A rare opportunity awaits us at the new Christ Cathedral (formerly Crystal Cathedral), the architectural wonder and epicenter of both art, culture and Catholicism in Orange County. A docent-guided tour of the 34-acre campus will showcase the lush gardens, fountains and architecturally magnificent buildings that were renovated after the Catholic Church acquired the property. See the modern Richard Meier-designed Cultural Center, and the historic mid-century modern Arboretum – built in 1962 it served as the original sanctuary for Reverand Robert Schuller’s congregation and was the winner of multiple awards in architectural renovation. Go inside the Tower of Hope, the 13-story tower designed as a symbol of hope and renewal that opened in 1968 as the tallest building in Orange County. Inside, we’ll go up to the 130-seat ecumenical Chapel in the Sky on the top level to admire the panoramic views of Orange County. Tour inside Christ Cathedral, hailed as "the largest glass building in the world" when it was completed in 1981. Made entirely of steel and 10,660 panes of mirrored glass, the cathedral is known worldwide for its inspiring beauty and breathtaking scale. This afternoon, enjoy time at leisure for lunch on your own at the Anaheim Packing District, Orange County’s original food hall. Here you’ll find a diverse culinary collection featuring more than 50 food vendors amongst three historic buildings – a former Sunkist orange processing plant, a marmalade factory and a former Packard dealership. We’ll top off a fun and memorable day with an included ice cream treat.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
