Paramus Park has seemed to make somewhat of a comeback. Last time that I was here it did not compare to the other malls like Garden State Plaza, or Bergen Town Center. I grew up in the area and back in the days the other two malls were less popular than this one and in recent years it changed where PP went downhill, but it looks a lot better and now with Stew Leonard's in the old Sears spot it really boosted the mall back up. It cant compare to Garden State plaza, but nowadays many people like the smaller intimate shopping experience. read more

The reason I choose Paramus Park over Garden State Plaza, which is 3 miles away, is due to where I live. I would never go to GSP as there is far too much traffic near that mall (which is at the busiest intersection in the Northeast - Routes 4 and 17). So Paramus Park is my mall. I like that there is a Macy's as one of the anchors. Sears is the other anchor but I don't ever shop there. The food court is fine with a nice amount of choices and an AT&T and book store within the court. The other stores are a cross between kid and adult stores. My daughter loves to shop at Justice. I like Children's Place and Aeropostle PS for kids' clothes. I shop at Sephora, Chico's and Macy's. This mall gets 3 stars because it doesn't have a Nordstrom or Lord & Taylor. Those types of department stores would make the mall more upscale in my opinion. read more

I used to love this mall, but a lot of stores closed down. Esp the Abercrombie and Fitch store that most people go to back a few years ago when it was still open. You need to control the ethnicity of the shoppers because of that the shopping experience has gone down for us. I have lived in NJ for most of my life, and I've seen nothing like this happening in the very malls that I love to go to since when I was a middle school student. You need to fix this now. I am writing reviews for all the of the malls in Paramus. read more

This place was pretty dead for a Saturday night but I guess I'm used to the insanity of people at The Westfield at Garden State Plaza. Actually, now that I come to think of it, this is not a bad place. The selection of stores are nowhere as many as compared to Garden State Plaza but this mall is pretty descent. There were plenty of parking spaces and the stores were not at all crowded. read more

I really like this mall. I love the TCBY. It also has a huge Bath and Body Works, an Old Navy, Macy's, Victoria's Secret, etc. However, there's a lot of empty spaces in the Sears wing. Hopefully once they get another anchor in there that will change. Still, it's worth checking out if you don't want to deal with Garden State Plaza. read more

Went there with wife and kids (age 2 and 6), and was positively surprised. They have a play area for kids which is quite big and my boys had fun playing. It got busy around noon, but we managed to have lunch and were ready to leave by then. Overall recommend, especially if you have kids. read more

I'm a fan of Paramus Park Mall just in comparison to Garden State Plaza. GSP is so huge and crowded just hate going there. Paramus Park is quaint and little with a much smaller crowd of people. I'm not a fan of most department store type places but I do like Macy's. The Macy's is fairly large and I like their selection of clothes. There's not too much going on that I care for, other then Macy's. read more

I was searching for a reputable and ethical jeweler who would focus on the long term relationship and value. I buy jewelry for my wife (now 25 years married) and she is very hard on jewelry. Before finding Mike at Mahtani, clasps and fittings from others would break and even a stone was almost lost during a shopping trip changing clothes. Since I found Mahtani, that has not been an issue. Mike and his team have repaired and re-imagined several of our pieces. The value for the jewelry (24th and 25h anniversary) purchased was excellent. I would highly recommend Mahtani and am beyond satisfied with them. read more

PLease invest in air conditioning!! This mall has glass ceilings and it is HOT. There is no AC - some stores have it. It's unbearable in the summer when they might do good business from people getting out of the heat with the kids... other than that. .. quiet, good stores & food. read more

Love this mall... it's such a civilized mall ... you can still get parking around the holidays with no fights in the parking lot. The only drawback is its limited number of stores... but hey, that's where online shopping comes in. I will avoid the craziness of the Garden State Mall and Bergen Mall at any costs. read more

Definitely a less stressful shopping experience than Garden State. Obviously does not have any where near the selection of stores that GSP has. Easy parking and it has a Macy's. The food court seems like it has shrunk over the years but they have added some food options on the main level. read more

It has been a while since I wrote a review. I moved recently to Jersey and this mall is not that far from my beautiful new home. About the mall. The stores are very uninspiring, you'll find them in any mall. The anchor department stores are Macy's and Sears :-( yes they are still in business, but I can't remember the last time I went into their stores. Their only customers are old folks, working class folks and hispanics I guess. The reason I'll give them 3 stars is that the parking is free and there is plenty of parking space available, also close to the entrances. read more

