CF Market Mall is a great and fantastic mall in Calgary's Northwest. It is a bit older but always busy and pleasant. The mall has a modern, spacious, and elegant layout with a convenient circle floor plan. It offers a great mix and decent variety of stores with all the usual brands, providing good deals and broad appeal without being over-the-top extravagant. For dining, there is a food court with lots of tasty options like Arby's and Taco Bell, plus larger attached restaurants such as The Keg and milestones for sit-down meals. However, the food court could do better as some food seems to have been sitting out too long. The mall is family-friendly, featuring a well-organized, well-regulated, and fantastic play place for kids that can be booked. The underground parking is a major plus on cold or snowy days, and there is plenty of parking overall. As one of only two malls in the city that accept the CF gift card, it is a convenient place to shop and get some steps in. The whole place feels clean and inviting with friendly staff, though the women's bathrooms are not always clean, are small, and often have queues. A little more attention to cleaning the playground equipment would also make it even better.
