Came by with a friend running errands on a weekday evening and it was fairly quiet. This outdoor mall is located in Glendale and consists of 5 main buildings with a green plaza-type area in the middle. Stores are located on ground, first and second floors, there are some commercial office spaces too. Parking is available for a fee in either structures or in the spaces directly in front of the stores. There are a fair number of stores for what is essentially a glorified strip mall, it's not quite large enough to make it a serious shopping destination, more of a come-by-for-specific stores kind of place. Of the approximately 50 businesses here, a dozen are commercial offices, another dozen service/utility stores (doctors offices, glasses store, UPS, T-mobile), a Regal Cinemas movie theater, a couple hobby stores (anime/manga, games, Bee's Arts & Crafts), several food/drink spots, some apparel/accessories stores (Foot Locker, Forever 21, TJ Maxx, White House/Black Market, Sacca's Suits), a few sports facilities (swim school, NY Sports Club, karate school, laser tag/bounce family fun center) and two home furnishing stores (Home Goods and Ashley Furniture). Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here though I can see how it's convenient to have these store nearby for those that live in the area. There is a fun 3-story tall street art mural of a boy with big ears on one of the parking structure outer walls. read more

Came here for the first time with my daughter & her friend- it's a pretty decent outdoor mall... There's a Chili's, CPK, Pot Noodle, Subway, Don Nico (Mexican) as well as an Auntie Anne's, Mr. Cow's Corndogs, Starbucks, Cold Stone (ice cream) & Hokkaido Cheese Tarts. Not to mention, the biggest T.J.Maxx & Five Below I've ever been to in NY. There's also a HomeGoods, Laser Bounce (arcade), Slime Time, Ulta, Footlocker, an arts & crafts studio, movie theater and a few toy stores. Can definitely be a fun time with kids- the girls even played frisbee & volleyball on the synthetic grass, got bubble tea from Pot Noodle, which was surprisingly good and won some prizes from Laser Bounce too. Not an ideal place for clothing shopping and the parking was quite expensive- $30 for 4 hours but either way, we'll be back :) read more

The Shops at Atlas Park - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glendale, New York

The Shops at Atlas Park is an open-air shopping mall at Cooper Avenue and 80th Street in Glendale, Queens, NYC. It sits on Atlas Terminals, a large former industrial park of rag and knitting trades where remnants of former factories still exist today. I remembered when it initially opened in 2006 with high potential and this shopping mall was heavily advertised in local newspapers, social media which was built and designed beautifully. Forward. The large interactive water fountain is gone. There is a large swath of artificial grass that paved the grounds which is similar to Major League Baseball ballparks that feature artificial turf for playing surfaces. Parking is available on site. It is a nice walk for window shopping and browsing the grounds. I admire the facade appearance as it appears similar to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets. To me, the appearance fends a small town community for unity and certainly outside from a major metropolitan city. As a lifelong Queens native, this is my first visit to The Shops at Atlas Park which is accessible by MTA NYC Transit buses Q29, Q47, Q54 and subway M train at Middle Village-Metropolitan Avenue station followed by a 1.3 mile walk. It is slightly remote and in the middle of nowhere for transit desert. I always have an intense interest for traditional brick and mortar in-store traditional shopping experience. I visited with a friend/neighbor amid, my first visit, is better than none. The Shops at Atlas Park's shops are: TJ Maxx, ULTA, Foot Locker, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili's, Starbucks, Home Goods, Auntie Anne's, New York Sports Club and Regal Cinemas. I observed many vacant retail space lots. There are no high end retail stores. Price is relatively high, but expected in 2025 era. Service is friendly. There are directory maps with store names/ classification with a "you are here" red star location indicator. The directory store map is outdated as Claire's Boutique is no longer a tenant in this shopping mall. Shop, shop, shop followed by eat, drink, possibly see a movie and at day's end coffee. read more

