Happy to see this mall is still surviving even though half of the retail and food stores are already closed. Still there are few high profile places still around like Uniqlo, Starbucks, Chick fil a, Panera Bread, Macy's Backstage, Old Navy, those still bring bunch of visitors to the mall on daily basis. Mall is relatively clean, restrooms are well maintained. Parking lot is huge, spots available all around the mall.
A completely different experience compared to GSP, Bergen Town Center, and Riverside... and I don't mean that in a good way. I remember coming to this mall as a child and having a blast. I came by yesterday on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty dead. I couldn't help but feel sad while I was walking through. It's like watching a very slow death... There's very limited shopping and dining options. Most of the stores have closed down. The few stores they do have are mostly smaller brands. The food court is mainly empty. There's just not much to DO here anymore. I'd say it's worth shopping here if you're only looking for a few items and want a very quiet shopping experience. No crowds, no parking issues, no long lines, no hassle. There's some notable brands like Macy's, Bath & Body Works, Old Navy, Sephora, Victoria's Secret, Ulta, Uniqlo, and Stew Leonard's. They have a Chick-fil-A and Panera. I really hope Paramus Park can return to its former glory.
I thought this small is very small because it has 2 levels and not that big. It is not that busy and crowded as other malls like the Westfield. There is a statue called "The Wild Turkey" on the 2nd level representing the mall, which consists of a Native American boy sitting on a big turkey. It looks very cool and very brown. The food court is kind of small in my opinion with Nori Japan, Chick fil A, Ray's #1 Pizza, Nathan's, and Cuban Eddie's to name a few. There are many seats throughout the whole food court. There is a mini playground area on the 2nd level for your kids to play in, which is in the food court area. There is also a paid playground called "Go Playland", which takes up most of the 2nd floor. I didn't see it quite busy the time that I went. It has slides and floor mats for obstacles to run and fool around in. Going to bring my daughter to this play area next time I'm there.
The last time I visited here was prior to 2021. My family and I were staying at the nearby Fairfield Inn & Suites. We drove over because there was the threat of rain. We first stopped at the food court for a brief snack. The place has changed negatively since I last visited in 2020. Most of the food court businesses were closed. We were limited to getting a Nathan's hot dog. We noticed that there were buckets in this area collecting rainwater from the roof. Also the food court and the mall was not crowded. After we ate our hot dogs, I shopped at Macy's for some clothes. Even at Macy's there were fewer patrons than I last remember. Macy's seems to have the most customers.
The mall is the busiest. I've seen it in a long time. I'm sure because of the holidays. It seems as if half the stores are now gone, but one of my favorites Macy's is still an Anchor store. I always seem to get some good buys. For the most part, the prices are reasonable at Macy's. Some of the other stores that are still there that I frequent are Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Loft.
It's a shame I remember working here years ago. Always busy and every store filled. Now half the mall is closed up. Still kept well maintained. Bathrooms always cleaned. Security personnel pretty much everywhere you look. They have car charging stations now. It's a shame. Btw I'm hoping the vending machine was new or there's definitely a problem at the mall.
This mall stands out as one of the busiest in the area, but not as bad as Westfield Garden State Plaza. I consider this place to be not overly packed due to the size, and also it's a 1-floor mall, with the expectation of a food court on the 2nd level. Most of the stores I saw carry common retail names and even names that you wouldn't imagine. There is a Stew Leonard's which is connected to, and to my surprise, I didn't expect to find one here. Chick-fli-a is another, and also L.L. Bean to name a few. The food court is a decent size, with a variety of foods to choose from, and enough tables to fit people. Waiting in line can be a bit of a struggle when it gets long, leaving small room for people to walk by, especially Chick-fli-a. I saw a couple of food places closed. The hallways look well-kept up, and the mall itself looks active with plenty of stores to venture into. Consider stopping at Paramus Park.
There are some people but not overcrowded, and it could be because during the weekdays. Some stores space are vacant, and same to the food court space. There are Starbucks, Chick-fil-a , Philly Cheesesteaks, and more. Clean mall and still a good hangout place for families.
SANTA IS IN TOWN YAY!!! While passing through...Paramus Park Mall offers exceptional service with knowledgeable staff eager to assist shoppers. The diverse selection of stores caters to various tastes, from a few high-end brands to budget-friendly options. The value for money is evident, with frequent sales and promotions, making it a satisfying shopping destination for a range of budgets.
A very small but manageable indoor mall. There are are some basic but well-known stores, such as Victoria Secret, Macys, Express, Chicos, Old Navy, and Ann Taylor Loft, as well as a large Stew Leonard's grocery store, plus a smaller food court on the upper level. There's ample parking and even charging stations for electric cars. The store selections are more affordable and not high-end, and it's pretty easy to navigate this shopping center.
Note that the children's play area has been moved to the second floor food court. Otherwise, not much else is different. A Uniqlo has opened and a Stew Leonard's is coming soon.
3.5; The days when malls had a prominent place in your shopping experience have diminished considerably and this is one the malls that has taken victim. While many mainstay stores have left, they have a few stores still that could make it worth a visit: uniglo, stew Leonard's, LL Bean, etc. The food court upstairs has far fewer options now. The one thing I've always liked about this mall was that it was easy to navigate and hard to get lost in, unlike its sister the Garden State Plaza mall. Plus parking is super easy in comparison as well because of far fewer patrons. Management also seems to have kept up with the mall's maintenance and decor even with fewer tenants. No tax on most clothes and shoes in NJ so that's always a plus! You won't likely find everything you need here but if that's not an issue, not a bad mall at all. read more
I love a good mall-run, but this experience was so sad and underwhelming. I've often gone to Paramus Park SOLELY for a Stew Leanord run, and never -ever- ventured beyond the store gates into the rest of the mall (because I've heard things). Today was the day: I was going to go into the beyond, and see the rest of what Paramus Park had to offer. And to be honest, it offered very little. As I ventured through the entire Mall, in maybe took me 15-20 minutes in a relatively comfortable pace, and it SEEMS 1/2 open businesses, and 1/2 shuttered-closed businesses. I like a quiet mall. I avoid malls on weekends for this reason, but this wasn't just quiet, it was strangely quiet. I've just experienced a mall past it's prime. Odd. I would've loved to see it in it's glory. There were more people in Stew Leanords (probably) then the entire mall put-together. Thank god for that supermarket to choose Paramus Park for its location! In any case --- it's a decent visit in the "land of malls". read more
Thanksgiving weekend, busiest I have ever seen in this mall. It's great. I never know how they survive with only a small amount of customers. Not a big selections in the mall but it's enough for me: VS, Uniqlo, Old Navy etc. Chick Flia and food court upstairs. read more

