About
NorthPark Center is one of the top-rated malls in the country, and it earns the distinction. Museum-quality art installations by Andy Warhol and other major artists are displayed throughout the corridors. The play area for toddlers and little kids is excellent.
Holiday decorations starting mid-November, including the annual life-size gingerbread house, make this a seasonal destination. Over 200 stores and a strong restaurant selection.
