Anaheim is outside of the ordinary. Here you’ll move beyond the ballroom or the boardroom to curate an alfresco adventure. Anaheim offers an array of unique options for outdoor venues. Anaheim and Orange County are home to 42-miles of coastline, elevated dining and libations, and a mixture of refined offerings and recreation.
