    I'm not entirely sure why this mall get such a bad rap. No, it's not the best mall around, and sure, the selection of stores is more akin to a swap meet than your typical mall ha, but I quite enjoy coming here with the fam every once and a while ! Especially because there always seems to be some kind of event going on. Recently, we got pictures with Beetleguese, and got to play "mini golf" .

    Valley Fair is the mall that time forgot ... but the locals didn't. Even in the middle of a weekday, the parking lot is packed. So is the Red Robin and the Ross Dress for Less. Even the inside of the mall is hopping. The thing I like most about the mall is it has a uniquely West Valley City feel. You'll find a strong influence of the immigrant community with the part-Catholic gift shop, part Quinceañera dress store known as The Bazzar. There's one of the best soccer shops in town, Castro Sports. There's the authentic Mexican food of Tacos Daniel. There's the wonderful part Asian-influenced, part gift shop, part knife shop, part toy store known as J&D gifts. There are also the businesses that help make a mall great: A really big and clean Ross Dress For Less; a gigantic, newly refurbished Megaplex Theater; the gigantic carousel past the food court; in my opinion, the best set of sports merchandise stores in town; and, this time of year, the grandiose Christmas decorations. Unfortunately, the stores without a strong pedigree don't do as well. The Pop'nSweets has so little merchandise the store looks looted. I've walked past the LA Cuts three times and have yet to see a customer. The VR Junkies arcade is a ghost town. And one other beef: I went into five different stores that said "NO FOOD OR DRINK" ... one of them was the ARCADE! Whatever the store, you CAN'T SAY NO FOOD OR DRINK IN A MALL! WE DRINK AND EAT IN MALLS, PEOPLE! Overall, it's worth a visit. Even if you have to stay parched and hungry.

    If you're working on a tight budget but still want to have a good time or have a large brood that you want to take out for some fun, or maybe you just appreciate being frugal, then you need to check out the Valley Fair mall Movies 9 theater for a super cheap date night or thrifty family fun night. It's easy to over look for the massive Megaplex with their mega-prices, mega advertising and mega concession offerings on the other side of the mall. But worth the effort to walk the extra ~100 yards. After viewing your flick, skip into some cheap eats at the food court. Maybe hit up an old time favorite like the Hot Dog on a Stick or DQ - OrargeJulius for some nostalgic treats.

    Mall itself is a mixed bag. Nice food court. Cheap movie theatre plus a modern deluxe theatre. Stores are pretty janky and random. Hallways completely depressing and sparse. This mall seems to be collecting all the used children's novelty rides from across the country; they're stuffed into every nook and cranny here. My kid loves it. *shrug* Outside the mall proper there's an assortment of newer brand name stores. Bed Bath and Beyond! Take me away! These outlying stores seems to be where the life is. I imagine them as a flock of vultures getting fat off the diminishing corpse of the mall itself, which miraculously continues to pump blood despite a lack of most necessary organs.

    It's annoying and rude that security yells and herds folks out of the food court at straight up 9pm. Come on, let folks finish. Close the gate if you must, even don't let new people in. But leave the current diners alone. This mall is doing better in recent years, but still has a long way to go. Adding all of the new surrounding eateries and businesses just took money OUT of the mall. Weird strategy. Some good thing at this mall.. -the new Megaplex. -kids love the carousel. -hot Latinas everywhere. -many businesses are locally owned. The bad.. -many businesses are locally owned. -some patrons will stare or even glare at gringos. -the $1.50 theater is a bad joke. -the cracked and filthy parking lot. -inside still feels old and tired. -the mall is too dimly lit, with an oddly empty feel. -honestly, most of the stores here suck. This is the low-budget mall in the SLC area, and it shows. But it makes for interesting people watching and a healthy variety of eateries. But actual shopping here rarely happens for me.

    Would not recommend this mall. Not a good environment to allow your teen children to visit without your supervision.

    Not often is a mall looked at as an individual entity, but it darn well should as our time is…read moreprecious. I would rather drive 20 miles out of my way for a mall that has an abundant number of products and services I need to get stuff done. Luckily for me, The Shops at Fort Union are near me. Because of their location near the junction of Midvale, Cottonwood Heights, and Sandy, it's close to a heckuva lot of people in the SL Valley. The first thing I like is that it serves more a close-to-home crowd rather than the business lunch or general shopping crowd of say a Commons or The Shops at South Town. The tent pole store of The Shops at Fort Union is the Smith's: A tried-and-true grocery store with good prices and a stellar selection. The Commons and South Town don't. There's also a Walmart and -- at least very important to me -- is a Petco: toys, training, and grooming for my dogs. Obviously, food is important to us Yelpies! I find myself at Five Guys Burgers and Fries the most. There's also J Dawgs, Chick-Fil-A, Firehouse Subs, The Pie (the best pizza in town, and they deliver), Waffle Love, a Rumbi, Dickey's, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Teriyaki Express, Nagoya Sushi, Chili's, etc. There also several clothes-centric stores: Lane Bryant, Ross, Mr. Mac, Gordman's, and even DSW shoes. I could list places forever. My only beef is there is a complex right next to it with a Original Pancake House, a Wich Which, Coldstone, etc. that apparently aren't a part of the complex ... they aren't directly accessible and more of a pain to get to than they need to be. Overall though, a great place to shop!

    The Shops at Fort Union - Yeah, pack a lunch (so to speak) if you use the Chick-Fil-A drive thru at The Shops at Fort Union.
