Arden Fair

Parking can be bad at times.
Nice Center. Clean and attractive setting.
I try to Christmas shop early, because this Mall can be a Zoo that time of year.

This is one of those, I love that we have the mall when I need it, but I avoid it as much as I can kind of cases. They have a good variety of stores and have done a great job of filling spaces and making sure there are interesting and useful options. While other malls are losing stores and turning into ghost towns this one seems to be thriving.

That brings me to one of the negatives- parking.... I mentally prepare myself for the traffic you hit on Arden as well as the inevitable circling the lot for a spot and dealing with bad parkers or crazy drivers. The last time I was here someone turned right off the main entrance and immediately stopped and put their blinkers on!?!! This is where the main flow of traffic is coming in and they decided to block everyone or have them go around them. crazy...

Once you find parking though you'll be able to enjoy the variety of clothing, gift, homegoods, cosmetics and food options. It can get crowded so I try to plan for slower times to get any mall errands done.

I appreciate that they have the classic mall staples like Bath and Body Works, Hot Topic, Spencers, Macy's, Forever 21 and others I grew up going to and that they have locally owned brands and plenty of food options.

Onit coffee is one of our regular stops, and one of the few things we'll brave parking for outside of a full mall trip. I hope the mall continues to thrive.

Yes favorite place to go to when I get bored! Enough my walking with my Apple Watch and look some new stuff like Hot Topics and Box Lunch favorite shops to go too! The services is get here, managers and crews are super friendly and loved to help the customers! The value isn't that bad, it's the mall price but they have far lots of discounts which I can spend on.

I love shopping here, I also love eating there. There's an upstairs where there's a whole Lotta food and it's so good. But watch out so many stores are expensive.

I like this old school indoor mall. It's got an Apple store and a great food court which is where I usually frequent. The place is clean, modern, safe, and everyone is friendly.

This mall is pretty small and has a great assortment of shops to choose from. The restaurants attached on the outside are one of my favorite features of this place! Definitely recommend!

It's... k.

Got a Macy's that drives most of the shopping.

Got a buncha food places that are good fast-casual.

Got a nice outdoor area that lifts it up.

Got parking.

Good for a hangout with casual friends!

Clean, lots of choices to shop. I felt safe walking around with my husband.
They gave some beautiful Holiday displays

Oh man.....Arden Fair Mall.... Been here a LONG time. My wife and I used to live 1 mile down near Cal Expo when we first moved to Sac in 2000. We loved it cuz we never really had a big mall in Chico. Chico Mall is small. Lol. We used to shop, eat like weekly back in the days. Traffic was always bad. During one Xmas, my wife insisted we go shopping for Xmas gifts. Never again. Some fool stole my parking spot while I was waiting for it. I lost my shit. Won't go into details but I told her I would never drive on any busy weekend/holiday ever again. F**k that. Truth.

Even on a weekday. I would come for free preview screenings and learned fast to drive near Best Buy side near Kinko's or just enter Wyda Way near the back to get to the movies in the back. Same with Sears pickup when that was a thing. Lol. The Mall is very clean. However, riff raff and a shooting by Champs happened back over 10 years ago was a concern. Too many 'hood turds using it was there hangout. Security was beefed up after that and Xmas incidents and it is now better. Food court has some mainstays but mostly just the big ones stay and the smaller eateries change over time. Shops are pretty much that same way. Some mainstays and many smaller ones changed. Only came here recently on the way to find ONIT Yelp Elite Event.

The pics and reviews of this mall don't do it justice. This mall is big, clean, shiny, with great stores. I'm in from out of town and was skeptical about this mall, but it's gorgeous. It even has a GEN Korean BBQ (a fave of mine in LA). Their Christmas decor is very cute and festive.
