I am reviewing Miracle Mile Shopping Center for sentimental reasons. I recently dined at Denny's…read morenext door to this plaza. Although it deems itself as the oldest shopping centre in Rochester, it's really a plaza. It was established in 1952 and there was a major fire in 1971. I'm happy to report that these events were both well before my time! I dropped by this plaza a handful of times as a resident of Rochester. There used to be a gift shop that sold Midwest of Cannon Falls s'mores characters. I bought a few of these characters as Christmas ornaments and a larger one that was a lamp. They are still with me to this day, but this company folded, as did this gift shop. Cannon Falls is maybe a twenty-minute drive northwest of Rochester. I don't recognize that town since I moved away. It's the same about Miracle Mile. Hom Furniture is one of two businesses that rings a bell. There's a new grocery store called Fresh Thyme Market. I exited Highway 52 and you can't miss this supermarket's large sign from it. I'd estimate that there are roughly thirty businesses in this plaza. Olmsted Medical Center is still kicking around, which is the other place that has endured. This plaza is perfect for folks who live close by and don't want the bustling feel of being downtown. This shopping plaza is roughly two blocks away from the Mayo Clinic's St. Mary's Campus. There is plenty of parking at Miracle Mile. I'll need to check this plaza out more closely when I'm back again and it's not my final full day in Minnesota, especially Fresh Thyme Market. It was quite the flashback heading over here. So much change here. Even the Hardee's across the street is gone! (47)

This is definitely your 80's style strip mall. That said, it does have some very cute, very useful…read moreand very trendy stores and restaurants! Definitely do not judge it by it's appearance! Check out its website for a list of all the stores and services it offers/boasts! http://www.miraclemilerochester.com/mm_002.htm It is also so conveniently located right off of the highway and acts as a frontage road between 2nd St SW & Civic Center drive! :-) I am so glad I had free time to check out the stores last weekend instead of just assuming it was a deserted strip mall! BEST toy store ever! Fabulous 2nd hand shop! Great home decor/gift shop! Medical offices, cleaners, a bakery, a hardware store, a restaurant, a liquor store. It has it all!

The Twin Cities premium outlets is a great option if you're looking for affordable clothes/gifts…read more We typically come here around the holidays to do Christmas shopping. However; I also love coming randomly throughout the year to get updated clothing items. I typically like to check out under Armour and Nike, the Columbia store also has a separate outlet location as well. Recently, I feel like prices haven't been nearly as good as they used to, but in this economy, who can blame them. I would love to see a little bit more variation in the food court, it's mostly Asian cuisines and Cinnabon. All delicious but would love to see some more options. There's a ton of parking, but if you come on a busy weekend, you may not notice and still have to park far away. Bummed to see some recent retailers, leaving, they've been replaced with stores that my opinion were is great. Overall, a decent shopping trip, it's also in a great location. There's plenty of other stores/eating nearby. I recommend checking out the Twin Cities premium outlets if you haven't been there before.

First time coming here, never knew there was an outdoor mall near the Mall of America. Overall it's…read morean average sized mall. It's nearly identical to the Aurora Outlet mall back home in Illinois so navigating this building felt like I was back home. There weren't any outdoor vendors, maybe they'll be there in the summer. There was ample amount of parking and a great variety of stores where you could find half of them at the Mall of America itself. This mall is very clean without any riff raff from my visit here. Not the best selection of restaurants from the food court

I want to start off by referencing another review that states they are from California and this is…read morea "small mall" because of that. I am also from California, and a bigger city than them (Los Angeles, while they are from Sacramento which has a population of barely 500k while LA has almost 4 million, so it's pretty hilarious to see a small town guy talking like some big city bigshot), and I can tell you aside maybe two in all of California, the malls were dead - like completely dead - since around 2010. Big, small, doesn't matter, not only WERE they dead, they are STILL dead, the pandemic didn't even cause it, the insane levels of crime surrounding shopping centers and malls, along with the unbelievable prices of things in the state, did. Oakwood mall, however, is a really great place to go. It feels like the 90s again, every storefront IS a store instead of boarded up/fenced off empty nothing making you feel like the place will die off in a few months, there's always people shopping and hanging out, I often see people playing the arcade games in the middle of the walkways or just spending time there to spend time there. Mall culture was something I thought long dead but it's alive and well in Eau Claire somehow and every time I go it makes me nostalgic and happy to see. I've stopped in at basically every store as well (including the ones aimed at women due to my girlfriend) and they always have something worth buying, some new promo worth taking advantage of, other people shopping so there's not this empty feeling, and very kind workers at every store. Not only would return, but do very often!

