The Atrium is nice little upscale shopping mall, which happens to be particularly good to take kids to. Conveniently located right on Route 9, there's a large parking garage underneath, and there's even complimentary valet parking out front.
There's no food court, but the ground floor has a Bertucci's (pizza), a Cheesecake Factory (casual American), Le's Vietnamese Cuisine, and a deli if you're not in the mood for full waited on service. All are fine options for eating with little kids.
Then there are the many stores for kids clothes: J. Crew has their new Crew Cuts section, there's a Gap Kids and a Baby Gap, Janie and Jack has more expensive kids clothing, as does Benetton, and my favourite is babystyle on the top floor.
The Borders has a large kids book section, and there's also a cafe to sit and get a muffin or piece of cake with your little ones. The Pottery Barn Kids is perfect for decorating your children's bedrooms.
The mall is set up as, surprise, an atrium! This makes it fun for little kids, especially during holiday season when it's decorated nicely. It's a large open space with glass elevators to view all the levels from as you rise or descend, and escalators to astound your toddlers.
