The main reason I go to the Vancouver Mall is for the pet store. I like the fact that it is privately owned, not one of the two Biggies (Petco & Petsmart). I have a few exotic pets with special diets and I am able to find things here that I cant get at the Biggies. You can tell they take care of their display animals, the ones there month after month. Some of the employees of this pet store are so helpful and friendly, but a couple of them are downright cranky and rude. I think the worst is some sort of co/owner/manager. I avoid the pet store when he is working. Their cricket sizes tend to be more consistent than the Biggies, but run smaller - i.e. their small is Very small, so for a large, ask for an extra large or adult. If they arent the right size, dont hesitate to ask for a different size - unless it is the cranky employee. :) He will do it, but he may scowl the whole time. There are exceptions, but the employees in the smaller stores tend to be bored and distracted. I frequent the Starbucks, and have been in the Teavana and the employees in these establishments are almost always very friendly and helpful. The Teavana is worth a visit, even if you arent a tea drinker. Probably, the biggest draw in the Mall is the movie theater and Ive heard good things about it, but have not been in there myself. One of the treats I like to give myself when I go to this mall is at a kiosk between the Starbucks and the Food Court. It has all sorts of nose and ear jewelry for very good prices. It is run by a shy oriental lady who I have become acquainted with by my frequent visits. She will adjust your jewelry to fit perfectly if you ask, and she is good at it. Its the only place I have found nose studs I like and that fit my tiny nose - and for which you dont have to pay a kings ransom! There is a small public library on the second floor. I think its very cool, but it is a little crowded for a powered wheelchair. The restaurants in the Mall are very limited, but there is the food court on the second floor and the usual restaurants around outside the Mall-- like Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or Sharis. In the Mall, there are cafe tables with chairs here and there, especially near the Cinnabon, Starbucks, and Pretzel places on the first floor. Last time I was there, there were some couches and overstuffed chairs in one of the intersections - great for people watching. The restrooms are huge and very handicap friendly. There is a very large, and comfortable, family lounge next to the Womens bathroom that is a godsend for nursing moms with other children. All of this is at the end of a long hallway at the back of the Food Court. Also at the back of the Food Court is this bungee jumping attraction that most kids love. They get strapped into a harness and allowed to jump and do any flips and tricks their bravery allows. There is an elevator near the Food Court area, another plus for mothers with strollers and the handicapped, and escalators for the rest. Handicap parking is always a challenge when the Mall is crowded, but when none is available you can always park in one outside a department store, like Sears, and go through the store to the Mall proper. The Vancouver Mall, is a small, one-big-hallway, mall. It is pretty standard, as far as malls go, but it makes a cool get-away on a hot day, or a nice break from a small apartment. Its a safe place to drop your teenagers for a snack-and-movie date night.

Its not a very big mall, but it has some things that I just cant get anywhere else. I go here mostly to buy clothes and I frequent Macys and Mens Warehouse when I do. Also, Regis has the best hair stylists that Ive ever seen. This is the only place I get my haircut. The mall itself has a good selection of stores and places to eat. Additionally, there are a lot of other stores surrounding the mall. If you cant find what youre looking for here, chances are that youll find it at one of the stores less than a block away. Parking is really good here. Even at its busiest, I can always find a good parking spot. The new transit station was just finished at the end of the parking lot and I think that did a lot to help with the parking situation. This is a pretty good mall. I come here all the time and plan on continuing to come here. It doesnt have absolutely everything I want, but its better than driving all the way down to Cascade Station, Jantzen Beach, or the Washington Square Mall. The Vancouver Mall doesnt seem to be part of a large chain (Washington Square is a Westfield Mall, for instance), so they dont have an app. They have a pretty good website, though, and the mall is laid out well and has directories everywhere.

Ive really enjoyed this mall especially if you have little ones There are several reasons why I like this mall. For starters, it has a great food court and a little frozen yogurt shop. It also has Jimmy Johns, Cinnabon, and two pretzel shop in different areas of the mall. It even has a snack shop, sort of like a little 7-11. !!! :) I love it. Oh, it also has a sushi track and a Mexican restaurant inside where you can sit and get served. It also has a library and infant play area. The library has different events like baby storytime for infants and toddlers and preschoolers. The infant play area is great. Its spacious. My infant loves it. He jumps up Everytime he sees it and the parents are kind. It also has a used kid store, where you can buy clothes, books, toys, etc for a really affordable price. Its better than goodwill because it just has more options for kids and good learning toys, like Melissa and Doug. However, you would probably do well getting "new" stuff for just the same price at old Navy or even jc pennys with all the big sales they have going on. It also has sees chocolate. The staff there are always so nice and helpful.

Its a nice mall. It isnt the biggest, but it is a fun one to visit. They have a number of places for kids to be entertained. They have a little playground area, a train you can ride on the second floor, some animal scooters, and more. My son likes to go to the library they have for story time and then goes and sees the animals at the pet shop. The cinteopia is nice and the restaurants are decent. My major complaint used to be the lack of steps to the first floor near the food court and movie theater. However, they recently I stalled steps to make things easier. It helped a lot. Other than that, its a mall with a bunch of shops. Just for reference, parking tends to be decent on the north end and a little full on the south end during the busy times. The east side by the JCPenney is usually the best.

They need more restrooms and escalators, they have limited hours especially on Sunday, its always too warm in there for me, their toilets are often dirty, they dont have much to offer as far as places to smoke cigarettes and have minimal seating in those areas, there is a lot of crime there, parking is overcrowded and most of the stores are overpriced. On the bright side they have a lot of stores, most of the mall is kept pretty clean, they are up to par on security, they are conveniently located, the C-Tran buses connect to many places, it is visually acceptable in general, they have a cinema even though its overpriced, they have a convenience store that accept EBT and its a pretty big place.
