I can understand outside malls in beautiful southern California, but Tucson? I don't know about that. But it would seem that with the new outlet stores on I-10 it is a thing that is here to stay. La Encantada is posh and upscale (Tucson's only Apple store--oooooh!), but the store selection is pretty different than what you'd find in the anchor-lease spots at the likes of most malls across America. If you don't mind the weather outside, it's pretty and a change of pace.
I only go here for the monthly Cars & Coffee car show. It's a great event, and it's worth the drive. The show occurs the second Saturday of each month. Summer hours are 7am-10am and normal hours are 8am-11am. If you've never seen an exotic car and want to, then this is the show to go to.
Special events like easter egg hunt and halloween trick-or-treating make this a great outdoor mall for kids.
Beautiful upscale mall in Tucson, Arizona. I enjoyed walking around looking at all of the different shops. It is very scenic. Restaurants are fantastic!! Check out Blanco and the Gelato place!!
