Visiting for the holidays and we decided to go to this mall. Should have never even boughter to go. My children were racially profiled by mall security or officers there. The way they spoke to my children even when my adult daughter approached as we were at the other end of the mall. Was very unprofessional and disrespectful. They were accused without any evidence of that action. When we approached they completely change their story and said " we can kick anyone for any reason" when asked them to go back and see cameras if my children did do what they kept accusing them of I will personally make them apologize. If they didn't, they would need to apologize. Their response was that we were not reviewing anything. When they had just told my daughter, they would go and see the cameras and charge them for assaulting an officer. The officer truly overreacted over the smallest thing and picked on 3 teenage kids who at no point were disrespectful and didn't do what they were being accused of. When I asked the officer if he saw them, he said NO, but they were laughing was his response. They are kids walking and talking among each other and laughing at something else. The manager of the mall who was there had no words to say. The entire time, the officer was speaking for him. I looked around the 4 officers and mall manager, all being caucasians. This was truly the first ever racial profile experience we had at a mall and over the officer saying he was HIT BY A GUMMY that he didn't see where it came from. We had just walked into the mall 15 minutes in, and kids had no candy on them. As well watch out in food court their prices posted do not match what they charge you as well. Worst mall I have...

Gurnee Mills has always been my go-to destination when I need a place to walk, browse, and enjoy a bit of everything under one roof. The variety of stores—from fashion and outlets to specialty shops—makes every visit exciting and different. It's the perfect spot whether you're looking to shop, grab a bite, or just enjoy a leisurely stroll.
I was saddened to see Forever 21 close its doors recently. It had been a staple for trendy, affordable fashion, and its absence is definitely felt. However, I did take advantage of their final sales, and it was a bittersweet experience.
Despite this change, Gurnee Mills continues to thrive with its diverse offerings and welcoming atmosphere. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive shopping experience. This mall truly has something for everyone and remains my favorite...
Read moreReally enjoyed visiting. There aren't many stores that I am particularly interested in, but their bookstore was amazing! I wish I had spent more time in there. I also found a little stand that was selling some fragrances that I haven't seen in person yet, and they had a bunch of the ones I like. I also went to the Rainforest Cafe! Which was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the Key Lime Pie. I now own a Rainforest Cafe cup, which is pretty cool. The volcano... or eruption, I don't remember... was also very good, I'm not a fan of ice cream, so I had a bit of a brownie, which was good. I can not tell you anything about the actual food, though, as we only went for desert. The atmosphere in the cafe was fun and also really cool. I took a bunch of...
