Streets of Woodfield

I am at Streets of Woodfield at least once a month. Carson Pirie Scott is the main anchor but there is plenty of boutiques shopping. Dicks, Starbucks, Chipotle, Asha Salon Spa, Jamba Juice, LegoWorld, Gameworks. I can go on and on. Plenty of free parking. Easy access to the interstate systems.

The amc theater is great… except for the imax. Imax is a separate owner of their imax theater rooms. So they have not and will not upgrade their seats. They probably have not been upgraded since they were put in! Small very cramp seats the cup holders are not even level. Someone walked by and it’s such a small space they knocked over our drinks, and also we were hit in the head behind us by other people’s coats. Thankfully AMC is better then IMAX and refunded us for our spilt beverages. So if your going to watch a movie DON’T GO TO THE IMAX VEIWING.

tons of things to do and great eating
would like to see more schaumburg police — sometimes things are crazy later in the day and also weekends

Streets of Woodfield have been around for a while. As a whole, it’s okay. I am not a huge fan of teen hangout overall feel it has but maybe I’m just getting old and I’ll own that.
You have a wide variety of shops and restaurants for children and adults of all ages. Just off the top of my head: Loews/​AMC theater, wickets restaurant & bar, shaw’s crab house, Gameworks, a tuxedo shop, carson’s, Lego store, chipotle, dicks sporting goods, Jamba Juice, meatheads, a little gift shop that looks appealing behind Jamba Juice, Maggiano’s and I’m sure a slew of other businesses I’m forgetting.
It’s not the mad house that is Woodfield so for that, I am grateful, but it’s plenty busy. Good spot for a date night and no need to travel far from one place to the next. Nice fountain near Maggiano’s, rock climbing wall in Dicks, and new recliner seating in the AMC movie theater!
Check it out if you’re in the area. I advise parking further away from the chipotle and circle drive and walking to your destination (s).
My tip: avoid on the weekend! I avoid the entire Woodfield area on the weekends either way!

It’s a nice place to hang out during the summers. They have places to eat, dessert, and a movie theater.

Streets of Woodfield is the perfect suburban hangout.
That’s probably why so many suburbanites find their way here.
Starbucks? Of course — and it’s not just any Starbucks, its a fancy one with wine and small plates in the evening. Chipotle? Yep. Movie theater? Check. Red Mango. Jamba Juice. Omaha Steaks. Meatheads. A bridal boutique. A department store. LEGOLAND. Gameworks. A comedy club. Asian food. Italian food. Fancy clothing stores. Wickets Bar & Grill. Check. Check. Check. And more checks. The stores are an interesting mix — some good places to eat sprinkled with incredibly specialized stores.
Parking? Hard to find. I usually end up in the back of the lot or near Dick’s. If you’re lucky, you can snag a spot in the parking garage next to the movie theater. Crowds? Oh, yes. Kids, teens, 20somethings, families, etc., you got it.
Am I impressed? Hmm. Each of these places on their own is more than fine. I get why people love coming here. It’s convenient. But all of these places packed together in one shopping center? It’s a bit overwhelming. Not my thing. Yet, I keep coming back. Such is the trap that is the Woodfield area. Also, it’s a shame Coldstone is gone. Loved that place.
Love it, hate it, just like everything else that has to do with Woodfield.
(Note: Apparently Whole Foods and Crate & Barrel are part of the Streets of Woodfield. I never considered them to be part of the shopping center, but if they are, well, I love Whole Foods! :P)

Oh, Streets! Where the cool suburban kids (no, really. We’re from Chicago!) come to play.
Once upon a time, Streets was happenin’. There was so much to do — mainly, so many people to mingle with — and there was a buzz. It had a really great vibe. These days, not so.
Despite this, the parking lots are chronically packed. How? Why? I don’t know. Ok, so we have one of the fanciest Starbucks in the nation, but… what about the other 1,000 spots? I can’t imagine there are that many folks buying hams and tuxes, but what do I know? Streets, if filled with the right tenants, could serve a purpose for Schaumburg’s people and finances. It just seems they are still having trouble getting the right mix to come and/​or stay, even all these years later.

Great place to meet up with friends! Chipotle, Red Mango, Starbucks & more! We frequently are here several times a week. I love the Asha Aveda for all things salon & spa related, I love the restaurants and little hangout area up here. Seems loads of other Schaumburgians feel the same, because this place is always PACKED! Finding a parking spot is almost always next to impossible, no matter when you go… well I suppose with the exception of getting a late night Red Mango! They are open until 11pm most nights, 10pm even on Sundays! Some people do shorten «Streets of Woodfield» to calling it «SOW», I am if-​y on it, but catch myself doing it sometimes. So if you are talking to someone and they say to meet up at SOW, resist the urge to think of pigs being involved in anyway, it’s just good ol’ Streets of Woodfield!

Hungry and in Schaumburg, kids want to go to LegoLand, looking to catch a movie, or just looking to hang out?
Streets of Woodfield has you covered in many different areas. There are plenty of food options, shopping and entertainment choices.
Woodfield Mall is easy to get to and located across the street from Woodfield Mall which also means it is not far from the Ikea too.
Stop on by for a coffee, frozen yogurt, Thai/​Chinese food, or a movie. There are plenty of places to pass the time and enjoy good times with friends.
