    Inside (many vendor booths)
    Diane L.

    Today 4/11 from 10 AM to 2 PM CHOC is having their 2nd Annual Wellness Fair. Vendor booths are located both inside and outside Main Place. There are spin to win prizes, free giveaways and raffles.

    Why Valley lounge on the first floor?

    Today was my first visit to Main Place mall in Santa Ana. It is a bit out of my way, so I only went there because it was closer for my friend and her mom who were coming from Irvine. We planned to meet at 12:30, after church, at the Panini kebab Grill. Because I arrived early, I parked by JCPenney, where there are a covered parking spaces. JCPenney was having a massive sale post Christmas, so it was worth having a look around. As I walked all the way through the length of the mall to my lunch day, I noticed lots of fun areas for family or friends who are less into shopping, but want to accompany the more avid shoppers in their group to the mall: play areas, lots of comfy, looking seating, several Wi-Fi lounges. There's also a huge arcade/pool table/bowling space at the opposite end of JCP. Lots of helpful signage, though the difference between patio dining, dining restaurants,, and courtyard restaurants is rather confusing if you've never been here before. The whole mall had a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, and it didn't bother me too much that several escalators were out of order; that just makes them stairs, right?

    Every store I went into had great customer service. I came so I could purchase cosmetics from the MAC store. That was a treat. Like always! I got 20% off my purchase and three free gifts. The Easter bunny is there and photo ready. I went to the Shoe Palace as well. I didn't purchase anything but they have nice selection of sneakers.

    This mall has had many changes - some good and some not so good. Some great features are a large JC Penney store, a foreign exchange store, large elevator to accommodate ADA customers, and some classic spits like Vans and Boudin. The sad part is many store sections are closed and there are a lot of gaming (virtual) stores and cheaply built trinkets and toys. The worst is the construction out front that took down a 2 level parking structure to put in residential housing.

    Clean, bright, inviting!

    It's probably been about a decade since I've visited MainPlace Mall and I was so pleasantly surprised!! They're currently undergoing renovations which just goes to show that they're going to get even better! Upon walking in, I noted how clean the mall was, bright, lively! The food court was full of people and the stores were all open and operating! If you haven't been to here in a while, definitely give it a revisit!

    This mall is a decent size with a nice selection of stores. Service in the stores I went inside was good. They had great bargains and a nice selection of items to choose from.

    Oh my gosh, this place seems to be doing decently! Lots of shops, a food court with actual food, and lines, with real people waiting for things??!? I stopped in as there's a place called The District (I forgot to check in) where I pick up my suits - If you're in need go see Wais and he'll take care of you, excellent quality at a great price! My need aside, the place has probably near 100 different shops open and ready to serve you! Go show your kids what a mall experience is like and take a look for yourself! :)

    This was the place to go back in the days for shopping, foods, games, and movies since it location is right near everything, museum, discover cubes, restaurants, shops, hospitals, freeways. Inside it's big bad have a handful of well known departments plus great foods courts out plenty varieties of choices. Service is mostly great but there are days that it was underperforming. As for value, it's depending on what you're looking for and where you shop. Overall, it is reasonable in value plus a great way for family outing and dining on budget. Great decorations during holidays too.

    This mall is huge. If you ever wanted to experience what a mall felt like in the 90s, come here on a weekend and spend the day shopping. They are remodeling one side but there is an entrance by the food court (which was packed!!). There are so many good shops here and plenty of fun activities!!!!

    We remember that this Main Place Mall in Santa Ana used to be busier and nicer. This mall needs to be updated and not many nice stores for us to go shopping. We tried Turkish coffee and delights with some Dubai chocolates but they were very pricy. The food court was also mediocre. We probably won't go back for a while.

    Not a bad mall- I've been here a few times. It's a pretty basic mall really. I like that there's plenty of parking and the parking includes a parking garage with plenty of non-covered parking too. I've been to this mall a few times now. The food court is basic too. Sbarro Pizza, Wetzels Pretzels, Panda Express, etc.

