Discover the Quirky Horton Plaza Mall

This fun 'n funky San Diego scene is "happening!"





In the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of Westfield's Horton Plaza Mall in downtown San Diego, California. This exciting shopping destination in the heart of the downtown area is fun for both locals and visitors alike. Located close to both the popular Embarcadero waterfront attractions as well as the San Diego Convention Center, tourists will find this a convenient and memorable place to shop. Indeed, no visit to San Diego is complete without a stop at Horton Plaza!








Horton Plaza Mall overview

Picture: Horton Plaza Mall, downtown San Diego, California's attractive outdoor shopping center There are places you can go in Southern California to revel in some really funky architecture...and the Horton Plaza Mall is one of them!

Southern Californians LIKE the crazy looks of places like Horton Plaza. These are places where the natives can go to feel "wild and free," like Californians are meant to be...or so we think! These are also places where tourists can go to gawk at the Californians...and reassure themselves that the rest of the United States is absolutely correct in thinking of California as a Bohemian, somewhat "nutty" state. No problem. The natives don't consider that opinion of them to be an insult; in fact, they love their distinctiveness.

So, Horton Plaza Mall is more than just a place to shop. It's a place to come to "enjoy being Californian," or for tourists, a place to realize that "you're not in Kansas any more, Dorothy!"


Photo of Horton Plaza Mall in San Diego, California If Horton Plaza reminds you a little bit of Venice Beach, well...it should. Both of these unusually-constructed places took inspiration from Venice, Italy's architecture. At Horton Plaza, though, simply one style wasn't enough...there are Native American and other influences used throughout the complex. Yes, a hodgepodge it is...but a delightful one!

Since this is a downtown mall, the profile of the shopping center is tall...several stories high. However, it's not uniformly tall...no, that would be too boring! Walkways and walls seem to jut at odd angles. Paths don't move in a straight line. Obelisks, fountains & flowers punctuate the courtyards. What fun!

To make a long story short, come see the Horton Plaza Mall just "for the fun of it!" But while you're there, you'll ALSO discover that you can shop for high-quality merchandise...and take in a delicious meal...or see a show...at the same time.
