I've been going to Water Tower ever since I was young. I'm still mesmerized by the glass elevator . The Foodlife is a food court that accommodates all taste buds. The Water Tower is great fun for all.

The water tower place is a great place to shop with many floors and stores to check out! They have a big food court and the lego store is fun to check out too so go see for yourself!

Melody Legge

One stop shopping. Great to be able to get what you need in one place. Great for the winter months and families where people want to do multiple things. Elevator is slow. Escalators take awhile too

Juan U

Forgot I had taken a pic if the escalator of the water tower. 1st.pic is looking up from first floor, 2nd. pic is looking down from the top, and 3rd. pic is a side shot of escalator from first floor.

Not a large variety of stores, but there is pretty much everything you need. Macy's, Starbucks, Lush, Victoria Secret, Sephora and a ton of food. Try the Chicago style pizza at Foodlife on the first

Jonathan Ferrera

For a mall , this place has one of the best food courts , which is located on the mezzanine. The variety is great and worth the visit on their own merit.

Another great offering on the Magnificent Mile-family friendly . Many jewelry stores , great clothing options and I loved the Watch stand where they changed by battery in my watch in a timely fashion!

Sarah Cox

I loved the layout with all of the escalators and it has a great variety of stores! The food court is amazing make sure you check it out!

The kind man working at the food court , cooking stir fry , was extremely generous and offered my meal on the house after I had to go back twice and ask the front desk for a different card that worked:)

If you're ever downtown and just love to shop a walk down the Magnificent mile will be good for you. it leads you to The Water Tower Place Mall where you will find a lot of stores ::D happy Shopping

Jamie Pitman

Water Tower is a great location for lunch because of its selection.I would argue that the shops in this specific location are sub par compared to the mass amount of competition among Michigan Avenue.

Nice Shopping Center. There are few good cafe shops and Dining options.

Carolina Guerrero

Nice mall . My favorite stores Adidas & Lego. Well located if you're sightseeing, just next door is the Hancock Center

Chicago Tribune

859 feet tall, 74 stories. Floor after floor of shopping - and don't stop until you get to 7 ... lots of places to eat and snack up there. More stories on Water Tower Place: http://trib.in/oVOobe

This is a great place to escape from school. Even if you don't want to buy anything, it is a great atmosphere. TIP: check for sales!

Ross Guthrie

Have a great meal at FoodLife to take a break from shopping. The concept is expansive, so everyone should get what they want.

Me-Ality

Get a free body scan to avoid changing room headaches and find your fit in 100s of brands at the Me-Ality booth on the sixth floor across from Aeropostale.

Jonathan Ferrera

A typical selection of stores, but I love the food court . It's busy and great for people watching .

Come for the warmth and the view . Lots of places to shop and eat.

Brian Ibarra

Big mall next to water tower that has some really high end shopping available

Auryon Blue

Definitely worth eating at Foodease instead of Foodlife . You can build your own plate & take things to go. Better selection in my opinion!

Explore Chicago

Check out the new self-service Broadway in Chicago kiosk in the lobby on the first floor for tickets to shows like Billy Elliot, The Lion King, Wicked, and much more (shows subject to change).

Jasmeve Deacobs

One of my all time favorite places in all of Chicago!! Beautiful mall and I’m stoked they just opened a morphe store!

Lulu

Although it has 8 floors but limited variety of stores????

The Wow Bao in this mall serves frozen yogurt . Delicious frozen yogurt . Get some and check in there too because they love social media at the Bao .

Love shopping here! It does get very crowded over the weekends with tourists mainly, but if you know why you're there, you should be fine!!

Monica C

Fairly small mall with expensive parking . Flagship stores for LEGO and American girl.

Shopping is really good! Also the downstairs food court has a lot of options!

Although it has 8 floor but limited variety of stores ????

Chris Merrell

Teavana, Macy's and the Lego store make this place the best mall downtown.

Daniella Peting

Visiting from out of town ? Request a FREE Premier Perks coupon book from the concierge in the Michigan Avenue lobby. It's so worth it!

alonso Hernandez

You should go to Godiva and try the chocolate strawberries ...

Michael P. Hill

If you're not using a stroller or have someone with mobility issues, consider using the escalators instead of the elevators . This mall 's elevators are extremely slow and overused.

A S

Cellphone charging stations are right outside the elevators on floors 4, 5 and 6.

Sarah Cox

Love the food court here! Very unique.
