    Perfect shopping mall specially in the summer and winter when weather is too harsh to be outside . The mall gave everything from high end brands to common once. My favorite part are the coffee shops and cookies and desserts kiosk around the mall 🍨👌🏻👌🏻 AMC theater is also there so it’s the perfect distinction for families Parking is really convenient 👌🏻

    Westfield Garden State Plaza has every store you need to satisfy the needs of everyone in the family. First of all the food court is outstanding! There is a wide variety of food choices. There’s even a Hagan Daz ice cream truck! The brands and stores available will just excite you! Be prepared to walk and spend the day or just run in for a special item. There are plenty of bathrooms throughout the mall and there is artwork displayed in the walking areas! Before you go check out the app so you don’t don’t get lost! Did I mention there’s a huge AMC Theater within the mall. Maybe it’s just me but I always find Garden State Plaza clean. Helpful staff, good food, stocked stores and easily accessible. But remember. The mall is closed on Sundays! Blue laws. Shop till you drop! See ya there!

    This mall has gotten some pretty good upgrades, been here many times, I remember when they had the carousel though, but that has been long gone, they have been adding many new stores, found out that "Cinnabon" is coming back, so that's a plus, and the Christmas decorations are up...

    I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl and it has changed a lot. New storage keep coming in. An old ones are leaving so this is always a lively place to be. They recently posted a restriction for teens on the weekends where they would have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to prevent mites. There’s still a lot of really weird things happening in the parking lot but I always enjoy the show.

    It's a very nice mall. There are a lot of shops and restaurants. They already put up the Christmas tree, which is very nice. It's worthy to visit there and taking some pictures.

    This place is Hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and I love it. It has every store you could possible dream of. For you and everyone in the family. Coming here it’s an all day event. The food court is deliciously and I can’t wait to come back.

  • 5/5 Wendy D. 2 years ago on Google
    I met a lady that opened a food kiosk here very down to Earth. She ran the business with her sons. There is also a nice gemstone store here. But the mall itself seemed like a work of art. There was amazing sculptures and art everywhere. Someday I will have to do a full tour of this place. I am not a mall person unless it’s outdoor like the Shops of Nanuet. I was looking for a the Microsoft store and my sons new laptop broke but all stores were shutdown.

    This mall is one of the best malls I have ever been too. So many shops, restaurants and things to do at this mall. It’s huge a mall so bring comfortable walking shoes. I was able to find items in stores and I ate at some delicious places here. Check this place out!

    Westfield is definitely a world class mall. We actually didn’t spend much time, just ran in for a specific store. The things I noticed in the passing thing that I really liked, were the parking lot capacity indicators, the food court outdoor seating options which are actually in the parking garage and gratuitous cell phone charging and sanitizing stations. Will have to come back another time and then I will check out the bathrooms 😜

    Fix repair Is deceiving I have bought a cover for my telephone and within 2 weeks it crack and when I came to the store to ask them to exchange that protection of the phone that I have purchased there they refuse. not only they ask me for more money so don't buy anything there because it's all b******* not only not a nice people I don't recommend them it's located above the food court and right in the circle so don't waste your money over there.

    Big mall with poor anchor stores and a lot of smaller stores. Food court is open again, the biggest issue I have with small is the outside traffic getting in and out of the parking areas. Parking itself wasn't hard to find but driving around the mall was terrible. Big AMC there.

    Visited this Chickfil-A Outlet in Westfield Garden State Plaza on Saturday, July 9, 2022, to have lunch. The service was prompt. We had combo grilled chicken burgers. They were certainly delicious, no complaint. Thanks to the management and staff for their excellent service!

    Went to the fair, great time, pricy but had some of the old rides when I was a l Kid. Tip: I would not recommend the pineapple bowl drink. Not worth the 20 dollars price also the drink is not fresh and can tell made from a warehouse.

    We went all around to many places to list. The place was packed. We found parking and walked around to get glasses and visit the lego store, game stop and got some ice cream at Haagen Dazs. 5 of us spent $47.00 on ice cream .... ouch Luxury these days is quit expensive.the wait time was 16 minutes after we placed our order.

