The Grove, Los Angeles

Outdoor mall with a good variety of shops. Clothing, candy, kitchenware, an entire farmer's market with food and Lil French shop, and live performances. Can get busy as far as parking and foot traffic so make reservations if you can but there is something for everyone. Sometimes people chill on the small lawn by the large fountain and watch the performances.

I've grown up going to the farmers market, when the grove was added I was excited to have a movie theater and mall with beautiful architecture added near by my favorite Los Angeles landmark. Recently many of the original stores have changed and the atmosphere seems to have shifted. It's just not the same place. I love the architecture and it's a nice place for a date but I wouldn't go as often as I used to.

Amazing experience here. Last time we went they had a free concert! And they actually had staff handing out blankets so people could lounge in the park area and listen to the great music. It was an amazing local cover band. I cant think of their name sorry. But ya all the shops are classy and it's a great spot for date night

This is a small, but very entertaining outdoor mall. The Grove really changed quality of malls in the Los Angeles Angeles area with premium assigned seating theatre. Nordstrom was a good choice for a singular anchor mall considering the target clientele. Trolley might be gimmicky, but it is a nice distraction. Finally the advantages of being connected to the Farmers Market are innumerable for choice food and atmosphere.

Love love love the Grove! It's got an amazing farmers market. And the shopping is always amazing. Having a theater and lots of outdoor space is always a plus. It's especially pretty during the holidays, though the crowds tend to get big during the weekends.
