This Taubman-owned mall has more than 160 shops to choose from, including luxury name brands such as Louis Vuitton, department store Neiman Marcus and Tiffany & Co. In addition to fashion and department stores, the mall also boasts a eight-screen movie theater and Elway's Restaurant. For families or parents with children, a play park opened in side the mall in August 2010, featuring costumed Looney Tunes characters. The park, created through a partnership between Warner Brothers and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, was built with an emphasis to encourage children to engage in fitness and take care of their health.
