Irvine
Spectrum shopping center is one of the largest shopping
malls in Southern California. If you are planning a trip
here put on your walking shoes. The first thing you notice
when approaching the mall is the large ferris wheel in the
center.
The 108-foot giant wheel gives riders a birds eye view of
the shopping center and the mountains beyond. The center
was one of the first in the country to be anchored by restaurants
and entertainment venues when it was built in 1995. Today
the mall also has 164 stores including upscale retailer
Nordstrom. Millions of people visit Irvine Spectrum each
year for shopping and entertainment.
At one time parking was a real problem at the Spectrum but
with the addition of two multi level parking structures
parking have got a lot easier. Through out the mall you
will find many fountains including a pop jet fountain for
kids. There is also a Carousel with 32 animals and horses.
One of the original structures and still the most popular
is Edwards Irvine Spectrum 21 which has the only IMAX theater
in the area. Some of Irvine Spectrum Center’s most
popular restaurants are The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang’s
China Bistro,California Pizza Kitchen and Javier’s
Cantina & Grill.
