This mall has everything you need, except a book store. Other than that, there's an abundance of kids stores: Gymboree, Children's Place, Gap Kids, Build-A-Bear, Janie & Jack, Pottery Barn Kids, Claire's, Sears, JC Penny, Macy's, Bon Ton, Lord & Taylor and there is a toy store too. Older kids can shop at Abercrombie, Hollister and many others. Younger kids love to ride the carousel in the food court for $1. There is a ton of places to eat or get a snack. For coffee, you can got to Gloria Jeans or Starbucks. There is valet parking in the front of the mall and a Regal Movie theater behind it that you would drive to. This is the best mall in Rochester in my opinion. Love it!
Eastview Mall in Victor, NY is the best, nicest mall in Upstate NY. Great for families of all ages, has some of the nicest stores and restaurants. Including Coach, Sephora and BCBG. Restaurants include Biaggi's, Champs, and PF Changs. All 3 are delicious and worth every penny. The mall holds a Starbucks in the center of the court with a seating area in nice luxiourous leather chairs to take a break in. Great mall!
When it's broiling hot outside, freezing cold, raining cats and dogs, or just a boring day, you can head over to the Eastview Mall and find ways to make a bad day better. If you love to shop there are tons of shops, with great restaurants. The mall is always clean unlike some that I've been to. The food court definitely caters to the young child with Burger King there. Their Mac&Cheese meals will calm any kid eating solids. I think the biggest draw for parents with kids, though, is the 2 story carousel. It's just $1 to ride for the kids, parents ride free to escort them. We always use it as a bribe to keep our kids behaving themselves. No riding the horses before we leave unless you behave. Be sure to hit the Starbucks stand for that latte buzz fix, and then hit the Lindt chocolates store..they're very often handing out free samples. Without KB Toys anymore, there's no whining and crying about going into an overpopulated, over priced toystore. Instead there's a nice toystore with a lot of old fashioned toys, and more set out for the kids to play with over by Starbucks. If you're a work from home type, take your laptop. Starbucks has WiFi there. Just outside the mall itself in the "commons" as they call it, is a BJ's where you can do some grocery shopping, a Target to get that Target fix in for the day, Old Navy incase that's your thing, a movie theatre (Regal Cinemas), and soon...this is my fave...an LL Bean. Definitely going to be hitting that store for some great boots and coats for the winter months next year...I believe it's scheduled to open in about July 2010. The only downfall is that this mall doesn't have a play area for the kids. I wish it did which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
