Gorgeous during the holidays & well designed to navigate with most restaurants on third floor. Near the Santa Monica Pier & Third Street Promenade.
My very first time going to this mall and it was great! Walked around and got to take pics with the Christmas tree. It was not that crowded when I went. I love how this place is uniquely designed :)
Located 2 blocks away from Santa Monica beach.
Parking was not easy. We found one for 2 hours, so we had to rush.
Clean and organized but limited in numbers of stores. I was expecting more stores. Some of them were completely new to us.
I found a Tesla store. Maybe convenient for some but not for us.
I found the mall little boring and nothing special about it. We left in less than 2 hours.

The Grinch Experience was cute. However, there was only one character that appeared, during the entire 90 minutes we were there. It was Sam I Am. My granddaughter was really hoping to see the Grinch or Cindy Lou. Or at least more than just one character.
Open air concourse three levels with escalators. High end stores and restaurants. Busy but doesn’t seem crowded.
On a Tuesday lunchtime in mid October, Santa Monica Place was very quiet. It was very clean and welcoming nevertheless. The restroom in the top level food court was exceptionally clean and fresh feeling. But because it was so lacking in clientele, there was no atmosphere and window shopping was more uncomfortable. Otherwise a very nice shopping zone.
It was a great experience to visit Santa Monica place. I'd enjoyed trying the Ferris wheel and the ice cream funnel cake. I'd taken some hilarious photo booth photos that will be going into my scrapbook. All I have to say is that I'd tried out 2 photo booths and one of them has better quality Photoshop than the other. Definitely a fun experience overall.
