点评:Woodfield Mall is the largest mall in the state of Illinois and one of the largest in the country, it opened in 1971, since then it's been renovated and now has about 300 stores, specialty shops, restaurants, fast/quick food places, cafes, kiosks, stands, play area for children, Grand Court, etc. Not only Woodfield Mall is large, it is quite beautiful.
The digital directory in the mall lists all the stores and their location in the mall, although at first, it's not very easy to orient yourself in this huge shopping center, since there are various ways of walking and getting to the right store in the mall, using overpasses, escalators, or stairs. Elevators are also available.
I visited this mega mall twice in November, and now have a pretty good idea, how to explore and shop in it. The fantastic Grand Court and Ice Palace in the center of the mall and the main anchor stores -- Macy's, Nordstrom, JC Penny and Primark -- are the reference points for guests. All the high-end stores -- and actually all the stores -- are well marked, restrooms are available, and there are also many rest areas around -- with chairs and tables -- for guests to relax. But with crowds of shoppers in the mall, all these areas were packed with thousands of people.
My favorite store in the Woodfield Mall is Nordstrom -- a very spacious, well-lighted, well-appointed, ultra modern upscale store, with the top-quality merchandise and excellent customer service. You feel rested after shopping there. All other stores I visited -- and even some modern art galleries in the mall -- are also quite attractive. Service in all these stores was very polite and friendly.
During this holiday season, there are massive sales going on in the mall, and it is a perfect place for gift shopping. Practically, all the stores have been offering 40%--50% discounts during the Black Friday weekend.
Both visits were very productive and quite enjoyable, Woodfield Mall has a vast parking space, and public transportation to some other parts of the area is also available.
The mall is located in Schaumburg -- about 27 miles west of The Chicago Loop, and I-290 is just a pleasure to drive. It is estimated, that each year about 30 million people visit Woodfield Mall. No wonder, it is a great place, with excellent shops and restaurants. Plan to be back!
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year to Woodfield Mall!

购物中心的数字目录列出了所有商店及其在购物中心的位置,尽管一开始,要在这个巨大的购物中心中定位自己并不容易,因为步行和到达购物中心正确商店的方式有多种,使用立交桥、自动扶梯或楼梯。还设有电梯。
我在 11 月份两次参观了这个大型购物中心,现在有了一个很好的主意,如何在里面探索和购物。位于购物中心中心的梦幻般的 Grand Court 和 Ice Palace 以及主要的主力商店 - Macy's、Nordstrom、JC Penny 和 Primark - 都是客人的参考点。所有的高端商店——实际上是所有的商店——都有明显的标志,有洗手间,周围还有很多休息区——有椅子和桌子——供客人放松。但由于商场内购物者众多,所有这些区域都挤满了数千人。
伍德菲尔德购物中心我最喜欢的商店是 Nordstrom,这是一家非常宽敞、光线充足、设备齐全、超现代的高档商店,提供最优质的商品和卓越的客户服务。在那里购物后你会感到休息。我参观过的所有其他商店——甚至商场里的一些现代艺术画廊——也都相当有吸引力。所有这些商店的服务都非常有礼貌和友好。
每逢节日期间,商场内都会进行大量的促销活动,是选购礼品的绝佳去处。实际上,所有商店在黑色星期五周末都提供 40%--50% 的折扣。
两次访问都非常富有成效且相当愉快,伍德菲尔德购物中心拥有宽敞的停车位,并且还提供前往该地区其他一些地方的公共交通。
该购物中心位于绍姆堡 - 芝加哥环线以西约 27 英里,驾车前往 290 号州际公路非常方便。据估计,每年约有 3000 万人参观伍德菲尔德购物中心。难怪,这是一个很棒的地方,有很棒的商店和餐馆。计划回来!
伍德菲尔德购物中心节日快乐,新年快乐!
