After shopping at the Natick "Mall" for decades, I decided to try out the Natick "Collection" last year. B-Real was right. Insane. INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE. INSANE IN THE BRAIN! The parking "lot" is horrendous. It's like your worst nightmare because it's Christmas and icy and cold and snowy and there is a line of 234432 SUVs, Cadillac Escalades, BMW Minivans, Mercedes Station Wagons, and the lone green Kia (my ride) all waiting to find a parking spot. Oh, they do have "valet" for seven bucks. Yeah, I'm all set in that area. As if I'd give you SEVEN DOLLARS for some douchebag to drive my car --SEVEN DOLLARS to enter the mall? No, thanks. Actually, just NO. Listen to Nancy Regan. Just Say No! So, I did find a space last year after looking for a good 15 minutes. I was heading home to Western Mass and was so starving that I decided to take myself out to California Pizza Kitchen for some fuel before I drove. CPK had a wait, but since it was just for one they ended up seating me really quickly. Yay for being a loner! Anyway, I'm here to review the MALL er, Collection. So, I went back this Sunday. From a distance the mall looks like some hotel in Vegas. I mean, the Collection (specifically, the Neiman Marcus store). But, that's neither here nor there. Why you ask? Because we drove around for 26 minutes. Yes, I tracked the time. Twenty-six minutes to find a space. Ya know where we ended up? Chestnut Hill. Yup, we just kept driving. Natick Mall, er, Collection. Never. Again. read more

Nobody can tell you about this mall like an employee can. I work at one of the higher end stores on the "OLD" side of the mall and I can attest to the debauchery that is the Natick Collection. It's not so much the mall itself. Yes I wish the food court didn't shit the bed. But what can you do? Another Orange Chicken lunch on your break? why not!? The worst thing about the Natick Collection are the people who shop there. I work in retail so I realize that these people pay my salary, but it's just not right. Teenagers are my worst enemy. The best thing they did was change the closing time to 9 pm. I would honestly watch a huge SUV full of little bitches pile out into the mall @ 2 pm on a Friday as I went in to work and would walk by the same little whores sucking face with some pimple faced twat on my way out @ 1030. Natick and these surrounding towns need something to do with their youth then let them stew in a public forum. Being that school started this week...my life is much easier. Imagine those girls you hate in Sephora...I want to die. Some of these mothers, snobs, Wellesley moms need to get outta their head that they are the end-all be-all of life. They walk in my store expecting to be waited on hand and foot....umm go to Neimans. And when did it become socially acceptable for these women to push around double or TRIPLE wide strolers. THEN we get complaints that our aisles are not "shoppable" enough? The standards for that are for wheelchairs, and I've never seen a person in a wheel chair havin trouble navigating Sephora...no worse then the rest of us anyway. I've been personally ROLLED over many times. Leave the kiddies at home or get a smaller stoller for public areas. And then there are those get-in get-out people who can be just as annoying as the rest of the lot. We all have places to be...slow down and wait your turn. These are the people that make the parking situation so bad on week-ends. People who have trouble parking at the Natick collection aren't trying very hard. No matter what time my shift is, holiday season or not, it never takes me more than 10 minutes to park. The mall has everything tho. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else living in the Metro west area unless I was going to Boston. I've worked in the Burlington Mall and the Pru Center...Natick is calm, clean, and welcoming. BTW, the "old side" is doing far better than the new side. Our sales are up over a million from last year! read more

This is the mall you want to go during bad weather. You can literally get a full work out in. This mall is HUGE! I love the mixture of stores from Sears to Neiman Marcus they have it all for every shopper! Def wear comfy shoes when you come here! There's a lot to take in. You can refuel at PJ Changs, The Cheesecake Factory or California Pizza Kitchen if you need to. They also have a pretty decent food court. Check out Cupcake Charlie's and David's Tea when you're there! Parking can be a bit scary, but I usually park near Sears and find a stop in the parking garage. It is a very clean mall, and they have the best public bathrooms around in the high end section of the mall lol. read more

