A staple in Los Angeles that's always a nice place to spend some time walking around. There's a good amount of shops and plenty of restaurants. Of course the main focal point, the water fountain and little park. There's plenty of parking in the massive covered parking structure. There's also valet at the lower level which is easier in my opinion. You can also park where the farmers market is but they have their own validation system. It's a pretty decent size shopping area which is all outdoor. The main department store which is Nordstrom and then you'll have all the other smaller chains stores. Plenty of dining options, more on the dine in style. If you're looking for something quick and easy, there's the farmers market a couple minutes walk. Of course there's the movie theatre which is great. The whole grove concept is similar to the Americana which is larger. Dining options, shops and of course the fountain. It's a staple in LA that's worth checking out.
When I lived near here, I would come to The Grove often because Barnes & Noble had celebrity book signings. There was Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Jim Carrey even stayed hours after he needed to until he had spoken, taken pictures, and signed books for every single person who had waited in line for him. However, after the COVID pandemic they've noticeably stopped coming. Still, The Grove is a nice place to visit because it is so polished and touristy. There's the dancing fountain, free trolley, movie theater, shops and restaurants. Meanwhile, The Farmers Market is right next door, so you can easily walk there as well. It's a good place to kill time. Some stores are a bit on the pricey side, though. The trolley is a bit silly since the ride is so short. It takes longer to wait for the trolley than to just walk from one end of the mall to the other. It is a free novelty, though, so if you have nothing better to do, might as well. Recently, there was a parade and festival at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and I noticed several other people like me walking from there to The Grove since it's only around a 20 minute walk up Fairfax Ave. I think people decided to walk since parking at LACMA is $23 no matter what and we didn't want to pay it again. Parking at The Grove isn't cheap either, but it's easy and convenient since it's a huge multi-story parking garage with digital numbers that tell you how many spots are available on each level. My go to restroom is at the top level of Barnes & Noble, but there's also one at Farmers Market. The views of The Grove from the upper levels of Barnes & Noble are nice. There's also an onsite cafe on that level. Meanwhile, this Barnes & Noble is apparently one of the biggest in the US. Around the holidays, they put up one of the tallest Christmas trees in the US. They hang flying reindeer and a sleigh above the dancing fountain. They also put up a Santa house in the middle of the street where you can take pictures with Santa for a fee. One of the changes I didn't like around the dancing fountain, which is one of the few spots with trees and shade, is that they roped it off so that it became outdoor seating for the restaurants whereas before it was open to anyone. Even though I don't live near here anymore, I still end up visiting every now and then because of nearby festivals. At this point it's so familiar to me that as another reviewer had said "It's an LA staple."
The Grove is definitely one of the finer open malls in Los Angeles County and since its right next to the original Farmer's Market you kinda have to partially review them both, but this review is mostly about The Grove. It is not a huge mall but very compact, almost in a large circular area. Parking is a bit tough, so get there early. There is parking as well down a block or two from the Du-Pars restaurant which is right at the end of Farmer's Market. The Grove has a big mixture of high end stores as well as your major typical shops and eateries. Some of the places we have eaten at are Alma's Mexican, The Cheesecake Factory, and Sogno Toscano Italian. You cannot go wrong with either. This past week we decided on the Cheesecake Factory for brunch. The landscaping and architecture of the Grove is beautiful with a central fountain. They even have a movie theatre. But, if you are coming to the grove, make sure to check out Farmer's Market. There must be 50 specialized shops in there from Huntington Meats to Dylan's Candy. The Grove is a really cool place to visit, walk around, shop and eat.
Stopped at the glass box for the Lancôme pop up! It was great to take their test and get 3 deluxe samples! The service was fantastic and it was nice to see they were even open as late as the Grove!
I enjoy the groove so much!!!! There is paid parking, valet, It's an outside shopping center with some of the best shopping stores out there. Nordstrom, Charlotte Tillbury, sephora, clothing designers, nike, apple, plenty of cafe and restaurants, movie theater, a farmers market. I went to the south Korea skincare store Eesoul (there until August 12, 2026). Which only has the activities on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, I didn't know this so I went on a Tuesday. Also, their sample bags are only giving those days. I didn't get an allergic reaction to one of the products I tested in my hand. Wished there was more info online cause I wanted to do the services like the color analysis and the manicure. But my experience was a bit bland so I wouldn't come back. Regardless of that, the groove is a great place to visit and enjoy
This place is close to The Original Farmers Market. Shops are pricey, but this is a tourist destination. Lots of eateries and stores, a movie theater, and even a trolley! There is a Nordstroms, Coach, a Cheesecake Factory, and many bougie boutique shops, a wide selection of stores to shop. Most stores are more of the higher end products, but hey, this is Hollywood. There is outdoor dining near the fountain which is on display prominently in the middle of the outdoor mall. Service is great depending which store you go to. My only gripe is the parking situation. DON'T COME ON THE WEEKENDS. TOO BUSY.
