What to do and see in Virginia, United States: The Best Shopping Malls
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Tyson’s Galleria (Also known as Tysons II) is an uber hi-end mall with stores like Prada, YSL, Louis Vuitton, Sak’s, Neiman Marcus, etc. Over the years, this mall has been up and down with occupancy. It does feature some nicer restaurants, like Wild Fire. Overall, I like this mall and the stores in it. It’s also connected to the Ritz-Carlton, so if you’re staying at the Ritz, you can walk right into the mall from the 4th floor.

Tyson's Corner is a very modern shopping mall where you can find stores from good reputable American brands to premium ones such Coach or Tesla. The food courts are ok but I'd rather recommend the speciality restaurants. The department stores Macys, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's are spacious and well provided. Lord and Taylor has a lower standard. Godiva is a store I recommend, especially because Ice cream.
6. Merchants Square

Inspired by the rich architectural heritage of the 18th century, Merchants Square blends the atmosphere found in the adjacent Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg with 21st-century shopping and dining. This is a shopping experience unlike any other. We offer the best in personal service, high-quality merchandise, world-class food, and shop owners who really care.

Merchants Square has a large and very special selection of small specialty shops full of interesting finds and friendly, helpful staff. Among them are a mens clothing store, gift stores, candy shops, an ice cream parlor, a Christmas shop, a handful of restaurants and pubs, a jeweler. It's a very pleasant, bucolic area in which to spend time and a fun place to browse for unique mementos of your time in Williamsburg.

I absolutely loved this huge place. It has over 300 booths and it's over 45,000 square feet plus a cafe. I thought the pricing was fare but a few things seemed to be overpriced. The main aisles were wide and clear but there were some cluttered booths (some you couldn't even get into for the clutter). We just pass right by the cluttered booths because it isn't worth knocking something over or tripping. You can find coins, military, vintage jewelry, art, vinyl records, holiday, books, civil war items, lighting, china, pottery, tools, pewter, silver, toys, porcelain, vintage clothes, many unique items (some I have never seen before) and so much more. It's definitely worth checking out.

The MacArthur Center shopping mall in Norfolk, VA. hosts shops and restaurants including the area's premier Dillard's department store. At our Norfolk shopping center we have shops you won't find anywhere else in the area like Lush, Pottery Barn, and The Art of Shaving. The mall is off Interstate 264, just west of Norfolk State University.

We referred among ourselves to this shopping mall as "Dillards" which is the anchor department store. The mall is very convenient for cruisers to walk to from the cruise terminal. Perhaps it is called "MacArthur Center" because it is located across the street from the swanky MacArthur Memorial which was once City Hall, now restored. The Moses Myers House is on the other side of the mall on Freemason Street while the historic St. Paul's Episcopal Church is located at its parking garage entrance on Cumberland Street. This modern 3 level A/C mall provided a welcome relief from the outdoor heat. Shoppers will find a variety of their familiar chain clothing stores in this mall. Escalators whip visitors quickly up to the 3rd level food court and WC, located closer to the Freemason Street entrance. There seemed to be plenty of undercover parking - perhaps with a charge. At street level, we also enjoyed looking at the mall's 16 display windows each filled with an important event from Virginia's 400 year history, from 1624 to present day. This display called Windows on History was very interesting for me as a visitor and someone unfamiliar with the history of the locale. The timeline was continuous along the length of these windows on City Hall Avenue. Individual windows had photos of important people and buildings, quotes from important personages, or copies of documents. I liked the display about the revolutionary times with a picture of Lord Dunmore who had shot the cannonball that still remains in St. Paul's Church. I found this shopping mall a pleasure to visit. Its proximity to core attractions in Norfolk was a definite plus as I could use my time in visiting the attractions, not getting to them.
