STC Anaheim GardenWalk

GardenWalk in Anaheim offers a delightful mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With its vibrant atmosphere and a wide array of stores, it's an ideal spot for both tourists and locals. The open-air design and beautiful landscaping make it a refreshing break from the typical mall experience. A must-visit when in Anaheim!

This is only a destination because it’s so close to Disneyland, but with that being said, it’s a cool escape when you need to chill out and grab some food/drink in your down time. There are some cool stores that are fun to walk through where you’ll absolutely not buy anything but there are a few standouts - X Factory has an amazing selection of LoungeFly backpacks. Go here instead of buying at the Park. ChaPlus had some legit great BBT. If you’re a sports fan (especially from Western Canada, go and have a chat with S Preston. And my top recommendation, if you’re looking for something to do in an off day from the Park, go see a magic show at Kip Barry’s Magic Cafe. A highlight for us on our trip.

This place we as like walking into the Cantina on Mos Eisley in Star Ward. I had no idea what was going on…. Some sort of Anime get together, bizarre stores with niche kitch and horrendous food options. Only upside was the King Coffee which was amazing….

Kind of a cool little pace. A few places under construction but that's okay. Some cool places in there and stuff to do. They don't open until 11am and I noticed it wasn't busy until the evenings.

Went here last night with some friends for dinner at Fire +Ice. We got to build your own bowl with lots of noodles and a variety of meats, seasoning, and toppings. They also have beyond burger in the restaurant. They cook everything in front of you.There is a bar to watch sports. There are live musicians that play in the Gardenwalk. Plenty of small businesses that sell from the 3rd floor. I saw a few stores with loungefly backpacks that I was interested in. The Pandora store had lots of cool Hello kitty jewelry along with Princess outfits that joins another shop that sells makeup, nail polish, costumes, and some formal dresses. My friend and I looked at rows of tiaras that were displayed . Many stores limit photo taking so I wasn't able to get all the photos I wanted. I saw a bunch of Batman and Star wars merchandise . We stopped at a Game store called Meeples family. You can request a gaming tent where you and friends can play per hour. They had classics like Connect Four, Jenga, Monopoly, and endless choices of board games. I wanted to stop by the magic shop for coffee but was squeezing time to wander around and see other stores. Parking was free for two hours when we got Fire +Ice to help us out. I ended up paying $6 for the rest of parking. I can't wait to go again. My husband and I wanted to try to see Alice in Chains again in Fall at House of Blues. Tickets were sold out but we are hoping to get an extra date opening to see them again. House of Blues is on Level 4 when you park in the garage. They had a dj for a while playing by House of Blues.If you stay past 9pm, you can get a great view of the Disneyland fireworks. My husband and I saw a few in the sky as we were heading home .

This concept is great and there are many things to do here. Each time I went it was pretty dead though. I'm not sure how the businesses stay open. Most of the food places I tried weren't that good but it's still a nice area to walk around.

Its a huge and beautiful Mall. A lot of cute stores and place to eat and Boba drinks. Wish most stores open earlier but most open pretty late. The store owners and staff are nice and friendly even the security guards are nice. Place is pretty clean. I had lunch at Cheesecake Factory food was great
