On the weekend there are simply more people. The first mall in America with a Nordstrom and a Target. One of the first mall with a 20 plex movie theater. Now it is a Regal--no longer an Edward. The changes keeps happening, but it is always filled with shops--no empty, open space. I like to walk my nephew's dogs here. They like it here as well. Everyone is happy. Ray out!

People dance along and kids jumping around, also a great place for pets to walk around too! Lol It's sure a fun place to walk around after a full meal and the variety of choice to choose from fancy sit down restaurants to fast food, quick grab a bite, there's outdoor seatings available every where. Also if you use Capital One credit card, you can grab a coffee for a discount and enjoy the AC indoor. Cool right? The main attraction is the water play area for kids to enjoy during this hot weather. Overall, I love coming here to spend half a day window shopping and pigging out lol ~~ most stores are outdoor and there's plenty of parking spaces around the Mall.

It has a Carrousel on the first floor for kids to ride for a fee. Parking is usually available at different sides of the Mall.

I have never encountered this issue in the past as I have always dressed nicely when visiting this mall and we have always in the past planned visits around getting a meal or buying some things during our mall walking, but this time we didn't want to spend much money and didn't bother to dress up which ostensibly is a huge problem to South Coast Plaza security and seemed to put a target on us. Good forbid two people who don't look rich want to enjoy a beautiful air conditioned mall on a hot day. Let this be a warning to all that you should look rich and/or visibly be actively spending money here if you want to avoid being followed.

Came here before the mall officially opened on a weekday. Got a great parking spot and headed over…read moreto Funparx, the American ninja warrior themed indoor play area.

It's huge and spacious, featuring a great selection of stores and a Round1 for entertainment. The food court is also well-managed with lots of seating available for dining. Overall, it's a great, spacious environment that doesn't feel overwhelming. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Santa Ana! The selection of stores are very mall-typical (Zara, Claire's, etc) but the standout is for sure the Round One! The service there is relatively good, the nicest employee I met worked at the piercing kiosk, she was really sweet. They also have cute displays for photo shoots and tons of photo ops if you're visiting.

Whether you're craving poke, burger, or a smoothie, this plaza has it. + HUGE parking lot. + Numerous entrances/exits. Makes for smooth traffic flow. + Never too crowded. + Located just down the street from Veterans Sports Park. Very convenient for me in between my athletic sessions. + I have also picked up fruit from the Stater Bros here to share with my pickleball friends at Vets. Non-likes: - The road geography around here is a lil weird. If you're at the Valencia Ave & Tustin Ranch Rd intersection, and you somehow accidentally go north on Tustin Ranch Rd, too bad. There won't be a left turn or U-turn at Edinger Ave, because these two streets don't meet. You have to continue until you reach Walnut Ave to find a detour back. A lil inconvenient.

Because it's a small center, parking can sometimes be a challenge; I think this place was built before large SUV's became the norm. Go slow at the turns, there's barely room to pass another vehicle!

The mall does tend towards high end stores with a small smattering of standard stores but in general, there are a wide variety of stores. Plenty of dining options from high end or quick casual. You can even do your grocery shopping here as there is a Whole Foods market. They occasionally have special events. I happened to be here during the Lunar New Year event so one of the areas was decked out with Year of the Horse decorations. I also always walk by the Koi pond to see how the fishes are doing.

The Shopping & Entertainment: The Stores: Most of the shops just aren't stores that everyday consumers actually want. It's mostly filled with weird, random boutique stores that no one has ever heard of, charging ridiculous prices like $300 for a single t-shirt. No Movie Theater: For a mall of this size, it's pretty disappointing that they don't even have a movie theater to catch a film. The Silver Lining: Parking: The only consistently good thing about this mall is the parking situation. No matter when you visit, there always seems to be plenty of parking available. Final Verdict: It's a beautiful outdoor space to stroll through, but as a practical place to shop or find entertainment, it's just not the best.

Whoa! It's been 9 years since my last review; time for an update!…read more This is one of the few malls that's still thriving. After Sears closed, they tore it down and are now building a nice outdoor retail/dining area with some decent restaurants. I'm not sure why apartments taking over a mall parking lot are such a big deal, and not sure I would want to live that close to a major mall, but I assume they make money. The one they do is take up parking. Which is my only complaint. Parking here can be a pain. Whatever you do, never park in the parking garage next to Nordstrom's when it's busy. The cars backed up on the street can be insane, and the guys with the flags to control traffic seem to be there only to help pedestrians cross the road. The last time I tried to park there, we ended up on the very top, which was also full, and only got a spot because someone left. Parking behind the men's/houseware Macy's store used to be great, but then they locked those doors. During the holiday, parking is already bad enough, but with this expanded area, it's only going to get worse. Inside the mall, I do love the mix of stores. The food court has just enough variety to make most people happy. It's also a great mall for walking, especially if you end up parking far enough away from an entrance to earn some extra steps.

The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because of an unfortunate experience at the Starbucks inside the mall. One of the employees was rude and dismissive toward someone using a wheelchair, which was disappointing to witness. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and I hope management addresses the importance of providing courteous and inclusive customer service. Aside from that experience, the rest of the mall was enjoyable, and the other employees I encountered were friendly. I'd still return to shop, but I hope the customer service at Starbucks improves.
