaurant's nonprofit initiative. It’s rare to find a place where luxury and philanthropy, come together so seamlessly. To top it all off, we were given a private tour of the historic mansion, adding another layer of charm to an already magical evening. If you're looking for the best fine dining in Anaheim, with world-class food, outstanding service, and a heartwarming story behind it all, I can’t recommend the Anaheim White House enough. Whether you're visiting Disneyland, attending a convention like we were, or just looking for a special night out, this is one place you absolutely must experience!

Water & Amusement Parks
Knott's Berry Farm, California's original theme park, offers a mix of fast rides and old-fashioned charm on its 160-acre property. The park features thrilling roller coasters, an authentic 1800s ghost town, and a partnership with the Peanuts characters for meet-and-greets. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal attractions like the Knotts Boysenberry Festival celebrating the farm's berry roots.
I recently became a season pass holder at Knott’s Berry Farm, and I can honestly say Knott’s never disappoints! For the Halloween and fall season, the park goes all out, there isn’t a single section that isn’t decorated. From spooky touches to festive fall details, everywhere you look feels immersive and full of energy. The team members are always friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. You can tell they care about creating a fun experience for everyone. I highly recommend getting a season pass. It’s worth every penny, and with how often Knott’s updates their seasonal themes and decorations, there’s always something new to enjoy. Knott’s Berry Farm continues to set the bar high for theme park experiences!

Make sure to visit that one after 10:30 pm.

Security was quick and only my daughter’s backpack was flagged. Once we got into the park it was a very cool atmosphere! I loved the old miner/western feel. We hiked to the closest roller coaster which was the Silver Bullet, which is a feet hanging one. My kids had not really been on a roller coaster - this was their first one… and what a first! It was a blast; hardly any line! We continued through the park and went on a bunch of rides with minimal wait times. So much more relaxing than Disneyland… and can’t beat the affordable price especially with a family of seven. We opted for the meal plan and even with that it was a fraction of Disneyland. Thank you Knott’s Berry Farm for a great day filled with a fun, safe and exciting atmosphere!

Season passes are worth every penny. Make sure to also purchase the parking pass. Halloween is Super fun, kids get to Trick or Treat. Whenever we go we always are able to ride a bunch of rides. You are able to bring in your own food and drinks. The lines are not very long. Bring your Flip Flops or Crocks for the Water rides. There is something for all ages to enjoy. Go there make Memories, time is fleeting.

We had a fantastic visit for my birthday to Knott's Scary Farm. The mazes are all so different and being able to ride some of the biggest & baddest roller coasters in the park at night added to the fun! The characters all around the park are there to scare you! And are wildly entertaining. We made it to a couple shows before leaving for the night. We recommend the Fast Pass if you can swing it. It's the difference between waiting 90 minutes in line and waiting 15 minutes, so you can see A LOT more with it.

Knott's Scary Farm is a total blast!! We had a great time! The scary music, the scary actors walking around, the rides and the haunted houses where all so good! We arrived at 7pm when the park opened and got back to our hotel room at 1am! Super fun time!!! Last year we went to Universal Studios for Halloween festivities and that was a total dud....

Knott’s Scary Farm Review Knott’s Scary Farm delivered a thrilling and chilling experience that lived up to its reputation as a premier Halloween event, though it had its highs and lows. The maze lines moved surprisingly fast, which was a huge plus. I was able to dive into the heart-pounding mazes without much waiting, each one packed with eerie theming and jump scares that kept my adrenaline pumping. The scare actors roaming the park were a highlight—popping out of the shadows and startling guests with perfect timing. Their energy added to the spooky atmosphere, and it was both exciting and terrifying to watch them in action. However, the ride lines were a different story. They dragged on much longer, testing my patience at times, especially for popular attractions. It was a bit of a buzzkill after the quick-moving maze lines. The park’s ambiance was delightfully creepy, with dim lighting and foggy corners that made every step a little unnerving—sometimes too dark, which added to the fright factor but could feel disorienting. I was hyped to try the much-talked-about Final Cake, hoping for a unique treat to cap off the night. Unfortunately, it was a letdown. For $18, it wasn’t worth it—lacking in flavor and not nearly as exciting as the event itself. I’d recommend skipping it and spending your money on some of the better food options available, like a hearty meal to fuel you through the scares. Overall, Knott’s Scary Farm was a blast for its mazes, scare zones, and creepy vibe, but the long ride lines and overpriced Final Cake were drawbacks. If you’re going for the scares, you won’t be disappointed—just plan your time wisely and maybe grab a burger instead of the dessert!

