This place is oriented to upscale shopping. As such, it is always fun to wander, browse, and even sit a spell and watch the kids run through the fountain under the best massing of palms trees in the valley. The Apple store is fabulous, and I like West Elm for trendy, attractive things for the home. Athletes will enjoy the... More

Open shopping concept with small-town appeal. Sidewalks shaded with awnings and beautiful bouginvilla vines. Upscale shops and plenty of restaurants and cafes. A relaxing plaza with fountains and plenty of seating to accommodate shoppers with a place to rest.

This place is even more beautiful in the evening hours. The palm trees are all lit as well as lights strung at intervals over the streets. Magical! Shopping is out of the ordinary, too. Try Happy Hour at Tommy Bahamas where you have a view of the mountains from the 2nd floor. See photo.

Kierland Commons is designed like other mixed use venues like Santana Row in San Jose. There is a good variety of stores and the created streets are very walkable. Mix good shopping with above average restaurants - that is a great combination to keep shoppers in the area.

I just loved the atmosphere, the grassy, tree shaded areas, and the fountains that shoot water up and the little kids love to run in to get wet. So cute to watch. Very nice, mid to upper end shopping, not the everyday stores, so that was nice.

When my wife and I travel, we also like to shop. We stumbled upon this center and we were so surprised. The center is lined with great shops and brand name boutiques with a central fountain and lively restaurants in the center court. The buildings look like they have condos or offices above the retail space and the streets are... More

You won't find much in the way of local shops here, but the do offer a great setting, great food and the stores they do have are fun. The only local place I saw here was The Olive Mill of Queen Creek. I am a big fan of this place. It is well worth the visit. The entire area is... More

Good for an outing in the beautiful February, Arizona Sunshine. Great shops, and to top off all the shopping a Cold Stone Creamery for added enjoyment with indoor or outdoor seating in a beautiful park like setting.

This is truly a lovely place to wander around enjoy the shops and the sun. Take a short stop at the Cold Stone Creamery for an ice cream. The coffee and mint combo to die for. There is a big Barnes and Noble to browse through and have a coffee at Starbucks. No downside.