    We had such an awesome time at the mall! The movie theater is spectacular, they are over 15 theaters and they’re very large with comfortably white seats. The only downer that they don’t recline. But at least you can buy tickets in advance! The mall has all the grade stores one would want, Zara, Forever 21, madewell, etc. The food court also has a ton of options, lots of Asian foods, fast food, and healthy food. The mall is designed In a very organized way, it’s easy to get around. The biggest plus is that Parking is free!! Additionally

    Fantastic mall. Lots of shops, both high and mid range. Ample time for the far and central to everything in Bergen County. I recommend it as a stop when you need retail therapy

    I recently visited Macy's mall and was thoroughly impressed with the shopping experience. The mall was clean, well-organized, and had a wide variety of stores to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The mall had a great mix of high-end and affordable stores, making it easy to find something for everyone. The food court was also excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The seating area was spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The mall was also equipped with all the necessary amenities, including restrooms and ample parking. The location was also very convenient, with easy access from major highways. Overall, I would highly recommend Macy's mall to anyone looking for a great shopping experience. It is truly a top-notch mall that is sure to impress even the most discerning shoppers.

  • 4/5 Rich F. 8 months ago on Google
    Wonderful Mall. Numerous vacant stores probably due to low traffic. Couldn't keep them financially viable. Great there's a directory listing stores with a location number but no map to show you where. Had to ask employee in a store for help who was kind enough to give directions.

    This Mall beats every other mall in New Jersey. Provides stores from Small boutiques to high end branded stores. So many more stores to go to. The food court is always packed but they offer many food choices. Resting spots are throughout the mall which is convenient for when you need a break. Coffee shops here are worth trying out!

    It's a pretty good mall, aesthetically pleasing design and a good variety of stores (the book store was nice), the only issue really was just how HOT it was inside. Especially since it has been so cold outside.

    When I tell you this mall is fancy…. It’s faaannnccyyy. You will leave here feeling broke! And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I had fun window shopping, getting a bite to eat, and they have a movie theater attached as well. Super cool place to see new high-end products. Beautiful interior. Palacial.

    Over two hour wait in line to retrieve photo in Garden state plaza in Paramus NJ. I don't know when people who just took a photo at 8pm is going to get their pictures when the mall closes but this is worst bait and switch I've ever took part of. Everyone was in disbelief after seeing the line assuming reservation will allow for better experience. Alot of people just left because it was too much. Thanks for single handedly killing our family's photo with Santa experience. Westfield, you need to reassess your vendors because this degrades your brand.

  • 5/5 Juan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place and clean, a lot of things to do at the mall. I like to collect and get cool things. My go to stores are Fye, hot topic. Real fruit is a awesome drink place to clench that thirst and California kitchen got that nice cauliflower pizza crust which is amazing. Last but not least Tojo kitchen is a great place to eat as well.

    It's a beautiful mall. Nice neat. Smells good. It just feels good When you walk around there. you have the best stores out there. whatever you think of you have there. Just felt good walking in a beautiful place Meanwhile I shot. good vibes. Good attitude. Just like I felt they were going to do the best to make you happy and this is what a mall is supposed to look like. Thank you so much. Keep up your good work 🎉🔥♥️

  • 5/5 Ernest C. 6 months ago on Google
    This review is really about the Mall as a walking ‘track’. The Mall opens to the walking public at 9:00 am and it is such a great way to get your steps in a cool and well lit place which gives pleasing things for your eyes while providing a clean and safe environment to walk. There is coffee if needed, and clean bathrooms, and a clear and open track around the entire mall, even offering different floors in case you get bored looking at the stores you have seen. There are artworks and pretty fountains, open ceilings and beautifully laid out stores to entice your eyes. We did almost 6,000 steps easily and pleasantly. Really a wonderful option for Floridians to walk in a cool and non humid way. Thank you Aventura mall for providing such a great and healthy option!!!

  • 5/5 Geoffrey C. 6 months ago on Google
    Plenty do do here and it was a nice experience everyone was friendly and helpful. Parking was available with a short walk and many options in the store plus stuff to do for everyone. Arcade for the kids to run around in. And the prices were reasonable. Also very close to other things to do as well so you don't have to go out of your way. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is traveling past Erie Pennsylvania

  • 3/5 Tracy A. 2 years ago on Google
    I miss the old days! This mall got very huge. Too much to walk around and just enjoy shopping. Used to work at Nordstrom...since they built the new wing, I hardly go there unless I can't find something elsewhere. Just way too big for me....signed Groovy Grandma✌

  • 5/5 John G. 7 months ago on Google
    My first time there and wow what a great mall. Very beautiful , nicely setup from the big food court to the selection of stores . Even outside the mall in the same lot is a movie theater and a couple nice restaurants . You should deffinately check it out it has something for everyone . I will definitely be going back .