See all

Heavens to Excess....But what the heck, we are Americans. I remember Natick for their outdoor mall 30 years ago..Architecturally, it is really cool, but the parking is a little tough to figure out. Natick is, however, the reason we have malls in the first place. One place to go for everything. In this mall it is everything for a certain income bracket....Minnesota has Mall of America, Vegas has The Fashion Mall, now we have Natick.... Soon they will be checking your W2 read more

This mall is HUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE! It's almost as big as the one in KING of Prussia, PA Mall. If you like the stores listed below, then YOU SHOULD COME HERE!. Neiman Marcus Lord and Taylor Brand Names on one specific section like (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, Hugo Boss) Zara, Club Monaco, J Crew, Levi's, Juicy Couture, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, BCBG Maxaria, Michael Kors. Abercrombie and Fitch, Ruehl. Other main stores for everyone's budget like Macy's, Sears, Forever 21, American Eagle, Bath and Body Works, Champ Sports. Food court, D'Angelos, McDonalds, Sushi, Italian Pizzas, Ice creams, Coffee, Aunt Annie's, Starbucks. PS.... If you like them all, You should wear sneakers to walk around. PSS... there's more stores, I just lost count. read more

I love my malls but wow, this one is CRAZY. I used to come here during my college years and it was such a simple little mall with the usual stores. Now it's exploded into a mega-mall complete with multiple 4 story parking garages. Calling itself a "collection" is unnecessary and pretentious. It's still just a mall, albeit with some upscale stores and a modern fountain in the middle (which looks nice but smells bad) . Coming here on the weekend is a real challenge. Be prepared to play parking lot gladiators in order to snag a spot and also be prepared to run across the crosswalks to get into the mall before some crazed driver runs you over on their way to snag the last spot in the garage. After/if you actually make it into the mall, be prepared for the swarms. This place is huge. I actually wonder how long it takes to walk from one end to the other (15 minutes? More?). They have stores I've never even heard of. I think I can best sum this place up by saying it's like Copley/Prudential Center/Newbury St. dumped under one roof...except not nearly as pleasant as walking along Newbury on a sunny day. It seems to be divided also into a super upscale (think Juicy Couture, kate spade, Gucci etc) end and a more normal end (Gap, Victoria's Secret, Footlocker) with the department stores flanking. That said, it is nice to have a Nordstrom around (though Burlington has one now too) and having everything in one place is useful. I'd definitely recommend coming here on a weekday if you can manage though. More things in stock and less people (and by less I mean only a couple hundred instead of probably thousands on the weekend). The weekend was just hell and I know one day I'm going to either get into a car accident and/or get myself killed. read more

I enjoy going to the Natick mall. One of the few malls I don't cringe when my wife says, "Let's go to the mall. I need to return something." To this day I don't know why there's so much stuff to return. It would make sense not to buy it to begin with, but whatever. What I like about this mall is there are places and things that I can do while my wife return and buy stuff we don't need. I usually go to the Lego store, Newbury Comics, Gamestop, followed by the food court. Depending on time, we grab some gelato and walk around with our pinkies out looking at luxury items in their high-end section. This is just what I normally do. My wife goes to JC Penny, Macy's, Build-a-Bear workshop, and a bunch of other clothing stores. But this mall has pretty much everything to keep a person busy for a few hours. read more

Covid number are going up by the minute and people are walking unmasked in this closed mall. Maybe the management can't mandate the shoppers to do their share ( and keep our kids at school/ elderly safe/ spare doctors and nurses more trauma), but we even employees such as security are unmasked. Please consider twice before spending your money here! read more

This place is crazytown. Like new, space-age, over-the-top shopping. It starts from the ground up--gem-colored parking garages hit you like a scene from Miami Vice. Then you enter the actual mall--it's airy, carpeted, gargantuan, it's practically the size of Natick itself. I couldn't find my way around for the life of me, even with the maps helping me along. There's twists and corners everywhere making the 'Collection at Natick' less a mall than a labyrinthine maze. Design flaws and confusion aside, the mall has a Levi's store which was nothing short of fabulous. But I will say this--anything, and I mean ANYTHING you're looking for you can probably find here. And what mall wouldn't be complete without Sephora, Gap, et al? What makes this mall 'special' as it were, is the Nordstrom, its designer collection stores (Calvin, Burberry, etc), and special service for American Express cardholders. If my mom were with me she would've gotten a free shoe-shine and maybe a cookie! The place is too overwhelming for any one person to take. I cannot stress just how large the mall really is. Finding your way out is a difficult thing. I might be back one day for that Levi's store; but as a hint, definitely go early or on a weekday so the crowds aren't a problem. Just the slightest provocation in this confounding place could make any sane person snap. read more

