First time visiting from Canada. It is a relatively big mall with a lot of stores. However, some of the pop up shops are closed, for example Starbucks. Another downside is that the varying stores are hard to locate for first time visitors like myself. There aren’t any digital maps to ease your visit like other malls have. More so, if you have no idea where the washroom or food court is, you have to find a security guard to ask. Very inconvenient (P.S. they’re both on the second flood). Otherwise, good shopping mall.

The mall in general is OK. But all you see is idiots stealing. It's pathetic NY won't do anything about it. Start breaking hands, making examples out of these safe, feeling crybaby democrats!

I randomly stopped at the mall and learned that there will be a car show in the parking lot behind Macy's Mens next weekend. There were a few sports cars on display to promote the upcoming event. Sweet!

It’s good to see people out and about again… This mall has all the name brand stores that you’re looking for to purchase from… I went in to visit T-Mobile… Thanks for your help Felicia

Great place for shopping. Here you will find all kinds of supershop and stores. It is a very big place with great space. Here they parking space for the customers to park their vehicles.

You will spend lots of time going from one store to another at Green Acre Mall. It’s just wonderful. I love spending time buying groceries and of course most of my time is spent in HomeGoods. Love it.

Pretty solid mall. Never too crowded and has a good selection of stores.

Most biggest and nice shopping mall within NYC long island. You should visit this place once if ure in holiday in NYC.

When I lived in Valley Stream I enjoyed going to this mall. Target was my favorite store. And the Disney store. But Disney is not there any more. I used to take my young grandsons here. The mall is going down hill. This virus has a big effect on the mall.

We visited Queens all the way from Rochester New York, and was impressed with the cleanliness of the city and the friendliness of the locals. I would highly recommend checking out the Green acres Mall, if you are in the Queens, New York area

Great mall. Huge and many stores but just the same many cars and ppl with this pandemic still not gone it’s concerning. However I wear my mask and walk to all my favorite stores. Its a great workout. Some are definitely too far to walk but there is always an opportunity to exercise.

I went to Walmart on a weekday, Friday mid-afternoon, and it was busy but well stocked. So I gather that in order to get most of what you may be looking for, food-wise, one needs to go on a weekday in the early part of the day before 2:30. I say this because I have gone there, Green Acres Walmart, on a weekday before, but it was not in the early part of the day, it was shortly before the majority of people get off from work. The store had an abundance of employees stocking shelves. The place was clean, bright and neat.

It's a small mall but has many good stores like Macy's and H&M, Old Navy, Forever 21, Aeropostale, Aldo, Famous Footwear, and Primark The mall needs better directions signs or even a stores directory. I liked this mall, it's not that crowded and you can walk it in an hour or less. You should visit during your visit to Long Island NY.

I used to love coming here when i was younger. Now its just a shell of the old mall. I miss the movie theater but not the violence. I wish there were more quality stores but i do love Charley's in the food court...

It's easy to get to, has all the stores you need, some favorites have closed after covid, but new ones have opened. You can enjoy a meal, after you finish shopping & the best part is the parking, there's plenty of room. 🥰🙏😇 N

I love it very much. I enjoy the mall very much with my best friend and her husband. I wish we could come over there again. Thank you very much and enjoy your holidays with your family with family and friends. Take care of yourself and have a good day.

It's a large mall so be prepared to drive to some of your favorite shopping locales. Over the years the facade has faded and can use a new coat of paint, but you're going for the stores that are inside the mall and the surrounding big box stores. Depending on the hours you'll find parking, and it's overall well maintained. New stores opening offering bigger selections than before. I would suggest going in the early morning to avoid the panic and traffic that comes with the lunch crowd and the after-school group that makes shopping crowded and unbearable.

Says they (the stores) open at 10 but had to wait an hr for it to actually open at 11 that’s why I would give 5/5 stars. Decent employees. Not really the best in finding my ways to the stores . They do have a great selection. I would never forget the experience I’ve had here with the security though. Security staff standing near the stores, I asked him where is the nearest exit to the main entrance where I’ve parked. He gave me wrong directions and I had to walk with heavy bags outside like a lunatic and ended up walking outside the entire mall to find my way to where I’ve asked him directions to. I wouldn’t want to say that this experience with this mall security cop would be the same with all of them. But as my first impression that was very terrible how lazy he was as doing his job. Apart from that it was nice. 🙂😅🙁

My first time going there, and it was to try the Sonic Drive-in. The food there did not disappoint! This mall has a diverse set of retailers though and plenty of parking. Could be because of the time I went. Eitherway, I have a go to spot next time I'm in or near Valley Stream.

