You had me at Pistachio popGelato!!! Yum! Anaheim looks like a fantastic family travel destination. I love Southern California but haven’t been in years, you’ve given me reason to put Anaheim on my travel bucket list!
I hope you get the chance to visit Melita. We have been having so much fun in Anaheim- I know you would LOVE it!!
Next time I head out to Californian we will have to plan a trip to Anaheim and not just Disney. That food is over the top delicious looking.
I think it is definitely worth booking an extra night or two to explore Anaheim after you are finished at the parks. They food scene is incredible + there are some other really awesome activities that families will love!!
Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my computer! Those pancakes? and popsicles look amazing, but then I saw all the awesome things to explore in Anaheim. Makes me wish I still lived in Southern California!
Right??? I was the one that ate it all and photographed it and I’m still drooling just looking back at these Kirsten!!
Anahiem is def a foodie paradise, I was there again in July..and discovered some awesome new places to eat! I love your round up and the pics!
Sharing on twitter!

Yay!! So glad you agree Valerie. Sounds like we need to swap notes 😉
Omg learning trapeze sounds so fun!!! And that gelato on a stick sounds delicious :). Great post! Totally makes me want to go to Anaheim asap!
I hope you get the chance- such a fun city to visit!! And, SO much to do between Disneyland, Knott’s, Discovery Cube, Great Wolf Lodge + all these unique experiences too!
There’s definitely no shortage of stuff to keep my family busy in Anaheim. We’ve never been there, so this would be a great getaway for us!
You definitely should make the trip sometime. One of my favorite SoCal cities… plus Disneyland is there so you really can’t go wrong!
That sounds like the best place for a weekend getaway.
Yes!!! Exactly Jessica perfect weekend getaway… I think 2 days for Disney plus an extra day or two to explore the rest of what Anaheim has to offer is perfect!!
Wow, what is that doughnut cake creation at the top?! It looks amazing! I confess that I had no idea that Anaheim had so much to offer until I read this post. What a fun, fun place to spend time with the kids!
So, glad I was able to show you some of the hidden gems people often miss when they visit Anaheim 😉 Maybe you will have the chance to explore soon!!
What a lot of fun things to do! Southern California is such a great place to visit.
It truly is… very diverse between LA, San Diego and Orange County… plus you could always head to Palm Springs. Another fun spot with kids!!
It’s been too long since we’ve visited Anaheim – ten years at least! You’ve shown me an entirely new side to this city in the OC. Great post!
Thank you Claudia… glad you enjoyed it!!
I love Anaheim! Your post reminds me it’s been way too long since I’ve visited!
Ha!! Looks like it’s time to book a trip back Terumi. We had the BEST time!!
I hope you get to make it out here to experience it for yourself Victoria 🙂
I LOVED everything! Can’t wait to come back to this list when we are visiting Anaheim ! It looks and sounds amazing!
This looks like a wonderful place to explore!
It really was a fantastic time!! I hope you get the chance to visit Anaheim for yourself one day!
Oh God. Why did I read your post when my stomach was raising its voice. It looks like a food paradise, of course. I’ll put Anaheim into my checklist immediately. Thanks for the great suggestion.
