I was anxiously awaiting Legacy Place to open. Too bad that I work full time in the city, and am very rarely around on weekends. I thought I'd never made it down to Dedham. Lo and behold, though, I had a free Saturday so I made the jaunt down south. I agree with everyone that posted about the clusterfuck of Route 1 and getting here, and I wholeheartedly agree about the horrid design of the parking lot. It feels like a fancy strip mall. Why couldn't they have made it even a little better by having it laid out like, say, Wrentham? The current layout makes zero sense. Once I got past that, I meandered to a few stores I had in mind - notably, Gap, Lululemon, Urban, H&M, and Whole Foods. I saw Anthropologie across the way, and I'm kicking myself for not going around the corner to visit Stil Studio, but it had been a long day, and Whole Foods was calling. The selection of stores is nice - you have your regular, run-of-the-mill stuff like Gap, Ann Taylor Loft, Clarks, and then you have nicer, higher-end/Newbury-kind or not-found-anywhere-else-around-here like Stil, Apple, Anthropologie, and LL Bean. And that Whole Foods. Wowweeee. I love the restaurant selections - you can do something quick like Au Bon Pain, or you can be a little bit more hip and go to the Met. I was ecstatic not to see a Cheesecake Factory or some other monster chain. Not sure that I'd made the trek down for the retail stores since I live and work right in town and have all of that within walking distance. But hells bells will I drive 20mins south to hit up the most amazing Whole Foods I've ever been in! read more

I'm not a huge shopper - shocking, I know since I' m a female. If you love to shop, then you would enjoy Legacy Place. Lots of stores, some high end so it's a shoppers dream come true. I prefer the Lux Level movie theater there - that's why I go. read more

It's about time that build something nice in this area the old movie theater was taken too much space I'm so glad they decided to build small shop variety instead a bid name brand mall I lovr the fact that I can park my car on a nice weather day and browse all my favorite stores. everytime you walk in you feel that you are special you get all the attention that you need or like. the other fact that if i'm in a rush I can go in and out within half of an hour and I'm done. Don't froget all the restaurants,ice crean shop ,whole food and movie theater you can't beat that... LOve Legacy place!!!!!!!!!!' P.S the only reason I gave it a 4 stars in the parking it could be challenging some times. read more

I love shopping at Legacy Place!! I was actually really skeptical about Legacy Place opening because I thought and outdoor mall seemed like a bad idea, but I actually love the outdoor feel. It is fun to walk around on a nice day-- you can go inside, window shop, or grab an ice cream or a snack to eat outside. They have the best Whole Foods around, and the assortment of other shops is really great!! All the stores are brand new, so they are all very fresh and clean. I usually shop at that Victoria's Secret because it is bigger than the other two near me. They have a good selection of Pink and other clothing. I also really like Banana Republic, Gap, and Anthropology there. If you are looking for a snack, there is a J.P. Licks and an Au Bon Pain. The Wholefoods also has a ton of food to grab and go! I usually park in the regular lot. It gets busy at peak times, so I tend to go around 3-4:00 on weekdays when it is a little quieter. I have also gone on the weekend to go to the movies though and easily parked in the garage. read more

We love Legacy Place. We moved to Dedham a year ago prior to Legacy Place opening. Dedham is a great place to live but had limited dinning and shopping choices then Legacy Place opened. What a God sent... from a Delux Showcase movie theater to great shops and amazing restaurant choices. read more

Have ventured over to Legacy Place twice. Love the stores including a brand new whole foods and there is Met Bar and a PF Changs....Finally some decent dining in this area. Every time I go it is packed with people so it seems fairly successful. I agree with the other posts that the parking and traffic flow are a nightmare. Great place to meet friends after work......check it out! read more

Wow upgrade city! The staff are team fluidly working together soops polite and attentive. I sat here for a couple of hours dabbling thru work so.. let's just say I people watched. Creepy I know. But thumbs up. Keep up the good work I'll be back with more patrons. Special thanks to Alicia, Joe, Deshaun and that consistent behind the scenes DJ- who plays all the good tunes. Yours truly Impressed read more

