This is a large mall with so many different stores and shops. The food courts are great. There is a huge arcade with a bowling alley and pool. Also an escape room and ice rink and air soft place. I was very impressed.

So many stores at this mall with a lot of choices to pick from if you are looking for a pretty good shopping selection. They also have two food courts. The food courts don't have many chain places. I think I remember subway and BK.
