A very, very, very tardy review for a mall that I have shopped for over 20 years. Lynnhaven Mall is…read morethe lone survivor and is thriving with over 95% occupancy. A few of my favorite stores are Dillards and Macey's'. With department stores dying these two do well. Another favorite is Apple which our family has purchased products from over the years. The overall appearance has changed over the years for the better and continues to be a draw for business who want to sign leases. If there is a negative it can be parking, but that's ok. That's the price of success. I will also say the lot is clean and secured. I will continue to be a regular shopper at Lynnhaven Mall.

Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal…read moreexperiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's start!. Decent size mall, my wife and I just came here visit the Apple Store!. My only complaint is there is not enough parking spaces in this lot at the mall so on a Saturday afternoon be prepared to ride around for a while trying to find a spot, unless you get lucky and find someone coming out as you are passing by. Other than that, good luck to you!.

The last time I was here was about ten years ago and times have not been kind to this Shopping…read moreMall. It is still clean but about half or maybe more of the shops are unoccupied, the food court is pretty sad, and one of the anchor stores is gone. The stores that remain seem to be very slow and overall there are only few customers in the mall. I think about 30 cars were near Macy's where I parked. The Mexican restaurant Abuelo's looks like it is closed down but signs are still there but zero customers so I think it was closed. The only store that looked semi-busy was the Chinese massage place where there were about four people being massaged and one customer waiting. I honestly was just looking around to get some exercise on a cold day but I really couldn't find anything I really wanted to buy even if I was searching for something. There were also lots of kids just using the mall as a playground but they seemed to enjoy the empty mall. The highlights of my visit was the sports memorabilia store and the pet store. They were also the only places that the clerks engaged me to see if I needed any help. I guess we have to just get used to the slow death of shopping malls in the future and realize online shopping is here to stay.

Round up to 2.5 stars if primarily for shopping Round up to…read more3 stars for mall walking Met up with a friend and my sister to go mall walking since the heat was intense. It reminds me of a two story version of Pembroke Mall (RIP). They renovated the mall since I was last there. It looks cleaner and modern(ish). There are a lot of vacancies including where Reignforest tea was. We walked the entire perimeter of the top floor once and then the perimeter of the bottom floor twice which was an estimated 1.5 miles. Not a very far walk, but it was with intensity. A few notable stores in the mall were Macy's, rack room shoes and bath and body works. Otherwise, the mall was pretty dead with little activity. The food court was the area that was most booming with activity but it still felt like a ghost town. If you've ever seen zombie apocalyptic movies, it kind of has the vibes like the mall you would be running into to escape from the zombies. Except the mall was already dead when it was open.

I haven't been to the mall in years. So when I stepped into the food court they had a nice little…read moreselection of places to eat. I noticed there was a line at Pei Wei so I figured I'd try it out. The food looked similar to Panda Express. The staff was friendly and helpful. I got the fire shrimp, the hot chicken, stir fried string beans, and rice and noodles. The price for 3 items came to about $14, which seemed reasonable. I wasn't thrilled with the portion, it looked like more than it actually was. But it only looked fuller because it was piled up on top of the rice. The plate looked appealing. The chicken was very bland and it seemed a little questionable when I bit into it. The first 2 pieces I ate were like weird grissle so it turned me off. The shrimp was better, it was ok, but definitely soggier than I liked. The string beans were lacking flavor. I did like the sweet n sour sauce and the yum yum sauce and the noodles were ok. They had a few chicken options, veggies, egg rolls, shrimp, and etc. I wasn't the biggest fan of this food unfortunately. But people were buying it. I don't see me buying it again, but it wasn't the worst I've ever had. Meh!!

Since the MacArthur Center is closing this month, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what…read morethis place has meant over the years. It wasn't just a mall, it was a backdrop for so many memories. I still remember when it had Rainforest Café and Johnny Rockets, those were absolute staples of any visit. There was even a Sanrio store at one point, that had planko, which felt like a little slice of joy every time I walked in. It really was the mall of my time growing up. Some of my favorite memories include visiting Santa during the holidays, catching movies with friends and family, and just spending afternoons wandering around when going to the mall was a real treat, not just an errand. Not to mention using the photobooth before "selfies" were a thing. They even had a bounce house and play area which was so much fun as a child. It's definitely bittersweet seeing it close. While it's not quite what it once was, it still holds so many good memories for so many people. A solid four stars for everything it was at its peak and for the nostalgia it leaves behind. An end of an era, but one worth remembering.

Three days before MacArthur Center closes for good, I brought my kids to the mall to spend an…read moreafternoon making a few last memories. They were happily riding the escalator, and I was taking a simple video of them on my phone. To my surprise, a security guard stopped me and told me that videotaping was not permitted. At first I didn't even realize she was speaking to me because she was mumbling from a distance. When I continued recording my children, she approached again and more firmly told me that no videotaping was allowed. What made the experience so frustrating is that the mall is literally days away from closing. The building was largely empty, my children were simply riding the escalator, and I was recording family memories--not conducting a commercial photo shoot or disrupting anyone. Meanwhile, there have been photographers and members of the media documenting the mall's final days. The whole interaction felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Instead of leaving with fond memories of one last visit to MacArthur Center, I left feeling scolded for recording my own children in an almost-empty mall that will no longer exist in a matter of days. Consumer habits may have changed over the years, but experiences like this certainly don't encourage people to return. It was a disappointing way to end what should have been a nostalgic final visit.

If you enjoy outlet shopping, the Williamsburg Premium Outlets are definitely worth a visit. The…read moreplace is enormous--probably twice the size of any outlet center I've visited in years. Just about every major brand you can think of is here, making it easy to spend several hours shopping if that's your thing. The only downside is the layout. Instead of being designed so you can start at one end and work your way through the entire center--or follow a convenient loop--the stores are spread across multiple sections. We noticed a lot of people parking, visiting a few stores, then getting back in their cars to drive to another section and repeat the process. It doesn't make for the most efficient shopping experience. We happened to visit during a stretch of 100°+ temperatures, so walking from one section to another simply wasn't practical. We visited the stores we wanted to see, then called it a day. In cooler weather, it would be much easier to spend several hours exploring everything the outlets have to offer. Overall, the selection is outstanding. Whether you're looking for clothing, shoes, accessories, home goods, or specialty stores, chances are you'll find what you're looking for. Just plan ahead, wear comfortable shoes, and if you're visiting during the summer, be prepared to use your car to get between sections.

I probably have shopped Williamsburg Premium Outlets over a dozen times. However, it's been over five years, or more.

I usually go to one of the anchor stores (usually only one does it) that will open its mall doors. It's generally clean and quiet until the stores open on the weekends. I have never seen any problems with the young people and have seen the occasional security guards (Paul Blart). I've never felt threatened ever so it's a good place for walking and shopping.
