About Us

A Halloween-themed display with pumpkins and decorations.

On the northern edge of Tempe, where Rio Salado Parkway meets a stretch of shaded walkways and fountain plazas, Tempe Marketplace has earned a 4.6-star rating from more than 22,000 visitors. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. It happens because this place actually delivers on what most shopping centers only promise: a reason to stay longer than you planned.

The layout is built for wandering. Tree-lined paths connect boutiques to casual dining patios to entertainment zones, with shaded seating tucked throughout so the Arizona heat stays manageable. Shoppers call it an oasis, and that word keeps showing up in reviews because it fits. The music playing softly overhead, the misters cooling the walkways, the kids chasing each other through open plazas while parents linger over coffee, it adds up to something genuinely relaxing.

Tempe Marketplace draws ASU students, local families, and visitors from across the Valley who want more than a transaction. They come for a full afternoon or evening, mixing retail therapy with a meal, a movie, or just a long walk with good company. It is the kind of place that earns a spot on the weekly routine.

What We Offer

The retail lineup at Tempe Marketplace covers everything from national fashion chains and specialty boutiques to electronics, home goods, and athletic gear. Whether you are refreshing your wardrobe, hunting for a gift, or picking up something specific, the store mix is broad enough that most visits end with a full bag.

The dining scene is where the Marketplace really stretches out. Sit-down restaurants, fast-casual spots, and grab-and-go options ring the property, covering cuisines from American comfort food to Asian, Mexican, and beyond. Outdoor seating with shade structures makes dinner or lunch feel like an event rather than a pit stop.

Beyond shopping and eating, the property hosts live entertainment, seasonal events, and family-friendly activations throughout the year. A movie theater anchors the entertainment side, and the open plaza areas regularly fill with weekend crowds drawn by performances and community gatherings. Parking is free and plentiful, making the entire experience low-friction from the moment you arrive.

"Tempe Marketplace is a great outdoor shopping and entertainment place in Tempe. It has a wide variety of stores, restaurants, and fun spots to walk around. The atmosphere is very lively with music, lights, and nice seating areas, making it perfect for family, friends, or just hanging out. There are many food options from fast food to sit-down restaurants, and it’s especially nice in the evening when it’s cooler. Parking can get a little busy on weekends, but overall it’s a clean, safe, and enjoyable place to visit. A perfect spot for shopping, dining, and spending time outside in Arizona."

"This is an OASIS in the desert! A lovely relaxing place to rejuvenate amongst small shops, entertainment areas, and eateries. I enjoyed the small seating spaces that are shaded by trees and umbrellas. The many eateries have various price points from casual snack shops to upscale high end restaurants. Parking is difficult near the shops, but generally easy to find if you are willing to walk a short distance. Overall I found this outdoor mall to have a wide variety of shops where there is something to be found for everyone. One of my favorite places to hangout & shop in AZ."

"My Go‑To Spot for Shopping, Food, and Family Fun Tempe Marketplace is one of my absolute favorite places to spend the day. The shop selection is fantastic, and I especially love coming here for clearance shopping—you can always find great deals. There’s also a ton of fun activities happening all the time, which makes it perfect for families. The food options are amazing, too. Some of my favorite restaurants are right here, so it’s easy to grab a great meal before or after shopping. I also love that everything is in one place—whether we’re catching a movie or looking for something fun to do together, it’s all right here and super convenient. If you’re looking for a spot that has great stores, great food, and plenty of entertainment, Tempe Marketplace is a must‑visit. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful marketplace, active, just beautiful. Good store choices. I didn’t like that in almost every store I walked in there were tiny bugs. In racks on clothes, a tiny green bug stuck to my arm in one store. I didn’t purchase a thing, as if bugs are on items, they are probably coming home with me. No thanks. Interesting enough, that walking outside wasn’t a problem. The stores have bugs. It’s not appealing at all. Please note, I’m sure there’s many more that I wasn’t able to see. Unfortunate."