This little shopping center may be smaller than the big plazas and malls, but it has a surprisingly cute selection of stores. It's definitely the spot I go to when I need something last-minute or just don't feel like dealing with the crowds at the mall. I love coming here--my go-tos are TJ Maxx, Ulta, and HomeGoods, in that order! 100% recommend this place. read more

Excellent lots of fun for the kids for summer they have home goods,txmsx for 4 July they celebrated free hotdogs games for the kids easy to go buy bus q29,q47,restaurants expensive and cheap you can bring your lunch read more

Located in Glendale. TJMAXX, Homegoods, 5 Below, Ulta, Forever21, to name a few. Atlas Park Mall is med in size compared to your traditional malls. There are few selected stores at this location. You do have a few eateries and a Starbucks. There is a beer garden across the street from the movie theater inside Atlas Park Mall. Everyone comes here if you happen to live in the Glendale area. The TJMAXX at this location isn't my favorite. Find it small and disorganized. Homesgood is another story to tell. LOVE that store. At this location it is a big size. Regal Movie Theater is pretty cool here. Been there a few times. There is a big lawn which in the summer you can lay out. Even some benches to sit around and have a bite. You have parking and a bus to and from the mall. It is a cute, med size mall. I think there could be more potential. Very clean space and safe. read more

I cant. It was subzero weather and did not realize this is an outdoor mall. I paid for parking and thinking it is an indoor mall. Im sorry - this outdoor concept is more seasonal and works better for west coast and areas with consistent climates. Why was this even an option in NYC???? Why did the original developers/architects/genuises even think this idea would be an option? To save $ probably? At least the woodbury outlets allow cars to travel to different shopping stores when it is cold or raining. Here- it is forced because cars cannot travel anywhere. Designated lot barricades the cars for paid parking - but the odds of having an amazing winter shopping experience is too against everything. Again, summer would work out but this outdoor concept is really NOT ok in general. The walk from parking to even the most nearby store felt really troublesome because of the exposure to the cold. (Nowhere that connects have an indoor element and if there are - it is very brief.) 4 stars if this entire complex was in the west coast. 3 stars because this original "mall" creator saved a penny only to inconvenience potential customers (who could have made it a lucrative mall) and the setting is in the east coast. read more

This is a review for the Meet Santa experience at Atlas Park Mall. If you want your kids to meet Santa during the holidays, we highly recommend the experience at Atlas Park. The experience is set up inside a storefront right by the archway by the movie theater/laser bounce area. They set up a beautiful backdrop, decorations, and Santa is there waiting on his bench. Santa was SO NICE and kind and really took time talking to the kids and engaged with them. He spent so much time with the kids and it was so wonderful and not rushed. The employees are so friendly and take beautiful photos and show you the photos in case you want to retake any. The photo packages are reasonably priced and they take so many pictures! We had such a wonderful and positive experience. It's always so difficult finding any reviews online so if you're unsure, we can say that we definitely recommend meeting Santa at Atlas Park Mall! read more

Low key date night/hang out spot for all ages. You will never run out of parking here and can find pretty much what you need in terms of food and shopping. read more

Very cute but out of place shopping center in the middle of nowhere lol! This all used to be Atlas Terminals, but they closed down half to make Atlas Park. Phase 2 never happened... It is a very cute little shopping center! I feel like they did not use the space properly. It is an outdoor strip mall, with parking in the front, back and in the middle. There is a lot of unused space, and it shows, they have no idea what to do with the middle section... In the summer they have frequent festivals in the middle. The also have a skating rink that goes up for the summer! They have about 35 ish stores. Most of the time that I come here nowadays is to donate blood. It is in the old pet store. They have some very very unique shops in this mall. I miss the old Simply Fondue that was there. That was killer! Their main attractions are the movie theatre, the chilis, CpK. I usually stop at the auntie annes there whenever I donate blood. They also have a place where you can rent slingshot cars by the hour! All in all it is a really cool little mall, and I hope better stores come here eventually. The owners do a great job of bringing entertainment here! read more

