What a nice place

By Dan Y |

Southlands is a wonderfully thought out center. Not crowded, lots of open space. Pleasant place to go.

Handicapped

By Brian G |

Went to the movies today. Took a friend from out of town. Lost his leg a few months ago. We took two spots so he could get of of car and into wheel chair. Coming out of the movie, the car was vandalized and notes left all over it saying,,never mind. You would think these losers would have seen the crutches in the car. Last time I saw a movie here my pickup was totaled from a tornado, now I go and the fine young adults in our society try and mess up a car that a wheel chair bound man need to drive home in. I hope your as proud of yourself as my one legged friend is for overcoming obstacles. I would really like to call you the same names that you left on the car, but I don't think this would get posted.

Southlands Summer Concerts

By Alona M |

Perfect place to shop, eat, people watch & enjoy music. There’s plenty of restaurants to choose from. The atmosphere is great, clean & beautiful environment , I love this mall

Once struggling but now this place is the place to be!

By Prevail904 |

Ive been here quite a few times, they have turned this place around. Food on point now. Entertainment is there, very family friendly, movie nights, concert nights and now they have a pretty cool electric bike store called Pedego. Close to the Airport, come check it out. Beautiful

Saturday Fun

By bkbkm |

We went there on a Saturday in July. There is a farmers/artisian market on Saturdays in the summer. It was great. Many amazing vendors. The greatest part was the little splash park for toddlers. It was nice to sit and watch the kids play in the water while eating yogurt!

Great for kids

By crmartinez |

Southlands is beautiful. The winter Christmas themed Norman Rockwell display is AMAZING. A must see for everyone that appreciates art. The ice rink is a little pricey, but cool. I could sit by the fire pit all night just people watching.

Nice place to walk around

By B B |

This is a nice outside mall. Big fire pit to sit around, an ice rink in the winter, small but nice selection of places to eat or grab a snack. Good farmer's market in the summer with some of the best sweet corn around.

Shopping, movies, playground

By Christina A |

Such a nice area with tons of shopping and restaurants, the movie theater is really cool!! The theater is dine in with a good menu and there is a full bar. There is a nice outdoor play area and a firepit

Bar Louie

By Jody M |

Southlands is fantastic. However, the Bar Louie location here is nothing short of absolute garbage. Slow service- rude management. Go anywhere else
To eat or be served, just do NOt got to Bar Louie.

Great place to shop!!!

By Renata R |

A variety of places to shop and eat. Good food and good times!!! Fat burger is excellent for family!!!! Love the movie theatre and a variety of stores for clothing.

Southlands Shopping has it all

By jredmond1974 |

Southlands shopping area is a perfect blend of shopping and eating. There are restaurants like Old Chicago, Ted Montana's steak house, Mt. Fuji hibachi, Tokyo Joes, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Jim N Nicks barbecue, and PF Changs and then there are fast food options as well. Good Time burgers, Five Guys, Del Taco, KFC, Long John Silver, to name a few. I actually used this shopping area as the focal point for finding a place to live because I enjoyed everything this place has to offer. I visit regularly to see a movie at the remodeled AMC movie theater that offers a full menu and bar. Whether you are in need of updating a wardrobe, celebrating a family members birthday with a special dinner or date night with your significant other....Southlands can satisfy your needs.

Dry Dock rocks!

By Mary S |

Dry Dock is the perfect place to meet friends, make new ones & tip some awesome brews. Their vanilla porter rivals & beats many of their competitors. Enjoy specialty brews until the ship sails.

Great hangout for the family

By Tanya F |

Southlands is a great outdoor shopping mall that is surrounded by restaurants. It has something for everyone. Painting, a movie theater and even a skating rink in the wintertime and a farmers market in the summer months.

Old Fashion Main Street

By Roger P |

I would not characterize Southlands as a "typical outdoor shopping area". It is fashioned after an old town street of retail stores with a town square at the end of Main Street. This includes the movie theater and an ice rink in the winter and water feature and concerts in the summer. Several good restaurants and shops and recent ER additions. The summer farmers market is very popular.

seeing family

By judys2392 |

There is a Fairfield Inn on the property that we have stayed in, Nice hotel with complimentary breakfast. The mall has many restaurants to choose from, lots of shops and even a movie theater.

Nice walking and restaurants

By awalker73 |

I enjoy the outdoor concept and they have some great stores and restaurants. It's a nice walk when the weather is good. They have concerts in the summer, skating and carolers in the winter. It's a fun place for couples, families or by yourself.

One of our favorite outdoor malls

By TSMertz |

A fantastic place to eat, drink, shop and just hang out. Wide variety of dining and shopping. The fire pit area is a nice touch and we all enjoy the winter ice skating.

Great upscale outdoor mall

By parkerspence |

Outdoor mall with every store you could ever need, from Sams Club to Pennys to Bed Bath and Beyond to over a dozen different restaurants.
Upscale and well done mall.