A lot stores all in one location. There is something for everyone in the family. Then a food and…read moremovies.

If you love shopping, you will love MOA. On my brief stay in town, I came 2 days in a row. There…read moreare plenty of hotels within walking or shuttle distance. The one day I spent about 7 hours here. Some stores have multiple locations. They have directories located throughout the mall with walking directions. They have a ton of restaurants that offer happy hour deals. This mall will help you get your steps in for sure.

I'll admit it. The Mall of America as they call it hits pretty hard. It's over 30 years old &…read moremanaged by a Canadian company but it's got all the American staples. Parking is a bit tricky to navigate as clear markings aren't present so be familiar with which attractions you want to see & park near those. Once inside, it's massive but the kiosks are quite helpful. We grabbed a movie with comfortable recliner seating & also checked out the Fly Over America which may sound corny, but it's cool. A bit pricy, but worth the splurge if you're struggling for a signature experience. Food is in abundance & offerings have a slight edge over standard mall menus as options are plenty. Park is the pinnacle & doesn't disappoint. The sheer scale of an amusement park inside a mall is cool. If you're not into rides, grab a phone charger at the kiosk & a table overlooking the mania & listen to the screams. Rides are open late & likely a winter solace from the snow. If you're open to it, it's worth the hype. Get your steps in today

I'm looking at this coming from IKEA, realize it's the Upper Midwest, and see an MOA venue named "Flyover."  Anyone else find this humorous?

I grew up not far from this city and enjoyed my time at the mall because it was so interactive and…read morelow times have changed sadly so things are different...but I can honestly say I don't understand how place can fall so low and become so beat up with no kind of maintenance happening or upgrades to ensure the mall can still thrive at its best. Sadly now it is a place that has no direction anymore and management is non existent that's for sure. I took up a part time job with the mall and the things I found out were no shocking but were at the same time. Bad financial choices over and over again from what I could gather from but at what point do you learn... apparently there old manager spent 8 grand on candy for an event and had to give all of it away. Like what are we doing really. Anyways don't expect the bathrooms to improve or anything because there is no budget or whoever makes the big decisions won't out the funding into it anymore but then why not be done all together right? Just had to share my insight and the hard truth. Hope to see the mall make strides foreword to improve but hopes are low.

I made a post about the Valley View Mall La Crosse on their event page to show my concern as a…read morecustomer and they blocked me!!! Just goes to show you. I am usually a very private person, but this needs to be shared. Here is my post: I was having second thoughts of going again this year, (Easter Egg Hunt Event) because last year was a disaster! I mean, they did take our feedback which was nice, but still, a kid went missing, the cops were called, there were no eggs for mine and my friends kids. There was no separation of ages, NO ONE was watching the kids in the bouncy house, it was so unorganized, two of my girlfriend's kids got hurt. Kids knocking over other kids, It was horrible. I honestly had no idea who was running this shit show. All these factors weighed on my decision. HOWEVER, now I was told who the dj that will be there....For a business that says they are all about the La Crosse community and love our city, is picking a guy who has done nothing but vandilze and puke on our city. It's a disgrace, even outside the mall! So I really don't think we are attending and lot of other parents feel the same way. Good luck with your event, so heads up to valley view mall I know your trying to get this back to it's life like in the 80s and 90s.

3.5/5 Nothing to…read morecomplain about here, it's a mall! This one is trying to stay relevant and isn't completely empty like some others in the metro. Some shops are empty and others are being remodeled and opening again. I visited on a Friday (Valentine's Day) and it was pretty steady but not packed, I could find a place to sit down and relax by myself if I wanted to (and I did!) Shop selection is meh, I went into a few but didn't find anything to purchase which is just fine by me - I needed a place to hang out that was warm and this was it! Bubble tea, Caribou and smoothies to choose from - I didn't see a food court but I wasn't particularly looking.

Ridgedale is a pretty chill mall. I usually end up here for happy hour at Kona then we walk around…read moreto walk the food & drinks off after. There's only a handful of store I really shop at here but I'm sure overall there's something for everyone. I feel like Ridgedale has been one of the consistent malls (as far as growing up in MN and seeing a lot of malls struggle to keep stores) that never felt like it was closing. I do wish they would decorate more especially for the holidays. They have the Santa pop up in the middle of the mall which is cute but that's its own experience. Also a somewhat better food court would be cool, but there are a ton of options for food outside of the mall/in the area. They do host cool events from time to time like the traveling Hello Kitty Cafe, which is cool.
