Step and pirouette your way into the magical display of dance, color, costumes and drama by adding to your personal repertoire of art experience with the Anaheim Ballet whose mission it is to enlighten and entertain audiences with classically-rooted programming and contemporary presentation for both balletomanes as well as novice ballet-goers.  Anaheim Ballet also offers classes for students ages 3 to adults who are interested in pursuing a career in ballet and stages an annual Spring Concert and the timeless Nutcracker Ballet for Holiday-enriching memories and cultural delights. Attend an Anaheim Ballet performance and see first-hand how ballet is "dance executed by the human soul."  

  Set your sights on the great outdoors and make your way to Featherly Regional Park in Santa Ana Canyon, a practical and completely natural riparian wilderness area including wetlands adjacent to rivers and streams, making it perfect for a day trip or an overnight venture. Although public access is restricted, viewing opportunities are best from the Santa Ana Bikeway.  The developed portion of the park is Canyon RV Park, a privately-operated facility which offers sites with full hook-ups, small cabins, youth group camping and areas for group events. The entrance to this family-friendly section of the Park is located at Gypsum Canyon Road and reservations are a must. Orange County provides an app to navigate through all the local parks.  

Bar down and sign up for another barnburner to take your seats and watch the Anaheim Ducks, the local professional ice hockey team and members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Since their famous and cinematic inception, the Ducks have played all their home games at the Honda Center near Angel Stadium. Long time fans and Disney aficionados will certainly remember that this team was originally named the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim based on the 1992 film, The Mighty Ducks, starring a young Emilio Estevez. The Ducks have made the playoffs 14 times, won six Pacific Division titles and one Stanley Cup. Grab your bucket, fishbowl and lumber and light the lamp with the Ducks!
