Adj: Still Satisfactory and Solid Shopping Site Still a pretty good mall in the Phoenix area. It's technically in Tempe, but it's in the valley so it's all the same, lol... There's so much offered here and really convenient and centrally located. Many different retail stores and restaurants. From clothing to novelty, to toys, shoes, to department stores, it's all here. Plus lots of eateries of all kinds, esp. in the food court area. Several clearance/"outlet" type stores for brand names like Nike too. There are also the movies, a Rainforest Cafe, a Legoland mini-theme-park, plus the Arizona SeaLife Aquarium, so you can definitely spend the whole day here and have so much fun, and find all kinds of goodies that'll lighten your heart and your wallet. Mall staff we saw were working hard at keeping all parts of the mall clean, esp. around the common areas like the bathrooms and emptying out trash cans, etc. at the food court. Individual retail store staff were friendly and helpful too. Overall, a really comprehensive and comfortably curated collection of stores in a clean shopping center environment. Most importantly, you'll get your steps in as this mall is in a vast space and on one floor, so it's quite spread out and you'll do a lot of walking. Thankfully, it's also nicely cool here, perfect for the heat in AZ. read more

The smell from the dog store is horrid especially in the five below next to it. You can also smell it from stores far away from it

I'm sure everyone has heard the rumors about this mall and knows its reputation. It's hard to make an opinion because this mall has so many cool things like Rainforest Cafe, the Lego experience, SeaLife Aquarium, etc. It's a prime place to take your kids because there's so much to do. However, I just can't get past that because this mall is straight FILTHY. There is garbage everywhere, the bathrooms are disgusting and look like nobody tends to them. And I also can't shake the feeling of feeling unsafe just because of what's happened here in the past. It really needs a revamp and then I think this mall could have real potential. But it's kind of just outdated and gross. read more

I gave Arizona Mills a four because there's so much to do at this mall. They have a wide array of shops and restaurants (food court), as well as an IMAX Theatre, Legoland, and the aquarium. There is also an arcade and a carousel in the middle of the mall today they had free interactions with the Easter bunny, and you can take pictures for purchase. They do have nice bathrooms, including the family bathroom however it was locked so you do have to call security to have them come unlock it for you, but someone was there in a matter of minutes. It wasn't dirty, but it could have been cleaner. I also have heard it can get a little bit rough here at night time, but I did not experience that while here around 10 AM to noon on a Saturday. read more

This is a huge family friendly indoor mall with more than 150 retailers including a lot of outlet stores such as American Eagle, Chico's, Old Navyx Levi's and more, 27 dining options including a food court, and a Harkins theatre with IMAX that boasts Arizona's largest and only full size IMAX screen. It's a fun place for kids as they also have the Legoland Discovery Center, Sea Life Arizona Aquarium, Tilt Studio- 40,000 sq ft arcade with more than 150 arcade and video games as well as laser tag and virtual reality experiences. Also, the Rainforest Cafe is always a fun place to eat and shop. The carousel seems to be pretty popular every time I've been here. The one thing I found kinda strange is that they don't have a Panda Express here, haha! I think it's like the only mall I've been to without Panda. Other than that, they have a lot of the typical mall eateries like Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Cinnabon, Dairy Queen, Haagen-Dazs, Sbarro, and Wetzel's Pretzels. They're open everyday from 9AM and is one mile from start to end so it's a great place to get some steps and stay cool during the hot summer months! read more

Bubble Planet (inside AZ Mills Mall) Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome, my family and I brought passes for online using voucher code Bubble15pho Selection: General admission. The value for what we paid was beyond great, I felt like a kid again, I believe had more fun than my younger cousins, every room we walked into was a new experience and they had mini Photo Booth areas, definitely worth it. It's a must for families with little ones, and believe me, as an adult you will love this place. Make sure your phone is fully charged as you will want to take many pics. 10/10. read more

Had a ton of fun here looking around at all the clothes and Knick-knacks available at great prices! Refreshed my wardrobe for spring for way better than I would've done at full sale, and was able to find my size, and saw many others available too, so that's what I love about the outlets. By the way, Margarita at Chico's outlet is a sweetheart!! She was the highlight to my day along with wetzel pretzel! she's so cute and I'm looking forward to shopping with her again. (EDIT) the selection and rare/cute finds were great so I give it as high as I did, but I wouldn't go to this place by myself alone again, so it's a 4. And I went at 11:00am on a Saturday. Aside from that, everything was great. read more