At first I wasn't crazy about Legacy Place because the parking lots are kind of small. The buildings seemed too close together . But I think the urban vibe here is starting to grow on me. Still not crazy about the urban prices though. They play some nice music outdoors. Good acoustics. read more

Insane parking. The lot to the left of the garage might have more spaces so don't give up quickly. Great shops, but the check-in deal is expired, so don't try to use it. I like outdoor malls more during winter time because it makes it seem more like the holidays read more

I am very impressed with this new shopping experience! The fact that they have a huge free parking garage is awesome, the variety of stores, shops, restaurants and attractions is pretty much unrivaled in the area. It's so accessible from 95, and 495 that it's an easy on and off. I had a great experience here today. It was busy considering it is only a Monday but was impressed by the huge LL Bean, the Kings that rests in the corner, and the many many stores that are being built here. There is truly something here for everyone with any budget. From H&M to Urban Outfitters and everything inbetween and above and beyond. I can't wait til this is completely finished and to see how they decorate for Christmas because the little touches they had out for Halloween were super cute! read more

If you guys in the Dedham area around Route 1 that's the place to be they got a lot of good stores very good movie theater bowling alley a bunch of nice restaurants and more good place to take kids and family would definitely recommend this place read more

A wonderful, quaint shopping center in Dedham. Yes, parking is horrible, but that's why there is a parking garage (and by the way, there is ALWAYS parking at the Whole Foods lot. Just don't tell too many people!!!). The actual center is always clean, and is set up really great. Access from Providence Highway, Legacy Place Boulevard, and Elm Street. Exit 15A off Route 128, to Route 1A in Dedham. While you're at it, for everything else (keep in mind, there really aren't any department stores here), University Station is down in Westwood, and everything else is on Providence Highway in one of the MILLIONS of plazas in the Dedham / W Rox area. read more

I just started going here and truly like the selection of stores along with the ambiance. Giggle (a boutique baby store) is just the cutest! They have an excellent selection of clothing shops using the Gap and Ann Taylor Loft. I'm also fairly impressed with the choice of restaurants. My reason for writing this review is the astounding service that I got at the New Balance store. I have small feet (size five 1/2) and City Sports did not have a single pair of sneakers in my size. I noticed the NB store and they have four pairs of sneakers in my size but the salesman laced up and applied a shoe horn to get just about every pair of sneakers on my feet. I can't even remember the last time that I got that kind of personalized service at a shoe store! read more

I love Legacy Place! It's full of the greatest restaurants and the best of shopping! BUT..I have to tell you..who the hell designed the parking should be smacked upside the head! It's a nightmare to get in and out of this place. The movie theater and Kings makes the little parking area fill up so quickly people are fighting to get spots and the parking garage well that's a whole other story. There's a traffic circle next to Whole foods where "anything goes" and no one obeys any sort of law. So good luck when you try and get out of this place. I really love Legacy Place A LOT..BUT..they really need to do something about the parking situation...it's scary! read more

Great selection of stores, restaurants, and activities-- the Whole Foods is AMAZING. Why not 5 stars then? Parking outside of the garage is a NIGHTMARE. read more

I really like how Legacy Place turned out. I remember when they first started building it. i didn't think it was going to look as nice as it does. I love the movie theater! Even though it is expensive, it's worth it. The seats are comfortable, the theater is never packed and they have a good chunk of movies playing. I still like to go here even if it is just to escape the city. I haven't been to the other shops at this location but I'll go one day to try it out. read more

Legacy Place has been in Dedham for several years now and has been great addition to the area. There are great shops, restaurants, a Showcase Cinema deLux movie theatre, and Kings bowling. The stores seem to do very well and I look forward to the new ones that are planned to open this year. It is definitely a go-to stop for me on a regular basis, whether it's to buy clothes for myself or my kids or to pick up a gift. One of my favorite stores is Neiman Marcus Last Call; it is the only one in the area. Sephora, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and Athleta keep me coming back. Legal C Bar is a great place to stop for a quick bite of delicious seafood and a glass of wine after shopping. Sometimes a trip to a larger mall is necessary, depending on what I need to shop for and how much, but often I can save time and gas by coming to Legacy Place. For someone who lives further away, it is still work checking out. Similar to Marketstreet in Lynnfield. Parking can be difficult on the weekends, but they do have a garage in addition to the lots which helps. read more

