Enter a Golden State of Mind
Orange County is also home to Knott’s Berry Farm®, the state’s first theme park, with rides and entertainment at Old West Ghost Town, Camp Snoopy, Fiesta Village, and the Boardwalk. Also, make plans to savor O.C.’s burgeoning food hall scene.
Must-Do: Don a flight suit and take off in a fighter jet, performing aerial maneuvers without ever leaving the Flightdeck Flight Simulation Center. Or experience what it’s like to fly a Boeing 737 as a commercial airline pilot. If you prefer for your high-adrenaline simulations to stay on the land, you can see what it’s like to get behind the wheel of a race car.
Eat: Embark on an epicurean adventure at Anaheim Packing District downtown. The two-story 1919 Mission Revival building previously served as Orange County’s Sunkist® citrus packing house. More than 30 vendors offer varied cuisine, including anti-gravity noodles at 206 BCE, Syrian kabobs at Mangal, vegan comfort food at Healthy Junk at the House, boba tea at Mini Monster Cafe, and Cereal Killer Pie at The Pie Hole. End your day with a visit to The Blind Rabbit speakeasy and gastropub — go in through the sake barrels and out through the bookcase.
Day-Trip: About an hour’s drive southeast is Temecula Valley wine country, boasting more than 40 wineries, most along Rancho California Road. Unwind with a certified sustainable wine at South Coast Winery’s GrapeSeed Spa. Check out California’s only mined wine cave and sip strawberry champagne at Oak Mountain Winery. If you don’t feel like driving, you can travel by horse — or horse-driven carriage — from vineyard to vineyard.