This was my first time going. It was pretty packed with school trips and families. We rode some rides, got the all day drink cup for $18.99, and ate at Johnny Rockets which was delicious. The decor is fun and pretty well maintained. The train was cool, and having characters interact with riders on the ride was fun. The observation tower gave good views of the area. Parking wasn't too terrible and was well lit after dark. The funnel cakes are out of this world!

Food court
Sights & Landmarks
Live music venue
The Anaheim Packing District is a trendy food court located just a short distance from Disneyland. Housed in a renovated 1919 citrus-packing house, it features over 30 food stalls and restaurants offering a diverse range of cuisines, including grilled cheese, ramen, Cajun seafood, organic curry, and more. The district's historic buildings have been transformed into spaces for local vendors and bars such as Monkish Brewing, Umami Burger, Unsung Brewing Company, and Pali Wine Company.
Cool place, kind like a fancy food court with many independent restaurants and common places to seat, eat and drink. It has a nightly-life type of atmosphere and tends to be trendy and busy. It is also suited for families as well. I would highly suggest giving it a try!

Amazing place to visit and very cool concept. Disappointed with the quality of food at the Mediterranean restaurant and I’m sure each spot has its own quality and service. You will find mostly Asian and Mexican food here along with bars. We visited Blind Rabbit speakeasy and was the highlight of our visit. Lots of families on the weekend and parking near impossible so we used valet.

Wow! this place is perfect if you know what you're craving. there's an abundance of options and a lively environment!!! great for pictures, videos (if you're an influencer), or a place to go with friends. great date spot too! the boba at mini monster was soooo good.

Vibrant and fun atmosphere - lots of restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating as well. Fun decor outside. Lively music! Upon entry, there are some small, business vendors with beautiful handmade items to peruse. Could easily spend a lot of time here with family friends and just relax. Parking is very crowded near the very front of the Packing House. Don’t even try it. Save yourself the hassle and go to the parking structures on either Center Street Promenade, the City Hall, or the Community Center on East Center Street and Olive street. Walking to the Packing House is only 2-3 minutes. Real easy.

I absolutely loved this place! It’s housed in a huge warehouse-style building, a vibrant, modern food hall—it reminded me a lot of the lively food courts you find in Europe. Inside, there’s an amazing variety of options—small businesses offering everything from Indian, Asian, and Mexican food to fish and chips, ramen, and more. The choices can be overwhelming (in the best way), but the great thing is, if you don’t love your first pick, you can always try something else from a different business. Once you place your order, you can either grab a table or split up—someone in your group can hold a spot while others order. Parking is free on the street, though it may take a few loops to find a spot. We got lucky and found one right away. Service was friendly and efficient at every business I tried. I had the ramen and the floating noodles, and both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area—great food, great vibe, and a fun way to support local vendors all under one roof!

The Anaheim Packing District is one of my favorite spots to hang out, eat, and just enjoy the vibe. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with this cool, laid-back atmosphere that feels both historic and trendy. It’s built inside a beautifully restored citrus packing house, and they’ve really kept the charm while making it modern. What I love most is the variety—so many different food stalls with everything from Asian fusion and gourmet grilled cheese to artisan desserts and cocktails. There’s literally something for everyone, and it’s perfect for groups or families because everyone can pick what they want. My personal favorite? The fish tacos and the mochi donuts. And if you like drinks, you’ll find some great craft options too. The place is lively but not overwhelming. You’ve got live music sometimes, indoor and outdoor seating, and even a cute little bar in a train car outside. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but it’s worth it. Overall, it’s a fun and unique spot with great energy, good food, and a chill crowd. It's definitely a must-visit if you're in the Anaheim area. I keep coming back—and always discover something new.

