PV Mall has been completely torn down for redevelopment. The only things left as of October 2021 are J.C. Pennys, Costco, B of A bank, the library, the parking garage, and the restaurants and car wash on the outer perimeter of the parking lot.

This is one of my dream places to visit. This is one of my favorite shopping malls in the neighborhood. This mall is one of my favorite shopping destinations because it is well-designed and offers great deals. There were many lovely rooms to choose from. The staff is friendly and supportive. This location was both amazing and funny!

Well laid out mall and convenient access to all stores. But, JC Penneys and Macys were almost empty, even on a Sunday. Forget Costco unless you need an industrial size jar of mayonnaise. Its congested and parking near the store is real hassle.

This place is old and needs updating. The store occupancy is low and the stores that are there arent anything great. On the other hand it serves a purpose - the cheap movie theater is nice if you want to see many movies without spending too much. We mainly go for the childrens play area - it gets us through the hot summers

I went to the shopping mall with my family and bought some groceries. Suddenly, I met an old friend of mine, and they really enjoyed shopping. Since it has a nice environment, a really tidy and clean location, I really like the mall. Go to this mall and enjoy it if you need a stress-free experience. The place is amazing and a happy place to go.

A decent spot for shoppers! Their goods are of high quality and everything is very inexpensive. My mom was so pleased with the clothes I bought from here, that they suited her nicely. The color was so pretty, and for every reason, it was best to wear. Heavily recommended!

This shopping center is the best if you are looking for a massive and spacious mall! It has a fine dining restaurant that is picture perfect with a fantastic scenery outside. We will come back and suggest the place to my friends and family.

Well, its time has come.Paradise Valley Mall, after approximately 43 years, is closing its doors permanently, and being demolished and redeveloped. It was inevitable, but sad.This mall, despite being dead, is so beautifully designed. I love the entrances and skylights.Its too bad it died. It was cool a decade ago and earlier.

This mall in this area was indeed a great place to spent your weekend and do shopping as well. They had lots of great deals. The food court was so big and has great options that you could choose from. The stores were all organized. The comfort room was so accessible. Each floor has customer service. A must-visit mall!

Hate to see it go, sad!😧🙁 I had been going to this mall ever since 2003. Loved and enjoyed this place very much! Always liked walking around inside as well. I guess Pennys will go to? Shopped here all the time. Also Dillards and Macys too. Will remember this mall with such great memories!💭🏗

My daughter and I have been shopping around town for a couple of weeks to find a dress, and then we found this boutique. What an amazing experience! The sales associate was absolutely the best! She took time out to show us the perfect dresses that fit my daughter’s shape and personality. I strongly recommend this place!

As someone who came here during childhood a lot I never expected to grow up and document its slow death, the older I’ve gotten the more I realize that some things don’t stay foreverBefore it started to descend the mall was always a good experience,,,,,There were good people and good stores along with good staff i remember playing in the play area waiting for my mother to get out of jc pennies and now I sit outside the play area knowing that no kid will be able to experience it just the way some of us didRest In Peace the best mall ever?

The parking structure has the word security plastered all about the place. However, as there are no cameras, and my Catalytic Converter just got stolen while parked within it, Im going to take a wild guess at how secure the parking structure really is.

Basically a parking lot for Costco, but the people still working in here are great, love to go and support as much as I can, wish it stayed longer, I grew up in this mall and remember when it was bustling and vibrant, it makes me a little sad to see it rezoned but optimistic for what will come!

Nice indoor mall and lots of shopping options. Play area for kids is really nice and there is also a train rides. Carousel and other rides for small kids keeps them engaged. Some nice food options as well and Costco is nearby too. Covered parking is nice for summer days.

Review №27

Few shops open — really not much here. Three food places, food doesn’t look fresh or appealing. Definitely a dying mall and covid only help close what few shows had remain. Very few open. A cookie bar looked good but no one running it. Sad. Definitely be keeping in mind not to go here again. Unfortunately.

