I can;t really knock this place, excellent range of shops, BUT, EXPENSIVE. It really specialises in full price designer gear which is out of our price range. There were lots of goods being carried around though. If exclusive labels are your bag you will love this place, we had no vehicle during our trip to San Diego and the fashion... More

This is one stellar shopping mall. I can absolutely count on finding what ever I am looking for here. Plenty of seating for the non-shoppers to hang out in and watch the world go bye while the shoppers in the family enjoy themselves.

We never got into the mall as we could not get a parking place. It was definitely not worth driving around endlessly looking for a parking spot.

This mall is a premier shopping experience. Five anchor stores: Bloomie's, Nordie's, Macy's and JC Penney's, and Neiman Marcus and then all the upscale / designer and desired chain stores throughout including the Apple Store and a Microsoft Store. Always a line at Starbucks in the extensive food court. There is also an AMC theater. Valet parking is available near... More

If you're looking at a casual shopping trip, I think Fashion Valley is the place to be. There were all the stores we liked, department stores, with cosy corners and space to rest throughout. True you won't get outlet prices, but definitely nice to stroll and window shop! :)

Open air, palm tree-lined walk ways definitely make you feel like you're in the heart of southern California. A good mix of department stores and high-end retailers and funky, eclectic inexpensive shops, restaurants, food court, and a movie theater. Plenty of parking, and easily accessible by public transportation.

This mall is huge. There is everything here. We visited the food court several times during our stay. Lots of outdoor seating near the food court and also near the stores for folks to sit down and rest.
