"Water Tower Place Shopping"
This is a great mall in the middle of the Chicago downtown area of Michigan Avenue. Michigan Avenue in its self is amazing but to be able to go into a circular mall full of a see through glass elevator to take you to the many different levels is magnificent. The mall has some very high class stores such as the American Girl store which my girls just loved, Macy's, Oakley, Rosette Stone, Coach and many more. The experience here at Water Tower Place is such a unique urban shopping experience that I will never forget this magnificent Mall in the heart of downtown Chicago. The mall dose not offer any areas for the kids to play and is quite small inside on a busy day so I would suggest just keeping them close.

"great shopping"
if you like a variety of shops in one area then this is the place to shop. located downtown Chicago, every one has to visit and make a purchase even if its just something small....you'll love the scene when you first walk in with the water way escalator and the glass elevators, its a sight to see and if you can spend in the great shops. its a great time waiting to be had.

"simply shopping"
Other than being Water Tower Place this is simply an indoor mall. If you have daughters there is American Girl which can get busy on the weekends so just plan accordingly. There is a big glass elevator that can be amusing for kids and escalators all the way up to the top. No real play area and each floor is small so not even a ton of room to run around for kids. Easy place to duck in to if you are walking Michigan Ave in the winter and need a break from the chilly weather.

"Shop In A Beautiful Place"
I recommend shopping at Water Tower Place. It is on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Michigan Avenue is chock full of fantastic stores and you'll find many of them at Water Tower Place. You'll find almost anything you want. There are also many great places to eat and you can catch a movie if your feet need a break. Have fun!

"City shopping"
This is a must for tourists. Think a circular tower of shops. In the center a see through elevator. Our favorite place to eat? The food court. It offers a variety of cuisine and it's just fun to walk through the market and eating area. There's a movie theatre too. A place to rst your feet from all that walking.

"Great place to shop"
The 125 or so stores encircle a central atrium, with lighted glass elevators and crisscrossing escalators to transport shoppers up and down. The original light brick water tower for which the mall was named stands at Michigan Avenue and Pearson Street, across the street. It looks rather puny compared to the skyscrapers that now surround it, but it was one of the few structures that survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, so give it some respect.
