Let Your Family’s
Culinary Adventure Begin!

Culinary Adventures: Kids Eat Free is a summer dining promotion from Irvine Company Retail Properties, running May 31 through August 27, 2026, that offers one free kids’ meal with the purchase of a qualifying adult entrée at participating restaurants across Orange County.

The program is built around family discovery, encouraging parents to explore diverse cuisines together at restaurants located inside Irvine Company retail centers. All offers are accessed digitally through the free Retail Therapy app or website, and are valid Sunday through Thursday throughout the program window.

For most participating restaurants, a child must be 12 years of age or younger to qualify for the free kids’ meal and must order from the designated kids’ menu.

However, age limits can vary by establishment. For example, Bloomingdale’s 59th & Lex Cafe, Veggie Grill by Next Level, and Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill require children to be 10 and under.

Please check individual restaurant offer details and confirm with your server at the time of ordering.

For most participating restaurants, Kids Eat Free offers are valid Sunday through Thursday ONLY.
