The Mission Viejo and Kaleidoscope Malls
Same Interstate 5 exit...2 fun spots!
Visitors to Southern California will want to know about a convenient Interstate 5 exit in Orange County that's full of shopping, entertainment and dining fun for the whole family. It's the Crown Valley Parkway exit in Mission Viejo, California. Lying just to the east side of the 5 Freeway, you'll find both the small Kaleidoscope Couryard entertainment mall, and the huge Shops at Mission Viejo Mall.
You can easily see the Kaleidoscope Mall from Interstate 5. It features striking, hip archetecture...and, although it's the smaller of the 2 malls that we'll talk about on this page...it looks huge and fortress-like as it looms up over the freeway at Crown Valley Pkwy. Your eyes will naturally be riveted upon it!
Hidden back behind other buildings...and many trees...is the more sedate, but larger, full-service mall, called the Shops at Mission Viejo. Here you'll find many upscale shopping opportunities, blended in with mid-range priced and family-oriented stores, to complete a well-rounded shopping experience.
First up: a description of the food 'n' fun you can enjoy at the Kaleidoscope Mall!
Kaleidoscope Mall --
Hip Architecture + an emphasis on entertainment = FUN!
The Kaleidoscope Courtyard is a modern entertainment mall that's very good at entertaining! At the Kaleidoscope, you'll find movies and other types of family entertainment, plus restaurants and snack spots where you can begin...or end...your session of fun.
ENTERTAINMENT AT THE KALEIDOSCOPE MALL---
The Kaleidoscope's entertainment centerpiece is the Edwards 10 Theater. Located on the top floor of this open-air mall, you'll enjoy stadium seating and state-of-the-art sound at this location of the popular Edwards Cinemas. Each of its 10 separate theater auditoriums feature new-release films. If there's a movie that your group has been wanting to see, the Kaleidoscope Edwards 10 Theaters will probably be showing it.
For further information about the movies being offered and their showtimes, you may use the following link to view the Edwards Theater's official website.
The younger children in your family will enjoy a trip to the Jump 'n Jammin' indoor playground. Your kids can roam through a large maze of tunnels and mesh, climbing and jumping about. Kids can enter individually, but party groups can also be accommodated. Call the Jump 'n' Jammin' phone number at 949/582-5890 for further information. Or, you may examine the Jump 'n Jammin website, where you'll discover prices, birthday party information, and learn about their Monday and Tuesday day care service...whimsically called "J Care!"