Great Shopping

By Nbty |

I have lives in the area for 10 years great shopping and good food. Parking can get a little crazy at times and to many teenagers on the weekends but that is understandable not many places to hang out in the area. So Walmart seems to be the hang out for the little ones. Southlands does a farmers market in the summer. And sets up a ice skating ring in the winter. They also have a huge fire pit that's going year around that's kinda cool. Nevertheless a nice place to take the family......

Great Place on a Beautiful Sunny Day

By TCB |

This is a great outdoor mall that has a little of everything! It has a theatre, lots of cafes and restaurants, clothing stores, a Barnes and Noble, and specialty shops. It is a fantastic place to go on a beautiful day to grab some ice cream or a coffee and just wander around.

Saturday visit

By Randy P |

Walked around watched kids in water and ate at Ted’s and Fitzsimons CU. The steak house and Japanese hibachi are good. The spice store and the oil an vinegar shop is great

Plenty of good, and diverse, restaurants, great shopping, free summer concerts!

By MT1 |

We live literally a mile from Southlands Mall so go there frequently to shop or eat. It has a great movie theater, tons of places to eat (Ted's MT grill, Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, Monsoon of India, PF Chang's, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Five Guys, Old Chicago, and on and on), the TruFit gym, and lots of shopping. There is also a nice, though small, farmer's market on Saturdays in the summer.

I'm really writing this since we made our first trip to attend one of the summer concert series events that are held on Thurs nights at 6:00pm. We drove over to the mall just about 10 minutes prior to the concert, parked in the large lot by the TruFit gym and took our lawn chairs out to the open area right by the movie theater, Old Chicago and Ted's MT grill. There were lots of people there but we had no trouble finding a place to put our chairs. Lots of people had coolers and chairs and blankets and there was a booth for Old Chicago set up selling pizza. There were lots of kids running around and having a great time. The band we saw was Forever in Blue Jeans (Neal Diamond songs) and they were pretty good. The band played from 6-8 pm and only took about a 10-15 minute break around 7:00pm. The sound system was good, it was a great night outside and we had a great time.

While Southlands doesn't offer some of the more upscale stuff that Park Meadows does, I think it is a great Mall with a lot to offer.

Great outdoor mall

By Pam B |

Southlands is close to where I live so I go there often. I love the outdoor feel of the mall and variety of stores to shop at.

Outdoor mall

By MeraKi25 |

This center is like other similar ones. The stores have external entrances, but there are so many in the location that it seems like an outdoor mall. Favs like TJ Maxx are here and there are some ok restaurants as well.

Like a great neighborhood shopping area.

By Ruth L |

Large area covering many blocks of retail stores, restaurants, services, Walmart, Sam's Club, fine restaurants, family restaurants, and drive-through restaurants. Fun to walk around and window shop. Parking near the main shops can be hard to find on weekends and some afternoons, especially in nice weather. There is plenty of parking overall, but you may have to walk a few blocks if you have a specific destination. I tend to go for a specific purchase, not to wander, so I'm in and out in less than an hour. My Verizon Store is there, so that is a frequent stop. There is a nearby Best Buy, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Pets are allowed outdoors, but most businesses don't want dogs in the stores unless they're service animals.

Love the summer concerts and the community

By Netgoddess |

Even though it is about 30 minutes from my home, we love to attend a few of the summer concerts that are held in the courtyard. The music groups are fun. It's nice to meet new people. And the restaurants nearby have great food for a picnic during the concert.

Celebration!

By Marla Healy |

We love to go to restaurants at Southlands! Lots to choose from! We particularly like to go to PF Chang’s! We love to eat in the Bar. The bartenders taker great care of us and I appreciate the fresh gluten free entree choices. The fire pits , the sidewalk music, the ice skating rink in the winter, fountains to play in in summer all spell FUN! It kind of reminds you of being in a mountain town!

Southlands Mall year round

By mountainair2018 |

Our family has visited this mall several times over the last 10 years. Great outdoor mall for all ages. Wintertime has ice skating, summer time has out door farmer's markets, live bands, out door water play areas for children, dine-in movie theater, book store, craft store, large market chains, great dining experiences, clothing stores, even it's own hotel if you want a nice place to stay outside of the Denver downtown congestion.

By JaniceM659 |

This was my first time here & I absolutely loved it....all kinds of places to shop & eat...they even have a cupcake store. Great place to go for all ages.

A nice diversion for those in the area

By ColoradoTraveler2go |

South lands is just your typical outdoor shopping area. Parking is reasonable but can be hectic at times. There are plenty of restaurants and a movie theater. Shops are varied, some you expect to see and a few you do not. Prices are typical and the people are friendly. There is an ice skating rink in the winter and a little water park in the summer. Try Ted's Montana Grill.

Excellent shopping experience.

