Attractions
While you’re in town, there’s so much to do and see! Orange County’s legacy to the world is the invention of the theme park. The Knott family chicken restaurant business evolved into Knott’s Berry Farm, the first theme park. A few years later, and a few miles down the road, Walt Disney created the “Happiest Place on Earth,” the original Disneyland Park. For many, the name “Anaheim” is synonymous with imaginative entertainment. Today, within 90 miles of Anaheim there are 8 WORLD RENOWN Major Theme Parks and Attractions including Universal Studios-Hollywood, LEGOLAND, SeaWorld and the World Famous San Diego Zoo.
Shopping
Orange County’s freeways lead you to over 4 million square feet of retail excitement in more than 15 indoor and outdoor shopping malls. Located within minutes of the Hilton Anaheim are The Block at Orange and the Anaheim Plaza. The Block features a variety of specialty stores and restaurants plus a multi-plex AMC movie theater. The Anaheim Plaza features large stores such as WalMart, Gigante and several smaller outlet type stores.
Just 30 minutes from Anaheim, on the bluffs of Newport Beach, is Fashion Island, home to 200 prestigious department stores, specialty stores, boutiques and museums.
Beaches
When you think of Southern California, the main images that come to mind are usually its beaches: the sun, palm trees, warm sand, tanned life guards, California girls and, of course, the crashing blue Pacific Ocean.
Like a
string of shimmering pearls, Orange County’s beach towns stretch 42 miles
along California’s golden coastline waiting to be discovered. The towns,
though close in proximity, are sometimes worlds apart in their character.
From the quaint town of Seal Beach in the north to the red-tiled Spanish
architecture of San Clemente in the south, you’ll find each offering
different adventures and environments. Three of the best known beach towns
in Orange County are the “Surf Capital,” Huntington Beach; Newport Beach,
known as the posh coastal community with dazzling yacht harbors; and Laguna
Beach, the picturesque artist colony.
Golf
Orange County boasts nearly 40 of the finest and most pleasurable courses in the world. Choose from a variety of serene ocean challenges or PGA-style 18-hole championship courses designed to put you to the test.
