A five-storey fantasyland forms the interior of this seven-lock retail and entertainment complex. Kaleidoscopic colour, abstract shapes, and teasing shadows lead to levels-within-levels where cupolas, gargoyles, and striking views loom at every turn the atmosphere is so festive you may forget you are in a mall.

The various levels house more than 140 stores and restaurants. The top-storey food court dishes up everything form Mexican and Mongolian to corn dogs and gigantic cinnamon rolls. Musicians, flower carts, and outdoor vendors add to the gala atmosphere.

Two obelisks grace the plaza’s northern edge along Broadway Circle. One, set within a seascape, stands before the Westin Hotel. The other, a bright mosaic, marks the foyer of the subterranean Lyceum Theatre.