By DazzleCat99 |

This is a great place to go shopping. There are a lot of new stores As well as events during the summertime. On Friday nights during the summer they have bands come and play and the admission is free. There are a lot of great restaurants that serve a variety of food with a price range that could meet any budget. There are a lot of great places to sit throughout the street as well as shops that you can window shop from. If you're looking for a place that would fit any budget for shopping and entertainment I would recommend this place.

Lovely, fun city center

By misskk2014 |

The landscaping and music make this a special place. Also, all summer long many people are out enjoying the large splash pad and free concerts

Southlands

By Gene B |

A little bit of everything all in one place. Lots of well lit parking. Plenty of restaurant's and lots of shopping.

Just out and abojt

By Rachel C |

I loved going to southlands. We live close to here so it's nice to just find a spot to park and shop everything! I wish there were more stores but it has a very good amount of quality stores in the mall! I can't wait till winter to see if we really can ice skate!

Great Place!

By Sonie V |

Complete Shopping center, have Walmart, Theaters, Restaurants, Clothes Stores, all you need to have a great day!

Good shopping experiences

By lilian c |

This place has all sorts of shops, ranging from bargain to very pricey. There is a movie theatre and many restaurants. The restaurants also vary in price point. It also has a skating rink and very nice landscaping. However, many of the stores are way too far out to walk to, given the large parking spaces.

Great outdoor mall

By srosene |

Good variety, nicely kept. Enjoyed the art and music also. And the movie theater here is the best in town.

basic

By Roving54257932341 |

its an outdoor mall. filled with typical corporate big brands. you maybe find a outdoor foodie that maybe new, but honestly, if you didn't come here, i don't think you would miss it. its mostly for parents of small kids.

Southlands

By Dena H |

Great place to shop and enjoy the outdoors. You can window shop too! They have a free concert on Thursday nights starting at 6:00 with dancing. It's a lot of fun.

Something for everyone

By Mike Hanahan |

So many options for food and shopping! We love going to the Southlands for dinner because there is every kind of food option from fast food to fine dining. If you're in a shopping mood there is also something for everyone. It is basically a giant strip mall but clean and classy. Parking can be a little tricky if you want to park super close to a specific shop/restaurant but if you don't mind walking a block or two there are plenty of options for parking. Fun place to spend an afternoon!

a part of the weekend no matter what!

By Scott T |

Very family friendly place to walk, eat, catch a movie, shop etc...We especially like the Farmers Market during the summer. Small, but good to visit.

Great places to shop

By Cyndy1950 |

This out door mall has the feeling of being in a small town. During the summer months they have a farmer's market every Saturday. During the winter month they have an ice skating rink in front of the movie theater.summer also brings concerts every Thursday. The holidays are delightful with all the lights. Enjoy sitting around the fire pit to warm up and music playing through speakers (nicely hidden) for everyone's enjoyment.

Great outdoor Mall - Has everything!

By Joyandy5215 |

Southlands is a great experience for young and old - many stores and small shops - restaurants, bars, movie theater, medical care, ice skating ring in the winter, fountains for the kids to enjoy in the summer, carriage rides for Christmas, the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, what more could you want? I work there, shop there and it is beautifully maintained just southeast of Aurora at Smoky Hill Road and E-470 .It even has its own hotel.

Check Out AMC Theater

By azpuppypaws |

Love, love, love the remodeled theater with the fully reclining seats and new lay out of the seating! Watching movies are so much better now and is like watching movie at home in comfort. The new menu is more upscale and pricey but they deliver it right to your seat. Seats are reserved, you are best to buy your tickets online and pick out where you would like to sit and not risk getting there in event there is no seating. Give them a try and enjoy your movie experience in total comfort of no more sitting behind you and kicking your chair!

By MtnMomFive |

We love Southland's! The stores meet our family's wide variety of shopping needs! Family fun activities are planned throughout the year! The mall is always clean, the staff are friendly and bet of all, shopping here, supports our school! Thank you Southland's for truly being a part of our community!

Fun and food

By Rose L |

Love the Southlands Mall experience. We have attended the Christmas Parade, tree lighting, and just fun shopping days. There are many places to eat after all your shopping is done. Most everything one would need can be found in the blocks surrounding Southlands. You will not be disappointed.

Best Outdoor Mall in the Denver Area + Welcome to SE Aurora

By Albert C |

This is my home shopping mall. The area is very clean and more than enough parking. There are many small retailer shops (Eddie Bauer, Yankee Candle types) to the mega retailers (Best Buy, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Walmart, Sam's Club, JC Penney, etc.), restaurants, fast food establishments and a Movie Complex. The summers have outdoor concerts at the plaza with a large assortment of music. Come out, see and enjoy it.

great mall, something for everyone!

By fourseastravelco |

I love the upbeat vibe at this mzll. there is something for everyone. I enjoy the farmers market and family friendly events. the theater is really nice, with good food items. the mall has a good variety of restaurants to choose from.

