Anyone familiar with the Natick Mall?

Question

I've heard that this is a pretty big Simon Mall. Anyone know who long it would take to get there by car from downtown Boston? And what kinds of stores are there? thanks.

Answer 1

Hi - There is nothing at the Natick Mall that you couldn't find at either Chestunt Hill (Atrium or Mall at Chestnut Hill), Cambridge Side Galleria or Copley. Not worth the drive out there unless you have another reason to go. But if you go, from downtown Boston, it will take you 25-30 mins. You could take Huntington Ave out of town that will turn into route 9. Natick Mall is off route 9 or you could take Masspike to route 30 exit. Off exit take right ramp (rte 30 west) Turn left at Shoppers World and then turn left onto Flutie Pass - Flutie Pass connects Shoppers World to Natick Mall.

It's got the typical Mall stuff - nothing special worth mentioning and nothing you couldn't find right in Boston.

Answer 2

The Mall is very similar to The South Shore Mall, if you're familar with that. If you're driving in a non-rush hour time it takes about 30 minutes. The best way to get there is via the Pike, so try to avoid afternoon travels or your time will double. They are building a new Nordstrom there, so that'll be great. But other than that, the stores aren't too different from what you'd find at any mall.

Answer 3

It is about 25 minutes west of Boston and the Mass Pike (Rt. 90) is the easiest way...however, if you don't want to pay tolls, you can go via Rt.9. It'll take you about 35 minutes that way.

The mall is also right on Rt. 9.

As for stores...your typical Mall stores. I've gotten lucky in the Banana Republic there...I usually find good stuff on sale.

Answer 4

Been there a few times. Pretty big, and getting bigger w/ the addition of Nordstroms in the spring of 2007.

My guess it's 30 mins westbound on the Mass Pike.

BTW, it's not a Simon property.
