What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Anaheim GardenWalk is a modern, upscale outdoor mall with a great atmosphere and a good selection of restaurants and entertainment venues like AMC and House of Blues. While many stores are still opening, its proximity to Disneyland and potential for vibrant events make it a promising destination. Some visitors note that stores can close early, especially on Sundays.
"Really nice mall, but many stores are closed or say "comming soon" making it hard to rate. We went on a Thursday at 11am and there was only a few stores open and about 20 people walking around, but maybe it is busier later in the day. There really are no clothing stores, most are restaurants or small food shops. If they open more stores and things to do this mall has a lot of potential. The mall itself is really nice, modern, upscale, and ready to thrive. Having AMC, Fire & Ice, and House of Blues is cool, but it needs more. Parking garage 1st hour is free, then $4 every hour up to $30/day max"

"Very cute little mall that has some unique stores and restaurants!
Came here for bowling but discover this mall has quite nice atmosphere and environment. Easy to walk, beautifully layout and airy.
The only downside is the stores close pretty early, I guess it was Sunday."
