In addition to unique museums and historical attractions like Old Sacramento, a riverfront district that dazzles with vibrant architecture<\/a>, California’s capital provides ample opportunities to indulge in retail therapy. The city is home to an array of shopping and dining hubs, such as\u00a0Arden Fair<\/a>. Located less than 15 minutes away from downtown, it’s one of the hands-down best malls to visit in Sacramento<\/a>. This two-story structure features high ceilings and a series of skylights that drench Arden Fair in natural light and offer a polished (and admittedly nostalgic) ’90s look. Trees and other greenery line many of the corridors and common areas, further elevating this aesthetic.<\/p>\n Visual appeal aside, Arden Fair boasts more than 150 retailers where one can purchase everything from electronics to\u00a0art\u00a0and collectibles. “I went in planning a quick errand, but the atmosphere was lively without being chaotic, and the staff in several stores went out of their way to help,” reads a review from Google<\/a>, where the mall features a 4.2 rating from over 19,000 reviews. As shoppers explore Arden Fair, they can expect to encounter big-brand names such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Uniqlo\u00a0(this is the Japanese brand’s first and, as of this writing, only<\/a> store in Sacramento), Apple, Pop Mart\u00a0(famed for Labubus), and much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, there are\u00a0smaller specialty businesses,\u00a0too. This includes Diva Fajas Colombianas, a top-rated<\/a>, women-owned shop that sells shapewear, and El Palacio, which sells extravagant gowns\u00a0for prom and other special occasions. Naturally, the food court\u00a0is also a highlight for visitors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Fuel up for your shopping adventures at Sacramento’s Arden Fair<\/p>\n Although Sacramento, California’s “City of Trees,” has a thriving culinary scene<\/a>, a day at the mall is arguably not complete without hitting the food court. The one at Arden Fair, featuring a nostalgic open dining area surrounded by various vendors, is situated on the second floor. Here, hungry shoppers will find mall staples like Hot Dog on a Stick, the pizza chain\u00a0Sbarro, and Cinnabon, among others. Seoul Express is popular among reviewers on Google<\/a>, who say that it is a small business. The Korean eatery is halal\u00a0and serves\u00a0entrees like bulgogi beef and BBQ short ribs, served on noodles or rice. A reviewer<\/a> also notes, “Their soups and chicken are amazing and the kimchi is so fresh and light.”<\/p>\n
