This enormous outdoor mall in Irvine is well-known for its impressive exterior architecture which was inspired by the Alhambra in Granada, Spain — as well as its seemingly endless opportunities to shop and dine.

Here, guests will find an assortment of trendy cafés and restaurants, a collection of live entertainment and events including The Improv Comedy Club, and an enormous movie theatre complex. The antique-themed Carousel and 108-foot Giant Wheel are two other attractions on-site not to be missed.

The Irvine Spectrum is a enjoyable destination for families and friends to spend a day in an open and welcoming atmosphere exploring the mall’s large waterfalls, lush landscaping, and diverse selection of shops.