I'm impressed. They have both a lucy AND a lululemon, as well as Anthropologie. The selection of stores beats anything else in the area. Tons of free parking @ the garage. read more

It took me a while to try this place out, but now that I did, I know I'll keep going back! I live in Braintree so it's not too far, but definitely worth the 15 minute drive. I love the variety of stores. Although more for me and less options for the bf (but that's usually the case isn't it?) The H&M is huge! There is one of those in Braintree too, so it's nice to see Anthropology, Lucky Jeans, Urban Outfitters, and a bunch of boutique-y type shops that you can't find at the South Shore Plaza. Moving on to food: Love the Yardhouse, although it get's pricey with all those high alcohol content beers. Met Bar & Grill, PF Changs, B. Good, JP Licks, etc. Great variety and range of prices. Parking can be tough, but that's good bc it means they're doing well. Stores aren't overcrowded because a lot of those drivers are spread out at the movies, Whole foods, shopping, eating, etc. Moving on to food: Love the Yardhouse, although it get's pricey with all those high alcohol content beers.

Great shopping plaza- nice mix of stores and restaurants, even entertainment. You'll pretty much find everything you need here!

Legacy Place is a quality outdoor mall! There's plenty of parking with an adjacent garage. The stores are varied, offering a range of clothing, housewares, and novelty brands with restaurants sprinkled in between. Because it's an outdoor space the stores don't keep the same hours. read more

Legacy Place is a welcome addition as an outdoor mall in Massachusetts. The retail stores are great for browsing but I feel like most people won't actually purchase items from here because of the limited stock (small stores) and high prices. Even around holiday season there are not many sales to be found here. My favorite stores here are Urban Outfitters, LL Bean, & City Sports. The restaurant choices here are numerous and of great variety. The high end restaurants are PF Changs, Met Bar + Grill, & Genki but you can also grab a bite at more affordable places like The Yard House or Whole Foods Cafeteria. Then head over to the Showcase Cinema or Kings for some fun! read more

A great place for an outdoor shopping excursion, a date (food, movies and bowling all in one place) or even to grocery shop (the Whole Foods is awesome!). My only complaint about Legacy Place is the perpetual lack of parking in the lot. I swear I always circle around and around for a bit before snagging a spot. read more

I enjoy shopping and eating at Legacy Place. I do not enjoy driving around or the parking situation at Legacy Place. They've added many spots via garages, it just takes a bit to get in and out. Being that Legacy Place is largely an outdoor mall, there's alot of stop and go at crosswalks. If you need assistance, not many know that the Mall Office is just below the escalator that goes up to the movie theater. read more

As this place slowly opens the many stores that will fill this unique new shopping plaza, you can tell it is going to be great. LL Bean, Showcase Cinemas Deluxe, Whole Foods and tons of other high end stores all contained off Route 1 in Dedham in a tucked away almost courtyard town village plaza that is very nicely set up with a huge parking garage for parking and even a new Kings bowling center. As well they have an Apple store, Urban Outfitters and many others. Plus some cool restaurants making this a great place to shop. I do think this is going to take business away from Chestnut Hill Mall and Atrium Mall as that area except for Bloomingdales does not compare to this plaza. In the next coming weeks all of this will open and will make this area a nice place to shop! read more

Even though this mall has a lot of great offerings I have noticed that the service I receive at all places across the board (besides yardhouse, bowling, and the cinema) is markedly worse than at Boston, Cambridge, or Chestnut Hill locations. If you come here just know that this mall isn't held to the same standard as other malls in terms of service. Be prepared to help yourself and don't expect anything great. read more

Overestimated and so bloody generic. It's very convenient for people in that area who want to avoid masses at Natick Collections or South Shore Plaza. However this is not a worthwhile destination for people coming over five miles, you can find whole Foods, Apple , and Orvis anywhere in greater Boston. read more

