While out with my family, we decided to stop by Westfield Old Orchard, since it was such a beautiful day out. It's been over a decade since I've been to this mall so I was very excited to return. Thankfully, the parking garage was right next to the mall, so it was a short walk to the entrance. The outdoor mall was extremely clean and absolutely beautiful. We browsed in and out of a few different stores and everyone was very nice and attentive. The one store that caught our attention was Laderach, which was a Swiss chocolate store. We were able to sample truffles and chocolate bars and it was probably the best tasting chocolate we've ever had. We also stopped in to Coach and I ended up buying my daughter a cute, Coach bag. With stores like Zara, Fabletics, Alo, Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom, you truly get a great, shopping experience at this mall; there's something here for everyone. There's also ample seating as well. If you're in the Chicagoland area, this is definitely the mall to visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

Does this mall still charge an extra 1% sales tax for retail (totaling 11.25%) and 2% for prepared food/restaurants (totaling 13.25%), added in 2022 just so the mall can use the money for "upgrades"? Yeah, they do, and customers are still waiting for a better shopping experience, Westfield. Not that they're lowering merchants' rent any, but still...I don't purchase anything super expensive here because of the added Eff-U tax. I still enjoy visiting because the retail mix is great--good restaurants, a nice mix of clothing retailers, and clean open spaces. read more

Decent mall with plenty of stores and restaurants. A lot of the stores are high end and expensive. It is an outdoor mall so dress appropriately for the Illinois weather. Many of the stores have friendly staff working. There is a decent amount of parking around the mall. read more

Westfield Old Orchard is my favorite mall in the world! I have many wonderful memories of this mall, its great stores and restaurants, and its beautiful architecture and landscaped layout. The Macy's is one of my favorite Macy's, and the Starbuck's at the Macy's is one of my favorite Starbuck's. The mall has a wonderful atmosphere, and I love coming here to shop and to just sit and enjoy the day at the fountain and the sitting areas. Skokie is an awesome town, and is one of my favorite Chicago suburbs! Westfield Old Orchard is served by many different CTA and Pace bus routes, and this excellent and abundant transportation service is immensely convenient to patrons such as myself. I am from Chicago. Westfield Old Orchard mall has brought joy and happiness to me and to several generations of my family. Thank you to Westfield Old Orchard and its many stores and staff members for being a wonderful part of the Skokie and Chicagoland communities. I look forward to many more visits with you all. God bless. read more

Not sure if this place is renovating or just gave up on itself. Not many options... lots of construction.

Going to Westfield mall is always a good time. They have a ton of stores to shop at. Whenever I go, I always feel as if I am out of state shopping somewhere. It's my favorite outdoor mall. They also have plenty of dining restaurants to visit after a long day of shopping. I love the common area where there is seating snd the pond with coy fish. What a nice added touch. read more

Being an outdoor mall expect that the parking is going to be difficult on good weather days. The mall seems to turn over a lot of stores, but it does seem to be improving it's retail and restaurant choices. There are a lot of high end stores, and a lot of stores that are up and coming (ex. Vuori, Fabletics, ALO) that don't have any other easy to get to Northwest Suburban locations. So the selection is definitely there. The service needs to be judged separately for each of store. However the additional 1% mall tax on an already high tax area is what is contributing to the lower rating. You can generally find similar stores at other Northwest Illinois shopping areas and you may already get a 5% savings due to lower overall taxes. read more

WESTFIELD MALLS - I have always been a fan of Westfield and this was no different! Amazing outdoor mall that pretty much has everything you need! They have great parking and a variety of stores and it's a relaxing atmosphere because you are in the suburbs! They keep it clean and updated! Worth every moment !! read more

Originally, I had thought that this was your run of the mill suburban mall. However, to my shock it presents itself like a suburban outlets. The stores are separated by beautiful paths with ample sitting room to just enjoy the day. When we went, it was a bright and sunny day and it was nice to meander around the mall. There was a beautiful umbrella art installation that made for a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't visit during the cold winter months, but I'd definitely come back during the spring. read more

With a similar setup to Oakbrook Center, I love the look, feel, and selection available at this shopping center. In recent years, I've been quite impressed with how many more upscale options that are available here. Bar Siena, Roka Akor, The Hampton Social, and Molly's Cupcakes are some of the great dining options available here now with The Capital Grille coming soon as well. On the mid-end there's Shake Shack, Pie Five Pizza, Potbellys, Uncle Julio's Maggiano's, Nando's Peri-Peri, The Cheesecake Factory, and other restaurants available. Though the majority of the shops are fashion centered, there's still other great options for things to do like CMX Luxury Cinema for movies, The Apple Store for Tech, Blank Mason Candle Bar for a fun candle experience, Barnes & Noble for Books, and Crate & Barrel to get all your top quality home goods. Overall, with a mix of everything from luxury retailers down to places to get a good bargain (on nice items), there's something for everyone at Old Orchard. read more

