Disney knows how to run a park. We had a great morning here and then went to Disneyland. We wish we had more time. For some advice, read my review of Disneyland. Enjoy!!!

Asian Garden Mall is a cultural spot, and you will find Vietnamese food, clothing (traditonal to modern), home decor (also traditional and modern) and jewelry, lots of jewelry (jade, gold, silver, stones, pearls, etc.) And a place to pray!
Bakeries, Pho, and great variety of Vietnamese and French flavors.
Live a little and try a foot massage. There are many of these shops. Want fresh fish (still swimming in a tank?) go to one of the bigger markets. Find produce you won't see in Vons, that's for sure.

The park is well kept and has many amenities. You can see walkers, cyclists at any time of a day on the trails. You can enjoy the nature in the interior of the park or choose play a round of golf, a match of tennis. The park is truly a gem in the heart of crowded Little Saigon.

Expectations were high for the entire family and Disneyland did not disappoint.
We’d been to Disneyworld in FL but never Disneyland. We really liked the smaller size of Disneyland. The weather was perfect during the day but got chilly at night. Not sure what we were thinking but we didn’t bring enough layers so most of us were pretty cold by the end of the day.

The statues, of an American soldier and a South Vietnamese soldier, were completed in 2000 to memorialize the fall of Saigon 25 years previous, on April 30, 1975. It's a site of quiet remembrance, with flags of the US and of South Vietnam flying high. Located next to Westminster City Hall and the Police Station.

We come here to bird and photograph, as do many. Wonderful wide, well maintained trails and bridges. Much to see and signage is pretty good, too. A great birding spot, check e-bird for most recent signings. The area is somewhat multi-use so there are some runners and walkers out, too. Plenty of room for all. It is a very exposed and open walk. Bring water, sun protection, etc. The parking area is small and accessible only from the south.

It’s amazing how they’ve brought the world of Cars to life and make you feel as it you’re really in a southwestern landscape complete with ancient car fin-shaped flatirons! (But if you look really closely, you can see that a group of pigeons like to hang out on one of those formations. LOL.) This was easily our group’s favorite ride of the California Adventure park, and even my 75+ mother was up for going twice! It’s kind of like a cross between one of the storybook rides of Disneyland, and the Indiana Jones Adventure, although this doesn’t jerk you around as much as that ride does. You start off with a slow ride through some scenes from the movie, but you ride in a large stylized and independent vehicle (not like a regular roller coaster car) which holds up to six people, and you end with a race through that Cars scenery. It’s fun and is over way too quick. When we got to this ride, there was a 90-minute wait in the regular line, but the attendant said if our group of three used the single riders line and rode separately to help fill in the car capacity, we could get on much quicker. We did that and were through the line and riding within 15 minutes. We did the same thing later when there was a two-hour wait in the regular line and were riding within 30 minutes.

This is such a cute place. Adorable play sets and environment. Terrific green grass with plenty of trees surrounding everything. Great parking and totally enclosed. I have been coming here for almost 20 years. Always loved this place.

You must go there to enjoy the ambiance of the Little Saigon. Practically, you'll find everything in this mall: authentic Vietnamese foods, jewelry stores, music stores, clothing, etc. Most of all, you will expose to the Vietnamese culture...

This parade is so good, fun, and upbeat. Thankfully a cast member told us to get a seat a couple hours early so my friend and I took turns saving a spot and it was definitely worth it. The music is great, Owl City, and the characters were all so fun!
I saw this parade in July of 2015, the review is coming a little late....but for when the parade comes back, be sure to check it out. It is really well done already and they will be adding some new things to it.
