... Read moreLooking for unique and exciting things to do in Anaheim that don't involve a trip to the theme parks? Anaheim GardenWalk is a fantastic destination packed with entertainment, dining, and activities perfect for families, dates, or a fun outing with friends. I recently spent a day there and uncovered some real gems that offer a completely different kind of fun, proving there's plenty to explore in Anaheim, California, beyond just the usual attractions. First up, if you love a good challenge and the thrill of winning, the Claw Machines at Neo Funs are an absolute blast. It’s not just about the prizes; it’s the excitement of trying to snag that perfect plushie or gadget. It brought out my competitive side! Right next door, don't miss the chance to take some adorable Photo Booth Pics. These are such a fun way to create lasting memories with silly poses and props, perfect for capturing the day. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the Immersive Flight/Racing Simulators at Flight Deck Air Combat are a must-try. Whether you're soaring through the skies or speeding on a race track, the experience is incredibly realistic and exhilarating. It’s definitely one of the top things to do in Anaheim for adults and older kids who love action. If you prefer a more relaxed but equally engaging experience, the Board Game Cafe with Private Tents at Meeples Family is a hidden gem. With a library of over 2,000 games, you could spend hours discovering new favorites or playing classics. The private tents are a brilliant touch for a cozy and focused gaming session. It’s a wonderful activity in Anaheim for families and friends looking for quality time together. Ready for a mental workout? Do An Escape Room at Mission Escape Anaheim. We tackled one of their themed rooms, and the puzzles were clever and truly tested our teamwork. It’s a fantastic way to bond and celebrate a successful escape! Finally, after all that excitement, treat yourself to some delicious Seasonal Pastries at Paris Baguette. Their fresh-baked goods and coffee are the perfect way to refuel and relax, whether you eat outside or inside. Anaheim GardenWalk truly offers a diverse range of activities, making it an ideal spot for anyone looking for fun things to do in Anaheim for adults, with kids, or even for a memorable date. It’s a vibrant hub that makes exploring Anaheim, California, a refreshing experience beyond the well-known tourist attractions.

Have you ever been to Disney California Adventure Park ? This was my first time going and it was SO fun! We did both the parks in one day though which was definitely hard. We got to accomplish almost everything we wanted to do, but if I go back I'd definitely go with more time to explore!

🔆travel ideas🔆
Murrieta, CA: Murrieta is super close to LA so you’d still be able to experience all the LA things yet you’re far enough away to not be all in the madness. The golf courses there are so beautiful and the food options go on and on. Panama City Beach, FL: If you haven’t been, you’re missing out!

One of my happy places is baseball games. Not an Angel’s fan, I will forever be a Dodger fan, but this was a cool experience. This did not compare to the Dodger games, so we left early. What’s your happy place? #thingstodo #fillmycup #Anaheim #Angels #happyplace Angel Stadium
