Desert Ridge Marketplace is a great place for shopping. There are plenty of large shops (Target, Kohls, Petsmart, Old Navy, Ross) and plenty of small shops (Game Daze, Hot Topic, As You Wish Pottery) for everyone to enjoy. There are plenty of places to grab a bit to eat or take in a show at the AMC. I normally come early on the weekends for a show at the AMC and then do some light shopping afterwards. \n\nThe parking lot is huge, but it needs to be for this type of outdoor mall. The only downside is how crowded it can get and how unfriendly folks can be while driving in a cramped parking lot. During the holidays, they have cones and whatnot out to direct traffic, but I think they should keep them year round because some drivers are out of control! \n\nOther than that, it's a great place for any time of day since they've got you covered for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I particularly enjoy The Keg for dinner, but there are plenty of other eateries (burgers, burritos, pizza, etc) if you are in the mood for something different. Either way, check it out!