Rick Caruso created this masterpiece of this open air outdoor mall in 2002 for 160 million and it is magnificent way to spend a day in LA! It sits on the site of a former dairy farm and plant nursery right next door to the Original Farmers Market. I had so much fun here last Saturday showing bf how cool my hometown is. We went into almost every store and shopped then rode the cute trolley and acted like true tourists! I highly recommend coming here and enjoying the beautiful Southern California weather!
I love the Grove; it has two sections. The older section has the Farmers Market, where you can purchase Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Hot sauces, cooked food, and candy--so many delicious foods and knick-knacks. The newer part of the Grove has all the modern restaurants with an amazing view of the fountain. Some of the restaurants have upstairs seating which gives you a nice view of the Grove. If you never been here you must come at least once. The Grove has AMC Theatre, Barnes and Noble book store, Zephora Cosmetic, Clotjing stores, Nordstroms. Sees Candy and much more. Will definitely be back.
They have everything here I love Nike Nordstroms all that!!! I come here at times and I'm never disappointed!!! They have good selections at the stores and good deals when it is sales!!! Very good customer service and easy to find the stores. They have pretty much everything here a good restaurants, and the farmers market section. He also had a movie theaters here too if you want to see a movies. This is a very good mall that is outdoor that kind of reminds you of Americana but slightly different. I always get good deals out of Zara and the Nike store. Very good place to go to in the summer too with the bomb ambience. -Marshay D.
The Grove has become a must go to visit place in Los Angeles. It's trendy, it's still quite new and well kept, and it seems very Los Angeles, culturally. There are many benches to sit. People watching us normal because there's so many people there. I enjoy sitting around the LaLa Land area, sipping my coffee. Very trendy little walkway leading to a parking lot and the property management company. Lots of eateries, shopping, and a Farmers Market. I'd say aside from the shopping boutiques, Nordstrom and the Apple Store are probably the pillars of the Grove... and perhaps the AMC Theater as well. Parking on weekends are hectic. It's not cheap. Even after my Nordstrom validation after a purchase, I still had to pay $15. I'm not sure how much it might cost without validation, but probably x3 of my cost. However, it really depends on how long you stay there. One problem I saw was people bringing their pets, and not cleaning after them. There was a poignant smell around the grass area and LaLa Land. Unfortunately, people step on the dog stuff, and it makes it a bigger problem. Very unsanitary. I think there should be a rule about pets, and a penalty especially for not cleaning up after them. Overall, the Grove is beautiful. Great Los Angeles experience, and decent eateries. Preferably I rather go during the week when it's less hectic.
I love the grove, is my favorite mall in LA, now they have this pop up store located in the center, next to the fountain, where you can watch the World Cup games, they give you drinks like water, flags and little bells to support your team, it's very organized and the staff is young and kind, the ambience is a vibe like a party. You just have to come a little early like before the game, I would say 30 min before to make sure you can get a nice sit, it's free and definitely a good option if you want to come with kids.
The weather was awesome, and I had business right on the outer perimeter of The Grove going to the key place I detailed in another review. Once that business was taken care of, I decided to mosey about as it was the first time here in quite a long time. Since Chinese New Year is among us, The Grove were sure to point attention to that and paid homage to the Year of the Fire Horse. Went inside most of the big stores such as apple, nike, nordstrom, cheesecake factory and a few others. The only drawback today was I didn't see the little train or trolley in operation but I could have missed it or it could have been taking a break. Overall this shopping center has pretty much anything any adult, team, or kid would want. I was just happy to be out and about. The CSA or customer service all star of this experience is pictured. A true ambassador, he was kind enough to answer a few questions I had for him amidst the crowd as well as in these trying times since war has broken out. Quite naturally, he's got to be on guard and keep alert for any suspicious activity, so I didn't want to keep him too long.
