I really enjoy this mall. There is a great selection of stores and very up to date public areas. I would say they should update the bathrooms but otherwise great. The main fountain has a great vibe with the repurpose to be a huge planter (see pic I submitted). Lots of fresh shops for eating and the parking garages on each side of the mall make it really easy to access the shops you desire quickly without long walks from a huge parking lot.
This mall is fine if youre a stay at home mom with no professional job. Dont come here if you need clothing or shoes for corporate America. Its like they cater to stay at home wives/moms or spoiled daughters with no real job. Cant shop here because they literally dont carry items for working women. Its sad and it sucks.
Very impressive Mall. Ive not been to this mall in over 20 years since I now live in Indiana. Nice array of stores. Great shopping destination. Very friendly mall and store staff personnel. Easy access via public transportation. Indeed, I used public transportation to get to this mall from Indiana.
A really pleasant place to walk about. the stores are kinda upscale, so I mostly just window shop, but its always a good time. in recent years, whenever I go, the place has been a tad empty -- maybe theyve fallen on hard times. if true, I really hope they can recover. also RIP the food court with the giant apple on top that closed ~15 years ago.
What a lovely outdoor mall! There is plenty of parking and a fabulous selection of stores with some heavy weight anchor stores. The selection of restaurants is also a real treat. We love visiting this mall if we want to avoid downtown! I do wish they have some heated areas to catch some warmth during the colder days. Still an excellent mall to shop and enjoy a day at!!
We came here to buy new clothes and shoes for my baby. Shes getting bigger and bigger day by day. And her shoes, sandals and clothes do not fit anymore to her. My grandma will take care of our baby as of now while we buy her new clothes. We came here early to get home early. We buy our first sandals and shoes here. It looks cute to her and perfectly fits her since my wife knows her size. Then we went to the selection of clothes for kids to buy dresses, shirts and blouses. We bought a lot with a different design. It is also cute to her. Then we buy a skirt, shorts and pants. We choose cute and cool designs. By 3 pm we came home and we bought everything we needed for our baby.
Been to this Chicago north suburb shopping center for a few times over the last couple years. Love the LL Bean store there, which could be the closest one to downtown Chicago. There are many other fine shops and department stores such as Macys and Bloomingdales to choose from. Something special was I just went back from the inaugural Taste of Korea Chicago over the weekend, which was held at the west parking lot next to Bloomingdales. This is likely to continue and become an annual event.
Over the years my family has shopped at Old Orchard hundreds of times: Apple, Macys, William Sonoma, Crate And Barrel, Bloomingdales all come to mind. BUT NO MORE: you now pay an extra tax to shop or dine there. And that money is funneled back to Westfield, the mall management company. So now instead of the already expensive 10.25% tax on merchandise, you pay 11.25%. For restaurants, the numbers climb to 13.25%. No friggin way: this place is dead to us.
A Beautiful shopping center filled with all upmarket brands and good eateries in too. If you are thinking of good times with friends and family its good place to hangout. Kids have fun in the play areas. There are some great spots to do photoshoots too. There is much to explore at the rooftop dining place. Have fun and best shopping experience with lower prices.
I love old orchard in the summer. It is great for wandering “the cube” is a great place for introverts to destress from the crowds and there are tents like a farmers market for non perishables throughout on weekends. Little grassy areas make it a place to be and the new theater sounds great. In the winter rosemont fashion outlets.
Lots of really good stores, restaurants, and loads of parking space. Stores are close to each other. All kinds of stores for clothing, house items, etc. They observe covid19 cleaning practices, like cleaning after customers at the till. Security is also good as they had cops on site. Definitely visit.
Its a nice open shopping mall. Great in summer time when you can just walk around while shopping. It offers a wide variety of shopping options with Apple store, Barnes & Noble, Crate & Barrel, Lord & Taylor, Macys, Nordstorm, Forever 21 being some of the major stores. And when you are done shopping you also have great options to eat out like Cheese Cake factory, Nandos, Potbelly and others. CMX cinemas also just recently opened in Old Orchard. It has plenty of parking all around but on weekends its hard to find a spot. Overall a great place to spend your day.
Despite the loss of major anchor department stores at other malls, Old Orchard seems to be holding onto its Nordstrom and Macys tenants. It has a good variety of other stores. I was particularly impressed by the number active outdoor merchandise options. There is a multiplex movie house and numerous restaurants.
I LOVE Old Orchard Mall to such an extent!! , ..Not just the Great Shops, ..But All the Decorations are so Gorgeous!!!!... in case you are on a Festive Spirit Mood or on the other hand assuming you need to be on it ,...You Cant Miss it!!.. also, interestingly, its FREE!! :) they have a Fire place 🔥..and drinking fountains ⛲️ ....plus all the Christmas trees 🎄 ..Hanukkah adornment and where you can snap a Photo with the Grinch !!!!..and obviously every one of the stores, 🛍🎁I resembled WOW! They did an extraordinary job⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!
I love all the updating they have done to Old Orchard. The outdoor spaces are so nice for kids and adults. Theyve addes some great food options as well. The stores are nice and there are several high end options like Henry Bendel and Bloomingdales, as well as your basic standarss like Gap and Macys. I love coming here with the kids because I can shop and also take them to the outdoor park. And to top it off we can get cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory!
Checked out Macys Clearance.We found Great deals.Tops as low as 9.99 and a very sharp dark denim dress for under 15.00 dollars.I did buy a couple of items not on their sale racks.I figure with with all my savings,I could pick out a special outfit with the extra cash.Well worth it!
Old Orchard Mall is a nice place to hang out with family and friends. Theres your usual assortment of upper-scale shops which cater to all age ranges. The CMX theater is the highlight because it completely changes the experience. Its ruined all other theaters for me. Sorry AMC!However, Im heartbroken over Barnes and Nobles closing down Its location at Old Orchard Mall. It was my home base while the family sauntered around the mall, my calm in the storm. Living across from the mall I can see B&N from my window and it was heartwarming to know it was there. No more. Sigh! Old Orchard Mall suits...you need to reassess your priorities.
