Old Town Orange

Old Town Orange is essentially the beginning of Orange County, and it's heart. Most of the buildings were built between 1888 and 1940, making it one of the older cities in California. For this reason movies such as Fallen Angel, Gumball Rally, Gentleman's Club, Big Mama's House, That Thing You Do, Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, The Last Dance, and more have all had scenes in or around the Orange Circle in Old Town Orange.

When in the area, Old Town Orange is a great place to visit, it has some great food including Felix's Cafe (Cuban food) and Watson's Drug & Soda (good for a sandwich at lunch).  Old Town Orange is also known for its shopping, mainly Antique shops, if that's what you're in to.  By night the area changes over and becomes an active bar zone, with bars such as District Lounge, Pauls, and O'haras.

"No matter how you define fun, you'll find it at Dave & Buster's. Whether it's the action of interactive games, enjoying great food, fun bars or playing classic favorites like world class pocket billiards— they've created a unique experience that has something for everyone. - Irvine Spectrum

Pirates Dinner Adventure, Buena Park

Members of the audience brought on to be part of the show

In Buena Park, next to Knott's Berry Farm and Medieval Times, there is a dinner theater called Pirates Dinner Adventure. This is basically the same concept as Medieval Times with a different theme. It's a dinner show, featuring pirates, acrobatics, and mediocre food.  It is fun though to go with a group of friends, especially if you load up on booze beforehand.  Also suits families with kids.

"Thrills, excitement and laughter abound at this swashbuckling Buena Park Dinner Show, Pirate's Dinner Adventure!
This Broadway-quality show is presented on an authentically replicated 18th century Spanish galleon anchored in a 250,000 gallon indoor lagoon, setting the stage for an astonishing display of special effects, wizardry, aerial artistry, swashbuckling swordplay, dynamic duels and a hearty feast. The elaborate dinner theater set provides the backdrop for action, acrobatics, romance, comedy and a hearty feast!" - from the website
