The Grove's a very beautiful place and I love walking around at night when they have the lights up and music going. If you go on an off peak day, you're almost certain to see celebs there. But I really like only going here because it's within walking distance and they have a huge Barnes and Noble. If I had to drive though, I probably wouldn't come as often. Plus the movie theaters are expensive (special pricing just for Friday and Saturday!). But the atmosphere is great to get a taste of LA, the restaurants are pretty good, and they have a very entertaining water show. It might not be Bellagio, but it's still very romantic...

The grove is an outdoor mall, complete with restaurants and even a fountain. Parking a little expensive, but it is indoor, and they have valet parking if you wanted. The types of stores here can range from clothing stores, to even an Apple store dedicated uniquely to apple items including ipods and macs. They have a nice theater as well.

I love going to The Grove! The Grove is a great outdoor shopping mall/place. During December, The Grove is covered in decorations and they even have fake snow falling every hour or so! It's a nice rather up-scale-ish place to shop. It's really clean and tidy. I would've rated it "perfect" if only it wasn't so frustrating shopping in the rain! Even though you could carry your umbrellas along and walk outside from shop to shop, it gets so annoying walking through the stores leaving your foot prints everywhere you step! If anything, you should go to have a cup of coffee at one of the restaurants and/or cafés besides the gorgeous water fountains and the nice lights.

I'm not a mall person, but I can always tolerate The Grove. It's an easy place to take the kid and just hang out. A good hint about food though: go next door to the attached Farmer's Market instead of the restaurants in The Grove itself. You can get a great meal that is relatively inexpensive. And there's a great variety of food there, so everyone in your party can get exactly what they want and not be limited by one restaurant menu.

I love The Grove mostly because they allow you to bring pets. Other than that, it is just your average shopping mall. There are a lot of couples here. The stores are ordinary (A&F, Gap, etc.) and some of the restaurants are rather impressive. I love the fountains! I just love the atmosphere of The Grove.

There is nothing one could possibly need that can't be found at The Grove. It's the Disneyland of shopping centers, complete with trolley! During the winter, festive decorations are in place. This sprawling oasis of consumerism boasts every shop imaginable, from "staples" (Bath and Body Works), to the more specialized (Anthropologie). Parking is free with validation. If you hunger for something a little less corporate, head down the way to the Farmer's Market, where you can get a slightly smaller-scale shopping and dining experience.

At the Grove you almost don't feel like you're in a mall except for the parking lot. It's open, and there are a lot of trees and decorations. The stores are smartly distributed so you don't feel like everything is packed up. You can actually enjoy the walk and the sun. They have a big movie theatre. However, though this mall is really pretty and have all the stores one is looking for, the parking is incredibly expensive!!!! even after you validate you still have to pay. That's a bit disappointing considering even the promenade gives you 3 hours free.

The Grove is a great place to go to be able to walk outdoors down a shopping strip. It's a great atmosphere to bring a family to or go on a date. It doesn't have many stores but those they do have are huge, like the 2 story Abercrombie and Fitch. They also have an amazing movie theater, though it's pricey. Parking can get expensive, even after a validation, which you shouldn't forget to get. Maggiano's has great Italian food there!

The Grove is a great place to go with friends, family, or a date. Its outside shopping and entertainment definitely makes it unique, and since it's Souther California it is always sunny. There is a trolley which makes it fun. There are a variety of stores such as Crate and Barrel and the Gap, and it has fine restaurants as well as the Farmer's Market. You may even spot celebrities!

Pacific Theatres-The Grove gets A+ from me when it comes to theatres. The stadium seating is extremely comfortable and the way the theatre is designed every seat has a good view. The grove is always clean and everyone that works there from the ticket booth, ticket taker, concession stand worker etc. all are friendly and greet you with a smile. Although this is my favorite theatre I must admit that the ticket prices and concessions are pretty expensive so be prepared to shell out close to one hundred dollars for a family of four.
