Water Tower Place - Shopping mall in Chicago - 835 Michigan Ave, USA

I've never been to a mall that had more than two floors, so one with seven (7) ??!?? Is INSANE! For us, we only visited a handful of shops, but they were pretty spread out between the floors, and we didn't mind riding the escalators up and down a few times. I would definitely 100% recommend grabbing a shake from Jojo's, I'm pretty sure they're located on the main floor, or maybe the second? It was delicious and not that expensive. I wish we had one back where I live, because I would be buying them all the time 😅😅🤷🏻‍♀

My bestie took me here while we were in Chicago for a concert. The museum was cool and had some cool games to play. Entry fee for the Sports museum was only $10. It was a beautiful, and a safe atmosphere. Tons of places to shop. I was watching the movie Fred Claus and during the scene where a bunch of Santa's were chasing Vince Vaughans character into a Toy's R US in that same building. I was like "Hey!! I was just there!" LOL We got lost trying to find the way out that we came in. One of the workers who was I think was waiting for her ride home while sitting at the bottom of a staircase chimed in when she could tell we were lost. She was super polite and explained to us how to get to the entrance we came in. Chicago gets a bad reputation from the media but there's amazing friendly people who live there. The woman working the sports museum Entry point was just as friendly. I love Chicago! Everytime I go there it's a different experience, but it's always positive.

Completed in 1869 Water Tower and Pumping Station survived the Chicago Fire of 1871 because of a German immigrant fireman, Frank Trautman, who covered the buildings with woolen blankets and discarded canvas sails and kept the covers soaked in lake water. Love it!

I haven't been here in years and it's wonderful, good security. The stores are clean. The place is very nice. I liked it a lot

Cool place to visit, as you walk in you get a sense of the size, after all, there are 7 floors. There are plenty of stores to visit and the elevators were fun to take. We went during the Holidays, the decorations were pretty.

This used to be THE place to go shopping, now not so much... I used to love going here with my family. You could spend hours in here just browsing through the stores. I guess covid really affected the place, but I also think rent must be ridiculously high. Another great thing in Chicago that is no more!

It’s been a while since I’ve been at the water tower. And by a while, I mean about eight years at least. Going back was very reminiscing. The food courts still have many delicious options. What I love the most was an art exhibit that has different types of art from several artists. Overall just a good place for a good time to spend with family and friends.

It's not the same exciting shopping mall where once it was similar to an afternoon traffic jam just to go up the escalators. Many of the shops have unfamiliar names. Whoever owns the place better hurry and do something like loweing rent before it becomes a relic or a high-end condo building!