Not too many stores to shop. You got to pay for parking. TJ MAX is so disorganized and very messy. Home goods and Forever 21 the best stores to shop there. read more

I see some poor reviews but I actually like it here. I go to the movies here and then to get food after. I haven't run into any problems. No rowdy crowds. I enjoy myself. You can get sweets if you're into t hat. There's a Beer Garden there as well. I will frequent this place. It's pretty close to the house read more

The Shops at Atlas Park - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glendale, New York

A lovely looking open air shopping center, where the middle is open and has some grassy areas. There are also some shops on the second level and lower level. It's a mid-size outdoor mall whose most popular attraction is probably the big Regal Cinema movie theater. There is shopping, dining and entertainment, but it lacks what every popular mall needs, a big box department store, to draw crowds in. On a Saturday afternoon, this place was rather empty for a mall. There were too many un-rented store fronts. Inside them, you can still see bits and pieces, remnants of what the last store left behind, in their hurry to leave because of lack of customers. Check out the non-profit pet adoption/ rescue center here called Bobbi and the Strays. (On the ground level). There are some friendly, cute dogs and cats here, so come by and adopt a new best friend. Donations welcome. Some of the more popular shops are: California Pizza Kitchen Chili's Starbucks Cooper Beer Garden outdoors Foot Locker Forever21 Home Goods Queens Public Library Ashley Furniture Ulta Tjmaxx This mall is rather hard to get to without a car. They charge for parking inside, so try to find some street parking. read more

i love it here! it has such a great chill vibe. smiles and laughs fill the atmosphere.

Not much to add to what others have said. It's a small-ish mall. Really nice outdoor field with (fake) grass for kids to run around on, that's in the central area. Outdoor lot allows first 15 minutes of parking for free, indoor lot 30. Not too many stores; there are a lot of empty storefronts scattered about. I don't recognize most of the clothing stores; very boutique vibe but looking around, prices were moderate. I am a big fan of the sushi place (Shiro of Japan) and CPK. Shiro is seldomly busy (at least the three times I've been there on a weeknight. CPK gets good business from the before- or after-movie crowd. The main reason i go to this mall is because both my wife and my mother love Homegoods. There's definitely a wider variety of things here than at its sister store TJ Maxx (which is also in this mall too!), and with easy parking, it seems natural to come here and buy small pieces of furniture. read more

So many stores! I love coming here. I also love that the stores are outdoors. Nicest ulta i have been to!

This mall is improving as it goes. At one point there was a little bit of a struggle to get some of these stores filled. There are a few places to eat here as well. Subway, California Pizza, Chili's, Fondue Place(forgot the name), Cold Stone, Johnny Rockets, Shiro of Japan, Starbucks and a few others. The stores are better as well. Toys R Us Express, TJ Maxx, Forever 21, Spokemans(bicycle shop), a news stand, Payless Shoes, Foot Locker, another sneaker store, a stationary store, make up store, to name a few. There's also a movie theatre here too. A NYSC, which is great. There is paid parking underground here. Again more of a mini mall but for the space in this area it's actually pretty cool and nice. Great way to spend a few hours on a nice day. Whether you're shopping or just window shopping. read more

The first time I came here I was astonished by my surroundings. I felt like I found a hidden spot in Queens. During the summer the water fountains are on and it feels like your just walking around in Florida. The shopping area is clean, quiet and relaxing. Most of the stores located in here aren't well known but the dessert place in the center is great. You can sit out there and drink a glass a wine and just forget about everything for a while. There are some restaurants there as well such as Chilis, CPK, Johnny Rockets, Shiro of Japan, and Simply Fondue. Theres a theatre there to catch a movie, and theres a coldstone as well right next to it. The Amish market has a great load of fresh fruits and vegetables. Theres also a huge selection of beer in the back of the store. Parking is very cheap, 3 dollars up to 6 hours and 10 dollars for more than 6 hours or until closing. I think this place is wonderful for a date or for a dinner with some friends and a walk around the park afterward. There is also a convenient starbucks to grab a coffee after your meal. =] read more

