Anaheim - What you need to know before you go - Go Guides

Anaheim is known around the world as the home of the Disneyland® Resort. This vast complex encompasses theme parks, hotels, entertainment venues, and shops. There’s more to Anaheim than a certain famous mouse, though, and sporty visitors can smack a puck around at Anaheim Ice, the area’s public rink, or catch an Angels baseball game.

Delve into Anaheim’s history downtown—the Mother Colony House is the city’s oldest home. And if you want to escape the theme-park crowds, a visit to the Anaheim Packing House food hall—set in a 20th-century fruit-packing house—offers a taste of old-world charm and gourmet dining.
