A large outdoor mall with high-end department stores: Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Dillards, and Macy's; retail stores such as Anthropologie, Apple Store, and Nartjie Kids; and many restaurants. Outdoor features include a pleasant walking path, children's play area, outdoor eating facilities, and a water path.
On a hot day in August, we walked the plant and water lined path from Neiman Marcus, through the mall, all the way to ZTejas on the eastern end. It was beautiful and hot.
Despite the careful planning for a meandering path that encourages relaxation and enjoyment while shopping, I couldn't help but think how frustrated I might be to be pushing a stroller with my other kids because the path is not very wide, and I encountered many series of steps. I'm sure that there were ramps that ran parallel to the steps, but finding those paths and maneuvering the path could prove to be difficult.
We really enjoyed our shopping time at The Shops at La Cantera and found the store selection very exciting and the food options delicious.
Bottom line: This is a great place to enjoy some time shopping with or without children. The outdoor seating, paths and shade invite relaxation and enjoyment.