We have a mall back home in California that in the 70's was great now not so much. This ones better. It's clean and fairly full, not a lot of empty space. A good variety of different types of stores and restaurants. My one knock is the floor space in the walking area is crowded with a lot of kiosks. Making you watch your step. Last words...it's cool inside. read more

This is a really nice and big indoor mall with a wide variety of clothing stores and restaurants to browse. It also includes a Harkins theater, aquarium, and Legoland. There's a carousel and train for the kiddos. There's a lot to see and it's a nice place for a walk and some window shopping. Most of the places close at 8pm. It's worth exploring if you love shopping. read more

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that this mall is on the sketchy side, but it does offer a variety of stores, experiences, options in the food court, etc... We've been going to this area specifically to visit Pickle Mall for pickleball a lot lately. On a recent visit, I took my daughter and her friend to the main portion of the mall to grab some food... We entered by the movie theater, looked around the food court, hopped on a carousel ride ($5 per ride), but the girls had fun, and then purchased some Wetzel's Pretzels. I would definitely go back solo but make sure to watch my surroundings. There are quite a few decent shopping options, afterall. Note: I definitely would not let my kids go to this mall without adult supervision. read more

Arizona Mills is a great place to get your steps and explore the different shops. I will say they have evolved over the years with a lot of the larger brands pulling out of this mall, but there enters some other small business type stores. Love the giant circle of layout and even how they've remodeled the food court (looks much better now, more modernized). I wish they would plant a lot more trees to help with the AZ heat and offering shaded areas with parking. But then again, this is the same for most malls that don't have parking structures. read more

I was always under the impression this mall was anoutlet center, but I'm sure I'm wrong as the retailers' prices are pretty much in line with any other retail establishment in the area with a few exceptions here or there. Nevertheless, we're glad to see vast improvements, more retail variety, a myriad of eats, along with old standbys and the new post covid hustle and bustle at this Simon property. But there are some advantages to Arizona Mills as a whole. Among the reasons, it's a great place to take and entertain the kids, go on a cheap date with quite a few junk food counters and grab some decent restos, do some shopping, get out of the sun, or catch an IMAX movie! read more

We walked the mall and were surprised how big it is...grabbed a burger at Johnny Rockets and it was the best Johnny Rockets burger I have ever had. I have eaten at Appr 8 locations. Best service I've had anywhere in years. read more

A pretty standard "Mills" mall. There's a bunch of stores and a lot of walking. Prices are at mall standard.

Love this mall for the diversity of stores, artwork, fountains, and atmosphere. The downside is the bathrooms as they are not very clean and often have an odor. If that improved then this would be a 5-star mall. read more

Arizona Mills - Code of Conduct - Shopping Centers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

It's a typical mall so expect to see mostly clothing and shoe stores. I noticed that many of the stores don't accept cash so be prepared and bring a credit card. Maybe it was due to today being a holiday, but a lot of the eateries like the coffee and pretzel places opened later than the regular business hours or were closed entirely like Fatburger and the Rainforest Cafe. Or maybe there was no reason to open on time because this place had very little foot traffic. Some of the shoe shiners were kind of creepy. One guy kept trying to get me to come over because he "got credit" as long as he talked to me. I don't know what that was about but I didn't stop walking. I was here to visit the aquarium so I didn't stay too long after I was done. read more

This is a great family mall located in Tempe, Az. There are a lot of things to do for kids, including a ln aquarium, Merry Go Round, Arcade, Movie Theater, and Children's Play area. The stores are not " High End", but affordable places to shop, like Marshalls & Forever 21. There is a large Food Court and Restrooms are plentiful. The mall is on one story, with convenient parking. Mask use is enforced. read more

We love this mall! It's so massive and filled with so many stores and food places. Plenty of rides and things to do. Aquarium, theater, legoland, everything! Loved the food court and the many options. During a weekday it wasn't busy at all. The only complaint is the bathrooms. They need cleaned better. They smell horrible and they're so gross. But the rest of the mall was clean and nice read more

Looks of stores but wish more food options. It was a good exercise and out of the heat

Nice and clean. Very busy and found all we needed. Went Father Day and enjoyed the mall.