Any time you have to pay for parking to shop, you know you are getting ripped off. And, very inconvenient to put a large item into your car at some stores as you aren't always able to drive to entrance. Stores there are OK at best and it is small enough to get to mosey stores. Those are the few plusses read more

In my opinion, the Atlas Mall is a very boring mall. It is located in an out of the way location too unless you have a car. There is not a large amount of stores and what they do have is lacking. You will not find big retailers like Best Buy or Target. They have several stores here I have never even heard of. The best feature of this place is their huge Regal movie theater. read more

I love this outdoor mini mall. Reminds me of the malls in Texas. I haven't shopped here yet, but I've been to the movies and Chilis. The paid parking garage is sometimes hard to navigate. Everything is automated there's and unfortunately there's no attendant if the machine doesn't work. read more

I just went HAM at Charlotte Russe! I'm so glad they're finally adding shops people will go to. Can't wait til Forever 21 is done. This change is exactly what the mall needed. They should consider adding more fast food options and maybe a Gap, Old Navy or H&M. It also seems like they will be putting up canopies so you rent out areas for bday parties or BBQs? Great idea if that's the case but I hope it's FREE! The parking isn't free and I hate that. Just like others said, its a dead area for reliable transportation. So when you must drive, parking should be free. I also agree with another review about getting out of the lot. There are rarely ever any attendants and once I circled the lot for 15mins! read more

The Shops at Atlas Park are beautifully designed. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of vacant spots within the mall with a lot left to be desired. However, this is still a great place to walk around, pop into the few stores that they do have, and grab a bite to eat. The movie theatre looks gorgeous, there are plenty of food options (Havana Bistro looked super-nice), and parking is pretty cheap ($3 for the first 6 hours and if you spend more than $50 shopping, all parking is free). There is also a convenient machine to pay for your parking before you hit the booth coming out of the garages. I hope that one day they fill this place up. read more

I love the design of this mall and the fact that it is usually not very crowded. It's not very crowded because the stores are all whack, and there is not even that many stores. This is a nice place to come to chat with a friend, but that's just about it. The California Pizza Kitchen is ok and it has outside seating, as is the Starbucks. These two places are the highlight of the mall. The only store I would shop at here would be Maidenform, which is not that exciting. There is also a movie theater. This is a wonderful space; I just hope they get some better stores in at some point. read more

Call me cheap but who the hell wants to pay for parking at a mall where there's tons of street parking. It's a failed concept from start, no one did any market research. The surrounding area is cemetery and a middle class neighborhood but design of the upper class Miami type malls. There is no special stores in the mall and everything is too pricy / upscale. Can't wait to see what will happen to this real estate. read more

I been coming here since it opened and I'm really happy they finally added regular stores instead of just boutiques. I like coming here for Chilis (since its the only one in Queens), the movie theater and now to shop. I love how this mall its outdoors and it reminds me of the malls on the west coast. They also have a lot of free events here like yoga, zumba, movies on the lawn, etc I follow them on FB and that's where I find out about their free events. read more

As always like to try and find new things to do over the weekend. So found atlas park shopping plaza. They have parking garage north south. For 6 hrs they will charge you 3$ which is not bad at all. I must agree that they dont have huge selection of clothing shops but they do have many restaurants and regal cinema. So if one day you don't feel like shopping then you can go to this place n have some air ( yes, they have nice open space) I think it will be crowded in summer. You won't feel like you are in queens. Feels like you are in Long Island. They also have nail salon, dental office and many more... Good place to hang out some nice and sunny day... ;-) read more

Really HATE the fact that it's in a transit dead zone & they charge you for parking (the principle of it bothers me far more than any cost itself). I typically just walk from Myrtle Avenue to get here. The mall itself is nice for the views and being outdoors but...empty storefronts, stores that are generally too pricey (forget looking for clothing around here) and more chain restaurants means this place really ought to be in Long Island instead of Glendale. It's an extremely suburban feel, not so great if you fled the suburbs to live in NYC. I'm really annoyed that Stein Mart is no longer here & the movie theater seems to have gone downhill from when we went in the past. read more

