Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Spanning 5.5 million square feet, this outdoor shopping center draws over 11 million visitors annually. A 108-foot tall Ferris wheel anchors the center, lighting up with 26,000 LED bulbs that shift through 16 million color combinations at night.
Kohokohdat: The 1960s-era hangar building at the north end once housed Marine helicopter squadrons before being reimagined into a food hall with 19 different vendors. At sunset, the Ferris wheel choreographs a 5-minute light show set to music, visible from the 405 freeway as you approach.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Skip the mall crowds on weekends by coming before 11 a.m. when the stores open and parking is easiest.
- The fourth floor of the parking structure on the northwest side offers a clear, elevated photo of the entire Ferris wheel without people in the frame.
- Bring a jacket even in summer, the ocean breeze funnels through the open-air walkways after sunset.
- The food hall gets packed between 6-8 p.m., so grab a seat first before ordering from the vendor counters.
