- Brandon KFlagstaff, AZ1,917 contributionsWe came here a couple of years ago for the Din Tai Fung and had about an hour to wander the mall while waiting to get seated. This time, we got to spend time in the mall and really check it out. This is a high end mall full of luxury shops, but it is also worth seeing just for its pure size. It is a mall on both sides of the street (which each half would be its own big mall somewhere else) with a great walking bridge in between. Kids had plenty to focus on between Lego and the teenage style stores. This is a great mall, and I never thought I would say that again.Written November 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CanisLDLos Angeles, CA136 contributionsThe park is situated near the Orange County Fairgrounds, Orange Coast College, and Costa Mesa High School. The park is a recreational park but has a pond section with fountains. The pond residences are ducks, geese and coots. The walkway are a bit littered with poop, but is expected with the size of the community of water fowls. We were there on a weekday evening and it was a quiet time spent there.Written September 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- D GMission Viejo, CA22 contributionsCame here on a Sunday morning. No one else was around. Very peaceful. My wife is a graphic artist and visited this "sculpture garden" in the mid-80s. She was amazed at how much it has matured.Written September 29, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Robert K127 contributionsHave been coming here for twenty years and enriched as a result.
On occasion, they push too hard to be cutting edge but the overwhelming majority of the shows are excellent.
Shrew versus Taming of the Shrew was witty and clever. Plus the cast seemed like they were having a blast and there were heartfelt emotions on the opening night.
Keep more fine plays coming our way.Written April 1, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s small but a nice place to enjoy coffee with friends or remote work/read.Written May 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DorisV660Costa Mesa, CA202 contributionsThe children concert series was a wonderful experience for the whole family. Parking can be expensive, but they are near by alternatives.Written April 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- THOMASFROMDAMASCUSDamascus, Syria3,850 contributionsThe Fairview Park is located in Costa Mesa in Southern California and is a must see location. It is really unique as it is nestled between many housing developments and really gives you the chance to rest and relax in the full glory of “Mother Nature”. It contains a large amount of natural habitat!
It is crisscrossed with many walking and Bike Trails. What I really like are the views from the highest point. On any clear day you have a great view of the famous Saddle Back Mountain and I was in the park Saddle back had a large amount of snow on its’ slopes!
Finally, there is a large car park so I never found it difficult to find a parking space.Written January 20, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is plenty of parking above or underground, and the sun seems to be shinning at all times.Written March 27, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EdwardSanta Rosa, CA2,484 contributionsThis is a very good brewpub in a light-industrial/commercial area of Costa Mesa (in Orange County, California) which has several microbreweries and taprooms. The place is overall nice, with some comfortable seating indoors and partially covered picnic table-seating outside. The beer range if good overall and the quality of the beers I had, including an excellent Irish red ale, very good. Food which I had was excellent,including a "smash" style cheeseburger and fries. Both perfectly cooked. Service was good and some people working there are clearly enthusiastic about the beers.Written March 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maria AKenwood, CA129 contributionsNice to walk and view. Very soothing water fountains, I viewed a private event at the gardens, wonderful!Written May 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- van mLaguna Niguel, CA63 contributionsThe concert was outstanding--a 10!!! The venue is good. It has good acoustics. Seats are reasonably comfortable. It's cool that your concert ticket also gives you access to the Fairgrounds. Ushers need more training. My fiancee had a walker (knee problem), which needed to be stored. First usher was no help. We went to the other end of the section and two female ushers were extremely helpful. Parking can be tricky--especially for handicapped. Box office told us one thing, parking attendants told us something different. What they don't tell you is that if you want reserved parking, you must ask for it when you buy the tickets. They will not give it to you later.Written July 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