I went to Nordstrom to return an item there were seven to eight people in front of me I waited in the line patiently. as soon as I got to the cash register I was relieved my turn!The cashier said its time for me to go home she signed out, and proceeded to walk away. My husband asked her to please just check us out you just did another ladies return the front of us and it didnt take no time we only have one item. She said oh Im sorry but I have to go and we ask to speak to her manager so she walked over to another checkout area oh, she whispered something in the ladys ear walked away. We waited for this lady and she had three people in front of us as she proceeded to take care of our transaction she apologized she had good customer skills and she took care of us right away and we left I was so disappointed. I was hurt. I felt like I was profiled.
Its a great place to go for shopping and walk. Great variety of shops ,(prices medium to high) Always clean, there is a pond with koy fish, playground for kids and a big variety of restaurants. Coffee shops including Starbucks, etc. A great place to spend a hole afternoon.
Prejudice white folk everywhere. The store me and my son went in sold baseball caps and jerseys. When entered there was a white chick standing behind the counter, she did not greet us, but ten minutes later a white couple comes in and she greeted them so loud I said something, I told her wow 😲 we didnt get that greeting when we walked in. She claimed she did but she didnt, so, I wont go there anymore.
Clean and lots of parking to access by preferred stores.Outdoor mall safe and patrolled with interesting higher end retailers for the most part. I went there for Doctors appointments in Professional building. Easy underground parking steps away from the office. Also good place to walk for exercise from one end of the mall to the other--- with costly diversions that could slow you down.
This is one of the best malls that I visited in a long time. They have a great selection of stores, both luxury and average. When the weather is right you can walk around for hours and then grab something great to eat at the many restaurant facilities that they have.
Great outdoor mall with plenty of shopping options. Very clean and well-maintained outdoor area. Lots of lights and seating areas. Food and drink available if you need to grab a quick bite. The common areas are so beautifully decorated. Highly recommended spot for holiday shopping.
We had our Christmas party there this year and I must say that was the most boring Christmas party I ever been to the food was cold it was a Marcianos they had table cloth covering the tables and if you lift up the table cloth it was raggedy tables that were hiding up under the tablecloth so I think it was a real rip off and they had it at the lower level in the basement of the restaurant and it was cold down there too
This is my favorite outdoor shopping center based solely on my preferences. Its not horrendously big. I can walk around, window shop and get some exercise. There have been many changes over the years so its kind of a mystery coming here. I never know what store has closed and what has opened in its place. Its an interesting place to people watch if thats your thing.
I really enjoy this mall, especially because its outdoors..Our last visit was October,2020;during the pandemic,it seemed like too many stores were closed,but I understand. Ill go back when things go back to normal. I love the great food choices,there is something for everyone there,If I could change anything, Id add more outdoor seating
There was a torrential downpour and we had nowhere to go. There was a fair going on and it was disastrous. Everyone was soaked everybodys merchandise was soaked it was just a bad day for the fair. But overall Westfield Old orchard Mall is a great mall and it does deserve ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ instead of ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This shopping center never disappoints, even on a mild winter evening. The center has a great variety of restaurants and shops, something for everyone! Its clean and well maintained. Great parking! Easy to get to from interstate. Plus, even though the mall is outside, there are covered areas in most of the center for inclement weather.
This is the second time I have come to this outdoor mall and it was a warm day. It was a bit tough to navigate even with the maps and it would be a little difficult to truly enjoy during the winter months, but it has a great collection of stores and options for shopping. The koi ponds are fun, though it could have done a bit better on maintaining the mask policy. However, it was a fun time
The pictures are from Cheesecake Factory.. There was a bit of wait since it was a Sunday and around lunch time. The avocado eggroll appetizer was pretty good, Bellagio chicken was good also 😋 and the steak taco.. of course the tiramisu slice and their bread with butter on the side before serving everything else... everything are divine!!!
Outdoor mall with plenty of retail stores and restaurants to pick from either for a light snack or a complete meal. Theres plenty of play places where you can take the kids for a much needed shopping break. Security roams the mall as well as local local police to keep the place safe. Seasonal decorations and events are much enjoyable. Ample parking and easily accessed via public transportation. This place is definitely family oriented and pet friendly.
I have always loved old orchard because it was a great place to take the kids and get some shopping done. However, they closed the play area due to covid and although everything else is reopened without restrictions, they have kept this part closed. I have called several times and no one is able to give any updates what’s so ever. I can’t bring my kids there as they will nag me to go to the play area which is impossible. I’m frustrated that is seems they are using covid as the excuse to keep it closed and at the same time, offering no information as to if or when they will open it. Makes moms like me unable to go. I would not write this review if it wasn’t for the fact that the higher ups are not communicating anything about this and there seemingly is no way to find out.
Great outdoor mall with large variety of stores appealing to many shoppers interests, tastes, and pocketbooks. Interesting variety of restaurants thrown in, plus movies and you can stay all day and into the evening if you have the time and the stamina! Go on, take a walk from Nordstroms to Bloomingdales--end to end with lots of fun in between...and a good longish walk for an outdoor mall!
Great outdoor mall for an outing with friends or family. Always clean and has outdoor greenery, fountains, and seating. Lots of restaurants (both adult and family friendly), shops, and 2 VR entertainment centers. While the mall is big which might be confusing, there are plenty of directories to help you find your way.
I love this small. I have so many fond memories from when I was younger to that of being an adult. Great place to walk around regardless of the weather. So many shops and things to do oh, its fun for the whole family. The food is fantastic and always choices abound. I only review the best of the best. Dont think about it, just go visit this outdoor mall. Trust me, itll be the best decision you made in a long time. Share and like.
I like this place. Not as crowded as most malls. Because it is outdoors it is more pleasant to walk around. It is pretty upscale and does not have many of the mall attractions that teens flock to do it is more civilized. Stores are more for show than for real needs (many are overpriced chains) but it makes for nice window shopping. The keep it up pretty well too. Its even nice in the winter because its nice to walk around when it is cold and walk into a nice store then walk around more.

