Fall will be here before you know it.

That means leaves changing, a crisp breeze in the air, and the return of pumpkin-spice everything.

The season is also the perfect time to enjoy outdoor shopping in Little Rock at one of the area’s most popular open air malls.

The Best Time of the Year for Open Air Mall Shopping

Forget the summer heat and winter chill, fall in Little Rock is absolutely gorgeous. With an average temperature in the 70s, you can enjoy walking from store to store at this outdoor mall without working up a sweat or bundling up in layers. 

Here are three reasons Shackleford Crossings is the perfect fall hangout for you and your family.

1. Stock Up on Supplies for Halloween and Thanksgiving

The fall holidays are the perfect opportunity for DIY ideas. Head over to JoAnn Fabric and Craft to pick up all the supplies you’ll need for fun and creative Halloween and Thanksgiving projects.

2. Upgrade Your Wardrobe with the Latest Fall Fashions

Cooler weather means you’ll be needing more long pants and shirts. JC Penney has a great selection of fashionable options for the whole family. Or if you’re looking for something specific for the kids, check out Babies R Us for the cutest outfits for your little ones. 

3. Catch the Game or Grab a Bite

If spending time outside in nice weather isn’t for you – or the football game is on – there are plenty of options to satisfy your sports fix. Head to BJ’s Brewhouse to cheer on your team in a friendly, sports bar atmosphere. And if you want to really feel the excitement, pick up one of the flat screen TVs at Walmart to turn your home into the ultimate place to watch the game.
