University Park Mall

This Is A Very Good Mall Like Awesome + There’s A Bounce House Place For Kids 12 And Under Its Cool My Dad Takes Me There Everytime We Come Here Also They Have Pretty Good Stores Some Are Good Some Need Improvements And The Food Court Has Alright Food So I Give This Place 4 Stars Cause It’s A Good Mall Don’t Be Rude And Peace Out.

I like this mall. It’s clean. They have pretty good stores. Descent food court grub. It’s a nice place, especially through the week to go if you have time to kill and maybe want to do a little shopping or grab something to eat.

University Park Mall is a great mall! There is a wide selection of stores to choose from, the layout is easy to navigate, and the walkways and bathrooms are clean. Its not just a standard boring mall though as there are a variety of stores accessed from the inside and outside. I think its a cool place to hang out.
The thing that I love the most about the mall is some of the stores devotion to being involved in the community. Barnes and Nobel is always having some sort of event going on that is fun, unique and interactive. They’ve had «Batman» days, prize give aways for kids pledging to write everyday for a month straight, and read aloud groups for kids and adults alike. I also love the «kids club» put on by the mall. When you sign up and pay the yearly fee (I can’t remember exactly how much maybe… 40 bucks?) you get a book of coupons every month, free train ride tickets, a t-​shirt, and the chance to spin the prize wheel every time you go to the mall. The prizes are cheesy little trinkets that make the kids go crazy and its fun to watch them get excited about winning something. I also love that its not just a bunch of chain stores either. There are a few unique boutiques that are locally owned which is excellent for our community!

Was very surprised and delighted to find a mall of this caliber here. Before you think I’m some sort of mall snob let me explain. When we first heard we were moving to the area we got a lot of sympathetic looks and were told it wasn’t a great place. Turns out everyone was wrong! We love the area and all the available resources, this mall being one of things we really enjoy.
I love that Barnes and Noble is attached to the mall. A mall without an attached bookstore is lame. The anchor stores are my favorite ones and I love that forever 21 is there too. Combining outdoor indoor stores is different and adds character to mall and area.
New things are on their way too. Stores are renovating and it just keeps getting better.
Very happy to have a mall like this in our new home.

Typical suburban mall with the usual stores. They have a nice selection of restaurants attached. From what I’ve seen there is a good mix of young and old at this mall.

Like any mall, it’s expected for teenagers to roam here. That’s where they usually hang out so I don’t understand the recent reviews on this issue? Have we gotten too old to remember? Also, this mall is always having some sort of transition seeing what stores work and what don’t. We live in Mishawaka, IN not the metropolitan of Chicago. The stores that are here suits the demographics. I only go to very few stores, if not — there is always online shopping. This mall has come a long way and I think it’s an improvement from before.

I judge malls based on store selection, and there are lots of stores I like in this mall. This includes aerie, Aeropostale, Charlotte Russe, Victoria’s Secret, American Eagle, Auntie Anne’s, Chik-​Fil-​A, Claire’s, Five Guys, Forever 21, Hollister, Pacsun, Payless, and Wet Seal.
This is a pretty big mall, and it seems like there is some summer construction going on, as there seems to be cement for half the floors. Since there is only 1 story, this is a very long mall, so you sometimes need to walk a long distance to get to certain stores.

Lets begin with the fact that I am not a mall person. That said, the parking lot is a frustrating mess at this place. Kinda throws the mood off before you even go in. I honestly could do without almost the whole place. 90% of the time I only frequent Barnes & Nobles, Flat Top, or Sears.

It’s ok. Not nearly as big as I had hoped, but does have some good stores in it.

Very nice clean mall. Besides the friendly staff at almost every shop or stand, this is your typical Mall with the usual shops. Decent food court with a nice variety of choices.
There are two distinct areas of this Mall that bring it from 3 to 4 stars:
First: the Children’s play area — This Area is great for kids to run around in and play. My nephew and nice have a great time playing with other kids and running around the obstacles. Plus, this area is free.
Second: The jumping/​bouncing ride they have for the kids. My niece loves this ride. They strap her into this giant bungle type cord and she bounces up on a trampoline. She does flips in the air and laughs they whole time. Although there is a fee to ride, it’s totally worth it and there is always a line which shows how popular this ride really is.

Different than the other malls I have been to, in a good way

UP Mall is the best mall in Northern Indiana. The other regional malls around South Bend/​Mishawaka have gone into terrible decline or have been redeveloped completely. This mall has stayed ahead of the curve and continues to attract stores that people want to shop at and are willing to drive the distance for.

Dirty bathrooms. Quite the collection of people roaming about in this mall. Nothing really remarkable about this place. Very much like every other mall I’ve been to.

Not bad for a mall

Best mall in the area. Nowhere else I’d rather shop, short of Michigan ave in Chicago!

The mall’s «top notch security team» throws out grandparents for taking pictures of their grandchildren in the food court.
Weak!

University park mall has a lot of choices for shopping pleasures.
Macy’s, American eagle, sears, jcpenny, gap, hollister, abercrombie, bath and body works, ben’s pretzels, and much much more!