I absolutely love this mall! Great selection of stores and restaurants for people to choose and shop from! My favorite department store up there is Macy's! Although I have to admit, I can't wait to see the new regal cinemas and stew Leonard's supermarket to open in replacement of sears! It should be a dandy! Overall, I love this mall! read more

Paramus Park is getting a 13 screen movie theater!!! This is something this mall really needs! But why would they take away the carousel?? As a parent, the carousel was great entertainment for small children! Go to the mall during the day on a weekday and what do you see? A sea of Mom's pushing baby carriages!!! Not a smart move! Make the mall more of a entertainment destination then just for shopping. That's the theme that almost every other mall has taken. The mall would get five stars if it wasn't for that! read more

One of best malls to go to if you want to spend a quiet afternoon shopping at H&M, Express, Gap, and Old Navy without having to spend an hour looking for parking at GSP. This is pretty much the kiddie version of GSP with plenty of parking. The fat girl in me just wishes they had better dining options. I'm just so sick of Panera and the regular Jersey mall food court. read more

Mall Santa Special - After telling Santa it was OK that my four year old daughter did not want to sit with him, Santa threatened to withhold her presents. He said her two brothers would have big boxes under the tree, but nothing for her. My wife was stunned; I was standing by the photo guy. To my daughter's credit, she defended herself, telling Santa she gets presents for her birthday anyway. Santa said, yeah but I'm talking about Christmas! My kids were trying to make sense of threatening, confrontational Santa through out dinner and on the way home. My wife and I had to try to explain Santa's inexplicably cruel behavior up until bedtime, eventually going with the "helper" not "actual" Santa explanation. read more

Who remembers when Paramus Park still had a giant stone center filled with peace lilies, water falls, hidden staircases, and the glass elevator? Man...this was the place of my childhood when I'd ask my mom if we could go see the giant turkey, ride the carousel, and throw pennies in the magic pond. Back then I didn't really care about the stores or the food court, this mall was where my mom and I spent rainy Saturday afternoons and visited Santa and the Easter Bunny. These days Garden State Plaza almost seems too big and instead will make this my go-to for staples like Gap and Macy's. Oh and hellooo?? Who cares about the number of stores at GSP when PP has a Chik-Fil-A? read more

Very sad to have watched the decline of this mall over the years go from what it was to what it is. Actually seems to have gotten worse each time we visit. Just more and more ugly, sterile-looking, trendy corporate chain stores. Nothing interesting at all. read more

I love coming here when I just need to get a few things or just feel like leisurely walking around without being bothered by large crowds. The store selection isn't as expansive as Garden State Plaza but they do have a few good stores here; my go-to's are Loft, H&M, Bath and Body Works, and The Limited. They added a Starbucks kiosk and if you want a cheap meal there is also a Steak and Shake which is pretty good. What I love most about coming to Paramus Park is, it's pretty hassle free. With the exception of the holidays, you can find parking relatively quickly. It's also at a pretty good location: there is a Sports Authority and JoAnne's nearby as well as a Bonefish Grill. read more

I like Paramus Park because it's not too big, overwhelming, and never too crowded. However, I can't stand those stands in the middle that sell things, and some of the employees that run them. Extremely pushy, aggressive, and obnoxious. I literally had someone approach me with a hand cream and reach out and touch my hand. I was taken back and baffled by his aggressive behavior. So rude. I complained to Mall Property Manager, and heard back immediately with an apology. It was comforting to know they take those type of complaints seriously. I have since never been approached as aggressively as that 1 time. They still bug you, but not as bad ... read more

great for quick shopping to Macy's if you dont want to get caught in the GSP hassle. LL Bean is a great addition. Only Sears I know of in the area read more

A great mall in North Jersey for shopping, its not a beast like garden state plaza. This hidden gem is a calm, cool, and collected mall amongst the titans of Nj malls ...Its a million times less crowded and cleaner then the others around it. They have a lot of great stores and a great food court...They have a Chick-fila for christs sake!!! Also there is never a problem finding parking! If you are looking for a great shopping experience without all the crazies, then this is the spot! read more

I like this mall because it's closer to me than GSP is and even though it's smaller, it's got most of the things you're looking for, if you're not targeting a specific store. I enjoy eating at the food court, as well as visiting the food stands by the fountain. It's an easy-to-navigate mall (unlike Garden State Plaza) and you can get what you need to do done quickly if you choose to do so. It's not overcrowded like GSP, and while it's got less options, it's great if you don't wanna deal with the crowds, the traffic/parking, the distance, or getting lost. read more

I miss the old waterfall, too, especially at Christmas when they put hundreds of poinsettias all over it and white birds flying above it. *sigh* Even so, this is still the best mall. It's not ridiculously big like GSP, parking is good, food court is great, atmosphere is good, and it's got lots of stores I can actually shop in. We don't all make a million dollars a year! read more

