I recommend this mall for parents with young kids who don't want to spend much or anything at all…read more They have a lovely closed off play area on the lower level that good for toddlers through kindergarten. Outside of that is the largest collection of quarter slot rides that I know of. They accept card payment or lets your kids pretend and don't pay to turn them on at all. Then there's a train ride and rideable animals for a fee. In Scheels they have a beautiful aquarium, a fun shooting range for a small fee and a ferris wheel that's only $1 per rider. Then upstairs they have a nice food court with clean restrooms and a variety of food options. I wish all malls were like this.

5 Stars for Unexpected Wonders at Eden Prairie Center!…read more Eden Prairie Center gets 5 stars from me after an Easter photoshoot turned into a fun adventure. I wasn't even planning on going to the mall, but it was worth the trip. What really surprised me was Scheels. The size of it is impressive, but the fact they had a real aquarium and a Ferris wheel?! That's a whole other level! It's cool to see a store go above and beyond with entertainment and attractions. I also loved how the staff were very helpful pointing me in the right direction. I didn't shop at any of the other stores so I can't comment on those, but overall it was nice. It was a beautiful day and I just enjoyed walking around and taking it all in. If you need to get out of the house, stretch your legs and be surprised by a unique shopping experience, Eden Prairie Center is a must visit. Scheels alone is worth the trip! Win for a fun unexpected outing.

Another sad almost deserted space with a few stores and offices here and there. It's too bad,…read morebecause the space is really nice. Water fountains, whimsical food court area with the fair theme and some bathrooms that are Suprisingly clean. The only time I really go through Gavidae is to cut through to the other skyways. I'll have to add this to the list of other places that used to be. Town Square, City Center, Block E. I think I read that they were going to give it a facelift. Really?

I don't work downtown, so I'm not a skyway rat. I invariably get lost every time I wander around…read morethe 2nd floor commercial maze that defines Minneapolis. So it always feels good when I stumble back to the familiar Gaviidae Common. I don't shop here often (but I do stop into Off 5th every now and again), but it's a peaceful oasis in the middle of the hubbub. If I need to get some work done, a cafe in this building does the trick. There's space, and there's no rush--along with plenty of free wifi. And I kind of like how the gilded architecture makes me feel special.

So grateful to have a space like this. It is SO fun to explore all the snacks. They have so many…read moreunique items and flavors (hi-chew, Oreos, turtle chips). The prices are pretty good, may not be the cheapest you could get an item but for all the variety, it makes sense. I love the other unique stores (k beauty and ebisu for example) with even more goodies.

So I have always enjoyed walking around Woodbury Lakes . It's calm and there's a few stores that…read moreare nice to stop by. This outdoor mall is dying and today was the first I've been very frustrated with them . Not only are there a lot of vacant spots but they need to work on some signage too. I came to pick up some paper at Michaels and decided since my dog was in the car to take him for quick walk around the property. Let him stretch his legs . Had no intentions of going into any store and he's a calm dog so he wasn't going to disturb anywhere . No where on property were there signs saying anything about dogs not being allowed on property . It's an outdoor mall. A security guard stopped me and asked if I was blind . I'm sure he was trying to be nice and I have very little to say about him . He proceeded to tell me he was told to tell me that dogs were not allowed on the property . Wow ... I politely said I wasn't aware and there should be signs then walked my dog back to the car . This is dying location and it's sad to see that but now I really am not tempted to come back and shop here . Who asks if another person is blind ? It can be perceived in several ways. The best way to approach was to ask if my dog was a service animal . Wow....

I stop here when I'm in Woodbury to see my parents to go to the Trader Joe's. It's pretty nice…read more.. for a mall. Kiki D. mentioned a Forever 21 here, but there isn't one. I would know. :) Among the places I've been are H&M, Elodie Boutique (one of the only truly local businesses here!), DSW, Gap/Gap Body, LOFT, Banana Republic, Francesca's, Michaels, some sushi restaurant, Charming Charlie's, Victoria Secret, Express and New York & Co. Oh, and the ice cream place, Maggie Moo's. Objectively, the design of Woodbury Lakes is absurd for wintertime shopping. If it's busy, you usually have to park pretty far away and walk because there is almost never going to be spot on the main "street." I like it a lot in the summer though, because it doesn't have the mall madness atmosphere that you find in indoor malls and the parking lot madness of traditional strip malls. I just park near one end and happily stroll to the other. I'm told they do some crazy things around the holidays too... like, with real reindeer?

I haven't been here since 2018, and it was really run down and trashy. I was here last week, and…read moreoh my gosh. There is still room for improvements, but the store is very clean now and they have added a whole new back section of refrigerators. It looks a lot nicer and there is less crime.

I love Mercado Central. Went on Thursday most recently and it was so packed and busy, which made…read morethe wait times pretty long but all was well because it was just so great to see the community come out to support this amazing place! I went to Pupuseria El Rincon. Got a bean and cheese pupusa and a zucchini, bean, and cheese pupusa. Both were sooo good and came with red salsa and free curtido. Will be back soon to try other kinds!

The only thing is parking can be a bit tricky here, but aside from that this is such an underrated spot!

I frequented Central Park Commons often while in Eagan. This shopping plaza with restaurants is…read moreroughly a two-minute drive from my hotel. It's set up like a mini neighbourhood. I like this plaza a lot. It has a standalone Starbucks with a drive-thru. Staff are always friendly and I enjoy coming here. Yes, it satisfies the tea addiction that I have. Recently, I spent more time figuring out what businesses are here. It has a Bank of America with a drive-thru. It is perfect for me to withdraw US funds, as I have a Tangerine account and I don't incur any charges when I do. My greatest find was Hawaii Poke Bowl. It has dole whip, which I absolutely love. I also had the rainbow poke bowl, which was amazing. It is rare to find an eatery with a perfect Yelp five-star rating where more than 60 Yelpers have reviewed it. Hy-Vee is the grocery store that anchors this plaza. Although I have yet to set foot in this store, Hy-Vee was my go-to grocery store when I lived in Rochester. I dropped by Marshalls and HomeGoods. It's a combo store. They look new and have everything from clothes to floor lamps. I love staying in Eagan. The shopping is great and this plaza is no exception. It has everything that I love and need. I simply need more time to visit every store and restaurant here. It should take me a few more visits. (102)

I didn't see Nicollet Shea here, so I was quite disappointed…read more This is a sleepy little new-looking Strip Mall, way down in Burnsville with a bunch of new looking businesses in here such as a CUB grocery store and a tanning salon that gave me a lot of issues and then some other cool businesses. It can be a pain to get in and out and there can be pretty claustrophobic parking at times but it's still a good Plaza and well-designed and I like it.