Wow, it was such a fun night! I still can't believe that I had won the tickets to go to this Craft Cocktail Festival! It was held in the Westfield Mall in Old Orchard by the cube! I checked in with my guest and we received a punch card with 10 punches for our craft cocktails, a black bracelet to put on our wrists and one raffle ticket for the drawings!There were plenty of cocktails that you can choose from, after you order your drink, you give them the punch card and some vendors didn't even care if you had one or not! There's also a few food vendors like Frontera fresco, Cacao 70, Roka, Nando's, Corner Bakery and Nude Dude Food! These food vendors gave us a small sample to taste and provided menus so you can go to their place! There was the Hampton Rooftop too, I had a chance to go up to the restaurant rooftop and just to check it out, it's right across from Macy's! The Organic Gardener was there too, since they had a huge garden full of flowers, herbs and vegetables right there next to the cube, we got to make a card with dry flowers, it was pretty cool! If you have kids, they have a program for them every Friday at 11:30 until Halloween! So go and check it out! The best part was seeing two chefs (Chef Paul Caravelli and Chef Levatino Harris) competing! They both had one hour to make their dish and everyone get to try it and vote for their favorite chef! At the end of the festival, they had a drawing for 7 huge baskets from different stores, you have to be present to win of course! Thank you again for a very fun evening! read more

Tons of great shops though not a lot of restaurants and bars. Parking can be challenging.

I LOVE this shopping center! Coming from downtown Chicago, this shopping experience was so relaxing. Everything was spacious and comfortable. I did not experience a tight squeeze anywhere. Walking from store to store was aesthetically pleasing. Beautifully paved walkways were wide and winding. It was so easy to access the storefronts and the larger departments stores were nicely spread apart. The Koi Pond looks great in all seasons. Right now it is decorated for Christmas with a nice tree and huge ornaments. Parking options are super easy. Street level parking on the east side allows easy access. There is also a parking structure on that side. On the west side there are several levels of parking all along the shopping center. All parking is complimentary which is always nice. So many traditional stores are represented at this mall. But there are also many specialty and designer shops as well. The Nespresso store had everything I needed which was fantastic. I also stopped into Bath & Body Works to buy tons of hand soap and candles. There are a great variety of restaurants to choose from when you want to take a break from shopping or if you want to visit specifically for dining. There are casual, smaller spots and larger places too. Hampton Social even has a rooftop! Sip 22 Coffee Lounge is super convenient for a quick coffee. They offer tasty crepes as well. Overall, I found Old Orchard Shopping Center to be easily accessible with plenty of stores to choose from. The staff that assisted me at various stores were all very professional and personable. I highly recommend visiting for so many reasons. read more

Great place for shopping, movies, eating and relaxing outdoors if weather permits. Family friendly.

Looking for things to do during Covid we decided to take a ride to Skokie Illinois today. And, I am sure glad we did! This Hass to be one of my favorite malls in the Midwest. Water fountains, vegetation, wide variety of boutiques and excellent restaurants. What more is there to want? I am so glad they added water to one of the fountains as I've always imagined how much more beautiful it would be with running water. The pond with the coy fish is also a classy touch. Nespresso boutique? They've got it Bloomingdale's? It's there. Sur La Tab awesome since we lost ours in town due to the virus. read more

Dating back to the 1950s, this is one of the oldest shopping malls in the Chicago area. And the country. Nevertheless, over the years, this mall has found a way to reinvent itself, and remain current and relevant, by expansion and renovation. With about 140 stores, most major chain retailers can be found here; including anchors like Macy's, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. This is really a one stop mall, among the amenities includes: Movie theaters, hair salons. Sit down restaurants, optometrists, and a medical center. They don't have the average food court, with the generic fare found in most malls; instead, restaurants are sprinkled like pixie dust throughout the mall. Off the street and garage parking is plentiful, and surround the mall, which makes it convenient when you are just visiting a particular store. But what I like the most is that this an outdoor mall, where promenade style corridors are decorated with gardens, art, playgrounds and changing exhibits or occasional art fairs. I particularly enjoy it during the Christmas season; the holiday decorations, the Christmas lights, people rushing from store to store; it's magic! read more