I started going to this mall since I was 13 years old, now I'm in my 40s. The whole shopping centre has definitely made a HUGE CHANGE! I started by going to the Food Court, went to Sbarros it was definetely a HIT! Then I went to Harkins to see Love Hurts, movie was great, kinda scary. Then I went to Lids, Nike. Service was 10/10. I went to the Lego store, and just started to get bunch of legos, I almost spend $1,000 in there. *crazy* Then I went to Rainforest Cafe, it was okay there?? Definitely going. to start shopping here again like I used to! read more

We were visiting Arizona from overseas and came across Arizona Mills. 95% of the mall is amazing, a great range of shops. Did lots of shopping and also enjoyed the Legoland and SeaWorld additions. Only sour note - avoid the dermalactives kiosk like the plague, they are horrible people who pressure you into buying and take advantage of the younger demographic (we watched for a bit after my teenager was sucked in by them). A bit sad that Arizona mills never replied to my emailed complaint about that kiosk. Otherwise we would have had a great time here. read more

It's true this mall one of the renowned in the area however when it comes to shopping criteria, it'ssomething else. The mall is large and includes tens and tens of shops nevertheless it lacks the leading retails departments such as Macy's and JC PENNY. The ambiance is not vibrant and the floor needs renovation in some areas I give a credit to this property for having H&M, IMAX theatre and an ample parking. My review doesn't mean it's a NO to this mall however it's not going to be my first choice to shop for sure. read more

This mall is very well maintained. It's very clean with lots of shopping options. The food court is very clean with lots of options to eat and drink. Very reasonably priced.

Idk why this mall has such terrible ratings :( Sure, this mall could use a makeover but it's really not as bad as people are making it out to be. It def looks run down, but there's lots of great stores & great deals here that make up for it! The only reason people think it's "ghetto" is because it doesn't look like all those upgraded shopping malls. I've never had a bad experience coming here with the customers or employees and I come here regularly! If anything, Scottsdale mall is way too congested and if I just want something simple I just come to this mall to avoid the craziness of the crowds! read more

I hit a lot of Simon Malls around the country for gift card deals. Found myself in AZ the day before Thanksgiving and wanted to purchase their Black Friday deal. Rolled in to find the service desk unmanned with no sign of when they'd return. I called the number shown at the counter and got mall security, and they came and didn't have any idea either. After 30 minutes, a couple of kids lazily returned from their break... all the workers at the same time during business hours. I wish that was the end of it, but this untrained staff had no idea how to sell the gift card promo and had to video call their boss to be walked through it. This is after they arrogantly told me they know how to do it and then didn't. The 5th card I tried to buy wouldn't activate on their end so I only left with 4 cards. When I got home I found out the 4th card they gave me was the wrong one. And the 5th card they couldn't get to activate? It was the same card they sold on the 4th transaction. So after spending an hour at this mall on Wednesday, I'm back here on a Friday for an hour trying to solve this mess. And I have a flight to catch! read more

We came here in hopes to find something to wear for a concert and um what a mistake. I was not expecting anything above average of course but um anything decent would have done. Instead I found most stores closed. Super dirty floors. Lack of AC. Lots and lots of people. Due to the absence of stores, well the ones that were open had a lot of people. Needless to say, I do not recommend this place. There should be better options in the area. read more

This Mall has changed drastically!!! I haven't gone here in years!! There are still the young 10-16 yr old kids hanging out with their friends which, is cute as they weren't causing any trouble but were just walking around and hanging out talking amongst themselves. They look like babies...too cute!!! (Remembering when my kids were that small and I'd drop them off with money to hang in the mall for an hour or 2). Kids were good kids back then and these kids were actually being very good kids. The stores inside are all well lit and the parking lot has high tech security services which was a surprise ... they sit outside in high towers and roam the lots and mall making one feel safe, going to their vehicles. It was nice to stop there to meet up with pals and sit in the food court chit chatting. Honestly, I'm surprised that this Mall is even still there but glad that they cleaned it up. I also noticed that they have the cutest motorized motorcycle bikes for kids to ride in the mall along side their parents. It was the cutest thing ever. Awee I noticed that they have electronic charging stations in the parking lot for electric cars to charge up. You are now able to charge your Teslas,Kia V6 and Alfa Romeos here I'd definitely go again as it's not crowded and a good place to walk around indoors for exercise since it's not too big and definitely not crowded read more