Green Acres was awesome back then I was younger. I was even cool when century21 was there. They don’t have to many store options for the things I need. They did revamp the food court. They also have a beauty supply store which is awesome. I no longer shop here, they don’t have anything in my style but they are in a great location so I often drop by for the food court.

I love this mall. Most of the best stores are here. Good for food too.

Green Acres Mall is easily accessible with excellent parking. The building is very old and outdated. Beside Macy's there's not much selections of luxury retail stores. In my opinion most of the stores are like thrift shops. The food court is good however there are no fine dining or eateries. Before Covid inside the mall felt desolate and not crowded at all even at the busiest time of the day...it's still the same. A face-lift with quality store and this mall will be absolutely great.

Green acres mall is an Amazing mall that I recommend if you want to shop and spend time. Applebees is cool as well and if you have different taste you can go upstairs to try because Green acres mall has many great choices. Have fun and tell me how was your visit ? Grow Grind

Very dismal atmosphere, dirt garbage and debris all over the parking lots and streets. Traffic is a nightmare. Poor representation of the beauty New York once projected. Bring back the New York of old.

I always shop for sneakers for my son at Famous across from Old Navy. Some if their sneakers are wide width which is what he needs. It was on a Wednesday afternoon and it was very quiet. Plus I always find that the store assistants are always helpful and courteous.

Strawberry milk tea boba with lots of boba! In king it's like a Strawberry 🍓 milkshake... with boba! The yumminess ohhh the yumminess Amber Lake boba tea & passion island boba tea haven't tried the latter 2 but I have high hopes just based on the Strawberry yumminess I'm drinking...chewing? **chew-rink-ing!**. Ordered on the preferred about 5 minutes from the mall, this is my first time trying this boba (& I had Auntie Annies pretzel bites) the mall was amazing and I plan to return before I leave NYC

Excellent mall in Valley Stream. Macy's, Target, Best Buy what not!

This was my first time visiting the Green Acres Mall, and I was very happy with my visit! They have plenty of parking across the mall, and with several brand name stores inside on the ground floor and top floor, you are bound to find great deals on all sorts of products and merchandise. The bathrooms are also well kept and clean, and the customer service is great! I highly recommend visiting the Green Acres Mall on your next shopping trip!

This dying shopping mall tells a melancholic tale of what once was a vibrant retail hub. Walking through its dimly lit corridors, you can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and sadness. Many storefronts now stand empty, their faded signs echoing a time when this mall was bustling with shoppers. The few remaining stores appear weary, offering discounts and clearance sales in a desperate attempt to stay afloat. The food court, once a lively gathering place, now seems desolate with only a handful of customers. The once-impressive anchor stores are now gone, leaving behind vast, vacant spaces. Despite its decline, there's a haunting beauty in the remnants of this mall's past glory. The faded decor and retro aesthetic evoke memories of a bygone era of consumerism. It's a stark reminder of the changing landscape of retail, where e-commerce and changing consumer preferences have left traditional malls struggling to survive. While it may not be a thriving shopping destination anymore, this dying mall serves as a poignant symbol of economic shifts and the evolving retail industry. It's a place where the memories of countless shoppers and shop owners linger, and where the future of retail is uncertain.

Green Acres Mall is a decent shopping destination, but it falls short in terms of store variety. While it offers a range of basic shopping options, it may leave more discerning shoppers wanting more. The mall's layout and ambiance are functional, but not particularly remarkable. If you're looking for a quick shopping trip or have specific stores in mind, it can serve the purpose. However, if you're seeking a more diverse and upscale shopping experience, you might want to explore other options in the area.

I came to green acres mall today, I had already been here, prior. Made multiple purchases. And it just so happened that someone grab my purse at the store that I bought the bag from, the store I was at, was by G by Guess. The store manager, was very rude, and not understanding. Was kicking me out of the store. And even call the cops on a customer that lost their property. Very bad experience and disappointed. Because I used to be an employee at green acres mall. And that’s how they treat their customers

Not what it used to be but I'm seeing an effort to make things better. Still a spot worth considering to grab a quick meal and/or do some basic shopping. Rooting for this mall to return to its glory days.