Very nice and modern feel. Hubby and I enjoyed browsing the stores and purchased Boston Celtics apparel, found out there is no tax on clothing ! read more

I hadn't been here in over a decade and so much as changed while some things have remained the same. I love all the high end stores such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci and Neiman Marcus. You'll also find stores like Anthropologie and Harry and David. And of course, there are the big department stores such as Macy's, Nordstrom, and JC Penny. The one thing I noticed that bothered me was that there were mall security standing around, and I saw a couple of teenage kids playing with the mall strollers and no one told them to stop. read more

Natick - Natick + Somerset = Somerset Collection = Collection Massachusetts - assachusetts + ichigan = Michigan suburban splendor is universal. if i closed my eyes i would think i was at my hometown mall. and yes, we called it a collection too (except that our collection had a saks). for a more accurate comparison i would need to go during the winter to see how many furs i could count or uggs and juicy couture warmups or burberry scarves w/signature lv bags. check out kymm p's review for a sampling of the stores. (i feel no need to reiterate). there are worse things in the world. i love clothes! read more

this is the shopping center formerly known as the Natick Mall. It is asthetically pleasing, and now I can say that I went.... and will not go again. Why? 1. It is TOO much. The place is huge, and has a wide range of stores (which could be a good thing). ... too wide. When should Gucci, Louis Vuitton and JC Penney share the same address?? NEVER! 2. Parking.... so confusing 3. You can add all the high end shopping options you want, it's still Natick.... in the middle of no where.... I'll stick to Copley thank you very much. Nice try, though. read more

I love malls; I feel super comfortable inside malls. Maybe it was growing up in suburbia where you met your friends on play dates... at the mall. Maybe it was working in retail for years on end... at the mall (Pentagon City mall in D.C.--an amazing people-watching experience). Maybe it's my extreme love of (window) shopping... at the mall. It's really probably all the above. But for whatever reason, I feel at home inside big malls--I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely my warm mug of green. And the Natick Mall is no different. Multi-level, spacious, open, bright skylights. It's a shopper's delight. I usually come in through the parking garage (Nordstrom side), and peruse the leather goods and shoes there before stepping into the rest of the mall... there's everything you'd want here, from high end to casual, from Steinert's (where you can get a $100,000 Steinway) to Sephora (where you can get a $10 lip gloss). Plus, there are lots of yummy places to eat here, ranging from conveyor-belt Wasabi sushi to Amazon Bar smoothies to Sel de la Terre avec ton ami. Yup. Definitely one of the better malls in MA. (And Minado's just a quick drive away!) read more

This is the perfect mall for roller skating, since there are about 10 different flooring choices inside: tile, smaller tiles, rectangular tiles, laminate flooring, carpet, shiny tiles, little itty bitty tiles... As I was pushing around the stroller, I was amazed at the different vibrations the wheels created from going across the seams on the floors. Can you imagine? With skates on, you would feel ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu click click click click click click zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz squish squish squish (that's the carpet there). How fun. The mall itself is huge and has nice natural light, but after walking around for a couple of hours, we never came across the food court and had to settle on PF Changs. Seems like a nice enough place to kill a rainy (or extremely hot) afternoon, so the odds of me coming back here are very high. Parking is great, and covered parking is pretty awesome too. read more

