Avalon

I have been coming here ever since they built Avalon! It’s been amazing to see how much it and the area has grown since. They have very upscale stores (LuLuLemon, Apple, Anthropologie, CHANEL and more) as well as a good selection of restaurants. It is very well-kept in that the sidewalks and area is kept clean and well-maintained. Depending on the season they host different events. For example, since Christmas is coming up soon they’ll be converting the green area near the fountain to an ice skating rink. They set up pretty lights as well as festive Christmas decorations. The only thing that can be a struggle sometimes is parking- they have a main parking deck as well as metered street parking and lots in front of some of the stores (like ARHAUS). During busy seasons or nights it can sometimes be difficult to find a spot.

Avalon is one of the best shopping and lifestyle destinations in the area! The open-air design, upscale stores, and beautiful ambiance make it a great place to shop, dine, and relax. There’s a great mix of high-end and popular brands, and the restaurants are fantastic—from casual bites to fine dining. The outdoor seating areas, green spaces, and seasonal events create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Pro Tip: Parking can get crowded on weekends, so arrive early or use valet. Highly recommend visiting for a great shopping and dining experience! 🛍️🍽️✨

This is a very nice upscale outdoor mall with a nice variety of stores and restaurants. Some restaurants offer outdoor seating but the mall has several nice areas to lounge. There is much to do including a skating rink. There's something for everyone. We did a little shopping and alot of eating and then some sitting around. We didnt experience any parking issues once we found the lot. We visited on a Saturday morning and stayed until dark. It's an easy going place but it gets more busy later in the day when the younger crowd comes out.

This is a nice, walkable outdoor shopping mall that’s easy to navigate and not overwhelmingly large. Parking is convenient, though it does get very crowded on weekends. I gave it 4 stars because, while it has a pleasant atmosphere, the restaurants are quite overpriced, and most of the stores are luxury brands, limiting the options a bit. I also only noticed one public restroom available.

8/8 - 8/10 - this is a hidden gem in Alpharetta. We were staying the weekend at hotel Avalon, and enjoyed all the ambiance, concert, great staff, area workers, friendly patrons/guest/travelers, etc. Parking and walk if you're in the area and enjoy. There's ample parking, food, fun, and so much more.