Modern and trendy shopping fun.

By BCAgustin |

We were surprised at the number of stores that this outdoor mall have. We were equally impressed by the farmers market.

Loads of fun!

By cnelsch14 |

Southlands mall has a wide range of clothing name brand stores for teens and adults alike! With a new theatre to sit back and lounge in while watching that movie you've been waiting to see, to eating and drinking whatever you want to eat at all the restraints there! And Southlands is especially fun during the holiday to go and buy that gift your significant other has always wanted! And what other way to spend a date there than to skate through the night and holding hands with that new crush of yours! If you haven't already been there, go now!

Great Day Trip

By Gary R |

Southlands is a place where you can park your car and then shop, bank, eat and go to a movie without moving your car again. It's an appealing place for everyone. They have just about every shop to fit someone's needs from Walmart to the Savory Spice. Its well lit and safe. There is a town square for the kids to play and an outdoor fire pit with chairs for you to just sit and relax.

Skopping at Southlands

By bill823 |

This is an excellent place to get almost of your needs, well laid out with ample parking wherever you need to go, an incredible choice of stores and diners, It is my favorite place to go for all my needs.

Great mall. Great location

By Michael P |

Mall is located right off e470 and smokey hill rd. all the stores and amenities your little heart could desire. Personally, I like mccabs Irish pub. Great atmosphere and beer.

Decent outdoor mall with AMC and good food options

By nmk97 |

Southlands is a decent outdoor mall with good shopping and very decent food options for those in the area. Directory lists the current stores and food options but our favorites here are the AMC Dine-In Theatre, Bad Daddy's, Monsoon, H&M, Barnes and Noble, and hopefully soon Buffalo Wild Wings?! In the summer, they have outdoor concerts and in the winter, an ice rink. It can get busy at those times but still not busy enough you can't find parking or enjoy yourself.

Long wait for food

By UsTwoCO |

Surprisingly, we were seated right away on a Saturday night close to 6:00. A server came and took our happy hour drink order right away. The food server came and took our order for one hamburger to share (we weren't that hungry). We waited for our order to come. Meanwhile a table of 4 adults and 4 small children were seated across the aisle from us. It took a while to get 2 of the kids in high chairs. Their order was taken, and was delivered to their table. We still did not get our one hamburger. Our server finally noticed we hadn't been served yet and checked on our order. It seems the time she was gone again was enough time to get a hamburger cooked and delivered. The plates they were delivered on were very hot, so they may have been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. We were waiting and waiting for our bill and someone told us we had to pay using this "Ziosk"l. We weren't asked upon being seated if we were familiar with this method of payment (we weren't). It wasn't working properly and you'd try to input your information and the letters or numbers wouldn't display. Also, it was sticky from other people using it. Yuck., A suggestion would be that as the table is being wiped off, wipe off the Ziosk. However, the hamburger was good, so it wasn't totally a bad experience. Never again, though.

By Bringstheeagle |

We visit Southlands shopping center four or five times a month some times for shopping as there are numerous shops and stores. We like the Southlands AMC theater most and see most of our movies at that location. It's an outdoor mall which is basically not our cup of tea - but okay in summer. We also like the farmers market there in summer. If in the area it's definitely worth a stop for shopping, a Resturant, or a movie or perhaps all three.

Good variety of shops and restaurants

By denver60 |

This outdoor shopping area is spread out over a rather large area and contains something for just about every taste. I come here often as it is so close to home. I particularly enjoy the Farmer's Market during the warm months.

By melissa h |

I love all the stores and how friendly each of the staff members are. The lights strung above the walkway and street really make it a fun place to shop.

EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT IN ONE PLACE!

By Marshal M |

I live nearby and go to Southlands often. My last visit included a spa appointment at Massage Envy (wonderful) followed by a quick stop at the Cookie Store to pick up snacks before going to the Cinema for an afternoon movie. What a relaxing day-- all in on wonderful area. And I could have even stopped for groceries had I need them. This area is so nice to shop, dine, whatever a to z. In the summer there are famer's markets and relaxing fountains. Ice skating rink in thw winter. SO NICE!

What an Amazing Place

By Dwayne A |

First time going to this mall, and boy were we pleasantly surprised, This mall had practically anything you needed, or wanted to buy. Great food court, and every store we went into had service with a smile, and great staff.

More than just shopping

By Alec H |

Southlands is a very nice outdoor selection of stores. It is the next evolution in strip malls. There is a very wide selection of stores. They run the gamut from Wal-Mart to Lens Crafters. They have an AMC movie theater. During the summer they have open air concerts. The parking ain't the greatest for the open air concerts, but they have a wide variety of bands that perform. There are several restaurants that vary from the Olive Garden to barbecue, to fast food. There is truly something for everyone.