I have a minor shopping habit and it needed to be filled so my friend suggested we head to Legacy Place. For some reason I was thinking it was an outlet like Wrentham so I was excited for some deals. Also figured it had some overhangs and the rain would not affect us. Wrong and wrong. This is actually a high end center. And it's completely outside aka no where to hide from the rain. This place looked like it would be nice to walk around in when it's warm out. The cold driving rain cut our trip short but we did go into ll bean, a candy store , Ann Taylor , and lucky. All places had friendly associates working there. I saw a lot of comments about the parking. We parked no problem because of the monsoon but I can see where it could get really busy and really messy. If your looking for a high end shop this place seems to have it. But it's too much for my budget. I'll be sticking to the outlets. read more

I love LP. Why? (a) because it's close, (b) because it rose from the ashes of a post-apocalyptic wasteland - seriously that area was sad, (c) because the movie theater, bowling alley, restaurants, and fast food joints are all fantastic, and (d) it's a curiously lively, pleasant place that attracts people from all different backgrounds. It may well be the most diverse destination in the state. Now, I could knock a star off for the strange parking situation, but I usually just zoom right up to the upper levels of the garage and don't bother with the interior lots (though they're not bad during off hours). I could also knock a star off for the general difficulty in navigating the area by car. I won't because somehow, in spite of that, it remains a very pedestrian friendly environment. I could also knock a star off for having very few stores that interest me personally, but I won't because for the most part the stores bring in a lot of the business that makes the overall feel of the place seem bustling. And having stuff I do enjoy (restaurants, movies, and the yard house for a beer with friends) so close and convenient, and lively, trumps all that. Dedham FTW! read more

Beautiful to shop here especially on summer nights but the stores themselves aren't that great for a young person like myself. Great restaurants all around and there's a beautiful movie theater located there as well. Mainly go for H&M or JP licks . read more

Had a beautiful shopping day! Felt like Urban Outfitters was understocked....or else I just couldn't find anything to buy (which is hard to believe). The stuff on sale was just so-so. LOVED Love Culture found some great spring pieces at bargain prices...the music was hip too. Also hit up Lucky Brand (25% off full price items) & Luluemon! Didn't realize that Anthropologie has a candle that smells just like my favorite scent from Trish McEvoy. The candle from Trish is Wild Blackberry Vanilla and retails at $48....the candle at Anthropologie is Santiago Huckleberry and costs only $18. I bought it...we'll see how it burns! 6:00PM- P.F. Changs was packed! It was a 45 min wait to get a table. The service was so slow, but the delicious Orange Peel Shrimp made up for it! read more

wait... urban outfitters whole foods AND JP LICKS?!!!! this place just keeps getting better and better. one stop shopping and eating. plus the best ice cream everrrrrrrrr. read more

I come here about once a week. They take my money. I enjoy the ambiance. Seems like a fair trade off. Very California open, airy. I dig it.

This complex gets four stars for the mix of shops and restaurants, and finally bringing a multiplex to this side of town. However, I can't understand why the developers decided to put a parking lot in the middle of the open air shopping space. This space could have been turned into something much more pedestrian friendly, since there is plenty of parking in the garages on the edge of the complex. As it is now, it looks like strip mall. It's an upscale strip mall, but it's still a strip mall. Aren't there enough of those in Dedham already? If the developers eliminated about half of the surface spots and turned it into a plaza with fountains, this would easily be a five star review. read more

I'm here too much. I'm not embarrassed- it has everything I want and need- a variety of restaurants, Whole Foods, ice cream, movies, bowling, and obviously shopping. I heart you Legacy Place. read more

Better than the old movie theatre that wa there. Great shops whole foods restaurants and movie theatre. Glad something like this opened up in Dedham right off the highway. Much better than driving to natick. read more

I've only been here once and it was close to closing. It was such a beautiful summer night that it would have been nice if the stores had extended hours because there were a TON of people still walking around. They have a B. Good there which is awesome when you just want to grab something that is a quick and healthier option. A big plus is that the grounds are well maintained and so are the stores. The neatest and most well stocked Victoria Secret I have EVER been in. It was amazing. I will most definitely be going back this summer. read more

One of my favorite places to shop, especially during the warm weather months :-)

Good selection of stores and restaurants. I'm a huge LLBean fan, so that's a plus for me.
