Arts & Culture

It is about 2-3 miles east right as you enter Old Town Pasadena. It has great collections and a very nice garden. It is inexpensive and you can walk if you want - although most would not. It is a short car drive or Uber ride.

Every clothing store and lots of restaurants. Nothing fantastic but a lot of people like it a lot and you never know what you will find. Parking is free in the garages for I believe 2 hours.

Entertainment & Activities

This is an open air mall much like the Grove and owned by the same person. They have lots of food options, every type of shopping and a large movie theater. It is very touristy and packed. But it is interesting to experience. They also have a Din Tai Fung which is the best dumpling house in the United States. The original one is in Arcadia but this is closer. The wait is insane so if you are interested you want to check the hours and get there early or have no other plans.
