Great fun for all ages - My kids had a blast. Rides for all ages
Really appreciated the extra thoughtful things like coloring and free tatoos for my little one while the big kids went on ride after ride
Lots of kosher food options in the park itself as well as in the mall - very helpful!
Once we left the rest of the activities in the mall kept us busy for hours
We will for sure go back
Love to bring tourists from other countries straight to this amazing mall

A whole day of fun - This is a huge mall which can fill your entire day (even with kids). Between different attractions, food and shops, everyone can find something to do. the mall is easy to navigate and there are plenty of restrooms (mostly clean) and water fountains to fill your water bottle.

Not worth the price of admission - Fun rides. Long lines, over crowded, felt dirty. Women’s room had no toilet paper and stalls were not clean. Toddler play area did not feel well maintained. Very expensive day, not a great value. Did not enjoy the live shows and the character meets were reparative with only 2 characters (1 ninja turtle, 1 paw patrol) the whole day. We will choose to skip the park and explore other attractions at the mall moving forward.

Not impressed, several maintence issues - Took my family to celebrate my child's birthday. We went on a Saturday and expected it to be packed for Spring Break, but it wasn't at all. Problem is that several of the rides weren't open, under maintence. We checked the app and knew of 3, but when we got there, 2 more were shut down. We only went on 4 of bigger rides, but even with that, they kept shutting down rides randomly. 3 rides we were on line for, was told to come back in 5 minutes for maintence and that they do so randomly, so it doesn't have issues?? With these shut downs, we went on the Shredder, to wait 40 minutes and so did everyine else apperntly. It might not seem like a long wait, but with an empty park and half of the rides closed, we were very disappointed. We had gotten the twilight passes and could have easily been on all of the rides, IF they were working properly. Several other patrons also said the same, and that we won't be returning.
I would suggest adding ride wait times to your app, besides maintenence of rides, which was not current while we were there. It may help people decide to not waste money and return later when more rides are open.

DO NOT recommend - We went on spring break week - it wasn't very crowded but I think I discovered why. Same impressions as the other reviews.
Pros:
It's pretty
Cons:
While the rides are good for a small venue, half were closed
1/2 hr wait on big ones that were open
$79 ticket price is outrageous - especially if you have a large group.
Food/snack prices are outrageous for sub-par food.
Music is far to loud for such a slow paced environment
Attention of staff is lethargic and disinterested at best.
The blue train ride had 1/2 hr wait and was NEVER loaded fully, always 1/3 capacity - why?
Parking for the mall is atrocious! Severe lack of signage and direction, people veering around all over and inside the parking decks when they suddenly see where they needed to go - would rather drive through Newark airport.
There was and incident of some type while we were there on the back ride. The staff were scrambling around like untrained ants trying to block off a vast area - after some time, they reopened the surrounding space but not the ride. Determining whether the ride would be open was apparently priveliged information.
Negatives far outweigh the positives though = I do not recommend unless you money to burn and time to waste.

Not Worth It! - Opposite our amazing time inside the Waterpark, this experience was a complete waste of time and money for our family with teens. When we arrived, there were 3 major roller coasters closed. We were able to do a total of 2 attractions and that was it. We would recommend this for young children only. Spend your money elsewhere!