    Cool little mall here in Santa Ana, Ca. My first time here, I needed to waste an hour and a half and I was around the area. It's rare for me being around the Santa Ana area, I just don't really have a reason to go lol. Saturday between 10 am - Noon. Plenty of parking. I used the structured parking lot. According to my daughter who used to frequent this mall, there some new shops inside. Very clean, very pleasant atmosphere. Grab your Starbucks drink and shop around. I did a lot of window shopping today lol. Good selection of shops. Good food court area. Cinema inside. Worth the visit!

    Disneyland Parking Hack at Anaheim GardenWalk (April 2026 update)…read more I saw this info on Instagram and decided to try it myself at the end of April 2026. Sharing both the update and my actual experience. From what I saw online, starting April 1, 2026, parking at Anaheim GardenWalk increased from $18 to $20 for the discounted daily rate, and the process is now different. You no longer need to upload receipts by text. Just buy something at Starbucks, Paris Baguette, or Meet Fresh. At checkout, you need to ask for the "$20 rate" voucher since they won't offer it automatically. They will give you a paper voucher to scan when exiting. Regular parking is first hour free, then $4 per hour, with a $30 daily max. Still cheaper than Disneyland parking. My experience: Navigation: Anaheim GardenWalk 321 W Katella Ave, Anaheim The entrance is on W Katella Ave and goes straight into the indoor structure. The signage is a bit confusing. Elevators show B2 to 5, while parking levels are labeled P1 to P4. Just remember your P level and section. P1 is ground level and has parking plus Paris Baguette P2 and P3 are parking P4 has parking, Starbucks, and Meet Fresh. Google Maps labeling here is a bit misleading Parking tip. Try to park near the elevators since the payment machines are right there. I went on a weekday around 5pm and parked at P3 section B. I walked up to P4 and Starbucks was right around the corner. No mobile order available at that time, card only, and they close at 6:30pm. After ordering, I asked for the parking voucher. Staff did not offer it unless I asked. Walking to Downtown Disney: Fastest route is toward Disney Way, then connect to S Harbor Blvd. If you are not sure, you can navigate to Foundation Room Anaheim. After going down the stairs you will be on Disney Way. It took about 12 minutes to reach security. On the way back, I tried walking from Din Tai Fung toward W Katella and then S Harbor. It added about 30 extra minutes. Going back the same way is definitely faster. Parking payment result: Before leaving, I scanned my ticket and it showed $12. First hour free, then $4 per hour. Then I scanned the $20 Starbucks voucher and the machine showed I could exit with no payment. I even asked staff to confirm and they said if it lets you exit, you are fine. I ended up leaving without paying. That said, the system didn't seem very stable. I saw a few cars getting stuck at the gate. I probably just got lucky this time. I wouldn't expect free parking every time. Safer to assume around $20 per day with validation. If it ends up cheaper, just treat it as a bonus. Either way, it is still cheaper than Disneyland parking, so I would use this option again.

    This shopping district is unique that it encompasses all the businesses, shops, and restaurants…read morethat a regular shopping district would have, but it also incorporates on the peripheral of the district shops which has their respective business owners living directly above there business. There's definitely pros and cons living directly above your own business. Pros: - no commute - never late - tax deduction for home being a business Cons: - clients/customers know where you live!!! I digress. So this shopping district is conveniently close to many homes, businesses, and roads. With that said it's very popular during Lunch and dinner therefore parking can take awhile. The main anchor store is Mother'sMarket. then there's Bank of California, a variety of satellite shops(photography, grooming, accounting etc), and small eateries. Sadly, there aren't many larger upscale restaurants. It looks as if there was a McCormick and Schmidt's, but it's closed I usually come here for the food court. It's been around for over a decade. Through the years I've seen various businesses come and go. I used to come here just for this great sandwich joint (Paninoteca Maggio) that made a delicious porchetta sandwich. Despite being so close to the Main Place mall it seems to hold its own with the locals. Tips: -If you're visiting the area and are nearby I definitely recommend grabbing a bite at the food court. My top three(in no particular order) -The Habit -DonerG -Curry house(Japanese) If you just crushed a workout, come by and grab a shake at the Muscle Maker Grill!
