This place has a cinema, ferris wheel, carousel, shops, restaurants & free parking. What more can we say? Just get off the I-5 & it's there. Btw, Irvine has many great destination complexes like The Irvine Spectrum, The District, Tustin Marketplace, South Coast Plaza & Fashion Island all within around a 20 mile radius & they're all busy amazingly!

We go there to eat and go to the movies. There are lots of kids there just socializing. But the restaurants are great and there is alot of variety. We are lucky to live within 20 minutes.

The center is equipped with a variety of stores, eateries and movie theater including an IMAX theater. You can sit outside and enjoy So-Cal life-style...it's especially appreciated by a younger or young minded crowd.

I hate this "mall" and always get lost when I go. I know it's targeted for a younger crowd and has some great shops that aren't found anywhere else but give me Fashion Island any day!

There is nothing like a Southern California mall and this one is paradigmatic - great theaters, restaurants, stores (including Apple), fountains and strolling space. It' a phenom.

My first time to Irvine Spectrum Center, nice stores, lots of restaurants, tons of stuff for the kids to enjoy, something for everyone for sure. Nice place to shop and catch a movie or go out to dinner.
