Horton Plaza



Located to the rear of the impressive Horton Plaza Park, this massive mall served as the main catalyst for San Diego’s downtown redevelopment. With five levels, it covers the area of seven blocks and has 2300 parking spaces. The plaza boasts a multi-screen cinema, two live theatres, 140 shops, a large variety of restaurants and shops. This really does cater for all and makes a great family day out.
Although quite dull and uninviting from the exterior, the inside is very contemporary while providing a bit of nostalgia with the 1907 Jessop Clock just for good measure. On the northern side of the mall lie two obelisks, one which is covered with a fabulous mosaic extending down into the Lyceum Theatre and the other in front of the Westin Hotel. These impressive works are well worth a look just on their own. The best view for people watching is on the top floor where there is a lovely, but not too cheap eatery.
If it’s a day out shopping, a trip to the theatre or cinema or simply to catch a glimpse of downtown San Diego’s everyday hustle and bustle and way of life, then the Horton Plaza is the place to be.