The mall is very large consisting of many stores that serve food, dry goods, pet supplies, hardware, appliances and groceries. It is difficult to drive in because people are rushing to find parking or trying to get out after finishing their purchases, The road designs are very poor in that driving out on to the Sunrise highway cars always try to jump the light and hog up both the east and west bound lanes despite the light timing. There are too few access and exit roads from the mall. Granted the private roads need to be closed off from mall traffic but there are too many stores and not enough street/road room. Had most of the stores been built taller there may have been better road built to accommodate the high volume of traffic. People are too impatient after dealing with shopping, parking space limitations and traffic.

I visited Ulta beauty salon two days ago and my intention was to get a corrective color. The stylist to my surprise did the complementary consultation at the front desk! As a former salon manager I was disappointed. The consult is usually done with the client seated in a stylist chair. I did not insist on this being done. I just complied. She then informed me that I would need an appointment and was unable to schedule me for another week because she was booked over the next few days. She did offer me an appointment for the following day with another stylist ( one who I did not meet or even consult with). Overall very tacky service. I did not return the next day.

The mall is good & clean, and it's definitely small compared to the neighboring Queens Center and Roosevelt field mall. 2 stars (not the malls fault) but a fight almost broke out in uniqlo : ( and bravo to uniqlo staff for quickly diffusing the situation!

Very business with a lot of traffic off the Belt Parkway which is expected at times. Green Acres has a lot of department stores depending on your purpose for shopping. All in all, great places for shopping. Parking can be a little tedious when looking for a parking spot to park in the parking areas

Walmart was packed with people out of stock I thought it was black Friday cause it was crazy lines where from the registers all the way to the back creepy corner. Tough getting powerade and water luckily I yoinked some.

Green Acres is another place parking issues all over the place people upset angry and not polite at all inside you have lines inside you have congestion outside was like a parking field filled with cars where I couldn't even find my car when I came back out there's also lines inside the stores that are outrageous and not many people being hired so you wind up with one person waiting on 20 people and a line that you want to die on

Been coming here since I was younger. Pretty safe lots of parking. Food court. Large selection of stores. No high price stores like Gucci. Which is ok with me. It's split into multiple sections. Walmart. BJ's.great place to spend the day and lighten your wallet.

Walmart Supercenter was very crowded at 8 am on Sunday morning. It was difficult to find parking and there were long lines and crowds. I don't recommend this location due to high traffic and very poor customer service. I had to get off line and just leave because the line was so long and only had 1 customer service rep with no sense of urgency. We asked for a manager on duty and was told there was none. Workers wearing blue Walmart vest claiming they don't work there and it wasn't their problem. The workers and management at those location have extremely poor people and customer service skills. Don't go there!

Huge. Know the location of the store you want so you can park and enter the right location. . Lots of food options. Also outside the main Mall: Bjs, Walmart, Olive Garden. Red Lobster. Sonic, Target, Best Buys and more. It's all there.

Probably the worst place in Valley Stream by far. Everybody has an attitude (literally everyone im not even exaggerating), the display products do not look display worthy, the cooks don't even know what's in the food they serve, and the atmosphere is like a run down high school. The energy of this place is so ugly, and as much as i respect the people who go here to shop, they deserve better as a community.

Best mall in longinland bec of my favorite store “ clique “ upstairs next to food court 🔥🔥🔥

It's still worth getting certain things in person at the anchor stores, although there are less of them Post CoVid and changed consumer shopping preferences. Sometimes it's quicker to get something that fits right away or catches your eye.

I've been coming to this mall since I was a kid, and with that said, nothing is ever going to remain the same. However, certain things do like for instance, stores actually being in the mall for one. I look around now, and there's so many empty spaces where stores and kiosks used to be. If you're a man, then this will possibly affect you more because there are fewer stores that would be of interest to you. Nowadays, it's just women's stores and the food court with the exception of maybe two sneaker stores. This mall was small enough as it is, but now, with so many stores closing and just not there anymore, it feels tinier.

This mall has a vast parking lot. This mall has at least multiple points of entry to access the many stores. It has various levels with escalators and elevators. I could access the second floor via shoppers world, both by their elevator and escalators. The mall has a food court with multiple restaurants and a central area for eating. The public restrooms are in the vicinity. This mall is an indoor climate control suitable for many and kids friendly. The outdoor parking has reserved parking for wheelchair-accessible transportation and wheelchair-accessible entrance. Overall a great place to shop for a variety of merchandise

There's almost nothing you can't find in green acres, but that doesn't mean you can find everything, green acres just has so many stores and places to sit and eat ( because they also have a very large food court ), it's just a nice place to go because it's not often crowded and it's not very loud, or not loud enough to bother anyone. overall it's just a good place to go for shopping or really anything at that.

