North Riverside: More Than a Shopping Mecca
Come alive in North Riverside, a shopping paradise with excellent nightlife and scenic nature all in a 1.6-square-mile package.
Go on a shopping spree at North Riverside Park Mall, a thriving shopping center with all your favorite name-brand stores, as well as specialty retailers, including Miniso and Anime World, among others. Drop your kids off at Kids Club and see their faces light up with joy and wonder, or get your steps in with the Mall Walkers Club, then catch the latest blockbuster at Classic Cinemas North Riverside, a movie theater located right inside the mall that has free popcorn refills and luxury heated reclining seats. North Riverside Park Mall hosts amazing monthly events, too, so be on the lookout for those!
North Riverside is home to the best-kept secret in all of the Chicagoland area – Chef Shangri-La. Take in excellent live performances from Chef Shangri-La’s extensive roster of celebrity impersonators, while you dine on Chinese classics and sip fruity tiki drinks surrounded by tropical decor.
Explore the great outdoors at Commons Park, a beautiful 14-acre dog-friendly park with picnic tables, a ball field, a playground, two pavilions, a bike path, a sledding hill, a gazebo and two ponds, which can be skated on during the winter months. In the summer, North Riverside Parks & Recreation sponsors special events and concerts.