Nice mall. While this mall is much smaller than the Westfield Mall close by, it is a nice enough mall and pretty spacious overall. It does look a little dated (structure, not décor) and if not for the businesses, I would think this was a mall right out of the 1980's. The food court is a little weak. Sbarro, Taco Bell, Sarku Japan, Chick Fil-A, Nathans, Burger King, Burbon Street Cajun Café & Grill, Masier Wok, Dunkin Donuts, Auntie Anne's, and Charley's are the selections and you could pretty much eliminate most unless a Sbarro or a Taco Bell is your thing. There were plenty of tables and mostly clean. The mall is a nice walk and you could spend a few hours here browsing if need be. There is a small upper level and the main, larger lower level. Plenty of businesses to frequent to browse or shop. It wasn't overly crowded when I went and that is always a plus. Mall is generally clean and taken care of. Parking lot probably needs a repaving in some spots, but there was ample enough parking. All in all a nice mall in the area. read more

A convenient NJ mall experience for me -- even if their anchor stores (Macy's and Sears) are failing and they are a bit light on the higher end. It's never too crowded -- offers most of the basics -- plenty of parking -- and thankfully thin on hoity toitishness. On those days when I just can't handle the pretentious vibe of the GSP, Riverside Square or Short Hills malls -- I come here to feel kinship with just average folks while I get what I need. Unlike my millennial offspring -- I'm just too developed in years to care whether my shopping bag is emblazoned with a couture logo. N est ce pas? read more

Back in the day, before they enclosed the GSP, Paramus Park was THE place to go. In high school, as soon as we got our licenses, we went there literally every day (except for Sunday, of course because it was closed) Sure, the Bergen Mall was enclosed a few years earlier but it was always kind of lame. I was never really a Stern's shopper and JJ Newberry wasn't really for me. I remember when they opened back in 1974, A&S on one end, Sears on the other with an eclectic group of stores in the middle that accurately reflected the times. There was a huge Fortunoff in the middle, across from the waterfall where my father worked part time during most of my childhood. Other stores included, Proving Ground, Athlete's Foot, Lodge at Harvard Square and perhaps the most popular purveyors of horrific cheap 70's apparel, Chess King. The first Gap I ever visited was there, as well. They were the very first mall with a food court featuring Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor, Magic Pan Creperie and the only Chick-Fil-A I had ever heard of, let alone seen. I loved that mall. There was a huge stone, tiered water fall in the middle with dual escalators and a serpentine set of stairs that ran through it with various places to stop and rest. They had a spherical glass elevator which was the first I had ever seen. We used to ride up and down on it because it was just so cool. There was also a giant statue of a turkey with an Indian on its back (moved upstairs to the food court recently). Then, somewhere along the line, someone decided to renovate it and they killed its entire personality. Gone are the waterfall, the glass elevator and the rock wall and in it's place is a benign fountain that couldn't be any more boring or pedestrian. No more copper ceilings either. I understand that mall stores come and go. Tastes change and with it so do businesses. But back in the day, going to Paramus Park felt like an event; something special and exciting. Now it's just another frigging mall and it makes me really sad every time I go there. read more
Plenty Of Parking Spacious With Glass Ceilings Nice Clean Food Court Paramus Park was the mall of the future in the 70's with its innovative design and open center featuring a second story food court. The mall radiates from this area like a cross, with the anchor stores at the north and south ends. Easy parking and decent selection of stores make this mall a more pleasant experience for those who like to shop in a less chaotic environment. A nice alternative for mall shoppers. read more
