Shopping
Shopping enthusiasts will find much to do and see in Lake County. There are large malls with national stores as well as plenty of specialty and antique shops tucked away in the many quaint towns and shopping districts in the area.
Westfield Shoppingtown Southlake Mall in Merrillville, just off U.S. 30 and Interstate 65, has more than 100 shops and four anchor stores. Close by, across U.S. 30, is the Crossings at Hobart. Here you'll find a variety of specialty stores and restaurants to fill you up after a day of shopping.
Look for more power shopping at Woodmar Mall in Hammond and the various shopping plazas in Highland and Schererville.
You'll find more unique treasures, and a slower pace, in downtwon Whiting. Enjoy the locally-owned gift shops, clothiers, and confectionary.
The remnants of yesteryear can be found at the historic Crown Point Courthouse, where both Cassius Clay and Rudolph Valentino were once wed. Now the "Grand Old Lady" is filled with antique and collectible shops that are sure to please. For more antiquing, head south to the town of Lowell. Main Street is filled with over thirty specialty shops offering vintage treasures, fine art, and homemade gifts.
Shop near the lakefront at Miller Beach in Gary for unique artwork and custom gifts. And don't forget to stop by the gift shop at the Indiana Welcome Center on I-80/94 and Kennedy Avenue south in Hammond for unique Indiana souvenirs, artwork and books.