This place was nice, had comfortable feeling. I only went to one part of it. Apparently the Packing District has alot of different stores in each building, restaurants people saling items. I went to two different restaurants. I ended up chosing the fish and chip restaurants which almost everyone had it at their table. I also had a steak sandwich with pesto. They both were delicious. If your in Anaheim you need visits this place. The atmosphere is very quite and just really lovely.

Wowza. This was one of the best foodhalls I have visited in the world -- light and lively vibes, great architecture and design all around, and a wide variety of food and beverage options comfortably and fashionably sprinkled throughout the two story structure. Highly recommended if you're in Anaheim.

Beaches
Crystal Cove State Park, located between Newport and Laguna Beaches in Orange County, California, offers a 3.2-mile beach with sandy coves and tide pools. The park spans 2,400 acres of land for hiking and biking, providing well-marked walking trails along chaparral-covered bluffs.
The perfect day trip from LA! We took the boardwalk trail which is surrounded by gorgeous flowers this time of year. Lots of look out points and benches to sit down and take in the cliff side views. The trail takes you down to the beach where you can find countless tide pools! Further down the beach there are multiple restaurants, the visitors center and of course gorgeous coastline. A nature lovers paradise!

If you’re in Newport Beach, this is worth a visit! Amazing views and not very much crowding. Be prepared to walk up and down steep trails to get to the beach. Beautiful scenery

We love this State park. Make sure to go at Low tide so you can enjoy the many tide pools. We have found some cool things in them from Lobsters and an Octopus once. The walk on the beach is awesome from pelican point south to Beachcombers and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the beach. But make reservations or it’s an hour wait. The walking trails are awesome overlooking the ocean.
Chad G — Google review
Crystal Cove State Park is absolutely stunning! From the moment you arrive, the views of the ocean and coastline take your breath away. The hiking trails are well-maintained and offer a mix of easy strolls and more challenging climbs, all with incredible scenic overlooks. Walking along the beach, especially at low tide, reveals tide pools full of fascinating sea life. The beach itself is pristine, with soft sand, clear blue water, and plenty of rocky areas for kids and adults to explore. There are several access points and parking lots, making it convenient to find a spot. The visitor center is helpful and welcoming, and the bathrooms are clean, definitely a plus! We enjoyed stopping at the nearby restaurants along the beach for a meal while soaking in the ocean views. Whether you’re hiking, exploring tide pools, or just relaxing by the water, Crystal Cove is the perfect getaway. Highly recommend bringing a camera. The sunsets here are unforgettable!
Leslie M — Google review
what to expect: follow your GPS to the location. It tells you where the state park is only to be stopped by a passive aggressive security guard who pointed out that there was a stop sign behind the tree. The guard will become a little nicer and then point out that there is parking across the street for a mere $15 but there is a shuttle. He fails to tell you that the shuttle cost two dollars each way so you take all of that and you eventually get down to a mediocre beach with a pretty good restaurant, not much else actually. There are some quaint houses that you can rent out and that seems appealing, but as far as the whole package is concerned, unless you’ve never been to the beach before, it is a pass.
Mark G — Google review
What great beach. $20 a day pass. Clean, blue water. Rocks to climb on. There are several paths to get down to the beach. Upon entering, make a left and park at the end of the lot. Take the paved path next to the bathrooms down to the water. Its still pretty steep. Kids had a blast.
Justin — Google review
I love to go to this place. I went super early and got to see the sunrise. Beach was not too crowded when I got there in the morning. Water was very clear and clean. I saw about six different species of fish swimming in the kelp/ sea grass and rock reef while snorkeling. Be prepared to walk down to the beach and uphill back to the parking lot but it's definitely worth it.
Jon L — Google review
Absolutely Serene. I visited on a weekday. This place felt very open to our sky, ocean and natural world. Crystal Cove was not crowded with people. Good place for relaxation & recreation with a view. Pack a picnic lunch or find nearby park concessions. Purchase a California State Park Day or Multi-Day Pass. Enjoy this beauty and other California state beach parks on a day journey along the Pacific Coast Highway. Tip: The stairs leading to beach have an uneven surface and are a bit wonky to walk down. There is a walking ramp located nearby that is a more stable alternative to provide better footing, if needed.

