Beautiful shopping area
Mar 2022 • Business
We stopped here kind of randomly on our last day in California. We had a wonderful afternoon shopping and eating. The stores were great (and there was a great variety). We enjoyed the food, and there is good coffee shops. There are also some nice fountains and seating areas. Great place to spend an afternoon!

Great Theater… easy parking.
Dec 2021 • Couples
Excellent place to shop, stroll and eat. Lots of places to eat… we went to the movies at this place and saw West Side Story. Wonderful Theater with great sound. Looks as if during the lock down of Covid they were able to remodel the lobby. Great idea- very sleek and minimalistic. Perfect Addition!!!

Want Covid, come here.
Feb 2021 • Family
When you walk in there is a sign that says be courteous, be safe, stay 6 feet apart and wear a face covering. Well, as Capt Barbossa said, “it’s more like guidelines” adults and teens everywhere not wearing mask and in the play area with the kids. Basically a super spreader paradise. Asked a security guard to enforce the face covering, he said they were not. Grabbed our child and hit the road. Nice place to eat and get some air, but not if that air is potentially loaded with covid 19 smack dab in the height of a pandemic. Won’t be back until the pandemic is over. Go to downtown Disney where they care about your health!

First time visitor
Mar 2020 • Solo
In town for business and staying at nearby DoubleTree. Came here to eat dinner and get a few dress shirts. This is a giant outdoor entertainment complex with shops, restaurants and and movie theater. We have something like this in Florida where I’m from. Definitely worth stopping by to explore.

Fun outdoor mall
Jan 2020 • Solo
Tons of shops and restaurants. Also, there’s a Ferris wheel and other kids activities. Nordstrom is there too. Some of my favorite restaurants there are PF Changs, Yardhouse, Cheesecake Factory. Really fun place to hang out, but I don’t like the parking situation. Can be really hard finding a spot on the weekend.

Amazing Outdoor Shopping Mall
Feb 2020
An adventure of walking outside to over 130 stores. Several locations to eat for all ages and price ranges. Kids can enjoy a huge ferris wheel and merry-go round. A great place to take a date for dinner and a movie. Ample parking surrounds the entire spectrum. Easy access from all directions.

Nice Upscale Mall
Dec 2019
This a very nice upscale mall. It is right off 405. It is a huge open air mall with all kinds of restaurants and shops. Parking was adequate. We also saw Star Wars in the 4D movie theater. Great place to spend half a day.

Make it no smoking!
I love out door malls; great variety! They should put in some more children's shops, like Gymboree. My daughter loves playing in the fountain infront of Target! Too many smokers walking around; ick!
