1. Seasonal Brews
Anaheim has a ton of craft breweries and Fall is one of the best times of the year for seasonal and limited edition drinks.
Our favorite breweries in Anaheim include All American Brew Works, Brewery X, and Villains Brewing Company.
2. Seasonal Food Offerings At Anaheim Packing District
Staying with the theme of seasonal and limited edition items that are only available in the Fall, the Anaheim Packing District is a great place to try it all!
It’s a food hall made up of every type of food, including desserts, so it’s a great place to just go for an afternoon and try all the new things.
3. Oak Canyon Nature Center Night Hikes
Oak Canyon Nature Center is one of the most popular day hiking spots in all of Orange County.
On the 3rd Saturday of the month, you can experience the park at night on a guided hike.

Oogie Boogie Bash is a yearly event at Disneyland that always sells out early.
If you can’t get tickets for the event, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the Fall season at Disneyland.
Haunted Mansion gets it’s yearly overlay to The Nightmare Before Christmas.
California Adventure’s Pixar Pier transforms into Plaza de la Familia to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos.
Plus there are plenty of seasonal food and drink options in both parks.
5. Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit At Downtown Disney
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is a yearly activity that takes place throughout Downtown Disney.
It runs from August 30th all the way through November 1st.
The way it works is that you get a map and stickers for $9.99 and then go on a self-paced scavenger hunt throughout Downtown Disney.
Once you’re finished, take your map to the redemption center and get your prize!
6. Catch A Baseball Game At Angel Stadium
The Angels are still playing a handful of home games through the end of September, so there’s still plenty of opportunities to get in a baseball game.

Pre-season for the Anaheim Ducks is underway with games on September 26th and 30th at home.

There are currently 5 shows scheduled, all in the 2nd half of September.
I think the Cold Case Live show on Wednesday, September 25th would be cool to see.
