What the Anaheim Packing District includes
The Anaheim Packing District brings together four historic landmarks, with food and public space spread across the district.
The Anaheim Packing House is the best-known anchor: a two-story food hall inside a former orange-packing facility. The district also includes the MAKE Building and Packard Building, plus Farmers Park, a 2-acre park.
The site’s history is tied to the region’s citrus industry. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Association opened its packing house in 1919; the facility closed in 1955 as urban sprawl replaced orange groves. The building now used by the food hall dates to 1919.
Food and market-style stops
The Packing House is the district’s main food-hall destination, with dining and drink businesses inside a historic building.
Plan to choose a place to eat after you arrive, since individual businesses set their own hours. Outside food and drinks are not permitted inside the Packing House, Umami Burger or Pali Wine Co.; Packing House food may be enjoyed at Unsung Brewing Company.
If you’re arranging a large group or private party, common areas are not available for reservations. Contact individual merchants to ask about their arrangements.