Grove is a fixture in our trips to LA.. there are lots of things that happen at the grove throughout the year. Jellycat pop up, Nike soccer pop up. Different events throughout and the delicious farmers market.
The Bottom Line 4 stars: Nice shopping and entertainment complex. A lot of dining, shopping and entertainment options. As somewhat expected in a highly populated area in a big city, be vigilant and watch out for yourself, because despite cameras everywhere and the occasional security personnel, you tend to see some shady characters lurking around. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the East of the original Farmer's Market. The Grove has a huge but very busy parking structure, so while you may have to journey to the upper levels, you will eventually find parking. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Their validation rules are fairly complex and not straightforward, so be sure to read all the fine print. They also have Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice modern open air set up with a Nordstrom, Zara and H&M and a bunch of smaller stores, an AMC movie theater, a Barnes and Noble, a Cheesecake Factory, and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants to fit most tastes and budgets. One catch being that the Grove parking lot cannot be validated by the Farmers Market stores and vice versa. Once you are on premises you can use the trolly to move from one end of the venue to the other. Also keep in mind that the Original Farmers Market is literally next door and attached to the Grove, which dramatically increases your food options. read more

If it wasn't for the pricey parking fee at the grove, I would go much more frequently! Walking around the grove especially with the holiday decorations is so nice compared to the other malls around the area, like Beverly Center. I'm not sure if it's because it's an outdoor mall...it's just pleasing to the eyes. They also decorate according to the seasons. I also like how they let you walk around even when the stores are closed. Their trolley doesn't run all the time so make sure to check the hours if you are going for that! They have good shops from all price range and frequented by people of all ages! The only thing is they don't have a food court like malls usually do, but there's restaurants with all kinds of options like sushi, pizza, burgers, steak throughout the grove. read more
We were passing through town and decided to check out "The Grove". It's a beautiful shopping mall with restaurants. There's a double decker trolley that can take you from the mall area to the original farmer's market area. A free ride when you get all tuckered out from all the walking!! I've seen photos of people coming during the Christmas month. It looks amazing! I'd like to check that out. There's lots of high end stores. There's magic shows, live music, dancing fountain, movie theater, and more. It was busy when we were there. They say it's busier on the weekends. Overall, a beautiful shopping experience! A little on the tourist trap side. The holidays would be worth the time to visit! read more
Visited the Grove mid-December mainly for the Jellycat Pop Up and was so happily surprised to see even MORE pop ups. We went through a Spotify, Direct TV, and Bailey's pop up that gave us lots of free goodies! The Grove honestly is such a great place to shop and eat at. I have been there multiple times and have eaten at Din Tai Fung nearby! Just be prepared as crowds can get big since it's a popular destination! read more
The Grove during Christmas is pure magic. I don't throw that word around lightly, but this place genuinely feels like you stepped into a holiday movie set. The lights, the giant Christmas tree, the music, the energy, everything just hits at once. It's one of those rare LA spots where you can go on a date night, a family outing, or even solo and still feel like you're part of something special. You do not need to spend money to have a good time here either. Walking around, people watching, soaking in the atmosphere alone is worth the trip. That said, here's a little pro tip that makes the experience even better. If you plan on eating, grab food somewhere on property and get your parking validated so you don't pay for parking at all. Sometimes, if you're lucky and catch the right attendant or business, they'll validate even without a purchase, but I wouldn't rely on that. Parking itself is very straightforward. There's the main structure connected directly to The Grove, additional structures nearby, and street access if you're patient enough to hunt. Just read the signs, follow the flow, and don't rush. This place gets busy, especially at night and on weekends, but that chaos is honestly part of the charm. You just have to show up knowing it's going to be lively and let it be what it is. There's also an incredible mix of stores here. High end designer spots, popular retail, gift shops, and so many food options that you can come back multiple times and still not hit everything. And then there's the trolley, which is completely free and such a fun touch. Yes, the line gets long, but again, patience is the theme of the night. The fact that celebrities casually ride it too just adds to the experience. Rihanna was literally there recently with her kids riding the trolley, and it didn't feel forced or chaotic, just very LA in the best way. What really makes The Grove special at Christmas is that it feels like a shared experience. Everyone is there for the same reason, to feel festive, to slow down, to enjoy the moment. If you plan ahead, come with patience, wear comfortable shoes, and embrace the crowds instead of fighting them, you will have an amazing time. This is one of those places that reminds you that sometimes the best memories come from just being present, walking around, and letting the night unfold. Five stars without question. read more
