What is Orange County?

Anaheim/Orange County has been called "Southern California's playground" and for a good reason. Where else but Disneyland can you take a futuristic flight on a star speeder, fly with Peter Pan, float down the river on a steam paddleboat and see all your favorite storybook scenes and characters come to life.

Imagine only 10 minutes from this Magic Kingdom you can experience the days of the Old West at Knott's Berry Farm. A slice of Americana is what they serve at Knott's Berry Farm-meander through a realistic ghost town filled with authentic buildings or ride on a steam train built in 1881 and the real Overland Trails stagecoach. But Knott's can also catapult you into the future on their state-of-the-art attractions, rides and unlimited entertainment.

Your imagination will again be challenged as you attend an 11th century banquet in the company of kings, queens and chivalrous knights. The pageantry and colorful enthusiasm of a night at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament will long be remembered.

Movie stars are one of Southern California's hallmarks, and your favorite movie actor or actress can be seen at Movieland Wax Museum. Stars such as Leslie Nielsen of "Naked Gun" fame and immortal favorites such as Brando, Gable, Bogart and Hepburn are among their prestigious residents.

The thrilling adventures of the Old West are staged every evening at Wild Bill's Wild West Dinner Extravaganza ... spectacular drama and great western music!

Also not to be missed are Raging Waters and Wild Rivers two exciting water parks. Universal Studios Hollywood brings movie magic to life as you experience tricks of the trade and thrilling live-action shows.

Relive romantic cowboy folklore at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage. Also, less than 90 minutes away are the San Diego Zoo, Sea World and Wild Animal Park.

The average temperature in Anaheim/Orange County is 70 degrees Fahrenheit which brings with it a year-round outdoor lifestyle. Orange County's 42-mile coastline has been called the American Riviera. Beach communities such as posh Newport Beach feature multi-million dollar homes and the largest leisure craft harbor in the world. Laguna Beach is known as the artist colony of Southern California.

Huntington Beach is the site of annual international surfing championships. Orange County also has a vast array of shopping possibilities, everything from 300-store mega shopping centers to quaint boutiques. There is so much to experience here-the fantasy, the movie magic, the Old West and glistening beaches-the best of Southern California, Anaheim/Orange County!
