The village shopping center is the perfect place to spend your day or evening. It is most busy in the winter time when the ski slopes are open but it is good to go year round. Fire+ice, base camp pizza, gun barrel, and kalanis are all some of my favorite spots to go and are amazing! There are also a few other restaurants on the street side of the village like Azul and a burger spot. In the winter time they have an ice skating rink and in the summer it I'd usually mini golf right there. You also have an abundance of shops and a movie theater.

Won't do business in this center ever again - which is a shame, because we love the shops and were seriously considering a purchase from...

When we decided to leave, not really keeping track of time there was a ticket for $200 on our vehicle, apparently we exceeded the 2 hr time limit. I contested the ticket explaining we were actually patrons of the center and explained our day, response was ticket upheld and request denied. Please keep in mind the parking lot was virtually empty. I don't think this money grab by the center is good for the reputation of South Lake and are extremely disappointed at this treatment to visitors...
