The Shops at Fallen Timbers

Pretty cool place, in the summer that is. Very new & well maintained. Alot of trendy stores w/​all the name brands. They have a couple Anchor Stores, such as JC Penney & Macy’s. Entertainment (movie theater) & nice places to eat also. They have a Granite City, P.F. Changs, Tilted Kilt, Red Robin & even a Subway.

Beautifully structured, much less traffic than Franklin Park, and typically more items and sales to choose from! If you can bear the weather, this should be your holiday shopping destination! It doesn’t have anything near the zoo atmosphere that you find at Franklin Park!

My car got broken into in the parking lot and the security cameras were too «fuzzy» to see anything in the parking lot. The cameras serve no purpose in protecting the safety of cars or people at this mall.

One of the better places to shop. It is very convient. Close to home. It is nice to have shopping close to home especially when u do not feel like fighting traffic.

I don’t think it’s possible to give an outdoor shopping mall in Ohio more than 3 stars, because frankly, it’s Ohio and they are pointless (because of weather) for more than half of the year. Scratch that, Easton Town Center in Columbus would get a solid 5 stars, even during a monsoon or a blizzard because it’s amazing, large, and just amazing. Wait, didn’t I say that already?
Fallen Timbers is very clean and has a nice quiet location, but honestly, there just isn’t a whole lot here. Sure, you have The Gap, The Body Shop, and Dillards, but stores you find in a typical mall (H&M, Banana Republic, etc) are not, and probably will not ever be located here. From personal experience, I will say that it is nice to sometimes have a store like The Gap, because the store doesn’t tend to be as busy as it would at a typical mall and you can sort of take your time shopping. Plus, I tend to find a lot of great stuff on clearance in my size at some of the less busy locations.
Anyhow, a solid 3 stars. If you would have more food options, probably another half star… If you had better shopping options, I’d probably bump it up to 4 or 4.5 stars.

If you build it, they… will not necessarily come. Well, not when you build it as an outdoor mall in the middle of a blustery field that is still quite a drive from the nearest town… in NW Ohio with its cold, snowy winters. Being downwind from a notoriously rank sewage treatment plant is also a major downside, especially in the hot summer months. For these reasons, as well as very few of the stores being much different from those in the insanely popular Westfield Shopping Center (the place to see and be seen I guess), Fallen Timbers has not done very well financially and keeps going through owners and bankruptcy court.
However, since I hate crowds and love bargains, Fallen Timbers has become the main shopping center for my family, and for myself if I am in the area.
To help draw in customers, I assume, the shops at FT seem to always have better deals than their cousins in Westfield or elsewhere. They also are less picked-​over, especially in winter when most people cannot abide the idea of walking through the wind tunnel from store to store. My main shop there is JC Penny’s, though sometimes Dillards or Lane Bryant\Cacique have good deals.
However, the most common reason I go to FT is for the movie theater, which streams live Met opera on certain days, and to eat at Granite City. There is also a PF Changs and Red Robin, though I am not as fond of these. For tighter budgets, the Auntie Ann’s\Hagen Daaz is very tasty with pretzel wrapped hotdogs, and there is also a Subway near the theater.
The location also offers some services beyond shopping, including salons and spas, and also a martial arts dojo (that looks very nice from the window).
Sadly, many of the shops are empty… contributing to a vicious cycle that fails to draw in more traffic. It is a shame, really. It is a lovely mall, with an absolutely stunning pond surrounded by roses come the season. There is also a large pit fire with chairs around it (and apparently wi-​fi), and a large chess set you can play around with. In the wintery seasons, there is a faux-​ice ice rink which looks fun, and «train rides» up and down the sidewalks for the kids. Summer time has farmer markets and big community events, typically geared towards kids. I think if I was or had a kid, I would be bringing them here quite frequently.
Parking is plentiful and though I am not fond of the parking on the streets, it is easier to see and get around than Levis Commons or Westfield. I suppose that will change if the place starts to get more popular and some of the sub divisions I think were planned are actually constructed. In the meantime, though, the only bad thing about going here is the distance — made longer by recent road construction, or the other road that goes down by Sidecut park where the deer and the fishermen roam… right in front of your car.
Anyways, I know my family in the area will continue to use Fallen Timbers as their main mall, and when I’m around, it’s definitely my choice for shopping.

While yes it us an outdoor mall, it is one of the best shopping options in the Toledo area. Outdoor shopping in Ohio during the winter is actually nice. Gives you an excuse to wear your cute winter coats and hats without having to carry them around while you shop. Plus you pop into stores so you really don’t get cold. During the Christmas season it is charming to stroll around the shops and see the Christmas lights.
For the moms out there; Fallen Timbers has the only Gap Maternity in Toledo!

With not much to do in Maumee, Ohio this place is an oasis! It offers the standard shops you would find at most any mall but the outdoor environment is nice on days that the weather is good. The movie theater is nice because it is off the beaten path of the major cities nearby you can get into showings with ease and find good seats even five minutes before it starts on opening weekend!

Lord knows why developers keep building California-​style outdoor malls in Ohio. April through October, they’re fine. But there’s this little mega-​season in the Midwest called WINTER. Therefore, going outside between the months of November and March is a harrowing ordeal.
Also, driving your ass to this place in the middle of nowhere ain’t fun. Methinks the reason Rave Motion Pictures closed the perfectly fine Maumee DeLux theater was to drive traffic to the theater at this place, conveniently located within walking distance of nothing. Lame.