Variety is the Spice of Life

By MrsDeasy |

That is what you will find here. Creative and interesting shops, usual and unusual restaurants, movie theaters, so many places to see.
A favorite is he Wine Experience, great restaurant, super owners and workers, very creative foods and a wine store in the restaurant. Give it a try.
You can do all kinds of things here, ice skating in the winter, walk the streets, visit, eat, drink, shop.

Southlands

By JCPGEP |

This is a cozy mall and shops!!! The mall is not so spread out as to be inaccessible and it still has all of the shops that we like!!! WE love it!!!

Very good

By gypsymonica |

Southland consists of stores that are not under a covered mall. There are many stores and you can do all your shopping at Southlands. It is pleasant and fun to shop there. Places to sit outside and clean and beautiful in summer and at Christmas. I really enjoy the restaurants, movie theater, shops, and walking around.

My favorite

By westball2 |

I visit Southlands every two weeks
Beautiful stores and restaurants
Lots of activity,music in the summer
Always celebrating for holidays ..
I take all my friends shopping and for lunch
Sams club and Walmart just across from each other
easy shopping ::

Have just about everything!!!

By LaCoqui222 |

This has been one of my favorite places when I visit Denver. They have a HUGE variety of restaurants, Coffee places, shopping. I don’t have to go looking for different things all over Denver. This is close to my Regular Hotel so I don’t need to go far. Awesome!!

Shopping, movies, and dinner!

By @csosa |

This place has it all! What a great place to come and enjoy a little of everything. During the winter they even have a skate rink!

Awesome place to shop and eat!

By Kamm L |

There are tons of great places to shop for all ages, guys and girls. No matter what kind of food you like your bound to find a place to eat at Southlands. They have yummy places for sweet treats too! I shop at Southlands several times a month for clothes, home goods and goodies "just for me". They have a wonderful movie theatre and currently an outdoor ice skating rink. In the summer they have great farmer's markets and outdoor concerts.

Southlands Shopping

By Linda M |

This mall has a lot of good restaurants, fun stores and the plaza area in front of the theater is a nice place to sit and relax and let the kids run through the fountains.

Good collection of stores in large outdoor mall

By Douglas W |

This "Neighborhood" outdoor mall has a large assortment of the usual suspects such as Walmart, Sam's, TJ Maxx, Eddie Bauer, etc. I would rate it as better than average. Lots of restaurants, a movie theatre. Best large shopping center in Southeast Aurora.

Love Southlands

By Kahlua888 |

I like being able to drive up the business I want to enter. There is so much at Southlands. You can meet all your needs there.

Good Food & Shopping

By aurorabill |

This outdoor has something for everyone. Good Food, Food Stores, good entertainment. In the winter there is ice skating in the summer music at 6 PM.

Go and enjoy

Just Another Mall

By kyle_morin |

Southlands is like any other outdoor outlet mall. It has a diverse array of shops for one to choose from. If you are looking for a leisurely day of shopping, I would highly suggest Southlands. But honestly, at the end of the day, my title describes Southlands best, it is just another mall. The area features many of the same shops you can find in other trendy malls.

Shopping

By Natnael F |

Not great selection of shops but definitely a nice place to walk around on a summer evening, good number of restaurants to choose from as well

We love ice skating in the winter and fountains in the summer!

By Jennwp |

We spend a lot of time at Southlands. Between the shopping, the theater, the ice skating, the fountains and the farmers market, there is a little something for everyone! Very family friendly!

Great shopping,

By Maps214611 |

Southlands Mall has great stores, and restaurants, plenty of parking spaces for everyone.. Mall provides relaxing and leisurely shopping and dining experience.

Lazy Dog restaurant

By westball2 |

New Restaurant in Southlands
Very impressed,the place was very busy on a Tuesday
Food very good ,great service.
Definitely will go back

Outdoor Mall

By Lee45900 |

Main Street became a very walkable mall with shopping, restaurants, pubs, book stores, bike rentals, and more. A dine-in movie theater anchors one end of the mall. Go for a movie in one of 16 theaters and go eat and shop.

Great Place to Watch A Movie with the Kids on a Rainy Day

By Chad H |

The theater at the Southlands was top-notch, expensive as usual, but it was clean and well attended. The rest of the mall looked great, except that it was raining so we didn't do any shopping.

Southeast shopping

By jazzerdance |

The Southlands area is very convenient for those that live east of E470. There are several restaurants to choose from. However, the shopping is nothing to be excited about. There are very few shops anymore and what is in them is average.

Variety and charm

By Nancy_D695 |

I spend a lot of time over at Southlands...between all the good restaurants and the large variety of stores, most my needs are met. The farmers market, concerts and water play area in the summer are great hits. My favorite store is the Savory Spice shop...great fun and addictive. The only disappointment I have is the theater which has changed to the food and recliner type.

Great food and fun

By diannf680 |

Southlands is a field trip, not just a shopping trip. Take time to shop or window shop along Main Street, and then make the decision to dine. There are numerous restaurants including Buffalo Wild Wings and Ted's Montana Grill. Pick up a schedule of events so you don't miss the free summer concerts or the weekend farmer's market.

