In the central section of the county you have one of the most family friendly upscale malls possible in Fair Oaks Mall. A fantastic mix of fun events throughout the year and close to 200 stores lining its halls draws visitors from miles around to enjoy this premium central county shopping destination. Another truly unique shopping experience is situated nearby. Fairfax Corner is "main street" style shopping district with an eclectic mix of stores, excellent dining options, and an outstanding movie theatre that's a local favorite. Events are also held at Fairfax Corner throughout the year.
In northwest Fairfax County resides another shopping district, Reston Town Center, which combines all the elements that make up the ideal downtown. They like to say they have "the vitality of an Italian piazza and the diversity of a French boulevard." Here you'll find easy-to-access stores, specialty shops, and restaurants lining the red brick streets. Year round events at a central pavilion range from ice skating in the winter, to concerts in the summer.
In the southeastern part of the county you'll find Springfield Mall. One of the largest malls in the region in terms of square footage, Springfield Mall offers shoppers the chance to explore multiple retailers and niche shopping venues. Springfield Mall is in the process of undergoing a major renovation that will eventually turn it into a plaza that will become a hub of social activities in the greater Springfield area.
