Irvine Spectrum is located off the exit where the 405 and the 5 freeway meets. There are stores to go shopping, there are restaurants, and there is a huge theater with IMAX viewing. The problem with Irvine Spectrum is parking. With severe renovation that is going on at the moment, parking has become far worse. Expect to park far away and expect to walk far if you're planning on going to the theater.
