The liveliest city in Orange County, USA invites Kiwis to enjoy golden beaches, eclectic dining, pro-sports and (of course) Disneyland Resort.

PICK N' MIX OF FABULOUS FLAVOURS.

Because taste buds aren't content with anything less than exceptional, Anaheim has upped the ante with Anaheim Packing District. This once abandoned warehouse is now a multi-storey food emporium, packed with low-key food stalls, swanky establishments and the artisanal BXCR wine bar. Our favourite eateries include soul food at Georgia's, Orange Tei's healthy Japanese and Adya Indian street food. Followed by (or preceded by) a tasty tipple at Anaheim Brewery, located inside the Packard Building just next door. Check with your House of Travel consultant for more of our Anaheim foodie must dos.

LIFE'S A BEACH.

Orange County's beaches are everything you'd expect from Southern California – long stretches of golden sand, surfers, volleyball and roller skaters. Newport has a strong community vibe and plenty of delicious seafood restaurants: white fish tacos come as standard, as do the surfers straight out of the sea. Huntington is super laid-back but chic too, while Laguna's Pacific-splashed sands are framed by dramatic cliffside. Perfect for revitalising beach walks.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED A BEER.

When the Californian sun is blazing, there's nothing better than an ice-cold beer, and with almost two dozen craft breweries freckling the city, the sip of elixir is never far away. The Tasting Room at Legends Craft Brewery is open daily, with handcrafted, all-natural sodas for those abstaining. Anaheim Brewery has a large, sun-drenched beer garden, and OC Brewhouse pours its signature -1.6°C blend from a specialised Blizzard Beer System. But that's just the beginning. In Anaheim, there's always someone ready to pour you a cold one.

SHOP A LITTLE, SHOP A LOT.

Retail therapy is an Anaheim speciality, so save some space in your suitcase. Bargain hunters enjoy The Outlets at Orange, home to more than 120 discount stores, as well as cinemas, casual dining and a Vans Skate Park for non-shopaholics. Daytrips to the Citadel Outlets will save shoppers up to 70% on top brand-names, while those after high-end designers enjoy South Coast Plaza. New Gucci handbag here we come. Ask in-store about our other favourite shopping spots.

Disneyland RESORT IN CALIFORNIA. WHERE MAGIC MAKES MEMORIES.

A must for 2019 and the New Year is the newly opened Pixar Pier featuring four Pixar themed neighbourhoods. To help with excitable kids, the Disney FASTPASS Service reduces wait times at major attractions such as Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! This epic ride boasts six different randomised adventures on its ascent and is one of our favourites. Don't miss World of Color, a 25-minute show featuring unforgettable Disney scenes, it's streamed at night across an enormous water screen. You're guaranteed a magical Disney experience.

BIG SMILES FOR SMALL FACES.

If you have children of various ages, a trip to Knott's Berry Farm will suit everyone. With fun rides of different intensities, roller coasters and water rides, it's suitable for toddlers through to teens. Kids also love the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament at Buena Park. Six knights compete in sword fights and jousting, aiming to please both the 1000-strong audience, and the resident King and Queen. There's also a four-course banquet, but be prepared to use your fingers – cutlery isn't permitted when you're dining medieval-style.

AMERICAN SPORTS.

In Anaheim you'll find a passion for both Angels Baseball® and Anaheim Ducks®, the resident ice-hockey team. You cannot beat the excitement of watching either team play, but we always recommend catching a game at the Angel's home ground, the historic Angel Stadium of Anaheim. You can even take a 75-minute tour, for behind-the-scenes insight into this all-American game. Ask your local House of Travel consultant about the best time to travel to catch one of the games.
