A Trip to Fox Valley Mall, Aurora, IL.

If you are looking for a baby friendly place to do some "major" shopping, Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, Illinois is the place to go! The Mall is located west of Chicago, off I-88.

I recently spent the day with my 9 month old and was amazed at how "kid friendly" the mall was.

Located on the lower level of the mall is a full size carousel within the massive food court. Its wonderful entertainment for babies to watch while grabbing a bite to eat. I was also quite impressed with the full size "family lounge" area they have just located off the food court. Here you can relax & comfortably feed the baby, nurse in a private area. They also offer full size private bathrooms, and an area with bottle warmers, changing area, sink. All the comforts of home.

The shops are incredible here, my favorite being "Build a Bear". Here you can actually put together piece by piece your own "Teddy Bear". It was great fun for me & a wonderful keepsake for the baby.

There are so many other wonderful shops in this mall, you could definitely spend the day finding bargains. I also highly recommend taking a short drive from the mall to Naperville, Illinois. This town of over 150,000 was just voted #2 in the world of "best places to live" and has a wide variety of family oriented activites to enjoy.

Enjoy your trip to Fox Valley & Naperville, IL. we did!!