  • 5/5 Heidi Schröder - G. 11 months ago on Google
    Riesen Einkaufszentrum- lässt jedes Herz höher schlagen…. Auch wenn man nichts kaufen möchte ist die Mall eine tolles Erlebnis und schön zum Bummeln. Aus New York mit dem Bus 🚌 163 in ca. 1 Stunde gut und bequem erreichbar.

  • 5/5 The Critical J. 2 years ago on Google
    PROS: My favorite mall to shop in these days. Many stores, no vacant spots like suffering malls have. Everything is priced reasonably. Expansive food court while everything is clean.Open late and has the most stores out of any mall CONS: Despite large parking lots it always fills up quickly and the red/green light readers that tell you if a car is parked in a spot in the garage don't work anymore OVERALL: #1 mall in the state, I highly recommend coming here

  • 1/5 Noam G. 9 months ago on Google
    Very disappointed of your decision to close down aroma for another pretzel shop, which you have plenty of. Aroma is offering the Best coffee and pastries in the area an attracting many people. I have no reasons left to visit your mall.

  • 1/5 Jasmin P. 10 months ago on Google
    Unbelievable…new rule is that teens can’t go into the mall past 5pm without a chaperone. What is the difference between teens coming in at 1 o’clock and after 5. Some teens don’t have parents who are willing to go to god knows how far to “chaperone” their kid who is completely capable of being at a mall. Ridiculous…. The security guard stopped me and my boyfriend from coming in meanwhile 20 other people came in without the question of “let me see your Id?” What separates us from the rest? Demographic wise teens shop most at this mall and now you are making a rule which prevents us from coming over some fights that security should stop instead of standing by doors and giving people attitudes…

  • 3/5 Luis D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice mall but always beyond crowded and there is a parking shortage. Preferred the Bergen mall in Paramus compare to this one. Did meet Kid Ink the rapper back in the day here, and there are a bunch of stores that you won't find anywhere else in jersey

  • 5/5 Sten E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice large shopping mall! I took a bus from New York to get here, it was only $4 bucks (or thereabouts, I don't know, I wasn't about to ask for change from a 5 dollar bill while I'm getting into a bus). Anyway it has a large food court, multiple levels of stores, plenty of popular stores like Game Stop, Hot Topic, Apple, Claire's etc. The mall's website is pretty comprehensive with its list of retailers and maps on how to find them. There's also AMC cinemas if you want to see a movie. I visited on Halloween, majority of stores were handing out candy and lots of families with children were dressed up and Trick or Treating around the mall.

  • 4/5 tito w. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a large mall with lots of parking (on decks, upper levels), lots of shops, many high end shops, small food court relative to number of people shopping, there's a multiplex theater, nicely appointed seating areas, confusing layout so get your bearing properly to get to your destination. Only downside is it's Bergen County NJ: horrendous traffic, mall closed on Sundays! Happy shopping!!! 🎄🎁❄️📯🧸

  • 4/5 Edwinia H. 2 years ago on Google
    The mall was very clean and there was good signage. My reason for taking off a star is that some of the stores have been moved around so we couldn't get everything we came for because we couldn't find the stores. We didn't even find the store map until we were leaving. Also the security officers were helpful. So 4 stars.

    In the area visiting family from Cleveland, we decided to check out this mall on our visit. This place was great. Excellent food court and shopping selection. Not too big like the other malls in the area. I would return. Very clean as well.

    Black Friday was very busy and crowded at the mall but yet still organized! Loved the Christmas display and the DJ playing music was so awesome!

  • 4/5 Giovanni 2 years ago on Google
    Mall is one of the best I’ve seen. Spotless, no garbage in sight. I feel safe walking around, knowing that the local police is inside patrolling the hallways. A lot! Of different food places to choose from, and a amazing variety of stores to choose from. Only downside is, there’s an abundance of high end stores, but not a lot of the more economic stores. Amazing mall to go to though!

    It was nice to get to a mall like this with a big variety of stores and restaurants. Since we moved to Southwest Virginia the only thing we miss about NJ is the shipping. We don’t have a lot of shopping choices there.

  • 3/5 NBA J. 9 months ago on Google
    Very nice mall, but the security guards in there discriminate a lot. It’s seem it’s never a problem when white ppl bring their dogs , but every time a black person has a dog , the security guards has something to say. Me and another black women has been having this on going problem with these security guards. White ppl walk around with their dogs in the mall every day on a leash
