Shopping Experience
Pros:
"Many different shops to choose from for whatever you need."
"Prices are actually good compared to the shopping centers."
"Definitely one of my favorite shopping locations."
"This inverted mall allows you to enjoy the weather whole spending time with family and friends."
"For as nice as the location is as well as the stores themselves you might expect it to be on the pricey side but it's not."
"Great assortment of stores at this shopping center!"
"They have plenty of shops for all ages."
Cons:
"There are some nice restaurants there, but they are a little over priced for good but not wonderful food."
"Whoever decided it would be a good idea to have an open-air shopping complex in Pennsylvania (bad weather more than good, and who wants to shop on good weather?) deserves to have a struggling complex."
"Just like all American malls, this outdoor upper class development has fallen from its relevance and heyday."
"The issue is its lack of exciting stores and vast lack of restaurant choices."
"Seems like smaller stores can't sell enough volume to pay the high rents."
"Unfortunately, last time I visited, many shops were empty."
"These aren't bad stores. All name brands, and high end price stores. These stores out of our price range."
Ambiance and Environment
Pros:
"The walkways are beautifully lined with trees that are decorated with tiny little white lights."
"Plenty of outdoor benches and tables, water fountains, flower beds, etc. relaxing with no stress of safety."
"Subtle music playing along the sidewalk while strolling between stores."
"Every corner is meticulously maintained, from the charming fountains to the cozy seating areas, making shopping an experience rather than just an errand."
"The center fountain area gives the center a real heart and focus."
"Strolling between stores feels more like wandering through a beautifully landscaped park than a shopping center."
"Wonderful Quaint Village Like Atmosphere."
Cons:
"Parking is a bit awkward otherwise I would probably be there more often."
"Parking is chronically a problem it's probably the biggest minus of the layout of this mall."
"Parking can be cumbersome. Best to go to the outskirts and walk inward."
"Parking was a bit difficult but it's to be expected."
"Parking can be a problem because the place is usually crowded."
"It's hard to find parking on weekend nights, go early!"
"Love it here but parking is a nightmare especially around the holidays."
Family and Pet Friendliness
Pros:
"The splash park is a really nice feature for little ones."
"Very family and pet friendly."
"Super kid friendly and because of that I find we go more often."
"The Promenade is also such a great place to walk your pups."
"They are dog friendly."
"You can bring your dog, a lot of stores put water bowls outside for dogs."
"If you're a dog lover then the Shops are a must visit!"
Cons:
"May be a little less welcome once it gets cold."
"Only thing I don’t like is the smell of smoke coming from the fire pits."
"Do keep in mind though that it is a hang out spot for teenagers."
"But the Santa this past season was horrible."
"Then lock your dog in your Range Rover or Cayenne and make your way into Melt for a $10 freshly muddled berry mojito. Don't forget about your dog."
"Food selections tend to be few. Mostly upscale. The quicker choices tend to open and close quickly."
"Every time I go to the cinema at this mall, elitist snobs interfere with my experience."
Accessibility and Convenience
Pros:
"Easy parking as well."
"Access from Route 78 is very quick from the rt 309 exit and in recent years traffic patterns have been adjusted to make this place both easy to get into and easy to leave."
"There’s plenty of parking spots available toward the back especially if you don’t find any closer to the buildings."
"Great shopping location and can be easily seen from the highway."
"The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley is a wonderful place to go."
"It’s very convenient and easily accessible."
"Easy to access and quite a few shops I like. Parking is a breeze; walking around feels safe and secure."
Cons:
"Good experience, best if your looking for a long walk as stores are very spread out and the main knock is parking, you will not have good luck trying to drive from one end to the other as its hard to find parking close to where you need to go."
"It would be great if they could add a Saks, Neiman Marcus or any quality department store."
"What a shame.. All the stores are pulling out and the owners don't seem to recognize that their rental rates are too high for Mom & Pop stores to afford."
"Unfortunately the shops have gone the way of many malls."
"It's easy to get lost and it took me forever to find my way back to the highway."
"A lot of the stores before Covid are not there, and the experience isn't the same."
"More and more empty storefronts just prove how the consumer is moving away from brick and mortar retail."
Dining and Entertainment
Pros:
"They have a Cineplex if you'd like to take a longer rest and refresh yourself with expensive junk food."
"Dinner was excellent and the service was superb from the beginning to the end."
"The dining options are nothing short of stellar."
"Great food at Fresh Market. Fine dining at the White Orchid."
"Food at Torre was awesome."
"We recently came to see one of the summer concerts. It was so much fun!"
"The movie theatre is a really nice bonus as well!"
Cons:
"Many restaurants here are also very expensive too."
"A little pricey at $7 for a Havana Nights cocktail with a big square ice cube that is normally $11."
"Top Cut doesn’t have many options either which sucks because their prices are obviously not the lowest."
"The remaining non-restaurant food locations (cosi for example) have terrible customer service and more often than not they mess up my order."
"Little bit costly in the shop's for my money."
"The last time we went to Melt was such a letdown we’re never going there again."
"But they do make it up their free movie showings in the courtyard a few times each month in the summertime."
