Palladio

I love most of the shops but so many have left while we wait for new ones. awe have heard Barnes and Noble is coming as well as more restaurants, keep it family friendly. Love the concerts in the park in the summer.

I really like this shopping area. It has a good amount of stores and restaurants, nice area to walk around especially on a sunny day. From my experience, it hasn’t been too busy either to go shopping compared to going to a mall

I love the Palladio! It’s a great atmosphere and works well for all ages. It’s absolutely adorable to see all the families either go out to dinner or go to the movies. & I really enjoy the shopping center. Everything looks so beautiful and new, the colors are vibrant and the area is spacious. All the restaurants are really great for the most part and the crowd who come shop or just hang out are classy. We’ll dressed, well mannered. If I forgot to lock my car I won’t be so worried. Good people from a first glance perspective.

This shopping center is just SAD. Every time I come here, all I ever see are those old and tired window posters and stores selling the same old, repetitive garbage. I only really come here for H&M since it’s closer to my house. H&M is nice, I think it’s nicer than the one in Roseville, in my opinion. The staff there is okay, they’re usually friendly and somewhat helpful. Selection is decent, I usually find something I like but I rarely buy them because of the poor quality. But hey, you know I can’t resist the bargain-​bin clearance racks. A paper-​thin crummy, see-​thru top for $ 3? Score!
The only highlight to this waste of space of a shopping center is Whole Foods which seems to be the only location getting a lot of customers, and the movie theaters which is probably one of my favorites in Sacramento, and of course Starbucks with their relaxing sofas outside the shop. There is also Charming Charlie, which is well-​hidden somewhere in this sprawling mall but they seem to be doing well and they have great stuff, too. Oh, and the staff? Always super friendly.
The other stores… ehhh… I remember there was a candy store but I never bothered to go in because I was fearful of the prices, another store near H&M that’s supposed to resemble Spencer’s or Hot Topic in terms of merchandise (but with a much higher price tag), a luggage store, spa, some restaurants and…
OH! And there’s the once-​vacant restaurant that was formerly owned by a country singer that’s being turned into Nordstrom Rack (which, according to their Facebook, is going to open by Spring 2016)! SCORE!
Unfortunately, I doubt NR is enough to save Palladio. This place needs more stores in order to draw more customers in. From what it stands now, I doubt it’s not going to survive long enough to pay the bills. It needs stores like Free People, Anthropologie (come on man, are we really going to let Roseville hog this amazing store?), Off Saks 5^th Avenue, a bookstore, TJ Maxx, Last Call Neiman Marcus, Kate Spade, etc.
Someone please, for the love of Folsom, someone needs to step up and save this place. Palladio has so much promise and potential to become a great shopping center. So please… please save it. Palladio needs some love, too.

Really enjoy visiting this place. Very clean shopping area and the restaurants are nice. Customer service in each place we’ve dropped in at have always been friendly and attentive to details. Sure the parking might become a tad difficult, there is a nearby parking garage. Walking around the place is pleasant and nice

I love coming here! There’s always something new to see and during the summer the free concerts are great. Tons of parking, clean bathrooms (there’s a plus!) and great shopping, restaurants and the movie theater can’t be beat.

Although I love this cinema, i must say the price of the popcorn and drinks is a real rip off!

The real test of a shopping center in the Sacramento region is if people will choose it over the Galleria or Fountains. Palladio attempts to peel off local traffic, but with the completion of the Folsom Dam Bypass, many of the area’s wealthier set can simply drive their Tesla to Roseville for their shopping needs.
There are several big draws to its location in south Folsom near Bidwell and 50 including one of the best movie theatres in the region and a very nice Whole Foods. The open air feel is nice, but is often overwhelming during the bad times — heat, rain, smog, smoke. I am obviously not the key demographic for the shopping center, but I would expect most of Folsom may prefer to shop at the Outlets or Amazon these days or stream Netflix in bed instead of a theatre.
Over time, Palladio may attract some more big names — Apple Store, Tesla, Saks 5^th Ave (real not outlet) — to serve the growing 1% bracket in the Folsom area, but it is having trouble keeping big names and is hard to choose over the other air conditioned options in the region.

There are so many great shops here with options for everyone whether it be a movie, dinner, shopping, or entertainment. The area is beautifully landscaped, parking is ample with convenient street spaces as well as a parking garage, and shops and facilities are clean and very well maintained. It’s also a fun place to just come and walk around the area and window shop anytime day or night!