Review №32

So far, because of its away from where Im used to, my favorite place to go shopping, out, and while its busy, but even if it feels private. I typically go to get Chipotle or Korean noodles. The food court is fantastic. Pretty delicious, btw. Though its a little far but worth it, there are podium vibes in the community nearby.

This shopping center is very spacious, with one shopping floor and one dining area, with a large walkway on the first level. Im just so impressed with their commitment to customers!

Review №34

Its a nice mall. They only thing I didnt like was an employee at a kiosk. His job was to sell toys but his tactics were manipulative. He would set out walking animals in the space in which people walk, way outside his area; trying to get kids to pick them up and go to him.

I expected Paradise means the fancy scene Mall entrance and inside. Appearing it looks so plain and simple. Glendale, AZ on Bell Dr is the best so far for regular shopping with beautiful scenes, and inside are mostly updated.

Husk of a mall of what it once was. Very few store chains, but that allows a lot of smaller businesses to flourish, which is a good thing. Nice place to walk around and escape the heat.

I think the shopping here is sub par. Fashion square gives you a higher quality of products and brands in comparison to the area the malls are in. Paradise valley is a rich area. Id expect more fancy stores and options

Roberta who runs the beautiful carousel by the food court was so very wonderful today! She was very friendly, enjoyed conversation with her and the carousel ride with my kiddo. It was only $2 and it has to be one of the most beautiful carousels I’ve seen in the valley. She was kind enough to take our photo when the ride was over. Roberta also informed me of the Kids Club that the mall has and the wonderful experience the kids have that attend it. What a great lady who enjoys her job and kids! We’ll be back!Also, the ladies the run the train by JC Penny also could not be nicer! They are always happy, love what they do and always remember me and my kiddo when we come to ride! They all do such a great job and the mall is lucky to have them!

Review №50

Malls used to be a thing in the early 2000’s at the latest however, things are really dying out now. The selections of in person shopping are diminished and not as needed anymore because of the recent events everything is moving to an introverted online shopping platform now. The food selections in the food court are still quite wide and reasonable however, store selections aren’t as great compared to its mall competitors such as chandler fashion square mall or Scottsdale I would rather drive the extra 10-20mins to get to those malls instead of this one. The only thing great is probably the cheap movie theater that does have showings of new movies at low costs and they do “fill” Harkins cups cheaper than buying a new drink from them. Although, they may not be open during this time I sure could use a date night again with the wife :)!

Review №53

I live very close to the mall and go here quite often. There has been a very steady decline in the selection and quality of shops here. The service at stored is of a extremely low standard and the cleanliness could definitely be worked on. Some areas are dim do to lights going out and many of the nicer stores are closing leaving below decent shoddy stores in their wake. Over all I believe they should redo or replace this mall, definitely would not visit 1/10 or 2/5

The Paradise Valley Mall really is quite a nice mall.It is located in quite a nice part of town but still a place that is someone down to earth as well. You’re fine food and shopping and all the typical mall life stuff you can think of at this mall. It is great that this place is still around because a lot of these indoor malls are seeming to have trouble in recent times.

Review №62

Although this mall is okay, it doesnt have much of a typical shopping mall vibe. Its a small mall compared to the dozens of outlets and shopping marketplaces in Phoenix. There is a nice kids playground, some shops, and a puppy place, but theres not really any fun experiences here made for the family other than the carousel in the front and a small movie theater. The restaurants, such as Thai Basil and Chompies are great, though! Its still a nice place to hangout, especially for the locals.

I loved coming here when I was younger and lived in the Phoenix area. They had a great food court and a GREAT sandwich place that offered amazing food (dont know if its still there, but Im dying to have a sandwich from there again! Unfortunately, I dont know the name of it! ☹️) anyway, the mall is a really nice, friendly place to take your kids. 😊

Review №68

Dillards isnt in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act /ADA. Theres no automatic door opener on the outside to access the store. Or on the inside to leave. They have a sign posted stating that an employee will assist you. How will the employee know that you are out there? And there are two sets of doors!! Its like this at the Arrowhead store as well.

