Everyone should walk through a half abandoned mall at least once in their life! It actually makes a really great date location. You can spend an hour just walking around this place, reminiscing on the 90s decor and speculating about what used to be in each storefront. No one is going to look at you funny if you decide to go down the slide in the play areas lol. Its practically free, but really memorable. Theres a pretty cool arcade downstairs. For $10 you get unlimited plays on the machines. Its a bit less for a few hours. Its a great alternative to places like 16 bit if drinking isnt exactly your thing. Once again, great for a date night. Im not sure why people are complaining about sketchy characters. Most of the people there are kids or adults going to the arcade. Not exactly a normal looking clientele but by no means threatening. A little loud maybe. There where two kids longboarding when I was there. Security is actually pretty good and a guy on a Segway was there within a few minutes. He was going to escort the kids out, which seemed more than fair to me, but the guy ran off. I would have called the cops at that point but I didnt stick around to see what happened. Really disrespectful and an injury like that is all it would take to close the doors on a place like this. Things are a tiny bit rundown. It had rained for a week straight when I went and there were buckets under leaky spots in the roof. The bathrooms arent upkept very well. Lighting is kept to a minimum and air handlers are not ran as frequently in empty portions of the mall. All this said, things are fairly clean and graffiti free. A few small leaks are the extent of the structural issues. The mall business is tough. With the tri-county mall maybe 10 minutes away, I dont see this place ever competing in the traditional sense. the simple fact that this place has stayed open is a testament to the owners resourcefulness. There are a few shops here with a dedicated clientele. A kohls was just opened too and a bass pro has been here for a long time, so maybe things could pick up a bit. The owner should think about using the vast parking lot or parking garage for a cars and coffe; those are really taking off. I feel like this would be a perfect place to have youth shut in events. There are definitely some more ways to use this underutilized space without ruining the nostalgia! Go, check it out! Dont expect a busy mall with a bunch of stores. If thats what youre looking for, tri-county mall is a short drive from here. Just go in with a curious mind and enjoy yourself!

We took a photo with the remains of a Starbucks, and a security guard tried telling us we cant take photos in the mall in an extremely rude manner. Perhaps to cover up the fact that everything is run-down and dorty, but way to scare off the few customers you have left. Its also not posted anywhere that we could see going through 2/3 the mall that photos are not allowed, so I suppose they just enjoy employing scumbags that like power-tripping when they work at an empty mall as a security guard. Arcade Legacy is the only good thing about this mall, and they have two other locations, so we wont be returning.

When I was younger, my grandma would walk around with me and we would go to their grocery store, the Claires, toys "R" us, the discount movie theater and many more of their store fronts but now all that is open is Bass pro, Kohls, and their arcade (which is HORRIBLE) The only reason I am giving it 5 stars is because of how it used to be. I love that mall.

Love visiting because this mall was so cool and had so many memories such as Wonderpark and Johnnys toys. I think the idea for it being like Cincy was so cute and it makes me so sad to see it turn into shambles. I really hope this place could get back into business because the mall itself is so neat! I miss it.

Mall security was the most disgusting man I have met to this day. We were insulted continuously, threatened to get the cops called on us for NOTHING, and forced to leave this awful mall. Theres apparently been a few complaints on this man so why even keep him around.

Terrible waste of money. This mall is huge and almost entirely empty. Bass pro shop and babies r us are the only remaining stores. At the very least the rent should be dropped so somebody could use the space. As it is, its just sitting wasting away.

Nearly empty save for some worthwhile stores. Arcade Legacy is a cool place to visit, not to mention Bass Pro Shop. Walkers use the place for laps. Interior design itself is neat but there are obvious signs of disrepair. Badly needs restoration.

It depends on what like. At this point the mall is almost completely empty but it still has a few places left. Also if you are looking for a place to take a walk thats inside this is a great place to do so.

No stores other than a few anchors (Kohls, Bass Pro, Babies R Us) but these stores cannot be accessed from inside the mall. A fun place to take children and let them run around, however.

This place is absolutely amazing to walk around in and goof off. The only reason it has four is because some of the security there arent exactly friendly.

This so called mall sucks! Nothing but empty places so dont waste your time. Tri County mall has way more shopping and is less than a mile away

Very sad...lots of empty stores. We shop ped at Kohls which is a great place to shop. Not sure what other stores are open

99% of the stores are closed but is nice a peaceful to walk around. This place was one of the best when it was "alive".

Mike Meding

If you are looking for a place to play with your kids, or a nice arcade place, this is your spot

Extreme baseball academy was a disappointment. And the stores were closed. I slipped on a condom