Paramus Park Mall used to be THE PLACE to bring younger kids. With the adorable carousel, the play area and the kid stores, you could easily spend a rainy afternoon there. However, since the removal of the carousel, it has lost it's appeal. As much as I dislike going to GSP, I will now have to go there for their carousel alone. Sigh. I will miss Paramus Park. read more

This is a wonderful mall for people who don't love malls. Never crowded, always a parking spot, hard to get lost and a good variety of stores. I get my hair cut at Macy's, find what I came to buy, relax at the food court, and then head home. Every visit is a success. read more

Great mall with adequate number of parking spaces. It is smaller and less crowded than Garden State Plaza, which is refreshing. The food court offers good options for guests. read more

This mall is great if you want to be in and out for a non-specific item, but overall it's nothing special. There's really not very many stores. In fact, the mall itself is quite small. The one perk is that there's pretty much always parking. No one ever comes here when just a few miles up the highway is Garden State Plaza with every store under the sun. read more

This mall just can't compete with Garden State, Riverside or the Bergen Mall. Time to reinvent themselves. They do appeal to the people who don't like crowded shopping centers. read more

Much smaller mall, lesser stores, but rather convenient if you want to be in & out quickly and get a few basic things done because it's not as crowded & has ample parking. Has several of the stores that I frequent so I often swing by here when I'm in a rush than going to the GS Plaza. read more

I am so disappointed. I went to the Joli Salon there for years. They must have had a change of ownership. Had to ask 3 times for a back trim and a layer cut in the front. Five minutes later she was done and I had to pay $35.00 for something she didn't do. What a lousy job. Never again! read more

My favorite mall. They have what you need and decent options for everything without being a huge 10 mile workout surrounded by teenagers and punk kids. I can't even go to GSP. This is my spot read more

I've always like this mall , no to many people around, always has Parking , the food court is excellent, always were to sit and eat. The stores are also perfect. read more

H&M Paramus NJ The employees at this store are really kind and super helpful!! A pleasure to shop here. It's further from my home in Wayne where there's a closer store, but well worth the trip. Clothes are really cute always get compliments on them. A read more

The mall it's self is nice 4 out of 5 stars. But don't ever eat at the Burbon street Cafe in the food court. They get 0 stars. First off it's not even that kind of food and they mostly serve Chinese food at a much lower quality. Second of all I ate there on Monday and got food poisoning from them. I got vegetable lo mein, sweet plantains and sesame chicken. The vegetable lo mein barely had any flavor and the bean sprouts looked rotten. The sweet plantains were hard and not sweet at all. The chicken was ok. But again I got food poisoning. read more

I grew up going here but Paramus Park has changed a lot since then. I see it through different eyes now that I have a child. The carousel is gone and so is the Disney Store. So if you bring a young one here there's not much to entertain them. It is nice going to a smaller mall as compared to Garden State Plaza and it still has a decent selection of stores. The mall itself is very clean but I think if it was during the week I'd just rather go to the Garden State Plaza. It's at least a nice alternative on the weekend if you don't want to deal with the madness of the Plaza. read more

Let me start by saying I hate malls. I grew up in Hudson county the thought of going to Newport or even worse jersey gardens made me want to vomit. Of course life cannot be lived without going to a mall so I always had to frequent them. Newport (before recent upgrades) didn't always have the stores I needed so I always had to go to garden state. And garden state is a zoo. After recently moving to Hackensack I discovered Paramus Park. I always knew it was there I just never went. But I'm so glad to have finally visited! Its go pretty Much everything you need minus the crowds that you have at garden state! Its nice and quiet, perfect for a mall HATER like myself! read more

Great mall for the ultra modern mom. Has a marshalls,Children's Place, Gap, Guess, and Whole Foods...So what more can you want?? They have seasonal events for the family. They have these super cute fish tanks all over for the kids to look at. They have ample seating. Other than that it's a shopping center. Very weird they have a church or worship center located above Marshalls!!!! I spend to much time shoe shopping and here way to much!!! FYI they closed the Chucke Cheese that was located across the street. So don't plan on it!!!! read more

Compared to all the other shopping in the area there is something I love about this mall! It's a simple straightforward American mall, but has plenty of choices, a nice bright layout, always clean and never too busy! I highly recommend coming here and supporting this mall. read more

I agree with the others who say this little mall is good if you want to avoid the chaos of GPS especially at the holidays. There is still route 17 traffic to contend with though, no matter which of the malls you go to. read more
