Never been there...no opinion, but I don't feel any strong yearning to ge either, perhaps that's indicative
I spent a week at WEM last Aug .This is what i found there was tons of parking but the parkade looked run down and old in bad need of repair .The mall is fun if your going for more than 3 days buy a family pass its 250.00$ and lets you go on the rides in Galaxyland as much as you want same for the ice rink and water park 8) You get 2 rounds of mini golf a day.My kids loved it but i found the place to be dirty and looking rundown .If you go make sure you take enough money for the lockers they have there .I found that if i got one in Galaxyland it was perfect.Another tip is you can bring your own lunch into the water park .you'll want to do that because the concession in there so expensive 8O .All in all it wasn't to bad for a back to school shopping trip .Oh yea the submarines no longer run and that area looks terrible now .They should really do some renovations to the place :wink: Best part has to be the waterpark 8)
Well i currently live five minutes from the mall. I dunno..i could take it or leave it. I prefer Kingsway for actual shopping. Or Mayfield common...
When i go there, i obviously don't go to the attractions. I went once last year to the waterpark with some friends and the chlorine is so strong, my eyes were red for days! And no, thats not the booze talking! LOL>
But seriously, its fine. I don't approach it in the same way. When I go, i know exactly what i am going for, where my stores are and the quickest way to get there, in and out.
My favorite phase is probably phase 1 top floor, followed by parts of phase four (the movie theater/chapters area) and the top floor of phase three. I also like bourbon street because there is always a restaurant that i like. Im glad they cleaned it up, but gah, could they have picked worse colours??? (*those that live here know what i am talking about).
But as it stands, it is still technically the largest mall in the world. Mall of America is the largest in the interior USA.

I have been to the west Edmonton Mall with the family a few times....and I found it alright...the kids seems to love it if they are under 12 the whole galaxyland area and the pool....and we usually stay in the hotel in the mall..can't remeber what it's called though....
...anyways when I was a kid in Ohio we drove to the mall of America once and I rememeber it as the greatest place ever....but I have not been there since..... anyone been to both WEM and MOA? I know west Edmonton is kinda rundown in some parts...what about the Mall of America?