Indian restaurant
Adya is a vibrant culinary hotspot located in the Anaheim Packing House, where the rich flavors of Indian street food meet the refreshing notes of craft beer and wine. This restaurant, led by Chef Shachi Mehra, offers a modern take on traditional Indian dishes, inviting diners to embark on an exciting gastronomic journey.
This spot is located within the Packing House and easy to miss if you don’t cover every corner. The two items we tried were both excellent. On the menu, the Lamb Biryani and Malai Chicken are Halal but there are so many vegetarian and seafood options the difficulty is only what to choose.

Among the many eateries inside the Anaheim Packing District, I chose Adaya, as it had been a while since I last had Indian food. The vibrant wall posters and the image of the chef stirred my craving for something flavorful. However, my choice of Chicken Tikka Masala felt like it was missing something, and the naan didn't quite meet my expectations. On a positive note, the masala tea was enjoyable.
Xavier K — Google review
I've tried most restaurants at the packing district, but not all - and I'm finding it difficult to finish, because I only ever want to eat at Adya. Tucked away in the corner, this quick counter service spot serves up incredibly flavorful dishes. Their curries, biryani, tandoori and fusion offerings are great. Especially be on the lookout for their specials. I had a pav bhaji once that was excellent. I also love that you can watch them cook in the tandoor ovens. It's just a fun and delicious experience overall that you'd do well not to miss.

Bakery
Porto's Bakery and Cafe, with multiple locations in the Los Angeles area, is a popular Cuban bakery known for its lively atmosphere and delicious offerings. Visitors can indulge in a variety of freshly baked goods, including cheese rolls, potato balls, and guava-filled pastries. The cafe also serves up Cuban sandwiches and other Latin snacks like tamales and croquetas de pollo or de jamon.
Gosh this place is hella busy and there is always a line up. To our surprise they are very efficient in moving the line up though but expect at-least a 30 mins wait. May not be a good place to get your caffeine in, especially if you are on the go. Decent baked goods. The match drink is okay if you like a light matcha taste. We prefer a strong bold Matcha taste and this one is far from offering that. These are everywhere in Los Angeles and they have build a reputation cafe place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Porto’s Bakery – Buena Park, CA Porto’s Bakery in Buena Park is truly one of my favorite places to visit whenever I’m in Southern California! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and coffee instantly makes you smile. The display cases are filled with irresistible treats—my personal favorites are the guava pastries, cheese rolls, and of course, the famous potato balls. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Even though Porto’s is incredibly popular and always busy, the customer service is exceptional. The staff is friendly, efficient, and there are always plenty of them to keep things moving quickly. The line might look long, but it moves fast thanks to how well organized everything is. The establishment is spotless, from the counters to the cafe area, and it’s such a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries. Speaking of coffee—theirs is delicious and pairs perfectly with any of their baked goods. Parking can get a little crowded, especially on weekends, but it’s worth it every time. Porto’s is a true Southern California staple—a must-visit for anyone who loves great food, great service, and an all-around delightful experience!

We can't leave California without visiting PORTO'S - IYKYK!!! The guaranteed long lines, no matter when you go confirms how incredibly good this bakery is! Prices are very reasonable and bakery items are heavenly made. It really is that good! We got the coffee cake this time as well as their signature guava pastries and everything else on the menu, lol. This is a 10000% cheat day that's well worth it! Ordered a vanilla chai Latte which was perfect. They have an efficient system to take your order. Plenty of seating and staff is sweet!