They've updated this mall since I was here a year ago. It seemed cleaner and had an upbeat vibe. Lots of new stores (hippie shop & a Karma shop) and a new fresh juice shop and A YoYo yogurt. I did notice that most of the shoe stores were geared towards men or both genders. I enjoyed the walk around. I was sad to see the nutrition store gone and the sports store. JC penny's is gone and so is BeBe sport. But Vickie Secrets is going strong. Chicos is still there; As was my favorite metaphysical gem store. Yes Wentzel's pretzel still has a wait line. Oh lest I forget, the iMax and movies are still in season. They even have a CBD store on both sides of mall. Pretty appealing for everyone's tastes. I like to come for the walk, a snack and of course shopping! read more

Decided to come to mall to do some shopping. Our son, age 22 months was playing in children's play area. 2 unattended boys decided, the area was a parkour playground. Jumping on equipment the entire time. Luckily, my husband prevented them from hitting my son. Security should be watchful for this behavior, not just the shoplifting that happens. Hopefully, parents will teach their children not to do this. Otherwise, the nearby malls, Chandler Fashion and Tempe Marketplace don't have this sort of behavior, in the play areas. read more

My second time here at the Mills, an indoor outlet shopping mall that houses a few 'anchor' stores such as Old Navy, H&M & F21, with a Legoland Discovery Center & two theaters - Harkins & IMAX...which were not open during my visit 4/10/2021. No Food Court, yet one full-service restaurant called Rainforest & handful of drinks, snacks & pretzel vendors. There are no communal seating options due to C-19. Easy access from US 60 & I-10. read more

This is not a good choice if you are handicapped like my wife and I. We had gone here to visit a couple of shops in particular, one being Ross. After cruising the lot for a few minutes it became apparent that they do not welcome handicapped people near Ross. There were 10 handicap places near a mall entrance, but none near Ross' entrance. I finally dropped my wife off in front of Ross and found the closest handicap parking by the aquarium. Ross was absolutely slammed with only two cashiers and a line snaking through the children's department. We were looking for dog clothes for our 3 pound yorkie because we had found one here before that she liked. After cruising the pet section it looked like they stopped carrying pet clothes. Stay tuned. Disappointed, we walked through the rest of the mall finding a nice $3 dog toy at D&D. We also found some great deals at Dickies. Anyway, after deciding to go back through Ross to leave my wife decided she liked one of the dog toys they had. They had opened all registers and the line moved quickly. Lo and behold, all of the pet clothes were on a rack at the very end of the checkout line. With no time to browse without holding up the line, we had to come away disappointed but at least we now know they still carry pet clothes. Walking out we left by the aquarium and decided to visit it next time instead of wasting time with the rest of the mall - except maybe dickies. read more

Variety of stores, but the state of the restroom is unacceptable. I got there when they first opened and they were still a hot mess. That leads me to believe that they didn't clean it when they closed the day before. As far as the stores... I love Crocs, all of the outlets, the crystal store (Black Market I think) and the exercise you get from walking the mall. read more

It's been a while since I went to AZ Mills and I remember why I didn't go often. Sadly there really isn't anything here that I cannot find other places closer. There are outlet stores and not very many of them. They do have the SEA LIFE aquarium place which I remember was not that great but a cool place to check out if you haven't been. Now, what I DO like is you do get some really great deals on the things you do find. I just really wish there were more stores. The Rainforest Cafe is pretty neat to eat at as well if you have never been. Overall, there is great deals but you have to look for them and there isn't a big selection of stores. read more

My kids and I stopped by on a Tuesday morning to check out this mall. What a fantastic place! While they might consider bringing back the water bottle filling stations, I was pleased to find the bathrooms quite clean and the overall layout of the mall very orderly. Although the Disney Store mentioned online is no longer there, the food court offers a variety of great options and the kids play area is definitely a highlight. read more

As many shootings have happened at this mall I can't believe it's still open. The exits are always cluttered and most of the employees for the mall as security are unprofessional and rude read more

Every time I've gone here I've been able to find really good deals. That being said... Any female walking in here alone or just with a friend should be careful and aware of their surroundings. My coworker on Saturday morning was followed around the mall by two men who eventually came to talk to her and wouldn't stop touching/groping her. She luckily found someone to walk her to her car (Marshall's security) and the two men stood watching her leave outside of the mall. This is not the first time this has happened and men often creep on women here. It's a great mall for groups just be aware at all times if you go alone! Creepy men. Not sure what the mall could do to help but it is something to think about. read more
