I hate this "mall" and always get lost when I go. I know it's targeted for a younger crowd and has some great shops that aren't found anywhere else but give me Fashion Island any day!

There is nothing like a Southern California mall and this one is paradigmatic - great theaters, restaurants, stores (including Apple), fountains and strolling space. It' a phenom.

I always love visiting the Spectrum Center when in the Irvine area. Good shops, great restaurants, theatre, comedy club, and people watching!

My first time to Irvine Spectrum Center, nice stores, lots of restaurants, tons of stuff for the kids to enjoy, something for everyone for sure. Nice place to shop and catch a movie or go out to dinner.

this place has everything for a fun night out. Great restaurants, shopping and even the Improv is here. The only thing that I don't like is fighting for parking...but I guess that was expected for such a popular place

Thought there would be more substance. Unfortunately just a big shopping center with insufficient parking

A place like the Irvine Spectrum that offers, shopping, food and libations, and a huge movie theater, is the kind of place where a person can spent at least half a day, with family or friends, of just a couple or single, and have a very nice time. Yes, there are plenty of places to spent money in, a lot... More

My wife only wished they had a Victoria's Secret. The Valet was very nice and accommodating. A lot of good restaurants to choose from.

Beautiful, Copy from Arabic design buildings such as in Moroco, but this one comes from Andalusia (Spain now). the Irvine Weel is taken you to the sky with different view, I like it, also I recommend you to visit.