Really nice area to shop. I personally like the selection of stores and I'm fortunate enough to live close by. I never have a problem finding parking but it does get crowded on the weekends. read more

I love having Forever21, TJ MAXX, and the movie theater here. I also like to walk my dog, and admire the new landscape. It's a nice place to go all year round. Parking fees are a little high. Be sure to check out the puppies that need homes!!! The doggie in the window is so cute, and so lovable. CONS: Parking rates are a bit high read more

Not sure if I'd say this is quite a mall "mall" yet. There are not many clothing/shoe/specialty stores My favorite aspects of this beautiful outdoor mall are... -Starbucks (The best service here I've ever received at any one of their locations) -Green Market on Saturdays 8am-3pm July thru late October -Bobbi & The Strays where you can adopt cute cats & dogs -Rosetta Wines (Nice selection & Helpful with questions) -Movie Theater, only when it is not over run by annoying teenagers -Borders to browse since their prices have a tendency to be high -Cold Stone (Ice Cream, need I say more) There are some new stores I have not had a chance to check out... A bike shop recently opened, Nail Salon (as if we needed another one in the area), and some other Office type places which you can check out on the website directory. If you check there website they have lots of Family type events and they host a carnival a couple times a year. Overall it is absolutely beautiful to walk around particularly early in the morning when No stores are open but Starbucks, grab a coffee/ice coffee walk around when the fountain is on and relax a little. read more

One star even though I love this place because the parking machines are garbage. They are hard to use, slow when they are working, and there aren't oenough of them so get ready to stand in line for 10 minutes in a freezing parking lot to pay $3 for what should be validated by the business you are patronizing. Oh, and the voice recording is rude and hostile. read more

I really enjoy any time spent at the Atlas park mall. It is almost like an escape away from the hustle and bustle of Queens without going too far. In the past few years, the store volume has increased and seems to be continuing to. The atmosphere is beautiful and they have a few staples that you cant find anywhere else in Queens (Johnny Rockets, Chilis, Shiro of Japan). When I stopped in over the summer they seemed to have a bunch of cool activities going on in the center of the mall...some kind of zip line and trampoline attraction. I went on the malls website later that week, to find out my daughter wasnt tall enough - but its great that they have seasonal activities and the actual info needed online. It seems to be a bit of a best kept secret, and I like it that way! read more

Honestly, I love Atlas. It's super clean, and makes you feel like you are in a mall in Long Island. I love the outdoor space, and yes they don't have the most diverse selection, but they are certainly working on it. I think this may have something to do with really high rents - I have seen small mom and pop shops close in a couple of months. The truth is it doesn't have a ton of traffic, but that is what I love most about it. My favorite stores: Home Goods, White & Black, TJ Max, Starbucks, NYSC, coldstone, movie theater, brooklyn cupcakes The NYSC is a great location because you can park your car in the lot for 55 minutes for free and go to the gym for a quick workout. Least favorite: Chili's (horrible), the Hibachi spot (too overpriced), Johnny Rockets (gross place with horrible service) I love that there is a community room, and a ton of space in the middle area for movies during the summer, and cool activities for the family during the spring/summer/fall months. This is Glendale's best kept secret read more

Atlas is starting to get better finally. Love the new Bridal shop it's beautiful and classy. Also Homegoods and TJ Maxx are my fav. Happy we now have a furniture place and pet supply. Yes too the ladies stores. We need some guy related stores like American eagle besides the sneaker shops and please what happen to brooklyn cupcakes I loved that place and sad that Johnny rockets closed. Boooo. Ok we need a another good place like a chipotle or chopped. A healthy alternative to food please. How about a billiard or better yet a Dave and busters kind of place. We need to complete with the LI shops and make it bette for Queens. Hats off too Atlas for making it better read more
