 Located across from Disneyland Park, Disney's California
Adventure celebrates the fun and adventures of California. The
entrance to this new park is easy to find with California spelled out in 11½
foot-tall letters and the Golden Gate Bridge overhead as you head into
Sunshine Plaza.
The Golden State in Disney’s California Adventure Park
brings to life the diversity of the land, the people and the history of the
great state of California. From the gold rush of the mid 1800s to today’s
technological gold rush of the Silicon Valley, California is the state of
opportunity. Is it the climate, the scenic wonders, the bountiful land or
the free-spirited attitude that draws people from all over the world? In
fact, it’s all of these things and more, all celebrated in grand style in
the Golden State.
It’s an endless summer all year ‘round at the land known
as Paradise Pier. Reminiscent of “thrills and chills” seaside recreation
parks of years gone by, Paradise Pier incorporates nostalgia with
state-of-the-art technology in an atmosphere that invigorates the senses
with sights, sounds and high energy excitement at every turn. In a colorful
atmosphere set around a lush oceanfront lagoon, Paradise Pier offers guests
the ultimate sun ‘n fun California experience with rides, midway games,
boardwalk entertainment, and beach-themed food emporiums for snacks or
sit-down dining. It’s an all-encompassing, all exciting and all California
experience.
The heyday of Hollywood comes alive at Disney’s California
Adventure Park. Enter the glamorous Hollywood Pictures Backlot through a
massive gate inspired by the movie spectacles of Hollywood’s golden age.
Walk along an idealized Hollywood Boulevard set designed in classic forties
art deco style. See celebrity look-alikes along the thoroughfare while
limousines park curbside waiting to whisk the latest Hollywood star off to
the set. Amid soundstages and klieg lights, it's all glitter and glitz in
this district that takes a tongue-in-cheek view of the motion picture
industry in California’s most well known city, Hollywood.
Take a tour with our quick guide to the newest Disney them
park, Disney's California Adventure.
