Hi everyone... I was hoping to get some help from the Locals... I will be in Chicago (Rosemont area) next week and I have a couple free days with out the hubby and would love for some good shopping...

I have been to Chicago many times and done all the downtown, mag. mile, etc. shopping so im looking for stuff a little outside the city.... are there any good malls, shopping areas, outlets, etc in the suburbs... preferably somewhat close to where ill be in Rosemont area.

 TIA

You arent that far from Oak Brook Center Mall - I would go there.

Or Woodfield Mall.? If you are not used to large malls, it's probably going to be amazing to you. I think about 300 stores and restaurants.

You'll be a short distance from Woodfield Mall, they are touted as being Chicago's largest shopping center with over 300 shops, stores, and restaurants! (I'm partial cause I live in Schaumburg and it's my mall!)

and also if you go to woodfield, you also have a ton of stores across the street on the north, south, and west sides : )

Oak Brook and Old Orchard are great if it is a nice day and you want to be outside.  Woodfield is closer to Rosemont, but is one of the loudest malls I have ever been in.  I also find the setup to be confusing and annoying - it is hard to explain, but the stores are on varying levels throughout the mall.  I often leave without going to every store I planned to hit because it is such a PITA to walk through the mall.

Thanks everyone...

They both look great... The woodfield mall looks like its owned by the same people as my favorite mall here.. so im sure I will love it! : )
