We ventured out prior to the cold and freezing temps! We got to just walk around and they decor was gorgeous! They have out did themselves with the amount of decorations! The castle was beautiful but it was very snowy to get to! We miss the skating rink and wish they would bring that back! However, the service at the little hot chocolate booth was phenomenal and they had a selection of drinks! I hope you'll venture out and even grab a movie, shop, and a cocktail! There is a wide range of selection from shopping, eating and walking around! The value will range in where you'd want to go! Enjoy folks-- bundle up as all of it walking and outside.

I was visiting from out of town and I thought I was going to an actual arboretum (you know, a beautiful place where trees and natural landscapes are conserved, like Kew Gardens). I looked all around for a park but there was nothing but a giant shopping mall with a Halloween display on some grass in the middle. If I was a legislator I would litigate against commercial properties using the name "Arboretum" because it's misleading. What if you thought you were going to a Church and it turned out to be an army recruiter?

Nice area for shopping and dinning. Parking lot is not too busy or crowded. Stores here are always changing so you don't know what is new here until you get here. They have live events here year round like live music to Halloween events.

This is a great mall area with lots of parking and great restaurants. They have alot of shows on the outdoor stage which is great on a beautiful day or night.

Love this place and the location. Parking lots could use a little bit of love however. Years ago when my special needs son was still alive, it was fun taking him to Super Car Saturdays!!

This is a beautiful upscale shopping center with lots of cool events and good stores. Sadly a lot of good stores/restaurants are now gone. Tough times for small businesses but there are still some great options.

The Arboretum of South Barrington is a great shopping center. Every time I go there I find something new. I love the variety of restaurants that they have there. Georgio's is one of my favorite pizzerias. Wok N Fire is a great Asian restaurant. Have a sweet tooth? They have taken care of with Smallcakes and Scoops Society. The last time I went, they had a cover band performing for the shoppers. I can't wait to go back and see what I can discover next time.

Classy outdoor mall with a more high-end selection of stores and restaurants. Free outdoor concerts in the summer that are well attended. Parking can be weird, and the roundabouts add to weirdness, but all in all, it's a convenient collection of establishments to spend your hard-earned cash should you desire to do so.

I frequently go to the Panera at the Arboretum, but I also visit other stores. The shopping center has such a warm feeling just to walk through it.

This arboretum is the best! Not only for the shopping and restaurants but plenty of family-friendly fun. We've visited here for multiple events, including the Easter Bunny, a magic show, dancing, and etc. It's always a great time. In the winter, they have a heated tent, too. Most of the events are free and very well out together. We truly enjoy this Arboretum.

Good amount of places to shop. Don't go to Mago Mexican restaurant waste of money for the food you get.