I have not been here for some time time, I used to come here very regularly back in the day! It's crazy to see how much they upgraded and expanded the shops here, They now have a Gucci store right across from Micheal kors the opened up an alo store and they moved the Apple Store from right across from the move theaters so right near Nordstrom's and the Nike store, I did decide to come at the perfect time as they have the Christmas time decorations up. read more
Love love LOVE the grove, and the Christmas spirit is in the air! I love this time of year at the Grove. They have the Christmas tree up, as well as other Christmas decorations and photos with Santa! There's Christmas music playing throughout the plaza and I just LOVE it! There's so much variety and great sales going for the holidays! I can't speak on much about service because I didn't really receive service walking through the grove. But I absolutely love the Christmas magic and seeing all the people and families and children. I love the Farmer's Market and the variety and value of food options, as well as produce! I tend to come here for rambutans when they're in season! Strongly recommend you come to the Grove and get into the Christmas spirit! It's always safe, clean, and you will definitely get your money's worth even if you spend nothing at all, because the vibe is just that great! #windowshoppergang Come for a priceless experience during the holidays, and shop great deals at Sephora! read more
Always a great time at the Grove. A nice amount of stores, food, and restaurants to choose from. Great place to hang out with friends or family. Service is always good and the selection of stores for clothes is perfect. Great value bargains for your buck. read more
The beautiful shopping area in LA, filled with truly something for everyone! From LaLa Land cafe for coffee, to pressed juice, to the new Revolve store, there is a store, or dining option for everyone at any time of the day. A worker at the Grove told us there is something for someone who likes to drink, something for kids, and something for those who love to shop. The selection is top tier with both high end stores and stores that may be more for everyone! read more
Came here to use the parking garage to visit the Holocaust Museum LA, but stayed to watch the fountains and enjoy the vibe at The Grove for a bit. The Grove was originally the site of an orchard and nursery. The farmers market still operates near the high end stores. Loved walking through the open market place. The Central Park has an animated fountain. This is similar to the fountains at Bellagio, but on a much smaller scale. The electric powered trolley cars are so nostalgic. A nice place for a quick stop to soak in the LA sunshine. read more

The Grove is kind of like the Disneyland of outdoor shopping malls. A fantastical image of what a cute little pseudo-European town square might look like...from the perspective of one who has never left the United States. It's got bistros and cute little shops and fountains performing intricate water shows. It's very shiny and curated and a little bit silly. It's a selfie-taker's dream come true. The shops and restaurants at The Grove skew mid-range to upscale. You're going to see both The Gap and Gucci. Most of the places are not stores that I generally enjoy, so I've really only gone here for the Apple Store (which looks like a human terrarium) and TASCHEN books (one of the few more alternative shops there). Getting in and out can be a bit of a hassle as the parking is labyrinthine. Unfortunately, none of the stores I've gone in validates parking. However, I've managed to get my parking ticket validated at restaurants, even if I didn't dine there. I've ended up at The Americana a lot more than here simply because it's closer. The Americana is completely the same style and, unsurprisingly, they are both developed by Rick Caruso and were designed by the same architectural groups. read more

Had a very disappointing experience with parking at The Grove. I came to shop and dine, arrived at 12:52 PM and left at 2:57 PM -- literally just a few minutes over the 2-hour validation limit from Gap, where I made purchases. Despite being a paying customer spending money at your stores and restaurants, I was charged the full $15 parking fee. Now that's not the first time that the validation is not working or applied!!!! But now what ? You will go back to the store after walking to your parking floor?!? This policy feels unreasonable and excessive. Customers who come to support the businesses at The Grove should not be penalized with outrageous parking charges over a few minutes. Situations like this discourage people from shopping and dining there. There should be a grace period or a reduced fee for customers who slightly exceed the validation time, especially when they are actively spending money on the property. Very disappointing customer experience. read more