We were not actually at the mall, but at Costco which is located on the outer circle. We go to this one when we are craving Beef Short Ribs. Yum. Our regular location does not normally carry that particular cut and the Hub really likes them so we travel. We like that this locale has quite a few different offering than our regular stop. Variety is indeed the spice of life.

For a skeleton mall, they keep it going with some decent stores. I hope the mall sends Costco a thank you note every year, the trickle effect from Costco keeps this place alive. Some interesting shops inside.

Review №77

Paradise Valley unfortunately seems to be a dying Mall. I keep coming back hoping to see that more of the empty stores and restaurants have been filled, but it has been years and it doesnt seem like change is coming anytime soon. In its heyday it was one of the best hangouts in North Scottsdale, but in recent years it has waned with the arcade going out along with many big-name restaurants and stores. It is in such a great location and the surrounding businesses in the outer hub are doing so well, it is surprising to see how dead the mall can be even on a Friday or Saturday. We still love to come to the mall for a pretzel or some ice cream, but it would be great to see more stores come in and be part of this great location.

Review №78

What can I say? This mall is dying a slow sad death, but somehow continues to be a relaxing environment to get your steps in while enjoying the air conditioning. Most of the stores are now closed, the movie theater was so-so before it closed, and the food court is just okay. As a mall, I would rate it 2 stars but I will, however, give this mall an extra star for its janitorial staff. They continue to keep this place spotless and always greet you with a friendly smile :) It has a pretty cool VR gaming store, and glow-in-the-dark minigolf, and a CHOMPIES attached!

Review №79

So sad this once great mall is a shadow of its former self. Too many retail stores moved out or closed down due to the order online trend. It’s ruined the happy shopping experience that was the community center of most metro malls. At least this mall still has a few good stores left to explore and it’s a nice clean safe place to walk Thru.

You have to visit Garden Enchantments. The owner is awesome. They have neat stuff and they send you emails for the monthly sales. They have awesome deals. I dont walk out with less than $100 worth of product. The solar section is my favorite. Swing by. You will not be disappointed!!

I know Make seem a thing of the past, but sometimes a gal or guy needs to shop. Hands on you can try it on try it out, have a bite to eat, see a movie, have dinner, hand out at a brewery, or just walk around and reminense. There is something for everyone, young, old clothes, or RC cars. You will find what you are looking for and have fun too

Time to update the review, below you will find my original review. Well the times they are a changing as the song said. Today I visited the mall, the first time in months. The combination of malls shuttering and dying,covid and companies closing has turned PV mall into another sad shopping mall. Walked in to the Chompies entrance and right away notice TMobile is gone,Dillards opens at 12, Victoria secret gone, Aveda gone, Justice gone,Helzberg diamonds gone and many more 🥺. The mall is still well maintained and you wouldnt believe the foot traffic ( although its just mall walkers). Just walking half the mall I seen about 50 people!!!!!I couldnt help but think this foot traffic is what the stores needed and wanted....but no one is here to shop . It makes me sad because I once roamed these malls as a teenager, finding unique purchases. A new era is upon us where Im thinking malls wont survive the next few years.4 years ago/4stars......One of the very few malls that are still an actual mall. Great array of stores in and around the property. Always clean and overall safe property.

This mall is great if youre looking for a mall to power walk in! Ive had very fond memories from my childhood at this mall and occasionally come here since its close to me.

Review №94

PV Mall is always nice. Its probably the least busiest mall in North America but its nice to have a calm place to come shop. It does need some updating and theyve been talking about that for years but, the same group that owns this mall owns Fashion Square about 15 minutes away so they will probably never update this place. Still, nice place to come shopping to chill out.

Review №99

Took my daughter to the mall today and I was really surprised how unfriendly and unwelcoming the environment was there. There were no benches or sitting areas and no ambience or holiday spirit other than a few cheap garlands hanging so often.. Almost nobody there, I suppose its a good place to go if you have a predetermined reason or store there that you need to visit but not the typical Mall you would want to go to with family and friends to hang out or have a good time. Of course I have to take into account that I was going in the middle of a weekday so maybe its different on the weekends or at night.
