Om
Snabba fakta: Med en yta på 5,5 miljoner kvadratfot lockar detta utomhus shoppingcenter över 11 miljoner besökare årligen. Ett 33 meter högt pariserhjul förankrar centret och lyser upp med 26 000 LED-lampor som skiftar genom 16 miljoner färgkombinationer på natten.
Höjdpunkter: Hangarbyggnaden från 1960-talet i norra änden inhyste en gång marina helikopterskvadroner innan den omvandlades till en mathall med 19 olika leverantörer. Vid solnedgången koreograferar pariserhjulet en 5-minuters ljusshow till musik, synlig från motorvägen 405 när man närmar sig.
Insidertips
- 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.