I won't reiterate the stores they now have at the "N" but I want to add. .the parking is a bitch!! Completely and utterly confusing..especially trying to get out back to the Pike. The new "N" is completely upscale now and it shows. Take a look around and you will see more Uggs and Coach than you ever will in your entire life. Did anyone else realize that every inch you walk the more you dive deeper into the realm of the expensive. Each store got more designer and more snotty with every step. Another thing to note if you are walking in through the dept stores: the Makeup artist at the dept stores are overly harassing......oh and this SEARS of this mall as a small Sephora Dept. How upscale can you get? I give it three stars, because if you need something designer and expensive...than they will have it. read more

Infuriating, brain aneurysm inducing experience. Only go if you ABSOLUTELY have to. They have every store you can think of, and walking through the entire mall takes approximately 8 days. Parking is a shit show and there's a 50/50 chance you'll park at the exact opposite end of the one store you need to visit. Is there an app that helps you navigate the interior of this inner circle of hell? Because if there isn't, there should be, and dibs. read more

I've been going to this mall for many years now. I have always enjoyed coming here and seeing what new things/trends are in. They have plenty of stores to go clothes shopping, the food court is large and has a lot of options. Most of the time you can go here and have a good experience. But the retail apocalypse is real and this mall unfortunately is a victim to it. Less people frequent it over the years and some of my favorite stores have unfortunately closed down. I've had some of the best and worst moments at this mall. It's a place I would hope stays around forever but unfortunately every visit feels like it could be my last. read more

When I want to make a major shopping excursion and put a serious dent in my wallet, this is where I go. Or, if I just want to play dress up in various shoe departments, this is still where I go. The mall is beautiful, the mall is huge, and it certainly has something for everyone. Some people say "the mall is expensive." Sure, I get it. But then again, if you're shopping for Louis Vuitton handbags on a Vera Bradley budget, what do you expect? (Canal Street, anyone?) But there are a lot of nice stores and for those that like to shop in them, or just occasionally browse, doing so in the Natick Mall is a little nicer than Newbury Street among the crowds. Or at least, that's my opinion. You can easily spend an entire day here. There is a lot of parking, but if you're circling the first and second levels of a parking garage, good luck. Keep going up. Why 4 stars instead of 5? Simple. The food court sucks. There are several Asian-cuisine counters, a McDonalds, a D'Angelos, and a scary looking Sbarro's in the "food court." Sure, this is designed to make you spend more at several of the full-serve restaurants. I get it. And lastly, getting in and out of here is ridiculous. If you're coming from Rt. 9 East, do you take the Speen Street/Mass Pike exit and try to weave your way around? Or, do you enter by Macy's and crawl through parking lots to get where you want to go? Every time I leave the mall, I always end up where I don't want to go. I either end up on Rt. 9 instead of the Pike, or vice versa. Some clear signage and/or a variety of one-ways would help alleviate this. read more

I actually really like the Natick Collection. It may be similar to the stores at Copley, but at least at Natick the sales people in the stores are friendly. The Nordstrom in particular is amazing. The first time we were there we bought a shirt and got home and noticed they left the magnetic tag on. They came to our house in snow storm to take care of it. When the removal of the tag left a hole they took the shirt back and brought me a new one (incidentally in the next snow storm) It's open, light and airy in the Natick collection and much nicer then the dark pretentious air of Copley. read more

It could be a great place to shop if all the stores stayed open the same hours...I drove a great distance to shop there only to find out many of the boutiques including Neimans, LV, Gucci, Tiffany's close early at 8:00, however, the rest of the mall is open until 9:00 . Rude customer service personel when I questioned them about the mall hours. Security couldn't find the names and phone numbers of management so I could forward a complaint...thats really troubling....the whole Luxury wing closes early. It would be nice if their website explained the mall hours all in detail...I probably will not shop there again... read more

