In the heart of the city center in Santa Rosa, California sits the Santa Rosa Plaza, a big covered mall that for decades has been the main shopping spot for the region. Our team at CaliOrb prepared this interactive directory map for help to shoppers easily find their way and quickly reach what they search for. This removes the need to guess during the exploring of the center and you can plan your purchases before even arriving.
How to most quickly find a store? Use the search bar that sits in the upper left-hand corner of the map. Type in the name, and it will appear right away.
If you prefer to simply look around and see what is available then scroll through the various categories, and that will work great. Want a clearer view? Simply move the mouse over the map and zoom directly in.
How To Use This Santa Rosa Plaza Directory Map
Zoom buttons show below to the right on the screen, together with an option for full screen, if you need even more space.
The mall has two floors, marked LL and UL… And you can easily switch between them by tapping on those labels up to the right. So you know where a store is before even walking through the doors.
And if you click on any store marker, you get the details: what it sells, its exact spot in the center, everything clearly.
Here two important anchor stores hold everything. Macy’s and Forever 21; but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Next to those big names, there are more then a hundred shops and food courts that spread everywhere.
As the biggest mall in the Sonoma area, Santa Rosa Plaza clearly leads the shopping world in this part of California. Placed right between Courthouse Square and Railroad Square, it stands in the center of the city heart for every visitor in Santa Rosa.
When the doors first opened in the start of the 1980s, the Simon Property Group took the management, and they led everything since then. Interesting fact here: Santa Rosa actually has two covered malls. The second is Coddingtown Mall, that sits more north, past the road.
So if you want to shop inside, the region takes care of you on that front.
Walk through the doors, and you will see some known names: Apple, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret, Pandora, Ulta Beauty, Kay Jewelers and Aerie. Everything here. Hungry?
At Charleys Philly Steaks in the food court you can eat. Also, several brands have outlets or factory spots in the mall, for instance T.J. Maxx Outlet, Guess Factory, Clarks, Michael Kors and Burberry, and you can browse them directly through the website of Simon, if you prefer online access.
EV charging stations stand on the property, which really helps if you drive an electric car. Getting here without your own car is also easy, the Santa Rosa CityBus stop is right across the street on Second Street, so a simple bus ride is enough.
The mall itself acts as the main shopping spot in the Sonoma area, and not without reason. Here you find retailers that simply do not exist anywhere else in the North of the Bay Area. Quick fact: in the mid 80s, the mall appeared in the film Smooth Talk, a short moment, but the actors walked right here.
Even so, the retail world does not stay still. Stores move around. The Apple Store went to Montgomery Village, and GameStop took its place.
That is simply the way malls work today. Despite those changes, there are still solid stores, food spots and great places to visit. Macy’s stays the lasting force thatkeeps everything together as the anchor store.
The Simon Property Group launched a phone app that really is useful for planning a trip to shop. It helps to find stores, food choices and fun spots, and includes maps, discounts, event lists and even tracking of gift card balances on the way. Great to have it on your phone while you walk around.
Santa Rosa Plaza received the Travelers’ Choice prize from TripAdvisor, the kind of honor that goes to places with steady good reviews and high ranks. Being in wine country in California does not hurt. Add a shopping afternoon with wine tasting nearby, and you have quite a good day for yourself.
This interactive directory map shows what really is hear now, but because the retail world changes, updates will come soon. Save this page in your bookmarks, so that you can check the latest the next time you head to the mall.
