Whether you’re taking a "rest day" between Disney adventures or looking to explore the hidden gems of Orange County, Anaheim is packed with adventure. From our front doors at Grand Legacy at the Park, a premier hotel across the street from DisneylandⓇ, you’re perfectly positioned to explore it all.
Here is our local guide to the best things to do in Anaheim during your next family vacation.
1. Dine, Shop, and Play at Downtown Disney® District
You don’t need a park ticket to soak up the Disney atmosphere! Just a short stroll from our lobby, the Downtown Disney DistrictⓇ has undergone an incredible transformation for 2026.
- New Flavors: Check out the vibrant Parkside Market or grab a table at Paseo, the stunning new Mexican concept by Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytán. There is so much to explore!
- Live Vibes: Head to the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage for weekend performances. If you're here in the spring, don't miss the "Disney+ Throwback Dance Party" for some serious nostalgia.
Coming Soon: We are all eagerly awaiting the grand opening of Porto’s Bakery & Café, a Southern California legend.
2. Take in the Views at The FIFTH Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
You don't have to go far for the best view in the city! Located right on top of Grand Legacy at the Park, The FIFTH is Anaheim’s original rooftop restaurant and bar. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with handcrafted cocktails and delicious shareable plates while enjoying a front-row seat to the Disneyland® Resort fireworks. With plenty of space and fire pits, it’s a family-friendly environment that feels like a hidden getaway.
3. Catch a Sports Game
Sports fans, rejoice! We aren't just the home of the "Happiest Place on Earth." We’re also home to world-class professional sports.
- The Big A: Catch a Los Angeles Angels baseball game at Angel Stadium. It’s one of the most family-friendly ballparks in the country.
- The Pond: If you’re visiting during hockey season, head to the Honda Center to cheer on the Anaheim Ducks.
Local Tip: Check the Angels Stadium website for "promotional nights" on the schedule. They often give away great souvenirs like hats or bobbleheads for the kids!