I absolutely love how Palladio is part of Folsom now, even though I’m in El Dorado Hills and used to town center, I think Palladio defines Folsom now. They created a great atmosphere and new shops are opening here and there as time goes back. Now that Victoria’s Secret is here, it just seems perfect. Also, Nordstrom Rack is on its way and rumor has it there will be another movie theater serving alcohol. It’s beautiful, they hold events such as Wednesday night concerts to bring the community together, and it’s awesome running into old friends every time I go to the Palladio. The couple of restaurants are great, too, such as Chicago Fire and Chops.

I really like Palladio which says alot because I dont really enjoy shopping :)
Very easy and convenient to get to. Right off hwy 50 at Bidwell exit.
Palladio is an all outdoor mall that has the feel of a italian or venetian outdoor mall. Complete with water fountains.
Some of the bigger stores would be Nugget Market, Sports Authority, Victorias Secret, HM, Charming Charlie, Claires and Charloutte Rouse. In construction is Nordstrom Rack. Some of my favorite restaurants here are Red Robin, Johnny Rocket, Freebirds, Chicago Fire Pizza, Panera and Bluenami Sushi.
They have a multi level parking garage and some parking along the store fronts.
Lots if great weekly Summer concerts and a favorite photo spot for high school proms.

can i give 3.5 or 3.75 stars? i have mixed feelings about this place. ya OK its nice looking and there are some nice little shops here. but the majority of the place and actual retail space is empty. i am tired of hearing or talking about the economy but this place feels it. at one point this was supposed to be the next walnut creek or quasi rodeo drive? now we have johnny rockets, sports authority and victoria secret.
i really feel for the people who are trying so hard with their small businesses because the rent and structure must be outrageously expensive.
now i do like the $ 5 tuesdays at the movies
i live in sacramento close to arden but come here because i don’t want to get shanked.

I just took my kids and their friends to the «family friendly» music event and one of my kids’ friends (a 6^th grade girl) was approached by security to change her shirt or leave the premises. She was wearing an in style top with low cuts on the sides, full pants, and shoes. She wasn’t causing any kind of the trouble and the one who wanted to go in the first place!
I asked why she had to leave and he said because the General Manager said so and there was a dress code. He pointed in the direction of the sign and I went to read it. It said «proper clothing» and no other specifics besides «shirt» and «shoes». I saw a guy in the same style shirt who wasn’t kicked out and we all know a good portion of the girls were wearing a lot less than her, not to mention the band on stage at this «family friendly» concert barely had pants on! I asked to talk to the General Manager and the security guard said that that’s why she had him and she would not come talk to me. Beyond that, after the event was well over they still pressed us to leave the premises.
I hate to think the worst of people but it really makes me wonder if it had anything to do with her being a slightly heavier set black girl. The evening was ruined by these imbiciles and my kids, their friends and I will never go back to one of these events.

I went here for the first time last week to look around for dresses (which I ended up not finding) but even though I left this place empty handed, I was happy that I came.
If you’re looking for a shopping center then this isn’t the place to go to.
The palladio had very few stores (which most were local) but had an amazing atmosphere surrounding it. The view of the hills and beautiful palm trees and mansions made it more fun to walk around and experience.
I only went to a few select stores like H&M, Sports Authority, Charlotte Russe, Painted and Vertiogo. I suggest going to Painted if you’re a bit artsy and looking at paintings to buy made by the people there. They also have a small selection of clothes there bu the place is mainly for those who want to paint something for the fun of it and take a class. Oh there is also a Cinema there too which was actually quite nice. There is also a TON of parking space (which was great so I didn’t have to fight for a space!)
The highlight of my day there was just looking at the great stores and beauty around the palladio.

This place is getting better and better. I first started coming here about one year ago. There weren’t that many stores then. Now, it seems like more stores are moving in, they’re even getting a Nordstrom rack. If this place was full, it would easily be a 5 star place.

I enjoy shopping at outdoor malls, nice to get outside. Many nice shops with reasonable prices, yet still upscale. On its way to being the next santana row.

