We love taking our kids to Dessert Ridge Marketplace, especially in the summertime! All you parents out there know exactly what I'm talking about...We bring their swim suits and favorite buckets and they run around in the water coming up out of the ground while mom and dad sit in cushy chairs with pom trees and umbrella's covering tus from the sun! In the winter time, we can chill by the huge fireplace and enjoy our Starbucks!
At night time and weekends they usually have live music on a mini stage by the water and a Big stage in front of a big screen down by the other end.
They don't have very many stores inside the marketplace that I like to shop except for the Children's Place. They do have a Fun toy store where the kids can go and try out the toys and play for free, that's cool for us, but my kids always find a way to get a new toy everytime...
They also have AMC Theater in there, Islands, paradise bakery, a pizza place and a few other goodie shops!
