Eden Prairie Center

I wanted to visit Kohl's. The closest one by my hotel was located at Eden Prairie Center. This mall is pretty good.

I don't wander around malls as often as I used to. My being at a mall depletes my bank account. I tend to do box stores and outlets these days. I shop at the stores that I need and I leave.

However, being on vacation and having far more willpower these days, I spent a good four hours at this mall and still have a decent bank account balance. It has my favourite stores, such as Kohl's, Target, and Barnes and Noble. Major department stores, such as Von Maur and JC Penney, are a part of this mall.

The food court is on the top floor. It has your usual fast food places, such as Subway and Sbarro, and more interesting selections, such as Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Pasta Zola.

This mall has some of my usual clothing stores, such as Gap, Old Navy, and Eddie Bauer. I like the selection of stores, including Epic Nails (it had customers both times that I had passed by), Auntie Anne's (I love pretzel dogs), and Tactical Urban Combat (shooting games with Nerf-like guns).

I'd like to come back here and watch a movie at the AMC. It looks huge.

This mall has everything that I like about a mall. It has shops that I like, which explains why I can spend a few hours here and not get bored.

Such a great mall! After recently moving to the area, I've really enjoyed shopping at Eden Prairie Center. Plenty of stores and places to eat. I really like that there is a Target attached! I also found it nice to have both a JCPenney and Kohl's at this mall, in addition to Von Maur being my favorite. Scheel's is also fun to check out.
I've noticed that there are several vacant shops though, so hopefully other stores decide to move in! It's very well laid out and clean. I definitely don't see this as a dying mall whatsoever.

The children's play area is perplexing. I remember my older kids having so much fun before they remodeled. Now it feels closed off from the rest of the mall which I'm sure adds security but I also feel like it makes parents less engaged with their children. At the old play place, parents actually had to walk around and watch their kid and then end up playing with them. Now, with the added door all you have to do is walk in and let your kid go. I do see the benefits of having the door and extra protection and it would make it easy if you had some computer work to do or a phone call to make. Overall, I feel it cleaner and safer but I don't know that we'll be back.

In lieu of the play area in the atrium, they have placed pay for machines like you'd see outside of a grocery store. It's a nightmare trying to get your kid out of this area of the mall without bribery! I appreciate the cleanliness like I've said. Give it a try, but set your bar low.

First time coming to this mall. Great to see a mall that's thriving very well in today's times. I love the stores they have there. Parking is easy to find for the most part. Everything about this place is modern and clean. Definitely love the food court they have here. Definitely a great alternative if you don't want to deal with the tourists at Mall of America.

This mall has changed a lot from when I used to visit it as a kid. Lot of good stores and stuff to do with family. Good shopping and dining options.

Like others have mentioned, this isn't the mall of America BUT it is a great mall.

There are lots of great stores to shop at. They have lots of great clothing stores, shoe stores, Barnes & Nobles, Hallmark, AMC move theater, etc.

There are also a lot of places to eat such as Panda express, Pastazola, etc.

It's worth checking out if you're in the mood to shop or just to pass time.

Great mall that is well kept.

We go here almost weekly because it's in Greta shape.

We really enjoy how easy the parking always is.

Nice Mall eclectic in store variety with ample parking. It has a good flow with a nice variety of food choices.

We just relocated and are driving around, looking at places, just to get our bearings and find places that have things that will meet our needs. We had gone to find Costco (for future shopping), and stumbled upon this shopping center! It's a clean, safe environment that has everything we would need, and then some!

This is a mall, updated to current standards, with plenty of stores to suit your everyday needs.

No it isn't the Mall of America, but if you want that it is only 10-15mins down the road. For a ring city mall, it is pretty standard.

I've never had too many issues here, but parking can get out of control during the holidays so watch out. Probably my favorite feature of this mall is the attached Target store.