The Grove did not win me over. Highly overpacked, high priced items for purchases and there wasn't much that really caught my eye. It's a tourist trap in my opinion. A one and done type of experience. Between the Grove and the Farmers Market, I would much rather stay on the farmers market side. read more

The Grove is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon or evening in Los Angeles. The shopping center is always clean, beautifully maintained, and has a great mix of stores and restaurants. The atmosphere is lively without feeling overwhelming, and the staff at the shops are friendly and helpful. It's a perfect place to shop, grab a meal, or simply enjoy walking around. Parking is convenient, and the overall experience is always enjoyable. I look forward to coming back every time I'm in the area. read more
Overall - 10/10 This is a wonderful destination to come if you are visiting Los Angeles. It is a nice place to stroll. They are always having fund things happening on the weekend & weekends with various things from free pop-ups, shops, eat, and fun cafes too. The grove is always a wonderplace where I get to enjoy some shopping with K-beauty stores popping up. They also have pop-ups for K-beauty like the laneige store where I recently went shopping for some korean beauty products. They also have stores that also pop-up in the area too. They have a garage that has parking and possibly shreat parking in the neighborhood nearby that is a short walk to the plaza. Shopping/Food - I love coming to the grove and have visited for various pop-up in the area. It also had a lot of pop-ups and recently had one with Medi-Cube, TirTir, Biodance, Maison Margiel Fragrance, and Touchland. These pop-ups came with so many free skincare, food, and desserts. I got to try ice cream from Creamy Boys and meet a Korean Star, Kevin Woo, at a pop-up. Overall experience - It is a pleasant place to visit when I want to strool in the Los Angeles area. I love all the happenings at the grove randomly throughout the week. I am also glad for all the freebies including free ice cream, popsicles, dreanks, and k-beauty products. read more

The Grove is a nice outdoor mall with a mix of high end stores. Around the holidays, especially at Christmas, the decorations are great and festive, it's definitely a great place to walk around. There's a good movie theater and lots of places to eat. The Original Farmers Market is also here, it has a bunch of different food options, and the people working there are usually pretty friendly. read more

Hanging out with the fam, we out here hitting all the stores. So far I hit Michael k, coach, Nordstrom Rack just to name a few this is a stand alone mall so it's in and out. We took a trolley ride around the center great experience for the kids It was a very busy Saturday but manageable. The restaurants were packed and on a 2+ hour waiting time mostly because of our group size. But we shopped till we dropped read more

This plaza is absolutely beautiful and filled with nice shops. we came to enjoy the famous tree lighting we watch it on TV every year and thought why not experience it in person. The staff was nice enough to get us to an entrance that was less crowded. It was raining the music was awesome and it was worth it. Such a great experience. read more

How much is parking and which restaurants validate parking? Thanks in advance.
We were just at the Grove Sunday evening and we were there for about an hour or so, parking was $5 with no validation. Some restaurants offer validation but not sure about the cost (best to ask prior to going, usually 2 hours but may vary per…
Should my dog be in a leach the entire time?
Yes your dog should be on a leash the entire time or in a stroller.
Website states all cars leaving after 4PM pay a flat $50 so you can't go to an evening movie or dinner at hourly rate anymore?
I almost always go after 4pm and I pay by the hour
Hi, Is a vaccination card required to shop?
No, I went recently and they didn't ask.
Parking validation is for how long at the Grove?
Just don't go. If you don't get validation and stay past 2 hours, you owe them your first born $$$$$ I don't go anymore
Any tree or holiday lights at the Grove as of 12/11/2020? What about the food court/outdoor market?
It's starting to get festive!
What hours are the Christmas tree lights on until (I.e. what time would they turn them off)?
Their hours are from 9AM to 11PM. I would imagine you would have to leave long before they turn of the lights each evening. Unless you are asking when they turn them off at the end of the season?
Can you pay for parking with cash?
Yes, but you have to pay it at the pay station. If you try to pay it at the exit, they will only take credit card.
How is it during the Christmas tree lighting? Is there a lot of people, how is parking, how early should you arrive, and is it even worth going to?
Very pretty during Christmas, huge beautiful tree as most nice malls. Parking is pretty packed on weekends, during weekdays a little better, but if you come earlier during the day you should be ok.
Is there a family room in this place?
Yes, there is family rooms at the Grove and many family oriented things to do.
Where can you find ribs at the grove?
Good Afternoon Joel, Thank you for reaching out. We suggest Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill for ribs at The…
Better to visit during the day or during the evening?
Both. It's unparalleled during the holidays in the evening, but at regular times of the year both times have their perks. You can get more done during the day, but it lights up nicely at night.