This shopping mall will not be a success nor make a substantial profit for the shop renters. Too same similar shops, I mean Boutiques. or Spas. really Not much to see plus you gotta walk and walk finding that out. After three years still many large spaces empty. Rents must be astronomical… Bad city investment. Galleria and Fountains, it is a real shopping destination. The only attraction would be Whole Foods and the Cinema. Has all the trapping of being upscale but the merchandise is shiny colorful eye popping dazzling made in China «stuff» of every color and flimsy material. The big bucks were already made by the corporate office, they made bundle along with the company who won the contract selling and delivering the concrete…

Very nice place but there’s nothing here!!! I know a lot of places might be «coming soon» but even then I still don’t think I’d come back. Just came here to watch a movie and to experience DBox and came almost two hours early to window shop only to walk in circles looking at horrible window posters of potential shops… If you’ve ever been to Victoria Gardens in Southern California, this place could be that but it’s far from it at the moment! It could use a Nordstrom or Macys.

A very cool place to shop! I go to the Palladio at least once a week, either to head for food or to go shopping! I have been to almost every store at the Palladio (aside from Gymboree and a few other stores).
Love the cool events and concerts that they have during the summer too! Enjoy the outdoor events, seasonal promotions (ie Mother’s Day Promos) and many others that cater to family.
The cool attractions include:
1) $ 5 movie night at the theaters
2) whole foods and their bier garden
3) cool restaurants
4) parking structure and electric charging stations
I can’t wait to see how the Palladio grows in a few years. So much potential! Love this place!

Three stars for the shops, zero for this huge rambling center.
You walk huge areas of sides of bldgs here, unlike The Fountains, where you can walk the entire center, see all of the shops, & not feel like you just climbed the Alps. Dear God, this center is huge, and I only walked a small part of it. It is definitely a place that you must drive around, lots of twists n turns, I didn’t like it. Wanted to go to H & M, but it was eons away… guess I’ll hafta grab my hiking boots & return!
This would NOT be a fun place in rainy weather, unless you were a duck.

4 star rating but today, my first time coming here, felt like a 3 star experience. Why? Because of the weather and nothing more. I came here just for H&M since Galleria is even further from my house. But upon arriving here, I can say without a doubt that this place was very beautiful for an outdoor shopping center. If theres one thing about me, it’s that i absolutely HATE outdoor shopping malls. Why? 1) Rain = I get wet. 2) Summer = It’s too hot. 3) Everything just seems so… far away. Yes. Yes. I’m a huge diva. However, I was very amazed how beautiful this place was. If it weren’t for the unexpected rain, I would have enjoyed it more. I wish they had more hiding areas for when rain season hits. Nope. Nothing but open spaces, allowing the rain to catch me. But enough about my complains about the weather. The only store I went to was H&M. And my got. It was BEAUTIFUL.
Pros: H&M was Big. More options than galleria. Very well organized.
Cons: Smaller men department.
Pros: friendly staff and beautiful store.
Cons: Needs more SALES. MAKE YOUR CLOTHES CHEAPER!

Every time I come to this center I also feel like I’m in a posher city or town.
Given the randomness of Sacramento weather this place is only good when the weather is nothing but perfect outside. But, for what it’s worth it’s nice to have a place like this.
There aren’t many regular shops but they do have H&M, Charlotte Russe, and my new favorite Charming Charlie.
This area is highly populated by food places and restaurants.
Also, there is the wonderful theater which is probably my favorite one to go to.

It took almost as long as the founding of Rome for the Palladio to come to full fruition. It stubbornly persisted to become THE shopping center in Folsom despite businesses dropping out and the economic downturn. What it has become today is sort of a mixed bag, but one that has grown on me with every visit.
Pro: It’s an outdoor shopping center. Shops are spread out and far enough apart that you can enjoy a leisurely stroll in the summer sunshine.
Con: It’s an outdoor shopping center. Every trek from one door to another seems like an eternity in the biting winter cold.
Pro: It’s handsomely built, with archways and beautiful fountains.
Con: The horrible music they pump from hidden speakers everywhere is enough to make even the most uncultured among us start screaming.
Pro: They have a Whole Foods, Kirklands, awesome movie theater and great clothing shops.
Con: They have a Toby Keiths.
Pro: Plenty of parking.
Con: Drivers who can’t park.
As you can see, there is a lot to like and a lot to pick apart. I’m giving it four stars because the pros outweigh the cons in my book.
