Its a small mall, but the only one in the area. To be honest i prefer to going to Syracuse and shop at Destiny... The main issues i have with this mall is the lack of constancy.. There are always stores coming and going, but most of them only last a year.. The anchor stores are decent, but in the case of Sears and Bon-Ton they are run down and in desperate need of renovation. The mall defantly has a broken feel because of the different additions over they years. And the parking lot needs a major fix.. The biggest pain is the lack of wifi or decent phone connectivity.. Well i take that back there is Clarity Connect but they charge for it.. For some reason when you enter the mall my service will drop to nothing from 4 bars of 4G.. If you want to use wifi there is a charge for it.. I have a Note II and after an hour in the mall my battery will be drained to about half, because of the flaky signal.. Destiny besides having a larger and better selection of stores has free wifi throughout.. I would recommend that if you have a car make the trip to Destiny, esp since they are upgrading the movie theater to an iMax.. Update: Im dropping my rating from 3 stars to 1. The only real stores in this mall are the anchor store which also seem to be dwindling.. save your time and go to Syracuse.

Reviewing the mall itself, not the shops: Its decent enough, easy to navigate and access, and the staff does a good job keeping it clean and in good repair. The mall is easy to get to by car, and there is a TCAT bus stop right outside the Bon Ton area. There is one big downside: They quite frequently allow vendors to set up tables along the walkways, so its difficult to walk through without being solicited by people selling insurance, candles, tupperware, etc. In my opinion the people who lease shops in the mall should be annoyed by this, because the table vendors detract from their business and probably cause customers to leave the mall sooner.

Fewer and fewer stores of note. Pet store, jewelry store, Radio Shack just a few are gone. You would think they would cater to wealthy college students. Someone decided to strategically place a mixed martial arts training center, leading to the body odor wafting over the food court as I eat my teriyaki. Recent summer rains. Management didnt warn workers of flooding so they could move their cars. Many totaled. Too dark at night due to closed stores and lack of corridor lights and dark paint. Only the Commons is more annoying.

This is a nice smaller footprint shopping mall, but plenty big for the area, good anchor stores like Target and Best Buy, also if your looking to adopt a new cat or kitten, the SPCA annex of Tompkins County is located in the mall, the staff is very friendly and they usually have on of the best selections of cat waiting to go home. The mall food court isnt anything special, and would greatly benefit from the wide range of restaurants in the Ithaca area if some would open up there.

This is a great mall for a quick run to Victorias Secret or Target but it does not have much to offer beyond the basics. It is a small mall, a bit run down but well maintained so it is clean and inviting. It has only the larger name shops, and would be difficult for any big shopping trips. For holiday shopping, back to school or special event, you are better served going to Syracuse. While they have the stores here, they are not well stocked with the newest trends or items.

Lots of Great Stores and Entertainment Dicks Sporting Goods is a great place for swimming essentials such as goggles, ear plugs, caps, bathing suite. The Vitamin Store (across from Old Navy) has great two for one deals on many products, a huge saving. Best Buy is our ol dependable source for local electronics. Regal Cinema features most of the "big" movies.

The Shops at Ithaca Mall are varied and easily accessible, and include a Target supermarket, a food court, a Spencers Gifts, an Ulta Cosmetics outlet and salon, a Regal Cinemas location, and much more. Whether youre birthday or holiday shopping or simply need a place to browse around, The Shops at Ithaca Mall are great places to spend some time.

It has some stores, I guess? If I didnt have to come here, I wouldnt. It is truly one of the saddest places to which Ive been. Every time I go here, I feel depressed for the rest of the day. Also, theres this little childs ride-on ice cream truck, and it sporadically giggles, and WILL scare the heck out of you, especially if its nighttime.

Good selection of stores, pretty clean bathrooms, however I would say security shoukd be a little bit more attentive to who hangs out in theor lounge areas, as I know several people, myself included, that have been harassed by people who just hang out here. The attitudes of theor office staff who answer the phones could be better too.

I bought lunch in Akashi in the food court at the Ithaca Mall. The guy that took the order and cook also didnt speak English. About the food he went to the neighbors restaurant and picked up the rice and the "vegetable" included was only cabbage. I think they can make better. Its is a joke "Hibachi" expensive and flavor are not good.

The closest mall to Ithaca and Cornell, and it has a good mix of nice inline stores and good anchors (Dicks Sporting, Target, Best Buy). It also has a decent movie theatre, so definitely worth a check if you are in Ithaca and need things. Could use an upgrade to the food court and I definitely miss the old arcade there though.

An okay small mall. Some convenient options, but nothing super fancy. Check out the SPCA Annex for adorable kitties, and the gift store full of Andes alpaca stuff. Honestly, the only reason I ever go there, though, is for Target or the movie theater. It is never busy, except for college student move-in time in late August.

you can get different stuff in one roof..Old Navy, Target, ,Ulta beauty, Best Buy, Victoria Secrets, Bath & Body works, Bonton, Claires, Foot-locker, Saloons & more. Regal movie theater is also there. Nice small food court with different cuisines inside the mall. Bjs is also close by. Public transport is very frequent.

The only redeeming quality here would be the target but once youve visited target then the rest of the mall is a bust. All the shops are weirdo kiosk type stores that close after two weeks of being opened. But if youre looking for an Indian sarong or inflatable donkey then this mall is your kind of place.

Its a nice mall overall. Target, Best Buy, and Regal Cinemas are great, and the food court is ok. The arcade is sort of small and sad, maybe stay away from it. The Ithaca mall is nice overall, great for a one-time outing with friends, but dont stay here long because it will get boring fast.
