About Santa Monica Place
Nestled near the historic Santa Monica Pier and the Pacific Ocean, the open-air mall is a longstanding fixture in L.A.
Santa Monica Place has long been a hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment in the Los Angeles area. Visitors often stop by its eating spots, such as The Cheesecake Factory and Din Tai Fung, in a coastal setting.
With the entry of Club Studio and Arte Museum, The Gourmandise School (known for its culinary classes) and Cayton Children’s Museum are preparing to expand.