Holy crap, someone save me from this hellhole that is the Natick "Collection" as it calls itself. Every single square inch of the entire mall screams to appeal to the complete and total upper middle class soccer mom who works in a do nothing, middle management positions, but wants to pretend that she's some chic urban woman shopping in high end stores like Louis Vutton, Pink, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Burberry, etc, but doesn't have to park her Lincoln Navigator in the Copley Plaza to get it. Disgusting. On top of it all, thanks to its former collection name, and its location, you get to see the best dressed suburbanites out on the town maybe grabbing overpriced and woefully terrible food at Finale. I mean, I know Boston isn't even close to Manhattan, or LA, or Tokyo, or London, or even San Fransisco, but without a doubt, I was clicking my Kenneth Coles together while walking around wishing I could go home to Boston. There is only one store that is not a national chain store, and that's Stil, which manages to redeem the place to two stars. (I was at their opening party last night, which is the only reason why I was there). Keep me out please. And to addition, no one outside of the party at Stil was anyone dressed in something more complicated than say a lousy sweater, and some mom jeans, or for the nerdy husbands, some gross polyester shirt and pleated front khakis. One of the make-up artists at Nordstrom is absolutely beyond talented, and I wish him the best for being probably the best moment I had at the mall. read more

There is a point when retail "concepts," and retail stores in general reach the point of oversaturation, where maybe this sector of the economy has gone too far. That would sum up my thoughts on the Natick Collection. Once the site of a suburban mall that had seen better days it's now a glitzy showplace featuring dressed up architecture, stimulating graphics and images and decorative features found in the mega suburban malls outside of New York and Washington. Rather than providing a positive pleasant shopping experience, however, the Natick Collection has turned a retailing experience into a vortex, both numbing and unnerving at the same time. There is far less exphasis on the individual personalities of stores, of the goods they sell, and service than on the physical facility and atmosphere. The aisles and halls wind around the larger building, creating a highway of sorts past stores like Sears, Nordstrom's, Burberry's, various watch and other retailers., etc. Presumably the layout is supposed to provide a "Main Street," or village atmosphere to the mall; however instead it's more like an interstate...and as we well know, an interstate at rush hour or any crowded time is not a pleasant place to be. Although the selection of stores is extensive, there isn't really anything unique about them. There are a lot of chain outlets that sell the same items or variations thereon and similar prices. As for unusual values...you won't find them here. The pricing structure of Natick Collection's stores means there won't be any kind of true blockbuster sales. Better to try K-Mart during a sale. Or better yet., visit your local downtown area. You may pay a bit more, but the shopping experience will be a lot more positive. read more

This is a nice big mall with good number of shops. The food court is better compared to other malls in the town. read more

See all

great collection of stores, The only real downside is the parking, which has to be the worst planned system I've ever seen. Massive choke points at the entrances and exits to the main parking structures. On a crowded weekend, it can take a half an hour - this is not an exaggeration - to get out of the parking structure.. read more

Love this mall! This mall has just about every store you can think of and a few upscale stores! Definitely worth the drive from RI read more

Natick Mall - Crazy shopping day! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Is this place a mall, or a city? I take this one personally because I used to work at the Natick Mall about 8 years ago, and it was my favorite place to shop. The mall used to be pretty big, but not overwhelmingly so. It had all the stores you would need to find whatever it is you were looking for, and the prices were right where they should be. This mall now has become pretentious, upscale, and snobby. Not the kind of place I want to shop. On the weekends, try finding a parking spot in one of their many confusing lots, then try to find that same parking spot once you leave the mall, hope you have an extra 2 hours. As far as the stores go, I was happy with Macy's and Filene's (before they closed), now I am subjected to $300 dress shirts at Nordstrom's, and a plethora of high end Hollywood wannabe stores. The feeling of this mall has also changed, it used to be about the familiarity of the stores, and knowing exactly where you want to go and shop, now it's just a confusing maze, surrounded by miserable people buying items they cannot afford, and pretending they are famous for a day. Change isn't always a good thing, and this mall proves that, I wish the people who own the Natick Collection had heard of the saying "If it isn't broke, don't fix it". read more

How can people not like Natick Mall? First, it's got a huge parking garage, so you're bound to find a spot. Not to mention, it's free. Second, it's in a pretty sweet location, with accessible restaurants, a movie theater and a plethora of entertainment options. Third, it has most shops you can think of (Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Burberry, Gucci), along with shops that you'd actually shop at (Macy's, Express, JCrew, Banana Republic, etc...). Fourth, the food court has every type of food you would want, including Shot Cakes (ice cream + cupcake = heaven). Fifth, it's just a nice mall. It's always decorated in some festive way or another, with bright lighting and clean interiors. You will actually enjoy just walking around here, even if you end up not buying anything. Only issue is that this place can get fairly crowded, but it's big enough where it doesn't feel crowded, if that makes sense. Probably my favorite mall in the Boston area. read more

