Reviews of The Arboretum of South Barrington (Mall)

Mike Lovda

Very clean, weekdly summer music

Richard Moeller

Went there for a craft fair. Very small in comparison to other craft fairs. It was hot and probably in it's infancy.

Frank Long

Awesome mall... many stores and restaurants to choose from... Highly recommended!

Jon Goetz

Nice open area of shops and restaurants, though parking gets a little dicey.

Vicki Smith

Nice mall. Good variety of stores. Bit on the pricey side.

D Deneve

The iPic theater is a nice get away for a comfortable dinner or drink before or during the movie. Waiters come to your seat to serve popcorn, food and drinks.

I loved this Area! Haven't been here much, but when I do visit it's always Superb! The atmosphere is amazing!

Paige Bantner

It's very nice and has good food options

Pamela Jacobazzi

Enjoy walking through and seeing different stores.

Lynne Parro

Four of us ate at Ruth's Chris, celebrating a special occasion! Roth's Chris fulfilled ALL of our hopes for a successful celebration!... Each of our meals were fabulous...from appetizers to salads, to steaks and sea bass! Our server was excellent and very experienced! Ruth's Chris makes an outstanding sweet potato casserole that we look forward to ordering every time we go there! And when we call ahead, they can make the sweet potato casserole gluten free. The atmosphere is classy, with low lighting, and very peaceful.

Nice outdoor mall. A lot of the stores are pricey.

Danny Espiritu

Google maps needs to kindly update their directions to Starbucks. Thankfully there was a Panera where the map sent me, so they got my business instead. Other than that, the Arboretum is an Easy going area with plenty of shopping and eating available. Recommended to stay no more than what your feet tell you!

michael lacour

Cooper's hawk is the reason we go...but lots to do and shop.

Daniel Rohe

Lots to be seen. Worthy of your time to shop and/or eat here.

Pawel

Has a nice atmosphere. Like a little town for shopping

Brandon Kain

Stores are closed and place has become a ghost town....dont waiste your time

Mom Ole

Love the wine club at Cooper's hawk. We have a two bottles a month membership and enjoy the monthly free wine tastings. Cooper's hawk wine does not give my husband migraine headaches-ever, so it is worth every penny.

Alexander Amaya

Wow that place is totally awesome

scott field

some good restaurants. some over priced.

Samir Jagad

Good variety of shops and restaurants, hip and high class.

Stip House

So awesome! Did the chunky blanket class. More work than you think, but turned out really cute! Cathi was phenomenal! Want to take a painting class next!

Prajakta Sukhatme

Nicely arranged mall with upscale stores, nails and spa, movie theaters and bowling alley. Several different restaurants with array of cuisines are here. During winter months, they have ice rink too. Beautiful holiday decorations. Parking is ample and fun to stroll around when weather is nicer. Never seen too crowded either. Easy access to I-90 is a plus.

Jeremiah Fernandez

Clean and quiet outdoor mall. Variety of stores as well as places to dine in. Parking is never an issue. Great area to just stroll around.

Alamzaib Rizvi

Great place to be with the family. It is clean. It has good food and a clean place to be. Walking around with the family was a lot of fun

debbie panagopoulos

Poor beer festival. Average beers like corona. Small portions. Poor planning. Would have rather went to the lucky monk and bought $50 in drafts.

Todd Hoger

This place has a so many unique stores you can't get bored shopping there if they don't have it nobody does

Christopher Meerman

The food and the wait staff were outstanding!! Strip steak was done perfectly, the taste of the char sent it over the top. Mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had in a restaraunt!! Mac and cheese was very good. Parmesan encrusted french fries were fantastic!!! 5 stars all around!!!

Martin Cremer

Anyone that enjoys nature will find the arboretum delightful any time of year. I first visited the park on an elementary school field trip and never forgot it. The staff maintain the grounds impeccibaly and are always willing to share their knowledge about the life which grows there. It's a good place to go for solitude or contemplation. It's just as much fun to have a picnic with family & friends.

linda Mirandola

All cool restaurants and shopping. Its a one stop shop for everything.

Pamela Brown

The Arboretum is expanding and is filled with shops to satisfy any pallet. Many good eating establishments to pick from including upscale to stop and grab spots. Plenty of unique shopping. Swim school, IPIC, Painting Boutique and more. Great place to spend the day.....

Daiana Paredes

Gerald Clarke

The Arboretum is a destination you should see. You'll enjoy a fabulous array of stores, restaurants and entertainment. Visit the Arboretum and experience it for yourself. You'll come back again and again! South Barrington got it right when they developed the Arboretum.

