5 reviews for Carolina Place
I agree with Garret G...it's not ghetto (Eastland) and it's not snooty (South Park). It's a little bit of a drive, but when I need to get my mall on, I usually head to Carolina Place as the baby-bear (just right) alternative for me.
There are some good restaurants in the area as well, including Buco di Beppo, and the food court is pretty nice. The indoor play area is also an asset when the little niece is visiting.
I used to go shopping here quite often with the parentals, but that was many years ago & now I only travel here for the stuff around it. The mall used to be the nice new place where people in & around the city traveled. But lately the mall has started slipping & just doesn't offer up as much as it used to be.
I do go to some places around the mall though, such as REI & Buca Di Beppo. This area used to be sparse with commerce, but it's built up a lot lately & they have some good options around the mall.
But if you're heading to Carolina Place for the mall aspect, don't expect anything spectacular. They have your normal stores like any other mall, so nothing special. But it's not a bad trip to check out the stores & restaurants around the mall.
Again, its no SouthPark Mall, but a better mall to go to if you have children. They have a nice indoor play area for the kids so Mom and Dad can relax while their little ones are still bursting with energy after a long day of shopping. Their food court is really good too. Chick-fil-A, Bourbon Street Grill, Dairy Queen/Orange Julius, Great Steak & Potato are just a few.
I used to come here and eat the big slices of Sbarro pizza in the food court and just people watch. Although I am not much of a mall person, I enjoy this mall more than any other in the Charlotte region because it isn't ghetto and it isn't snooty either, it is right in between. I like the Newsstand to gaze at the Rolling Stone and I like Lids for my head accessories. Carolina Place is really laid back.
Carolina is a good place to go shopping because, first its close to home and there are a lot of stores. its big too and it has a variety of restaurants and stores. Its also a good place to go out and hang out with friends and have a good time. The Christmas decorations are beautiful in December, and in the fall.
The photo booths are really cool there. Once you take your photos they come out in cubes with four photos its really cool. Anyway, any one can go to this mall and buy a lot of good things, unlike South Park Mall.