Really fun time spent here. There is just so much going for this place! Lots of food and shopping options. Hard to decide where to go next!

Great place to buy any electronics. Phones, T.V's, computers etc. They have a geek squad that can fix any issues you may have with an item. Great place to visit.

Some people are reading this review because they can't believe that malls still exists, well let me tell you that they do, and Green Acres Mall is a great place for a family shopping trip, because it's clean quiet and it's just a a good comfortable feeling I don't know I just felt real safe .👍👍👍

AK Roofing3d is great reliable and comfortable price I highly recommend them for work and they have free estimate you can trust them they fill full their commitment.

Very nice renovation in Walmart. Organized and clean. More signs and item changes was done. Seems lots more staff was added.

The employee there are nice and helpful I even bought my second car from them.

I like that mall. I actually never been there until recently. But now it's my to go mall. And they also have a great food court. Last weekend I went to A&D Buffalos. Amazing food.

Green Acres Mall used to be a very nice mall many years ago. I used to love to shop there and spend family time there. Most of the major shops are gone. I see that they are trying to bring in some new ones. Not much to say right now it's boring.

Nice shopping center. Very nice selection of stores.

Who can go without visiting green acres at least once in a life time. The best place to shop most of your favorite stores.

One of my favorite malls. Everything you need just in one spot. I recommend it:)

I had a blast at Green Acres Mall? My favorite part was definitely the massager. I did the whole 15 minute massage, and it felt so, so wonderful!

When you're coming out of Macy's there is concession stand that sells pretzels, ice cream cones and slushies. I'm sure they sell other things but I really can't remember exactly what. However they have a slushy that is Caribbean mango that is out of this world. I purchase one for myself, then I had to go back and get my sister one. Before I left them all I was working on my second one. THAT WAS THE BEST SLUSHIE EVER.

Very beautiful place to shop I will definitely always go back

The selection of stores are great but the parking lot is awful! You put your life in danger driving in the parking lot.

Good stores best buy target Walmart hone depot. One a top shopping

Diicks sporting goods was great had Top Flite Golf bag on sale and in stock 130 out the door As advertised

Mall is much better and improved ..Super Wal-Mart Home Depot..great food and shops if get used to the layout of the roads and its a breeze to navigate... Caution..go early to avoid traffic issues

It's ok. Getting better stores.

My childhood mall. Love everything about it. Nice spot for shopping ,food,desserts, costume made clothes, kids toys an little fun kid rides. It's always clean. There's parking, it do be packed for parking at times. Love it.

Variety of stores including eateries and banks. Parking is available. Enjoy a full day of shopping and relaxation at GAC.

It's fairly new over there nothing bad to really say The stores are pretty good over on that side of Green Acres

Nice experience I will go there every time I can to get my dog food Petsmart the food they have the dogs in the refrigerator in a skirt and some of them have two fish spinach chicken cabbage eggs pretty good yourself and giving it to her she been using the bathroom regularly pretty good at least three times a day or 4 that's very good

The mall gone down hill there's no real stores I here anymore COVID REALLY TOOK CONTROL OVER BUSSINESS

The place is really nice, I go there almost 2 time a month

Convenient location with loads of shops to go to. Green Acres Mall has multiple options to seek out from. Whether you’re looking for shoes, dresses, or even want to build a plush toy for a loved one, you’ll be able to find a store to fulfill those areas of needs. I love the selection and variety. The mall also have various booths outside of branded stores such as bubble tea, snacks and even have your fortune read. Great place to come hangout alone or with friends/family. Always look forward to stopping by at this mall!

I've been going to green acres mall for 40+ years. It's the largest mall in Queens. Plenty of variety and lots to do. It's also surrounded by large retailers like Target, Best Buy, and several larger restaurants. Easy to get to but lots of traffic. The closer parking fills quickly but there is more parking that needed.

I like this mall. I just wish the employers of the food court would hire more professional staff. Went to there and a staff member bluntly asked me and my friend "What you want?" I was shocked and stood there like a deer in headlights. She then stated "Yeah, you heard me. What you want?". My friend replied "Nothing from you" and we left. WOW! Other then that rude experience, I love the layout of this mall. Most staff you will find are professional. Just watch out while in that food court.

Plenty of stores. Alot to see. Can spend the whole day walking here! Lots of parking, shops and eateries.

The place is fine if you know what you're coming for. A basic mall, nothing special or fancy. Best for in-store pickups. 3.5 stars really, because the traffic is sooo bad getting in and out, especially out.

