This mall is your basic shopping center with nothing special about it. It has it's frequent shoppers/visitors due to the fact that there's really not much else to do when it's hot here in AZ. (which is more time than not). The children's play area is a huge disappointment. This is true only because it doesn't monitor the age and horseplay of the children. Also, it's dimly lit as if hiding the denchy dirt and some of the play slides are actually torn. It would also help if there were two play areas, one at each end. Live entertainment would be nice, if at least on weekends for families. And some water features would help as well. Other than that, it's a bit depressing. A good mall would be the Fashion Square in Scottsdale; except for the fact that some people act as if they're in Beverly Hills; which clearly they are not. Overall, this mall is nothing to write home about.