So it was one of the hottest days of 2008, and I couldn't stand being in the house anymore. I packed up all the baby stuff, put the little girl in her car seat, and off we went. I have heard mixed reviews since they added on to the existing mall. I can't understand why anyone would not like this new and improved mall. First off all, there is way more parking. We drove right in and we found a spot in no time. All the "regular" stores are still there... American Eagle, Victoria's Secret, Express, etc. But then there is the new stores. The new section has a Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Coach, Vera Bradley, The North Face, Martin + Osa, etc. Its crazy over there! Every store we walked into they offered bottles of water and asked if I would like to have someone watch my daughter so I could shop in peace... WHAT?! Crazy!!! So I was told not to buy anything over in the new wing because it is way too expensive... but most stores really weren't. I bought my fiance a Father's Day gift at The North Face and I bought myself a new purse from Vera Bradley. All in all it was a fun, and exciting trip. We had a blast and definitely will go back soon! read more

The Natick Mall (excuse me, the Natick COLLECTIONS) and I have a interesting past. As a teen I would come here with friends and roam around, splurging on Hot Topic purchases and people watching. Then something happened. The Natick Mall got a makeover. First they built a HUGE addition, then came the signs for stores I had only heard about and seen on TV, to the tune of Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and the likes. As a teen I saw this a horrible thing - because suddenly my beloved mall was filled with people of a slightly nicer air - woman with their fancy purses and bedazzled strollers. However, as an adult I have now fully come to appreciate the evolution that has occurred. I can come here and go to the same stores I know and love, and also window shop/stare longingly at the stores I hope to ONE DAY know and love. Only complaint being that obviously the new (and for the most part 'higher end') stores are all in the new part of the mall, which has created an odd dichotomy between the two ends of the mall - with each bringing in a very different type of crowd. Great for people watching purposes though! There is always enough parking (although be sure to remember which lot/garage you're in because lord knows there are a gabillion of them there). read more

The shittiest place on earth!!! Full of loud angry yelling kids / parents. Nasty days old food . Horable prices . I dont know why would any one would go ... read more

Oh how I love Natick Collection! This is easily my favorite mall around. My husband even prefers it here to any other. The mall is clean and stores are more spread out and not as congested as other places. There are alot of dining options, you can find the grilled cheese & french fry places by the food court, and Au Bon Pain, California Pizza Kitchen, The Cheesecake Factory, Met Bar & Grill and PF Chang's in other corners around the mall. I like the fact that all my favorite stores are here, and usually can't be found all together anywhere else...Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel, Francesca's, Athleta, Bath & Body Works, Macy's, Nordstrom, Sephora, Bebe, Swarovski, Lush, Brighton, The Body Shop, Charlotte Russe, Yankee Candle, Charming Charlie, Pandora, Express, Uniqlo, Victoria's Secret, Clarks, Free People, H&M, Forever 21, Lululemon, Michael Kors, Lucky Brand, Zumiez, Newbury Comics, The North Face, Origins, Pac Sun, Sur La Table, Tommy Bahama, Williams-Sonoma, Tory Burch & Urban Outfitters. And of course, lots more. Figure out your destinations before you go, as there's over 5,000 places to park. There's some underground parking spaces, multi-level spots, and full service valet parking is available for $8.00 at three locations: the mall entrance between Neiman Marcus & Nordstrom, the mall entrance between PF Chang's & Met Bar, and at The Cheesecake Factory Premium Gated Parking is available for $6.00 (up to 4 hours) and $9.00 (more than 4 hours) in Garage B off Natick Mall Road. read more

This place is a paradise for fashionistas. High end fashion without the trek to Copley. Rejoice! This place is swanky and hip, the decor is crazy, the window shopping is fabulous, the bathrooms are amazing, and the choices in restaurants are pretty gosh darn decent. Being a broke college student I never seem to buy much, maybe a stop in to Apple here and there or a nice dress at Nordstroms for a fancy occasion, but it is still fun to look. read more

