MARLBOROUGH – Family, fun, and fashion.
Those words are at the heart of everything the Solomon Pond Mall does. Opened in 1996 and conveniently located beside Interstate 290 and Interstate 495 on the Marlborough-Berlin line, the mall understands that when family, fun, and fashion are put together, it’s an often unforgettable experience.
“We’re having it be the place you remember as a kid – a fun place to be. During the holiday season, we’re ramping it up. It’s going to be wall-to-wall fun and excitement,” said Marketing Director Mark Willand. “We love to create that atmosphere. People know they can come here and get free, high-quality entertainment and enjoy a festival holiday shopping experience.”
While the mall is sure to be packed with deals on Black Friday – there’s plenty of spots to shop, places to eat, and things to do – the Solomon Pond Mall has dedicated itself to the idea of “community,” hosting festivals and get-togethers in an effort to become a Central Mass. entertainment destination.
On Nov. 30, for example, head to the Solomon Pond Mall for a (free) Sports Card & Memorabilia Show that will feature over 65 vendor tables, card grading, and visits by several Boston Bruins legends, including hall-of-famer Johnny Bucyk, Bob Sweeney, Don Marcotte and Rick Middleton.
If you’ve been hearing jingle bells around Marlborough lately, it’s because the Solomon Pond Mall recently hosted Santa – and other fan favorites like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Bluey – in an event that drew hundreds of children. “Kid’s Day” is held every third Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Family, fun, and fashion sums it up well. But it’s also about connection, comfort, and community.
“We try to foster the feeling of belonging when you walk in the mall,” said Willand.
A new part of the community is heyKiddos Playtime, a children’s entertainment center that opened in August. The 26,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility is designed to let children “have fun, learn, and explore a world of possibilities through a wide array of creative, stimulating, social, and educational toys.”
“There’s nothing quite like it in the area. It’s very parent-friendly. Parents can relax, they really focus on safety and cleanliness, and there’s the educational part. There’s a learning center within there – you can come in and play educational games. There are places to let kids run, have fun, and learn,” said Willand.
The Solomon Pond Mall is also home to your favorite stores, including Old Navy, an Apple store, Macy’s, Cinnabon, Victoria’s Secret, and Talbots. Regal Cinemas is also located on-site.
