Sorry I couldn't give a better rating. Had I been shopping alone or with girlfriends I'm sure it would have been MUCH better, however an angst-ridden teenage boy's experience prohibits me from rating it higher.

I agree with other reviewers that it definitely is up-scale and so are prices. The stores are not typical shopping mall stores, they are up-scale stores. We were not dressed "to the nines" nor did any of the clothes we were wearing come from stores such as these and we definitely felt under-dressed for our shopping excursion.

From my children's perspective the above mentioned teenager was upset that there was no video game store such as EB Games or Gamestop. Equally upsetting to him was the fact that there was also no FYE, Buckle, or Hot Topic.

I was also traveling with an almost 13 yr old girl who was delighted to find her new favorite stores Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and American Eagle. And if I remember correctly, they were all right in a row.

I noticed that the food court, though there were several options, didn't seem to have as many different choices as I would have expected from a mall that size. The Cheesecake Factory is a positive addition to any mall, but we opted not to dine there.

There are a couple of bonuses to this mall. My son has discovered "geocaching" (look it up online) which is essentially a treasure hunt. There is a cache right on the mall property though we were unable to locate it. The other bonus is the Doubletree Suites hotel which is located literally right next to the mall. If you are traveling in from out of town and need a place to stay...this is IT! Enjoy!
