Attractions
Pros:
"It’s has everything you can think of: rollercoaster, ice skating rink, snowboarding, and so much more!"
"Nickelodeon Universe’s indoor amusement park is a lot of fun even when the weather is rainy."
"What stood out the most were the numerous indoor activities available—snow skating, snow skiing, a waterpark, gondola rides, mini golf, an aquarium, and much more."
"It's like stepping into a world of endless excitement and entertainment."
"Activities for kids of all ages are available at the mall and you can jump over to watch the Jets or Giants on game day."
"They have so many stores and fun things to do. I loved playing the Angry Birds mini golf and going to the aquarium."
"The attractions are plentiful: Escape the room, mirror maze, Live music, Mini golf, Ice Rink, Pickle ball, Ski, Amusement park, Water park... And the list goes on."
Cons:
"If you don't have enough employees to have all the rides open, then you shouldn't be charging for a day pass."
"I didn't like how the price changed over the course of an hour to get in, just because there was more people buying tickets."
"Half of the rides were down it was a let down we most certainly did not get our moneys worth for the amusement park."
"Many rides were not open to full capacity, making wait time longer due to lack of proper maintenance."
"The attractions were pricey, so for a family of 4, it wasn't possible to do anything extra."
"The only complaint is the prices for activities are on the higher side."
"On this particular date some of the water slide and kiddie area were down for most of the day."

"The stores provide ample shopping opportunities, making it a great place to browse and shop."
"The mall boasts an extensive array of stores, catering to varied tastes and preferences."
"The mall has pretty much every brand you can think of."
Cons:
"Lots of 'coming soon' signs."
"Still large sections that are not open but it’s such a large mall, there is a wide variety and offering to make it a special outing."
"However for being such a large mall, a lot of places are still empty. Shops are noticeably missing."
"Many stores were closed in the high end mall and empty store fronts were covered with a beautiful facade."
"For how big it is I thought there would be a lot more stores, but it seems like their still trying to find tenants."
"Lot of empty stores boarded with some time of art. Empty spaces."
"There are lots of empty shopfronts and areas with empty food places."
Parking
Pros:
"There is plenty of parking, just make a note of where you parked."
"Parking is free for first 1/2 hour then just $5 after for what they call short term parking."
"Parking is cheap, Just $5 for the entire day."
"Parking was easy and 30 minutes free if ya run in and out."
"Parking for the day was only $5."
"Parking fee isn’t that bad. If you come to the mall to shop and don’t have $5 to pay for parking then just don’t come."
"Mall has ample parking (best to avoid game days) nominal parking rate!"
Cons:
"Parking is $5 but parking spots are narrow and I also noticed not many handicapped parking spots available."

"The Calamri friti with zucchini was AMAZING."
Cons:
"Getting a place to sit was challenging on the weekend."
"Only downside is the food area. There are barely any tables, just a bunch of open wasted space."
"However, the place seemed overcrowded, and finding a place to sit and dine was a bit of a hassle due to the sheer number of visitors."
"The food court is crowded and not enough seating."
"The pizza was a little greasy, but good and the drinks were unlimited."
