Great Shopping Experience

by Jrichardson09

CityWalk is a great place to shop and eat. The food was great!, and i got a personalized leather bracelet from Rant 'n' Rave Kiosk. The employees at Rant 'n' Rave were very helpful and kind.

• Pros: I got the best customer service
• Cons: Expensive Parking

Worst experience ever

by PrettyPrincess2000

My husband my friends and I went there to have a good time we waited in line for 20 mins. or so then when we got to the front a big black security guard didn't let my husband in because supposedly baggy Dockers pants. His pants were no baggier that any one else in that place. It was so embarrassing!!! I will never go back there again or recommended to anyone else I know!!!

Place is awesome, cost to park is not

by jenheidir

OK, so this definitely an L.A. tourist trap, and if you don?t come with a car full of people, parking is atrocious at around $10 per car. However, all the flashing billboards and larger-than-life architecture make Citywalk feel like a little slice of Vegas in Valley, just without the gambling. Tapas bar Tu Tu Tango and Southwestern rodeo restaurant Saddle Ranch are my favorite places to dine. I love looking at the quirky objects inside the socks and magnet stores. Citywalk is a great place to bring out-of-towners for some entertainment or for Angelenos who are not too embarrassed to mix in with the tourists.

Claustrophic and cheesy

by jericsmall

As an outdoor mall, this one misses the mark. As a tourist destination too. Whether you're going for a movie, to shop, or to dine, it just seems like its a mess. The alley is too narrow, leading to crowdedness even when the crowd isn't that large. Tourist mix with area teens. And they charge for parking at ridiculous prices. All the stores pretty much sell stupid stuff. And the restaurants don't really even try. If you're from out of town, I'd suggest you skip the trap and go straight for one of the Los Angeles restaurant rows or upscale shopping centers. Visitors who have experienced Orlando's version of the same beware, this one is nothing like the open airy and thriving east coast namesake.

• Pros: Convenient for the main park
• Cons: Expensive parking

Lots of Shop Eye Candy

by porkjello

City Walk has improved over the years. There were issues regarding gangs that hung out there that seem to have been resolved with an increased security presence. They have nice places to spend your time and money like BB Kings, the Rhumba Room, Howl at the Moon piano bar, and the newly remodeled AMC movie theaters. The major issue is that it costs $10 to park in order to go to Citywalk so I'd recommend carpooling here and make sure you are going to do something or else you're just paying $10 to see tourists, drunk clubbers, and neon lights.

• Pros: They have sit down and fast food dining options along with a movie theater
• Cons: $10 parking

It's a mall with cool neon

by netter1

One of the first things you'll notice about CityWalk are the great signs. Most of them are in the style of the traditional neon, but some are also authentic. There are tons of shops to browse in, but for me...CityWalk is more of an eating destination. I say eating as opposed to "dining" because you can get a great sausage sandwich or pizza as well as sushi, filet mignon and king crab legs. After seeing the great success of the CityWalk, Disney followed suit and built Downtown Disney in Anaheim. CityWalk has some great restaurants, but they've had a few flops, too. There was the comic book-themed restaurant...the name of which I don't remember, the seafood restaurant Gladstone's, and several others that we enjoyed in the past. The only drawback about the CityWalk...well, I think there are two, really...the parking fee is a little outrageous and the numbers of people who throng the place can be suffocating, to say the least. The parking fee keeps us from going there more often...and the human horde makes CityWalk an "occasion-only" experience these days.

great way to end your day at universal studios

by cyrinthia22

There are so many shops, restaurants, etc., you can literally get lost in this place. There is a movie theater, which is pretty big, but it seems like it charges more than other AMCs out there and the service there seems to be about the same. I think during the summers they have free movie screenings outside, which sounds like a bunch of fun. There's also some type of live music playing all the time. Overall, it is a very energetic and fun place to spend your evening.

• Pros: A lot to do (eat)
• Cons: can get very busy and expensive
