![]() ![]() This magical land of make-believe has been wowing kids and grown-ups alike since 1955. If you’re travelling as a family then you have to head straight for Anaheim and the world-famous Disneyland® Resort, the granddaddy of all theme parks. John Wayne Airport is perfectly positioned for visiting the many and varied sights of Orange County, with the Pacific coast on one side and the attractions of cities such as Anaheim and Orange on the other. Always check the speed limit of the road you’re travelling on to avoid a possible speeding ticket. Interstate routes have a speed limit of 75mph (120km/h) while in built-up areas this can drop to around 20mph (32km/h). If you’re heading to LA during rush hour, though, you’re probably better taking the I-405 and 605 to avoid the usual heavy traffic. The ubiquitous I-5 runs through the middle of Orange County, taking you to Los Angeles in under two hours and south to San Diego in about the same time. Only half a mile from there is the Honda Center, where Anaheim’s beloved Ducks ice hockey team play. The Angel Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Angels baseball team, is by the Santa Ana River in the south of Anaheim and reached via State Route 55 and the Interstate 5. Orange County’s other great theme park, Knott’s Berry Farm, is about 5 miles farther north, just off Interstate 5. The amazing Disneyland Resort is in the city of Anaheim, 13 miles north of John Wayne Airport. The farthest away, San Clemente, is a short 30-minute drive south on Interstate 5 and 405. The nearest of Orange County’s long list of beach resorts is Newport Beach, a 15-minute drive away on State Route 55 – but the other beaches on offer are all within easy driving distance. John Wayne Airport is accessed by the San Diego (I-405) Freeway, the Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeway, and the Corona Del Mar Freeway/San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Toll Road (SR-73). ![]()
