Arundel Mills is a huge shopping mall in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It has a Hanover mailing address. This mall is mostly owned and managed by a company called Simon Property Group.

Arundel Mills is the largest mall in Maryland. It covers a massive area of about 1.9 million square feet. The mall opened in November 2000. It was built by The Mills Corporation. You can find it where Maryland Route 100 meets the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. This location in northwestern Anne Arundel County is how it got its name.

The mall has over 250 stores. It was the first indoor mall to have a Medieval Times dinner theater. Besides many large stores, Arundel Mills also has a Dave & Buster's. There's also the Live! Casino & Hotel and a huge 24-screen movie theater. This theater has an Egyptian theme. It used to be part of the Muvico Theaters chain. Now, it's run by Cinemark.

The inside of the mall is shaped like a "racetrack." It also looks a bit like a boat. Different parts of the mall used to have sponsors. These included Coca-Cola, Comcast, and Toyota.
