In all honesty this place is not too bad at all. The trick is to go in the morning. It opens at 10:00am . Even on the weekend ,if you get there early you can get some shopping and other things done without a lot of children all around. It is a great place to do some power walking when it it 100 plus degrees outside. I have been to the Ontario Mills Mall many times as well and i think AZ is nicer and cleaner. There are a lot of really good shops. Off Saks 5th( one of my fav's). There is a lot for kids to do here though. So if you do have young children it is a good place to take them. Just watch them and don't let them run wild. No one likes out of control screaming kids. Lots of food options and movie theaters. I even got my brows waxed here. Plus lots of parking in the lot. All around.
