If you haven't yet discovered the Arlington Highlands Mall then you are in for a real treat. The place is packed with great merchants, great restaurants, and a great movie theatre (Studio Movie Grill). Better yet, Phase II of the Highlands is underway. To see some of these new attractions, check this page, Announced New Attractions.
This outside, lifestyle mall is one of our favorite places, especially for my granddaughter and I. It has everything we like. A PetsMart, a Borders Book Store, and a Cold Stone Creamery. But mainly, it's the wonderful water feature that keeps drawing us back again and again.
For trips to the Highlands, our routine is set. First, we visit the PetsMart, spending a little time with every single creature.
Then its to the water feature. There, our hours pass too quickly. And, we are never alone. People love this water setting. It is peace amidst the storm. So peaceful, it is where a man walks his dog, children play, ladies dangle their feet in the water, and I brush up on my long forgotten yo-yo skills.
Next, comes Borders. Now, it is time to get down to some serious shopping. And, they just happen to have a very nice kid's section, too. When our work is done, it is time for a reward - a nice stroll down to the Cold Stone Creamery. Naturally, we (and everyone else) enjoy our ice cream while sitting on one of the benches that line the water feature.
Another short stroll and we are in the car headed to our next great adventure. With slight alteration, you can turn our routine into a strolling dinner and movie (at the same place), ice cream, and water feature date with your significant other.
It is a really nice place to be busy and unwind all at the same time. You can locate the Highlands on my Major Area Attractions map.
