2800 E Observatory RdThe mall is super close-by and has the typical major brands along with movie theaters and entertainment centers. Great for families and kids. Fun fact we love to share: the time travel scene in Back to the Future was filmed here as the Twin Pines Malll!
The Brea mall is a bit larger with better stores. The biggest and best mall around is South Coast Plaza down in Orange County.

Downtown has some concert halls, event centers, and a burgeoning urban scene. This is where most of the skyscrapers are in LA. Come to DTLA for great Japanese food in Japantown, shopping in the Arts District, or dinner over the city at Spire 71. Steer clear of skid row.

Рекомендации для путешественников
Транспорт
Car Rental/Rideshare is best for getting around
There is little public transit in this suburban area. It will be best to travel by car. I'd recommend renting a car in LA/OC because there is limited public transit in the area.
Что взять с собой
Pack for colder evening weather
The weather tends to swing from daytime highs to evening lows. People are often surprised at how chilly it gets in the evenings. It's a combination of the desert climate, steady breezes and and outdoor lifestyle. Check the weather forecast ahead of time and bring a few extra layers just in case!