Good Shopping!

By Brynn B |

Always fun to walk around Southlands! We love it!!! Great stores...wish there was more unique restaurants, but there's a good selection. :)

Outdoor Mall with some Options

By joeulv |

We love this place as its only a couple miles away and we sometimes walk there in decent weather. Besides the standard shopping selection, there are a wide variety of perimeter stores with more coming in the near future (Forest Trace development). Has a "Main Street " environment with a lot of services in addition to shopping and restaurants.

Love love this place

By reetee50 |

This is a fun place to go. The landscaping is beautiful. Outdoor music. Fountains for kids to play in. Concerts on Friday night. Farmers Market on Saturdays. Great place to walk and shop. Can do everything in one place.

By Srogerio |

I'm so glad we have Southlands near us for shopping and dining and a place to take the family.
Whether its day or night the atmosphere at Southlands is great. The kids love the water features in the summer and the ice skating in the winter.
Love the music piped in throught the walk and the lights on at night add a fun touch.

Shopping at Pennys

By E1779NLcharlottem |

Nice store laid out nicely
Good selection of shoes & kid sizes. A little difficult to find petite sizes for women but once found good shopping

Southlands has what we need...

By Whateveryousaydear03 |

We needed several different gift cards for various aged relatives and we were able to get them all at Southlands. I still don't really care for an outdoor mall in Colorado but Southlands attracts most of the stores we need.

Great Shopping & Dining Experiences for All

By CJWerner |

There are tons of great shops to suite just about every age group here. Dining places are of various levels from fast food to gourmet dining. The center of the mall has an arena for ice skating which is for all skill levels (and age groups), in the summer they have a vairety of entertainment including weekly concerts from local bands and movie nights just for an example. The only drawback I saw was finding close-in parking when it gets a bit cold to walk very far for elderly people, otherwise a nice walk from one of the adjacent parking lots is great exercise.

SOUTHLANDS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT AND RELAX

By tinadudley2017 |

I enjoy southlands, great food, people are kind, bars are great. Movie theater is a little pricey but 5 star rating.

Great Outdoor Shopping Center

By grd24girl |

We came here 2 times for the Movies. the theater is super clean and the food was pretty good too. We had a chicken wrap, which was super fresh and a grilled panini sandwich loaded with meat. It was nice to go in and select your seat and then not have to rush inside. They bring your food to you! There is also a full bar and places to sit in the lobby. The bathrooms are clean and they have this combo faucet that has the water and a hand dryer all in one!

Best Little Outdoor mall in Denver

By 409JohnnyO |

Okay so its not in Denver, just off Smoky Hill and 470. Southlands has just about everything you might need and they keep it unbelievably clean. Great mixture of large and small business, several very good restaurants and AMC theatre. Traffic is never bad, plenty of convenient parking, and just about everything you might need.

Fun Place

By cesannbot |

Shopping, Dining, and Entertainment. You need to go here. Just make sure in the summer months its in the morning. Storms tend to form in the afternoon and evening around here.

Great place to shop - Outdoor Mall

By Sandra V |

I like the variety of stores at Southlands. It pretty much one stop shopping. The only store I think they are lacking is a Hobby Lobby!

Our Favorite Shopping Center

By DotComMomm |

Great place to go if the weather is nice, since it is an outdoor mall. They have a nice firepit and skating rink during the winter. And outdoor concerts during the summer. Little known fact, sign up for their emails and during your birth month they will give a $10 gift card for FREE!

a new discovery.

By hiplains |

I live on the eastern plains and I didn't even know about this place. I don't even have to go into town to shop. This place has everything. There was a farmer's market the day we went. That was fun. I bought some large avocados for $1 each. I will be back when I can spend more time here. If it's closer to me then the Springs or Pueblo, this will be my new shopping trip.

Tired of Aurora mall and Stapleton???? GO HERE!

A good variety of stores, we drive from DIA area here because Aurora Mall is terrible and Stapleton is going downhill too. LOTS of restaurants too. Watch out for traffic cameras.

Shopping and water fun

By Pizzaatthemall |

Ate at Ted's, went shopping and the granddaughter had a great time playing in the center court water fountains.

Shopping galore

By World-wander-woman |

This is conveniently located off E -470 & Smokey Hill Road. Easy off and easy on to E-470. Tons of shopping, restaurants, movie theater. Nice places to sit and people watch. There are several water fountain where kids cool off in the summer. Great place to shop and eat and just walk around

Fun day of shopping

By Kat J |

We spent a good six hours at Southlands, shopping the Main Street as well as the surrounding box stores. We stopped for lunch and later in the afternoon a snack and a cocktail. Lots of options for shopping, eating and drinking. Was a $40 round trip Uber ride from our hotel, totally worth it,

Observer

Would have been better if you would hire someone who could have the sidewalks clear of snow. Yes it does snow in Aurora.. It was 130 in the afternoon and the sidewalks were still impassable. I saw the entrance to the offices was clean.

