3 Best Shopping in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas

Shopaholics shouldn't miss Grapevine Mills Mall, with more than 1.5 million square feet of discount shopping. Families can spend an entire day here, watching movies, playing video games, shopping for bargains, and eating at restaurants like the Rainforest Cafe. If full-price Neiman Marcus isn't in your budget, check out Last Call, the local retailer's discount store. Hello Kitty fans take note: The area's only licensed Sanrio shop is here, too.

A small store that specializes in Christian merchandise, Holy Grounds is crammed with crosses, angels, Bibles, study books, and embellished T-shirts. In the back of the store you'll find more than 100 flavors of whole-bean coffee.

The Shops at Willow Bend include anchors Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue and boutiques such as Escada, Lacoste, and Yves Delorme. The indoor play area (which looks like a giant breakfast, complete with a Texas-sized steak and a coffee cup to jump in and out of) is usually packed with toddlers and their parents. The rest of the mall is rarely crowded—excellent for serious shoppers with little time.
