    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    New location for the play area, in the second floor food court.
    Kevin F.

    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.

    They don't have as many stores as garden state plaza but it is a much calmer shopping experience.

    This used to be a higher end, upscale mall. It's now a bit run down, but not terrible. It still has…read morelots of big box stores, but also small boutiques and pop ups. For example, there is an entire storefront devoted to claw machines. There is another store called "mystery bins" that has a random assortment of items that kind of look like they fell off a truck. There is a rope obstacle course for kids on the upper floors of the mall. Cool concept, but a little off putting that things could fall from above on to shoppers on the lower levels. Overall, it's a decent mall, but it has lost some of its luster over the years.

THE NOT SO GOOD ----------------------------- - The mall is definitely showing its age with cracks on the floor, ripped up leather on the cushioned benches and dated infrastructure. - Food court consists mostly of fast food vendors you can find outside (e.g., Wendys, Taco Bell, Burger King, Nathan's). MIXED THOUGHTS ---------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Was as busy as any mall on a Saturday afternoon, but, aesthetically it's no competition with the shinier Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall and American Dream Mall.

    This mall has a lot of stores, but the hallways feel inconvenient because if you go down one all…read morethe way, you need to go backwards to go to a different hallway. Because of that, I didn't know there was a Spencers for years (not that I was looking for that store, but it's just interesting that I never knew there was a pretty well known store in a corner for years). The food court is pretty good with a wide selection of items and this one area between the center of the mall and the food court hallway occasionally switched out. Store prices vary and the mall can't really control that, obviously, but there's a good variety of stores with their ranging prices so that you can find your preference. I only know of one bathroom area and while it's pretty big, it also feels hidden and is inconvenient if you need to go from anywhere besides the center of the mall. Also, there's great parking and a bus stop for commuters. There's also other stores located in the same area but not in the mall which is convenient for a variety of reasons.

They have just about everything on a shopping list so it fits your needs. The Bath and Body stores are good as is Hot Topic and Tates Menswear. The JCPennys is good too. Across the way is Dicks Sporting Goods. There are a couple movie theatres and plenty of food options. CAVA just opened near the Dicks as well. Parking is plentiful but like anyone else I'm jockeying for spots close. It's usually pretty safe and there are plenty of security guards but just be careful going to your car at night. A good mall.

    Never would I have thought that I would be standing right in the middle of the second biggest mall…read morein the U.S. But there I was on Mother's Day. Perhaps it's because of the sheer size of the mall or perhaps people were busy celebrating Mother's Day elsewhere, but it wasn't as busy or crowded as I would've expected. Although the food court wasn't packed, the wait for Jollibee was insane (probably a 25-35 minute wait). It was worth it though, I hope more malls in the U.S. have Jollibee. After eating, I explored the mall a bit. American Dream has a NHL-reuglate size ice skating rink (entrance is on the first floor, where you can also get the tickets). But what's wilder is the ski and snowboard resort - the first indoor snow resort in North America. I didn't go in but I could feel the chilliness from the condensation on the windows. There's also an NJ Hall of Fame, laser tag, Sesame Street Learn & Play, and Nickelodeon Universe inside. You can enter Nickelodeon Universe (no tickets needed) but you need to buy points to go on the rides. Even if you don't go on the rides, there are plenty of photo ops. I saw Spongebob and Squiward taking photos on a stage. Other cool things about American Dream: A ferris wheel called American Dream that allows you to see the NYC skyline, a Toys "R" Us train that goes around on one floor, and HMart. There is a fancier part of American Dream with high-end stores, too. I didn't come here for shopping though. Plenty of spots in the parking garage and it's $6 for each vehicle, though the first 15 minutes are free.

    1 star - More Nightmare Than Dream…read more (But giving a 3 star since what was actually open was fun.) Took my daughter to American Dream Mall for her birthday weekend, expecting water slides and celebration shakes. What we got was a masterclass in disappointment. The water park was closed for electrical work. Fine -- things happen. So we headed to the shake shop to salvage the birthday with one of their fancy cake-topped frappés. Also closed. At this point the "dream" branding was starting to feel like false advertising. The hotel situation wasn't any better, not that the mall can be blamed for this. But fair warning to others who traveled as far as we did for this magical weekend. Pool closed for the entire weekend -- not for a quick cleaning, but pending state inspection results that could take "days to weeks." Called around to other hotels thinking we'd just move. Same story everywhere. Apparently post-Memorial Day weekend triggers mandatory state testing after high guest volume, and every pool in the area was in limbo. Nobody mentioned this when we booked. Back at the mall, the game room -- where the closed shake shop lives -- lost power entirely. And if that weren't enough, the fire alarm spent a good chunk of the afternoon flashing and blaring "there is a fire in the building, evacuate immediately" on repeat. Not once. Multiple times. So to recap: no water park, no birthday shake, no hotel pool, no game room, and a fire alarm that cried wolf so often we genuinely weren't sure whether to panic or just keep walking. Happy birthday, kid. At least the parking lot was open.
