Blackhawk Plaza
3380 Blackhawk Plaza Circle. M-Sat 10-8, Sun 11-6.
Landscaped with manmade rivers and waterfalls, the exclusive Blackhawk Plaza shopping center provides a soothing atmosphere in which to shop.
Though the exclusive market that once serenaded its customers with shopping music played live on a grand piano is gone (posh Draeger’s Market has replaced it), exclusive shops here provide a glimpse into the lifestyle of the area's wealthy residents.