Great outdoor mall

By Wyldecamp |

I love heading to Southlands Mall every time of year. During the summer they have a weekend farmers market in the main square, in the wintertime they have outdoor iceskating and events all year long. Lots of great shops, restaurants and movie theater. They have fire pits along the mall that add warmth and atmosphere. They also have music coming from speakers along the sidewalks that adds a nice touch.

Fantastic outdoor shopping area

By LynnieC29 |

Reminds me of town centre shopping in the uk. A large selection of retail shops, restaurants, cinema and ice rink in the winter with plenty of parking.

Great shopping area in Aurora!

By ariesmac |

Southlands is a great shopping area with loads of shops and places to eat! It is in a great, easily accessible area near the tollway. It has a large AMC theater and plenty of places to park so you can walk around the square. It has a Farmer’s Market on Saturday, concerts on Thursdays, ice skating in the winter and loads of other stuff to do!

Great little mall

By Ajustice7 |

Great little mall with a tucked away feel. Small town quaint feel with enough desirable shops to make me happy. The outdoor rink in winter was my southern friends kiddos first encounter with ice shaking.

Love this place

By reetee50 |

This place is the best thing happening in Aurora. Great open air mall with a small downtown flair. So much going on all year. Fountains, concerts, movies, farmers market in summer. Ice skating, lighting and great restaurants in winter. Just love love this place. Lots of great shopping options too.

Love this outdoor mall!

By Judiirich |

Great shops, both national chains and small independent stores co-exist. On a sunny day, I like nothing better than strolling down Main Street, seeing what's new

First time wine walk was disappointing

By Michelle M |

We've gone to the wine walk every time since it started, but this one was not a good experience. In the past there's always been a mix of reds and whites and sweets and dry. This year everything was dry. My SIL and I lean towards the sweeter side, and not a single one was sweet. We've liked it in the past because we could try wines we usually wouldn't buy and have been surprised to find some we liked. This year was disappointing. In addition lines were long because some booths had only 1 person working whereas in the past there's been at least 2.

Not Like It Was

By Adele H |

I used to love going to Southlands, but not so much anymore. So many of the shops I frequented have closed (many due to hike in rent) and that just has soured me on visiting as often. What used to be a fun time walking along Main Street and shopping has now become frustrating when I think of what it once was.

Nice atmosphere!

By Michelle L |

I actually miss the malls where everything is in one place and it is easy to walk from store to store...but if you are going to visit Southlands Mall area, you couldn't pick a better spot. Lots of food areas to choose from and many different types of stores!

Many stores in a very beautiful layout

By luisrU9229EH |

Always have had a very good experience dealing with the store workers at this outdoor mall. Very professional,

They have everything

By Alash1 |

When you first drive in you don’t realize just how big the area for shopping is. They have everything kind of restaurant you could ask for. They have every type of shopping you could want. Just go there once and you’ll keep coming back. Explore all the connected shopping areas as well.

Walking and shopping

By Chuck M |

We walked around and visited the Local. It had unique Colorado made gifts. Also a great spice shop is nearby.

Great Shopping - Easy to Reach

By ColoradoTraveler303 |

Lots of stores and restaurants - with the opportunity to walk outdoors and enjoy the (mostly) beautiful Colorado weather. This place has a bit of everything!

Nice place to visit

By Michelle M |

Love this place nice resturants also shopping.A lot of different stores. Nice place to take family and friends from out of town.

Outdoor Mall

By jamiemomay |

The Southlands has little bit of everything for anyone. I enjoy the shops and restaurants. The events are always kid friendly. My kids love movie night because we make it a family date night by choosing one of the many fabulous restaurants to eat at or just enjoying the food available at AMC Southlands.

Great outdoor mall

By Milehikrs |

This is a great mall for meeting other families and just strolling around, looking at the shops, and getting something to eat. The plaza in front of the theaters is the main focus and it's so versatile -- in the winters it's an ice rink, and in the summers it is a pop-jet fountain that the kids can run through and get completely soaked -- bring towels and a change of clothes! The mall hosts a Farmer's Market, outdoor concerts, and lots of other community events throughout the year. Just yesterday alone we got new phones at Verizon, mailed a package at the Post Office, watched the kids play in the fountains, got more money at the bank, and finally left after getting some frozen yogurt. It has a nice small-town feel. Just wish the parking didn't get so congested.

Anything you could want in a convenient location!

