I loved Santa Monica, and especially loved the shopping district - the closed off Third Avenue with all kinds of activity swirling around you. Eclectic group of shopping - clothing, shoes, name brands and specialty boutiques. You can also hop aboard any of 7-8 "Big Blue Bus" public bus to take you around the area for a practically free tour... More

Fresh after a major refurbishment this is now a high end shopping centre complete with valet parking. It's full of high end stores with a good mix of smaller quirky stores. There is an excellent range of food options up on the top level. More

I had been to the old mall several years ago and the new version is much better. The shops used to be a little downmarket and this is now definitely not the case. There is a great childrens play area on the top level (which is free) in the foodcourt. Our kids (age 11 months and 2 year old) loved... More

Stopped by because the parking garage was convenient to Third Street Promenade. This mall is really cool looking because you are really outdoors while in the mall. The centre is all open. Stores are typical higher end stores, but some great restaurants on upper level. More

We were pleasantly surprised! Bloomies was an amazing store and Nordstrom was decent. They had a great variety of shops and the outdoor shaded mall setting was quite unique.

The Concierge Supervisor Jake Dermirchyan reached out via email and kept me posted of the Christmas events, and it became a place... More

Shopped on Third Street Promenade, ate ceviche & chips at Mariasole on the Pier, rode the carousel, ordered lemonade from the original Hot Dog on a Stick shack, and ended the evening at the Sonoma Wine Garden on top of Santa Monica Place! Santa Monica is a wonderful place to spend the day. The new Sonoma Wine Garden, atop Santa... More

This was a really welcome place to go following the Pier and beach~nice contrast. The mall is open-air so it's enclosed around the sides but not the top so you don't feel like you're going into an indoor environment. Bloomingdales and Nordstroms are at opposite ends of this small sized mall, with all kinds of stores in between, many upscale.... More