It's getting worse and worse yr by yr there. It's like they got too big too fast for they own good. The parking lots are a zoo and mismanaged along with the the way the roads are set up, it feels like they want u to get into an accident. Walmart there is ny far the worst. Security is non existent

Parking is usually good. Getting in or out can be tricky at times due to traffic. Traffic lights aren't too long however, roadway to lights are short and create jams for drivers.

Call ahead on some items to see if they have what you're looking for. Otherwise this is more of a "discovery" mall, where you kind of just "find things." A Cinnamon and Auntie's Anne's Lemonade, never disappoint ✨

One stop shopping for home, food, beauty supplies,clothing lunch and cold stone ice cream.. All it needs is a CVS or Walgreens pharmacy.

It's always fun visiting Green Acres Mall, lots of stores and restaurants. My favorites Walmart,Homegoods and Burlington. Of course there're lots more I like as you do too. Take a me time stroll, have brunch/lunch whatever. :)

Great place to do shopping there's a whole lot of other stores and the surrounding areas for your everyday needs

Love to shop here familiar territory. Express is my number one store besides Victoria Secret. Great selection in express and awesome management.

There are so many stores in Green Acres Mall, and it's always a pleasure to shop there. From the stores to the Kiosk workers to the little fun rides for children, these workers/associates are all attentive wanting to present you with their best service and wares.

Large mall with a large cluster of stores covering practically every wish or want. Served by several buses, LIRR, Belt and Cross Island Parkway, access is easy. Food court, activity centers and public seating offer a respite to the browse/shopping grind.

Full every day driving in this place is a zoo. But overall not a bad place to get what you need as far as a mall would go. If you looking for high ene stores not the place to stop.

Its an awesome visit everytime I go to this mall! There are tons and tons of stores of clothes, food, shoes, bags, and everything. I love those small shops lined up in the middle, there have best smoothies, snacks, bubble tea and much more!

This mall has changed over the years, it's a ghost town as far as stores are concerned. Macy's is the highlight the men's store is best. Updating is really needed this is New York after all. No apple store here or fancy food court just basic . Footlocker is probably the only other draw to this mall. It's sad but if you need a quiet place to shop at forever 21 or express them this is the place.

Crazy crowded for a Thursday/workday. Everything was stocked. Very helpful associates, not one person didn't know where to find what I came for (A clip on lamp. I did have to search the bulb section for a grow light bulb as it's not a standard. From one month ago, this store has upped it's game staff and merchandise wise. Savings make it totally worth the 20 minute drive.

Huge mall with many brand name shops. I was lucky, I went to two shops, both were quick in this holiday season. I didn't do much window shopping, only looked for what I needed. I guess it was plain luck. I'm thankful that it was quick! The people were helpful. The road in that local area had very heavy traffic…

I've been going to green acres mall for 6+ years. It's the largest mall in Queens. Plenty of variety and lots to do

Went to Walmart and BJ'S. Picked up some much needed items because my youngest granddaughter is with us for a week. Got everything I needed and came back home before 9:30am. Not too crowded during these times so everything went super smooth. Best to get in as early as possible.

In this time of Corona virus, we may feel isolated and lonely. However, we must focus on the fact that this too will pass. Stop listening to the news so much. Focus on life. This is your best moment yet! . Anyway I loved green acres! Always a relief!

Visited walmart at the mall. The first experiencing bagging items by self. Paper bags were cheap and all of them broke at the bottom. The best part was customer service and pleasant cashier.

Could be more lighter the mall inside. And the cars drive crazy in the area. No control. But is ok! They have a couple of stores you’ll need

Shopping is fine, just watch for nutty drivers while walking or driving. Parking lot barricades on the south store lots make traffic slightly saner, but perhaps better traffic patterns or lights might help.

[ shoot out incident ] This mall Is so horrible to the retailers I came to this mall to get my rings inspected at Kay jewelers and Zales. all of a sudden there was an emergency. Apparently there were gun shots and it was not the first time. ( can’t to anything about it right ? People do what they want) regardless of that you would have expected them to close down in the safety of their renters [all stores] nope. Instead of sending retailers home they carry on the day and tell people to open up despite of the crime that just happened seconds later. Shootings are real despite if the shooter ran out you never know if they come back or have people in the mall that want to steal from stores and so on. To them it’s all about make me money. They don’t care about the store employees. But company’s don’t care. Just make the rich richer right ? This is so upsetting and disturbing. Just open up the next day. Send them home.
