Former Location –

Melodyland was Southern California’s first theater-in-the-round. The location hosted many pop concerts as well as a church-in-the-round.

Located across Harbor Blvd. from Disneyland, the 3,200-seat Melodyland Theater, opened on July 2, 1963. In 1969, Rev. Ralph Wilkerson bought Melodyland for use as a church. The church retained the name as well as the original Melodyland sign.

Melodyland was demolished in 2003. As of July 2022, the property on which Melodyland sat is now part of Anaheim GardenWalk, a lifestyle shopping center. Freedman Way is now called Disney Way.
