Huge selection of stores was a plus. However most of them were way too pricey to go into especially with my wild kids. The parking is horrible. Expect to drive for about 30 min to even look for the farthest away parking spots. The walkway in the mall is so crowded with people, it's pretty much shoulder to shoulder. Definitely hang on to your kids! I made my 6 year old hold my hand the entire time in the mall.
I took my kids on a Saturday which I should've known better. I grew up going to the mall over about 35 years ago. It was busy then but not so bad that it'd make me not want to come back. Now it just gave me bad anxiety or maybe that's just old age lol!
I know that the busyness of the mall is a good thing because it's somewhere that people are drawn to and it's great for customers that like everything in one location. But it was just too much for me and I would plan to go there when it's...

I know not all the employees are employed by the mall but I wish they could pick the employees more selectively for each shop. Was greatly disappointed at the lack of service in many of the boutiques as well as the brusqueness of many patrons. If you are heavily into being surrounded by people and don't mind being shoved around, this is the place for you. If you are a parent with small children though, I would not advise. Even trying to avoid the big crowds I was almost separated from my two daughters on multiple occasions.
