11AM - 8PM
100 W Higgins Rd, South Barrington“We ventured out prior to the cold and freezing temps! We got to just walk around and they decor was gorgeous! They have out did themselves with the amount of decorations! The castle was beautiful but it was very snowy to get to! We miss the skating rink and wish they would bring that back! However, the service at the little hot chocolate booth was phenomenal and they had a selection of drinks! I hope you'll venture out and even grab a movie, shop, and a cocktail! There is a wide range of selection from shopping, eating and walking around! The value will range in where you'd want to go! Enjoy folks-- bundle up as all of it walking and outside.”
“Meeting friends for breakfast on a Sunday morning, I had no problem finding parking in this massive lot. Several of the big box stores are represented here but there are also restaurants, smaller chain stores and even a Dunkin for coffee.”
6AM - 12AM
6120-6340 Northwest Hwy, Crystal Lake“This Jewel location is always well stocked, well lit, and clean. The other stores here are of varied types, but nothing to keep you shopping beyond the one store you come to shop.”
“Closest shopping mall to me. Sadly, Springhill mall is closed. Great area for shopping especially when the weather is nice. Some great restaurants too. Also, some exciting new restaurants coming. The newest addition, Chicago Ramen, has fantastic food. I highly recommend anyone new to ramen and ramen lovers to head over there and eat. I love that Five and Below moved to the commons area. One of my favorite stores to shop at. Just a whole lot of great stores in the area. I can't wait for the new line of shops open. A bit sad about Bulldogs. My favorite place to eat for Fish Fridays.”
9:30AM - 5:30PM
200 Applebee St, Barrington“Neat for historic purposes and to get a few fun photos, but not what many people are looking for when it comes to a mall experience. This definitely skews towards an unusual collection of shops that sell specialized items and antiques. There are also options for salon, spa, personal, travel, and educational services in addition to the shopping. With that said, this is worth a visit just to see the botique mall set in an old ice house. Chessie's in a railroad dining car built by Pullman is quite interesting as well as the original Barrington Train Station exterior that it was built on. The mall itself has a very unique look to it that is something rare to see and experience -- even if you are just walking through the common areas.”
10 AM - 4 PM
28147 W Commercial Ave Ste 1, Lake Barrington“I absolutely love this unique shop and friendly service. Through the years I’ve e gotten several beloved pieces and many gifts and fun decor items. Julie makes it all so much fun and easy. Great job with the special Covid era shopping process, too. I’ve also taken advantage of her mail order site and am very pleased.”
“Kohls & Fresh Thyme. Add in Target, & you're all set. Kohl's store had been completely redesigned. It took me a minute to find what I was looking for on my visit. Don't know yet if I like it or not. Nice thing is they now have self checkout, if you want, along with regular.”
5 - 9:30PM
1650 W Algonquin Rd, Hoffman Estates“Went to great clips in Huntington plaza, waiting time is very less and even if it is crowded your waiting will be max 5 minutes and haircut also won't last more than 5 minutes pretty quick and you end up with what you had in mind. Highly recommended.”
10AM - 9PM
S Randall Rd & County Line Rd, Algonquin“Went to the Polish deli up there, & the selection of food & "old world" friendly feel of the place took me back to a happier- simpler time ( if you know what I mean !”
10AM - 9PM
6000 Northwest Hwy, Crystal Lake“Since most people have gone online for a lot of shopping, this place was pretty quiet and at the same time the crew working the place was very helpful and personable in helping with whatever I was looking for in electronics or otherwise.”
“As far as Commons go, this is one that has many options and great stores. Toys, groceries, Auto parts fast food, coffee. The list goes on and on. Worth a visit for sure.”
“Beautiful layout , cheap drinks decent place to watch the game ....No Bar food tho!? But you can bring in your own food, besides that I'd come back probably if it's still here later.”

“I'm guessing this is World Market? But hey folks this is another place to shop for some interesting global gift ideas. Or maybe you're an expat that needs that something that isn't sold in the regular stores here. E.g. Golden Syrup - an essential for British cuisine!Also, a good selection of celebration cards.Maybe some interior decorations. Go on, take a look and find that gift for someone (or maybe yourself!)...”
