There are lot of up sides to the Marketplace. There are a ton of restaurants and shops to spend time at, especially if you are looking to kill time before / after a movie or want a date night! The shops offer a variety of options from clothing to home decor to craft supplies. Same goes for restaurants. You can easily get some cheap eats here at Panda or drop a little more money and eat at Nori or Wolfleys (which are still not pricey options).
Live music is offered every Friday in the main portion and the artists are always different and you can easily find out who is playing on their website. Seasonal offerings can also be found, such as Easter Bunny photos and the like.
The negative here can be the parking lot and busy nature of the plaza. Since they are one of the only major plazas in the area, they are usually really busy and the parking lot can prove difficult to navigate and you may have to park and walk a bit.
Overall: A
Great variety of shops and dining. See a movie and make a date night out of it! Leave yourself time for parking if need to be at something at a certain time!
