My family is from Wichita, KS. We have been to The Parks at Arlington twice now and find it to be a wonderful mall. It's got a movie theater, skating rink, carousel, and children's soft play area for entertainment. The play area is based off of characters from the Golden Books stories (Scuffy the Tugboat, The Shy Little Kitten, Tawny Scrawny Lion, etc...) It made it a unique play area. Both our 8-month-old and 2.5-year-old enjoyed it!
As far as shopping, it has a nice selection of children's apparel - Gymboree, The Children's Place, Gap Kids, The Disney Store, and more. It gives a little variety in department stores with JCP, Sears, Macy's, and Dillards. And, it has a nice selection of women/men's apparel, bath & beauty stores, jewelry, shoes, sport/fitness, and accessories. There's also the typical mall food selection. Nice restaurants can be found near the mall.
Pros: Entertainment. Selection of stores.
Cons: One location of restrooms for the whole mall (other than in dept. stores)
