For families with little ones, you’ll want to target attractions with no height requirements. Many of the rides have a minimum height requirement for safety reasons. But even if you have little tykes in your group, there are plenty of things to see and do in the happiest place on earth.

Angel Stadium events to attend before baseball season begins

Before the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim begin their 2015 season, there are several events taking place at the stadium you won’t want to miss. Upcoming Angel Stadium events include the super charged Monster Jam and Supercross competitions.

AMA Supercross

AMA Supercross is all about motorcycles. Each year, the season kicks off in Anaheim with three events in January at the Angels Stadium. This year’s events will be held Jan. 3, 17 and 31.

The term Supercross combines the concepts of the Superbowl and Motocross and draws elite riders from around the world. The AMA Supercross racing series takes place on a man-made course constructed in stadiums across North America, however the racing events were inspired by events held for years in the rural countryside.
