The fountain has a great like music stand with casual seating. It was great to listen to music in the evening outside and they had a wine tasting available as well. Lots of restaurants around the square. More

I like to come here and shop. There is a sky walk. Also in the summer, the is a lot of activities to do like food tasting, craft shows, shoppers dream, public plays. At Christmas... The most beautiful place. Everything is all lit up. You can ice skate on the fountain, drink hot chocolate or visit Santa. More
