Lakeside Outdoor Mall is known for hosting the iconic views that can be accessed by two of the restaurants balconies here, as well as a small, standalone, public balcony in between two buildings.
Breathtaking and scenic views, definitely the highlight of the visit here is watching the sunset, it absolutely is magical. The public balcony outlook is nestled between two buildings, that has a spectacular and impressive views over the lake with amazing scenery.
Three different ways to access the view:
The big balcony in the dining area, situated over the lake, is only accessible through The Oasis restaurant, with purchase.
There is another balcony at the second restaurant, called The Oasis Brewery. Again, this is only accessible through the restaurant with purchase.
There is a small nook where there is another outlook/balcony outside the restaurants too. It is available for public viewing and is accessible after walking up a few short flights of stairs. The public access balcony is fairly small, only a few people (probably one or two) can view or take pictures at a time. So if you go during rush hours, it may be a bit of a wait to get to the front of the line for pics/views. Plan your trip accordingly.
The restaurants here are overpriced, so ideally would recommend eating before coming here.
Plenty of parking available in the main parking lot. Not sure if it’s wheelchair accessible on the higher floors, didn’t see an elevator while visiting, but first floor is accessible.
The shops/boutiques located in the outdoor mall here are almost all vacant or went out of business. Usually it’s a ghost town with very little shops/vendors actually open. Not an ideal destination for shopping. The only places consistently open are the two restaurants, and the gift shop associated with those two restaurants.
Overall, it’s worth stopping and checking this place out for the scenic views, if you are visiting the surrounding area. Would like to reiterate that it’s highly recommended you eat before or...