This is a beautiful, beautiful mall. If I lived closer, I would probably stop by like every other week. I came during the middle of a workday, so I was able to shop in peace, without the interference of horror-story crowds. Considering how much damage I did here, I suppose that could have been a bad thing. Regardless, the Natick Mall is pretty great. There's a good mix of high-end and moderately-priced stores; I made out like a bandit at that awesome Forever 21 and was able to pick up some super-chic plaid ankle pants at New York and Company. I was looking to rebuild my entire wardrobe on the day I visited (losing 70 lbs is annoying that way), so I wasn't looking for anything specific per se. That being said, the Natick Mall is definitely the place to go if you're looking for something particular and you don't have hours and hours to browse clearance racks. The mall is just so large that there will inevitably be at least three stores at various price points that carry exactly what you're looking for. Plus, the parking situation isn't completely atrocious, which is a real feat for a mall this size. I'll definitely be back as soon as my schedule and bank account allow. read more

Wrong hours on mall website. It says open until 8 on Sunday but apparently is only open until 6. Unacceptable at a mall this size to be wrong on the hours. read more

YOU ARE A MALL. GET OVER YOURSELF. The Natick Collection is actually pretty neat...I kinda have to disagree with Kevin M in that I find it hysterical to see a Tiffany and a Louis Vuitton sharing the same address as Hot Topic. I also think it's neat to be able to hit some stores that one could go to downtown (Nordstrom, Betsey Johnson) without having to deal with downtown traffic or taking the T (i'm not a huge shopper, but I get cranky taking the T and then the bus home when I've got bags and my courier bag). I mean, I'm not a label whore, but it's still neat to have the option. I dunno, I kind of get a kick out of the mall now, as it's got store ranging from high rent to low rent. The place is huge and sometimes annoying to navigate, but it also boasts the largest skylight in New England. So that's pretty cool. Honestly, how do you review a mall? It's got good shops, it's clean, it's got restaurants, however it has the parking lot from HELL. Seriously. read more

Cons: the mall is huge, parking is a bitch on weekends (even with the nifty meter that tells you how many parking spots are left in each lot), and you're surrounded by annoying 14 year old girls carrying LV pochettes, and huge Juicy shopping bags. The food court is also pretty pathetic. Pros: the mall is HUGE...a shop for everyone and great restaurants, plus its so pretty and sparkly! Even their Payless is fancy! And It has a Nordstroms! I just love the Natick Collection! (if you can't tell from the !!!s) It's like the big California (like South Coast Plaza) malls that I've been missing. read more

The Natick Mall is a shopper's haven! I can't say enough good things about this mall, but to sum it up pretty well, I come here about 2-3 times a month. Oops. To start things off, they have a massive parking garage that is free for shoppers, and it's never an issue trying to find a spot. The options inside the mall are numerous - you have everything from Crate & Barrel to Macy's to Crumbs Bakery. There are options for the too rich and options for, well, the rest of us. Any time I need something, I know I can depend on good ol' Natick Mall! I'll warn you that this place is not for the faint of heart!

Best mall ever. Has a lot of selection for stores and places to eat. Wish there were more bathrooms or they were easier to find. Nordstrom Cafe is my go to restaurant service is quick and food is always fresh and delicious. Great selection for kids as well and taking a stroller is definitely recommended. read more

I figured since today's date is 12/13/14 I'd write a review. I love moments in time like these. Natick Mall aka Natick Collection, which was recently renovated and reopened in 2007, is a very classy/upscale mall with stores such as: Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Kate Spade, Louis Vuitton, and Michael Kors. Although very classy they also have some stores with moderate price points like: Wet Seal, JCPenney, Hot Topic, Zara, Aldo, MAC, Sephora, Lush and Torrid (this opening is awesome because the closest one to me was the Silver City Galleria which is about 30 miles away). There are the average food court fast food eateries and restaurants that include The Cheesecake Factory and Friendly's. Overall Natick Collection a very nice mall with price points that will accommodate everyone's wallet and Christmas list shopping needs.
