Anaheim is the place to visit for a fun, family vacation. Not only is it home to Walt Disney's original incarnation of the "Happiest Place on Earth" as well as newer Disney adventures including Disneyland's California Adventure and a Downtown Disney, but it is also home the Knott's Soak City Water Park and Knott's Berry Farm, which is America's very first theme park (that's right, even before Disney). And all of these family-friendly escapes are set in beautiful Orange County, which offers 42 miles of beaches for those who prefer a natural getaway in a Southern California beach theme. Still, the pull of Disney and Knott's Berry Farm is hard to fight, so here are a few Anaheim adventures you are sure to enjoy.

• Disneyland is filled with attractions for kids of all ages. You can explore eight different Disneyfied lands with rides, shops, parades, fireworks and everything else visitors have come to expect from Disney.
• Knott's Berry Farm is a theme park for teens and thrill seekers that need a little more than a mouse to make them scream. It offers 165 shows, attractions and no-joke, state-of-the-art, scream-inducing roller coasters.
• Disney's California Adventure offers guests the chance to explore Disney's ideals of California in districts representing The Golden State, Pacific Wharf, Hollywood Pictures Backlot and a Bug's Land. No matter where you explore you are sure to be delighted by Disney's array of rides, interactive attractions, shows, food and shopping opportunities.