114/10 My first time at this spot(Buena Park), we ordered cheese rolls, guava pie and Cubano (Cuban Sandwich). The Cubano comes with plantain chips, crispy! I really like the Cubano, the meat is flavorful and the portion is big, can share with two people. The guava pie is just sweet, not my jam. The cheese rolls are my all time favorite, classical comfort food! We also bump into a Labubu meet up group haha, they are so cute!!

Portos is great, bakery, drink, everything. Only one thing that needs huge improvement... traffic. If ever they are reading this review, put several staffs at the parking lot (or the exit) to help with traffic in and out. I am sure they can afford or spare several people to do that. FYI, average wait time for bakery is about 25 - 40 mins at least on weekend.

Went to Buena Park location on Saturday morning. Line outside to get in. It was not too bad of wait lines moves quickly. All the counters I went to order/pick up were all quick. Everyone know what they are doing. Great customer service! Picked up 6 dozens cheese rolls, 2 dozens guava cheese, 2 dozens dulcet de leche besito cookies for work trip to out of state. Got breakfast sandwich and guava juice. Everything always great at Portos! I wish there are more locations. Hopefully one day they'll expend to San Diego, airports and other states!

With its multi-level patio, it provides the perfect setting for enjoying California-influenced seasonal cuisine and sipping on wine or cocktails. Whether you visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the restaurant promises a luxury dining experience with live music and breathtaking ocean vistas.

The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great. We arrived without a reservation and were told it’s an hour and a half wait. We found a great bar behind the main restaurant which is still part of the same restaurant where they serve. Live music and the atmosphere was wonderful. highly recommend.

Every time we come into Laguna Beach, we go to the cliff restaurant first for the food and service it also since it’s very dog friendly with a dog menu. They have live music right outside. As spectacular views of the sunset. Steven, our server was fantastic and the food was amazing as always. It may be a little bit costly but well worth it. Yesterday we went for just appetizers and today we went for a full meal. That’s how much we enjoy this place. Our pup extremely enjoyed her chicken breast with rice.

The food - amazing. The drinks - amazing. The service - amazing. The view - also amazing LOL. Tara was such a great server, so friendly and sweet and everything she recommended was so good! The only thing I will say (but this is not a reason to not come here immediately) is that for the price, I’d expect better/nicer tables and chairs… but truly not a deal breaker for this place.

We had a fantastic lunch at The Cliff! The oceanfront view is absolutely breathtaking dining under the blue umbrellas with the sound of waves crashing below made it such a relaxing and memorable afternoon. The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the crispy calamari, which was perfectly cooked and served with tasty sauces and a squeeze of lemon so good! We also had creamy shrimp pasta and penne with marinara, both flavorful and satisfying. The refreshing drinks were the perfect touch for a sunny beachside lunch. One tip: Make sure to make a reservation or join the waitlist ahead of time. especially on weekends we were on the waiting list for 2 hours, but it was definitely worth it!

It wasn’t bad, but I am not sure I want to come back. I don’t like that calamari is a thick piece sliced into strips in a thickly breaded crust. Fish and chips were average.

Such a perfect spot for a relaxing meal with breathtaking scenery. Can’t wait to come back!

No more seafood tower. Waaagh! At least "The Clffdiver" bloody mary cocktail is still brimming with bacon, a shrimp and a claw. The Alaskan Halibut substitute for cod is a good thing. The Shrimp Cocktail was filled with cabbage upon which the cocktail sauce was poured and I wonder who thought of that because I didn't want to have cabbage in my shrimp cocktail and now I have so little sauce that my shrimp could be dunked. Scraped it off the cabbage best I could but what little I could extract was made watery for the effort. Sadly this is a departure from the norm for both the dish and the restaurant.
