Not only does Fox Valley Mall offer fun play spaces for your mini shopping companions, but you can grab a Cinnabon and take a load off while nursing in the comfy chairs behind privacy curtains in the family lounge. Besides the private nursing stations, you’ll find a snack machine, children’s play area, cable TV, diaper changing area, diaper vending machine and microwave (in case your sticky bun goes cold).