By Greta M |

I live just a couple of miles away, but I am so glad to have this shopping center so close to home. I like the fact that there are the big box stores on the perimeter (Sam's Club, Walmart, JC Penney's, among many others) and smaller stores and boutiques in the interior of the center. It is very easy to get in and out, because you can part directly in front of the store you need to visit. I love the fact that it's not an all day event when I need to buy a certain product. There is also a movie theater at the north end of the complex, and many restaurants. You can make a visit here last as long or as short as you desire. When the weather is nice, it can also be a pleasant place to just wander around and window shop. In the summertime there are also fountains for children to play in in front of the theatre, and an ice skating rink in the wintertime.

Very Nice family area

By anthony r |

This place is pretty cool in the summer, on Friday nights they have live bands playing in the center. Every other day and evening the center is a big water fountain that the kids run through and play in., there are also a couple of jungle animals foe them to play on as well. lots of great shopping and tons of great places to eat. all in all not a bad place at all. something for everyone

Great place for adults and kids

By Becky F |

There are a variety of shops, ranging from Barnes and Nobel to Eddie Bauer to Justice to Chicos--something for everyone. Also, a good selection of restaurants:Mexican, Chinese, steak, etc. The best restaurant is just off Main Street, Wine Experience. This is a locally owned restaurant with a great wine selection and a quality menu. Don't miss this restaurant!

Nice outside mall

By DukeBlue80016 |

This is a great outside mall with something for all age groups. There is a nice central gathering spot with a gas fire pit and plenty of seating. In the summer there are fun fountains, free concerts and Farmers' Markets. In the winter, there is an ice rink. The variety of stores and restaurants make this a nice place to bring out of town guests.

Love this area!

By Phoebe B |

There is so much you can do at Southlands. Watch a movie, shop, eat and run errands like getting your car washed!

Beautiful area and fun for all

By Vanessa U |

I moved here last September and it is a very nice neighborhood. Lots of things to do for everyone. Movie theatre, shopping, water fun for kids in the summer.

Cool outdoor mall

By ajnavy04 |

This is a nice outdoor mall area. There are a decent number of shops and restaurants as well as some nice open areas and a movie theater. Great place to take kids and do some shopping//eating.

Nice variety of stores and restaurants

By COtravelers2_8 |

Shopping and restaurants to meet the needs of any shopper. The area is walkable but can be easily accessed with your car. Parking seems sufficiently accessible. Nice place to visit in all seasons.

Southlands

By samanthafletcher28 |

As a whole Southlands has so many amazing spots for everyone. During the summer there is a farmers market that we always visit.

Fun place to shop and look around.

By Juan D |

Many different stores to see things to do good food had a great time, my family enjoy visiting this location nice buildings nice layout of the shopping area we had a great time.

Spend the day at Southlands!

By Life2Travel |

There is plenty to do for everyone at this outdoor mall. Stroll the sidewalks for shopiing, restaurants, boutiques, movies and arcade games. The area is very well done and it's enjoyable to grab a drink and just walk around when the weather is nice. In the winter, there is an ice skating rink with skate rentals available and a large fire pit to enjoy. In the summer, the kids will love all the fountains to cool off and play in. Always enjoy my time here.

AMC movie theatre in Southlands mall

By Merifromauroraco |

Visited this theatre for the first time. Reclining seats. Able to order dinner and watch a movie at the same time. This was a surprise from my grandchildren ages 6&9 for Father's Day. Food was delivered to our seats and nothing was a problem. The staff were polite,courteous and very accommodating. I will definitely return.

Variety of shops

By Chencha13 |

Saw new shops that I haven't seen at 'regular' malls. Love the cleanliness and water fountains, great stroll. I was walking little due to hip surgery but was able to sit in shade with many benches available. Great sales! The Irish pub restaurant has yummy food.

A nice place to take a walk in the summer and winter

By Liz L |

Of course you go to purchase something, but there are other things to do year round. Check out their website for seasonal events, specials from stores, and even gift certificates. We love going there in the summer to talk with our dogs and look at the pretty flowers. The kids like running in the fountain. In the evenings the huge fire is fun to gather near. Trick-or-treating for Halloween and an ice skating rink in the winter.

Southlands has it all.

By jrittacco |

They have about any store you are looking for. Plus restaurants, both average and up scale. Parking was ample. They even have a Movie Theater and ice skating in the winter. Plenty of benches and area to sit and relax.

Good Choice

By Brian C |

I have visited Southlands a hand full of times and its always been enjoyable and successful. The movie theater is clean, the restaurant choices are plentiful and quite a variety of stores. We always find stuff at Home Goods, I buy my clothing at JC Penny's, and eat at Big Daddy's. Parking is fairly good. The mall area is always pretty and well maintained.

The variety of a mall - and more.

By cindigary |

This mall has most of the major stores, including a Walmart and Sam's Club. There are also a number of unique stores in which to find different and unusual gifts for others or yourself.

Great Shopping

By eek556 |

We love to go to the Movie theater. The kids love the different activities, such as the water fountains in the summer, the skating ring in the winter and all the fun stuff in between. We enjoy going to the Farmers Market on the weekends.