Khyla Art

Cool place to hangout and walk around. Several restaurants have happy hour and modern bar lounges.

Mihir Rao

BETTER THAT ALGONQUIN COMMONS.i-PIC THEATRES:yUMMMMMMMMMM

Sunny Sharma

Great restaurants and places great for couples and families. If you are looking to shop I would avoid this area, but if you want to hangout, watch a movie or bowl in an upscale area this is the place for you. The other great thing about the area is that there are always new places popping up.

Orange Xeno

Great place to take a female companion with. A lot of female clothing store. I mean ALOT!!! I can't even think of a guy store on the top my head in that area. It's nice.

John Peacock

Beautiful unenclosed Mall. I don't know much about the stores, but they have some great restaurants!

Diane Blasevich

Georgio's good pizza

Paula Travers

Going to the winter exhibit was breathtaking!

Lilly Berlett

Security guard Fernando, does an excellent job making sure vehicles are all kept safe while you're on the property.

Chuck Pav

Way too many cross streets in the parking area with way too many stop signs. It will get worse if they ever fill all the stores. Quality stores are in here now hope to see more later.

WILLIAM GRECO

Nice clean mall in the burbs.

Gary Downing

A lot of nice shops and good restaurants and a movie theater

Greg Suwanski

A nice assortment of stores. Great variety.

Daniella Moreno

Nice shopping mall nice restaurants around and stores

Cameron Terry

Supercar Saturdays is great

A nice variety of restaurants and upscale shops. Parking provides easy access to stores.

Dennis Hood

Upscale shopping area with a variety of retailers and dining locations. Features Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and two nice furniture stores (Tom's Price and ArHaus). Many other nice shops included. Easily located in the NE corner of 59 and 72. Parking is ample but some of the driving aisles are narrow and twisty.

Katina Jefferson-Toufexis

Very nice vibe.

Christian Hill

A pretty typical shopping center with a few higher end stores.

Vaibhav Pingle

Love this place. Upscale shopping. And ice skating rink during winter.

sue zimmer

Everything you need in 1 place

Karen Morelli

Best area for shopping

scott menke

Company dinner, food OK, but even though we had a separate room, very LOUD!

Rafael s

Love this place so far very welcoming and beautiful.

Pamjohn87@sbcglobal.net Schaefer

We ate at the Hampton Social Club and it was awesome. The service was great, food terrific and the place is very very cool. A lot of white that makes it feel very open and very East Coast. We ate at the bar, lots of seating there and pretty much every where in the restaurant.

Kyle Meng

Very expensive, very fancy

Judy Kinal

Had dinner at Pinstripes and enjoyed every minute. Love the dollar glass of wine.

Lillian

Very beautiful and walkable outdoor mall.

St. Rebel

Plenty of choices to shop for quality clothing, shoes and dining options.

Alan Scott

What a great variety of stores and restaurants here. Ruth's Chris is always my favorite. You can also bowl and play bocce here as well. L.L. Bean store has everything you need for the great outdoors.

Becca Payne

Great place to hang out and shop for while!

Brian Cannella

Went to Supercar Saturday. Unbelievable! Just about any exotic car you can think of. Can't wait for the next one!

Mike Stelzner

Pretty place..but confusing to get around and parking can be terrible near the top places.

Leo Jerman

This place is not really set up right at all. The parking lot is so confusing and convoluted which makes a busy place that much more congested. The most busy places in the shopping center are all jammed in the same area up near Higgins so good luck finding a parking spot on Friday or Saturday night. This place really should think about reconfiguring the parking situation to better accommodate the traffic and parking needs of the area.

Yolanda Harris

Not enough parking here on busy times.

Michael Sung

Huge outdoor with plenty of choices for food, shopping, and entertainment. There are also changing stations for electric vehicles. There is also a smaller mall adjacent to this place that has a Claim Jumper restaurant with a gluten sensitive menu.

Mayra Murphy

Visited the Santa house for photos with Santa! Most of the staff was nice while some appeared miserable to be working there. Santa was nice but didn’t really know how to hold babies...my 4 month old was so uncomfortable

Nicole M

We came to Ruth Chris for my boyfriend's birthday. We had a great dinner and a pleasant experience. We love the calamari and the lamb chops.

Benjamin Klahn

Driving in this place is incredibly confusing. The GPS had trouble finding stores everything is on top of everything else. Almost got into at least two accidents because the traffic direction is so poor.