I love this mall, it has almost any store you can think of plus places to eat. They even have an area called the cube where you can relax, stay warm and charge your phone. This mall is amazing and I love visiting it every chance I get. They have a Sephora, Nordstrom's, Tiffany & Co, almost any store you can imagine is here. Every employee I have come across here has been extremely helpful and courteous. This is a great mall for families with children as well as single adults looking to get out and have some fun. Defintely check this mall out if you're ever in the area, you won't regret it. read more

The food here is excellent and the service is usually very good. The reason for the 3 star review is the frequent diner program. I dine here frequently and save my points up for my birthday every year do we can ho and use the points for our dinner on my day. But this time, they tell me that I can't use my points on a Saturday. What good are the points if I can't use them when I want. I've earned the points and it shouldn't matter when i use them. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in this. I feel this is a very bad policy and terrible customer service. If this is their policy, they should make it clear, not some small print that I still haven't been able to find. I was not happy with my visit. read more

DO NOT take photos with the Easter bunny at this mall! It's a scam. They sent me home with a USB with NO pictures in it. When I called and asked what happened they sent me an email with an extremely blurry photo! The worst!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Outdoor mall that's always adding the latest and more popular shops. Dog friendly for the most part since it is outside. 2 update movie theaters, small areas for the kids to play and restaurants with patios. This place has it all. They used to have a VR arena but unfortunately they closed. Still they have pretty much everything you could be looking for in onw spot read more

It's summer summer summertime when the Monday night car show comes to town. Finally the weather was beyond amazing and we made it out so my hubby could revisit his past and celebrate muscle car madness. What a great collection of cars...I was impressed! I'm not much of a muscle car fanatic, but these cars were pretty, fabulously loud, and I love the smell of a revved up engine. Food trucks onsite, so we grabbed tacos at Riobamba (separate taco review to come) and Jester Juice lemonade. Live music, raffle prizes, and just a super chill time. Each week has a different car theme. Can't wait to go back. read more

I went to the food court here and bought some food to eat. There are a lot of people and there are only a few vacant tables and chairs to sit in. I bought a slice of cheesecake, pasta, chicken burger, milktea, bottle water and chocolate muffle. I put my books on my table so no one sits there. Cheese was totally lit. It was soft, cheesy and sweet. I like it. I can't get enough of it. Pasta was cooked nicely. It was saucy and it had a great taste. Chicken burger was also good. The chicken was juicy and a little bit crunchy. The bun was not oily so it did a good job. I bought milk tea and it tastes sweet since I ordered Taro milk tea. I choose 100% sugar level. Chocolate muffle was my favorite. It was soft and also chocolatey. I love it. Overall I enjoy eating the food. read more

I seriously love this mall so much. I don't even love all of the stores here, but I personally love the area, the decoration, the idea of it being outdoors, and the aesthetic. This seems to be a more upscale mall, and it is gorgeous, especially during the holiday season when they put a beautiful light-up Christmas tree near Forever 21. I have been coming here since I was young, but because it is not the closest mall to me, I do not come here as often as I would love to. The mall has some great stores, specifically Lush, Clark Street Sports, Free People, Nordstrom, Macy's, Timberland, North Face; this mall also has some pretty good restaurants (like Uncle Julio's, though they normally have terrible service). The mall is decently-sized and there are some cool amenities, such as a movie theater in here, as well as a place where you can take cooking classes. They have plenty of parking here, though sometimes it gets confusing with some of the parking garages, so I normally try to find parking near Uncle Julio's or Buffalo Wild Wings. read more

I invited my friend out to chill and we went to Westfield Old Orchard. When I arrive it's too crowded because it's already afternoon. After a couple of minutes he arrived. She was with her daughter because her husband was at work. There is a food stall outside and a table for dining. We ordered some pork and chicken tacos, jester juice, bread, pasta and salad. While waiting in our order her daughter enjoyed playing in the kids play area. They also have a train ride for kids and big legos. While her daughter was enjoying it, we went to a stall that sold different kinds of flowers and plants. It's near the kids play area so we still keep an eye on her child. The flowers are fresh and well taken care of. They also have some herbs. It's already night but the atmosphere was peaceful. They have a huge Christmas tree and the trees there were full of light. It's perfect for a date. We enjoyed it a lot and her daughter was so happy and enjoyed it. I highly recommend this mall. read more
