This is a must see for the aviation or automotive or WWII enthusiast. It may be small but the collection is amazing and contains some rare items. What impressed me most is that the airplanes are in working order with most still flying!

Sightseeing
Great place to learn about the Kellogg family and see how people lived a 100 years ago here in Orange County. Docents are awesome! Take kids or not, hands-on for them, which makes it fun, meaningful, and interesting.

Shopping
Main Place Mall
2800 N Main StTucked away in the heart of Orange County, Little Saigon covers three square miles of an area split between Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and Fountain Valley. Boasting 4,000 Vietnamese-American businesses, including hundreds of shops and restaurants, Little Saigon is quite possibly the closest you can come to Vietnam without a passport. Located just a few miles southwest of the Disneyland® Resort, Little Saigon is a fantastic cultural detour to any vacation. We suggest beginning your adventure by "cruising" Bolsa Avenue — the center of Little Saigon.