2022-07-03I love this Shopping Center. It has a great variety of stores and eateries to choose from, don’t forget the movie theaters. Always clean and well maintained, plenty of outdoor seating with tables when you need to take that well deserved break from shopping til you drop. The Gold Fish pond is a big hit with both adults and children. The fountain located near “The Cheesecake Factory” (one of the most outstanding restaurants in the area) is so relaxing, you could fall asleep listening to the water cascading over and over. Finally, my favorite is the beautiful flowers that Westfield chooses to plant for our visual pleasure. So, bring yourself to this shopping center to enjoy shopping and what Mother Nature has to offer.

2021-09-21Up-scale mall. We all know how’s Westfield mall are this one same like quite, good restaurants, good people, numerous shops and great Insta structures. It’s a open mall shop so if you are not inside the shop you will be out of roof and we all know how’s Chicago winter is so make sure to plan according of you don’t want to frizzing in cold 🥶. But all over one of the best shopping mall in Chicago

2022-06-09Malls are struggling, but Old Orchard seems to be chugging along just fine. I enjoy going here. Great store lineup, good restaurant selection, and a nice place to visit when the weather is nice. Plus, they now have a donut shop thats killer good. It was pretty busy when I was here over the weekend.

2022-04-23My friend and I went to this shopping center yesterday. Shes with her daughter and I came with my son. We only used one car so it would not be a hassle to drive and park. We took so long to park our car since there was no space in their parking lot. We just waited for about 15 minutes before one car left. After we park our car we get out of the car. Our kids were so excited since there is a play area outside. We came here in the afternoon so we expected that there would be a lot of people here. At first we planned to eat first but our kids wanted to play.There are restaurants near the play area. We will choose a restaurant that has a dining area outside so we can have a view of our kids who played. After an hour, we went to a restaurant and ate our orders. Our kids did not enjoy the food in the restaurant but they enjoyed playing in the play area.

2022-04-13Premier mall in the Chicagoland area. It continues to evolve and thrive while other malls are shutting down. Good variety of stores and food options. Also great just to hang out and enjoy some fresh air.

2022-06-15I heal my inner teenager by going to the mall. Stop throwing coins in the Koi pond. Review your Lush receipt carefully. I was overcharged $70. Be prepared to have security at one store or another to treat you like a criminal. Still fun, though.
