San Tan Village is my favorite mall in the East Valley!
Although there is a mall closer to my home, I find the family-friendly vibe of San Tan Village to be worth the extra drive.
San Tan Village is an outdoor mall with a good mix stores. They play area is a favorite of my children. They offer monthly events aimed at kids and during the holidays they have 'special visitors' (Santa Claus, Easter Bunny).
In addition to the mix of stores, San Tan Village also offers a variety of restaurants - from the in-store Starbucks Cafes to Italian Restaurants and many in-between.
This a place my family and I enjoying going, if not to shop, to just walk around and enjoy.
