Come by for a free show in the park or show how big a fan you are by reserving a seat in the crowd.

Bring the kids to the Hallmark Headquarters for a magical experience. Located in these headquarters, Kaleidoscope offers children (and adults) the opportunity to unleash their creativity. See your imagination come to life through art at this attraction. Make paintings, collages, puzzles, jewelry and more. Each themed area provides leftover materials from Hallmark’s manufacturing process for your use.

Baker Film Collection complement a year-round display of artifacts, graphics, and commissioned artwork. Visit the heart of historic Garden Grove to catch a show at the Gem Theater.
