The Shops at Anaheim GardenWalk Reviews

To expensive. Can't afford the price of food at the restaurants. Won't be going back.

Gardenwalk was lovely, except the stores close too early. A lot of commercial ventures you can find virtually anywhere else. A few fun places to eat. A good way to burn a few hours or wait for your reservation to come up in a local restaurant.

We went for a nice stroll after everything was closed, and the ambiance was still quite lovely, even at night.

Very nice fun spot. Dining, shopping and entertainment. Nice scenery at night for the decor is pretty cool. Definitely a 5 star spot if it had more stores

We went to a concert at the House of Blues, and arrived just when doors opened at 7. Parking lot was full! Even valet took 20 minutes. Lines to the event were terribly long so we knew we wouldn't get a good spot in general admission. We decided to eat at the restaurant there (very good) and just go to the main act (Extreme). Made the decision to get VIP upgrade so we wouldn't be at the back of the floor. Mistake! We were led to our bar stools at the far back of the balcony. The furthest you can be from the stage, and the "upgrade" cost the two of us $150! The upgrade promised dedicated waitress. She showed up once during the show. The concert was great and Extreme was just amazing. Next time I'd just do general admission and deal with no personal space and not being able to get close to the stage. A great concert but lots of bad memories of the event. I hope they get their act together, but I'm doubtful. House of Blues is just a money making machine.

We dined at PF Changs. Delicious as always! Had the double fried noodles, used to on the menu but I asked and the made it. Impressed.

Good restaurant options and they do a decent job of keeping the homeless at the perimeter.

A lot of shops have closed in this center. However, you can find a parking place now. Shops are moving in, and it looks like more fun / night life stuff. House of Blues moved from Downtown Disney to make room for the Star Wars Experience, and bowling? Yes, rock 'n roll bowling. Great restaurants, nice lounging areas and fun places to explore after you eat.

Beautiful shopping center and very clean and elegant I totally reccomend it.

Convenient parking and good access to variety of food

I like what they city was trying to do, when they built this. Too bad it s a ghost town most of the time.

What a beautiful place especially before the shops are all open. It's so peaceful and quiet at 8 am.
Hard to find when Disney is 500 m away.

It was a great experience. I had not been to Anaheim in some years, I almost didnt recognize downtown Anaheim. We dined at Cheesecake Factory. The sevice was fast and efficient, the staff was very accommodating and the food was excellent!

P.F. Changs was delicious. Service could have been better.

Good selection of restaurants and cafes if you are in a mood for fast food.
Free entrance - your bag will be checked before you go in

The place is generally quiet with a much larger crowd in the evening during the dinner rush! They started doing an art event so keel an eye out to check out local young talent!

A cool little outdoor mall that connects hotels to the walk to Disney or the convention centre. There are some decent shops and restaurants around as well.

A must see if you are staying in Anaheim and having a chill out kind of night. A neat place to walk around and even sit down

It is a space of plants and something normal that does not have what your mind already know

Call into the cheesecake factory, you won't regret it.

Great place to grab food after a long flight or a day at Disney.

Easy parking. Nice Christmas decorations. House of Blues has great nachos.

This area was fun for my family and I! We went to Fire and Ice and thoroughly enjoyed all of the art and the general atmosphere.

Not a great mall, it s more of a strip mall of restaurants.

Had a lot of fun checking out a few shops with my girlfriend. Saw great art work and enjoyed the imperial storm troopers.

It's going down hill there's nothing to do over there only places to eat. Yeah I know that the house if blues is there but nothing else good.

We go to the garden walk every time we're in Anaheim for blizzcon, and it's always a treat! The only thing that's disappointing is that there's so few people walking around it! They have so many tasty places to eat, it's a beautiful area. I wish we had somewhere like this back home!

If your looking for a wide variety of places to choose from to eat this is the place!!

Everyone there is helpful and it's a nice place to be at!

WARNING - DO NOT GO HERE

The parkade "Manager" is a joke. We waited in line to get out for 10 minutes - after waiting for 10 minutes for someone to let us back out of our spot.

We were 3 minutes over our alotted 2 hours after we finally arrived at the booth. They wanted $1 A MINUTE FOR PARKING!!

They made us wait for a manager after we refused to pay and we were held hostage until we finally agreed to GET RIPPED OFF

It has been several years now that the city of Anaheim redeveloped this area, "AND IT NEEDED IT." The GardenWalk has a nice collection of higher end shops and some great restaurants for those visiting from out of town. Gone and forgotten are all the tacky store fronts and run down old motels.

Beautiful just between the parks full of nice restaurants we went in to the for rain forest cafe perfect

Nice little mall to walk in. Kind of deserted though. And creepy when nobody s around. Some nice shops there! All it needs is a little makeover. Went here last year. Totally recommend for something to do when your doing nothing!

Nothing much garden about it. Most stores were closed or vacant. Well decorated with Christmas lights though.

Great restaurants, local bands and shops. Parking garage was reasonably priced.

This is where the new house of blues is. No longer in Downtown Disney

There s nothing there... really odd place nearly all the shops are shut very strange!

Really kind of an easy experience love the House of Blues there

Visited this place everyday for three weeks on the way to Disneyland each day. The place was deserted everyday accept the weekend where the nightclubs on the second level were busy. The actual shops don't seem to have regular opening hours and some never opened at all. There are some restaurants and they are also empty. I don't know how this place can survive. It is however clean hence the two stars.

This is actually a really nice mall, nice to walk around and relax and grab a bite or do some quick shopping very relaxing and was not very crowded.

Love love this place! Lots of great options for shopping, eating, entertainment, and everything you can imagine. Only thing - parking is difficult to find and not free.

Anaheim GardenWalk is walking distance from Disneyland. And even now when most things are closed, it still boasts an impressive amount of restaurants and shopping areas. There s also something entertaining for everyone from the AMC movie theater to rides for little kids to 4D experiences to Escape Rooms.

If you plan to visit, see if you can go around sunset or later. Because the lighting on the trees and throughout the complex is excellent!

The only thing is - be prepared to pay a lot for parking. There s some available for cheaper cost that s farther away, but is usually full and you ll have to go around a few times to find a spot.

PRO TIP - some of the restaurants validate a part of your parking so ask your servers if that s an option where you ll be dining.

Hey thanks for reading our reviews. If they helped you find awesome places or learn interesting things you may have not known before, please like or share; it helps us out greatly :)

Love coming here and walking around. If you have the free time to walk around here you should do it.

Used their parking garage for overnight parking. Very good 24 hour security!

Awesome place, very clean both outside and inside. Lively music and lots to see.

Great restaurant options outside of Disneyland! 15 mins walking (CVS on the way).

No gardens at all. Just a literal tourist trap in the land of tourist traps. Seemed like there was a cool local punk show at the house of blues though.

It seemed kind of dead during the day.... And if you wait till later the stores close.

The pandemic has taken a toll on there businesses. The ones we went in to though were very warm and welcoming

Many different things to do +more.. shop dine and nightlife on the other side

Boring but still has Heat nite club, House of blues and that cool bowling alley

I went there for the first time and loved the atmosphere

We sat and talked and ate,,all had a good time and our waiter was great

Stopped into CPK for a bite to eat & to check out the new House of Blues, restaurants, & shops. Not everything is open yet, & there are still some vacancies, but this looks like a very nice place to come hang out. I look forward to spending more time here in the future, before & after concerts. There is a decent amount of open space & the parking was free for the first hour.
