How have I lived in the desert for nearly a year and never been to Arizona Mills!?!? It's magical! AZ Mills is a discount mall that's full of wicked nice bargains. Some of my faves are Burlington Coat Factory, Ross and Marshall's.
There's a pretty decent food court in the middle of the mall and even a carousal if you want to ride a horsey.
It can fill up with high school kids on the weekends, however. Avoid the obnoxiousness and go during the day when they're in school. Oh and be careful about taking in credit cards......this mall has everything you could possibly want!