Sam Volkert

Excellent, clean environment.

Mohsin Ali

Great ambience and excellent food. Staff is really friendly too.

Therese Kortas

I work there

Manish Patel

Ice rink was cool but other than that it’s suburbia so enjoy the space with rich Barrington folks.

Jim Petykowski

This is an outdoor shopping mall on the corner of Route 59 and Route 72. There are many stores from single units to larger box stores. It is an upscale mall that has a nice decor. They have plenty of parking for everyone who wants to come and shop here.

Christine Steichmann

Great place to shop. It's layout is charming. There are also lots of dining options.

Kram Nosretep

High quality everything minus 1 star for that Barrington attitude

J Evans

Nice place to visit even in the cold weather.

Roger That

A very upscale outdoor shopping and dining mall near the Jane Adams tollway. Easy to get to from all directions. A number of up scale dining places such as Ruth's Chris and Mago's. Also has a PinStripes and movie theaters for entertainment. In the summer they host some good concerts. The photo is of Seventh Heaven playing in the center of the mall.

Cheryl Kaufman

Lots of nice shops and restaurants

ken barkdoll

Coopers Hawk and Marshall Home Store

David Berkowitz

It's a pretty and well maintained space. But I think you would only come here for a specific purpose to visit a specific store or restaurant. The layout doesn't make the shopping center a destination.

aquababi

Best place for a childs cut

Darrin Logan

What can I say wow great location great stores easy to get to.

SS B33

Beautiful. Love the new scene with the lounge chairs and fireplace.

Dares !!!!!!!!!

Chris Gorog

Great dinner at Cooper's hawk

Lorrie Vargas

lovEDC love love it

R Durai

Great car shows

Barbara Gosse

Love The Arboretum. It's such a convenient place for some upscale shopping in the 'burbs. And, when you need a bite to eat, there are numerous casual and better restaurants. I love walking from store to store as opposed to being stuck in a climate controlled mall.

Rick Hogan

Nice outdoor mall with a good variety of excellent restaurants. Especially enjoy Georgio's Pizza and Ruth's Chris Steak House

gerhard richter

Just went to the CVS to pick up some things on Saturday. Turns out the store was closing down on Monday April 1st Too bad...good selection and location.

NXS Racing

Selection of stores is abundant!

Doug Robinson

Had a good lunch with a friend

Michael Balon

Always a good place to shop. This time we stopped at LLBean and picked up a great deal off the sale shirt rack for my wife. How can you pass up LLBean t-shirt for $15 dollars?

Sree Ganesh

Variety of restaurents for a good family weekend.

Brittany Jorgensen

Nice shopping area with some great restaurants. Cute outdoor ice rink during the holidays. They should keep it up all season.

Arthur Aleszczyk

A very nice outside mall. They have stores for kids and adults. A great mix of restaurants and coffee shops. The Arboretum is also decorated very nice for Christmas and they have a ice skating ring towards the middle of complex. I took my mom here that was visiting from Florida and she loved all the stores and decorations.

Michael Koszuta

Make sure to check out Cooper's Hawk!

John Diaz

It's very nice I have a lot of stores

Amazing shopping center with super car Saturdays and other fun events

John Lilianstrom

Went to movie theater Sunday. Facilities are first class with first class seating and food service next to none. Very pricey but worth the time if you want to get spoiled.

shilpa gauba

Always a pleasure trip to this upscale mall. Great choices for food, furniture, pet care, eye care, attire, etc.

Go Jo

Good outdoor mall or giant plaza. Safe lots of stores. Good traffic pattern to get in and out of the mall. Lots of parking a few restaurants both small and big but it's more stores. They had a scavenger hunt one year which was interesting. They spend money to keep the place looking good.

Allie woodard

The Arboretum is a great little shopping place! Neat stores and tons of fantastic restaurants!

Colton Fournier

The shops here primarily aren’t my cup of tea, but the place is very well designed

Carrie Wolotowsky

Nice selection of stores

Sherri

The ambiance is nice. Drinks are too expensive. Not very busy on a Saturday night at 7:00 but waitress acted flustered and overwhelmed. I'd hate to see how she was when they were busy.

Richard Spears

We visit Cooper's Hawk often.... Great food and wine!

Mustak Alam

This is an outdoor shopping mall on the corner of Route 59 and Route 72. There are many stores from single units to larger box stores. It is an upscale mall that has a nice decor. They have plenty of parking for everyone who wants to come and shop here.
