Reviews of Northwoods Mall (Mall)

Luis Garcia

New stores are good. Cleanliness and presentation of building were great too.

Jessica Ramsey

I love that not only is there tons of stores for shopping but there is a huge arcade/Bowling alley similar to Dave and Buster's so it allows us to get our fix without having to drive miles away.

Bob Handegan

I wouldn't let my wife or younger kids there in the evening or weekend ! To many thugs and gang bangees

Anthony Greene

A decent enough impromptu site to hold the Taste of Peoria - a LOT of room for lines but not enough space set up to seat diners; too much distance between vendors and seating

zero burn

Nice and clean place

Sean Cano

The gentleman working messed up both the order and the transaction so I was charged twice for one sandwich and proceeded to mess the sandwich up, taking a grand total of twenty minutes for a double charged sandwich. Would not recommend unless you have the patience of a saint

Alainie Lynn

fun shopping center, good food and activities

Belinda goodbody

Enjoyed the photo booth

Chandra Murali

Not the same place compared to a 3 years ago..

Lynn Young

ALWAYS nice

Jeff

Great mall with almost 100% occupancy. Food court could be a little bigger. Has a lot of variety. Lots of parking and additional stores near by.

Michael West

Ahahahahahahah I'm surprised this place has stores in it.

Rylee Lasley

It is a mall to go to every once in a while. I think it had a good variety of stores, but I would say the food choices are less than par.

nickole vaughn

This mall was great when I was a kid now it's just going down hill half the stores in it are gone or closing. Now they have a arcade and that's nothing but trouble, always a fight braking out. I don't even feel safe to go there anymore

Andrew Rhodes

We went to round 1. Spent a few hours play games. It is a little pricey for the amount of games and the quality of the games. We had the power go out three times. Over all every one was happy. The counter did refund. The mall over all was active but needs better shops. The round one was very unique the rest need to modernize. The hall seemes clean and well light.

Jon Ripper

Lovely mall, good selection of stores, round 1 is always fun, bathrooms are clean

Carol McGlasson

Called in order from Smoken Pit restaurant. Had pulled pork sandwich & fries. Excellent as usual!!

DSM Billy

It's a lot better now that the gangs are under control. This mall still has a way to go though. Very little is worth seeing, but the few good things it has are worth a trip.

John Lambert

Best mall ever they have everything here

James Wireman

I Love Sears a Round One, The Sears Was Formerly Montgomery Wards and The Round One Was Formerly Famous Barr and Then It Was Macy's For a Long While

Daniel Troyer

A good selection of shops. The prices aren't the greatest but there are a couple stores that are only in the mall.

Chad Lopez

Great place

Anthony Gallaher

They are always busy and a good place to just go and hang out at.

Melissa Mullins

The only reason I go here is because I have to in order to access the stores I need to get to. Otherwise it's not a place I feel safe. Fairly consistently I get approached by someone in the parking lot looking for money for one thing. Another issue is the time of day. I won't go there in the evening. Not to say you're going to be safe there during the day there have been issues with crime as well. I wish that my jeweler and my favorite clothing store was available at the shops at grand prairie because I feel like I'm gambling going to Northwoods. They either should up their security or limit the number of people who go there in the evenings so it's not so overwhelming.

sharon bumgardner

It's sad how all the stores are gone but I still like it especially Christmas. I have noticed a lot of people hanging around the mall a little more so than that used to be kind of scares you when you're by yourself.

Namarata Maheshwari

So many stores under one roof and round 1 bowling is different than others

Ben Sandefur

It's Where It's happen man

Brice Beecher

Great place to go shopping and hang around with your friends.

LaVon Steinborn

Don't remember, it was 2 yrs ago.

Aaron Adams

The Northwoods Mall is a good place to spend your money! With a variety of stores, ranging from sports memorabilia to jewelery, this mall has a bit of everything. I have heard people say that this mall can be sometimes shady, and I can somewhat agree (four stars). Despite that, this mall is a great place to go if you're in the mood to shop. If you're in the Peoria area and want to spend money, go here!

Alisa Bycroft

I love having lots of stores under one roof. I'm an 80's mall girl!

Jannai Johnson

Round One is a fun place for adults to let loose and have fun at 1am with drinks and hilarious arcade games.

Doris Douglas

Ideal place to shop for every person in your household!

Scott Smith

Great during the day but needs more Secerity during the night.

Adam Sours

Not much here anymore. What is there is rundown and dated. Pretty shady mall anymore.

Tina Johnson

A great place to shop lots of store to pick from

Felicia Smith

We had a great time at Round One for Father's Day 2019 for $1 bowling games and shoes.

emilio alba

All is five star in peoria i moved from a smaller town and peoria has its good places...

thefatmoop

Overpriced, not many stores, ghetto. Ive heard the owner of this mall is horrible to the store owners

Missy Bull

Plenty of stores to chose from and have always met friendly staff in every store I have gone to.

Michael

Still have some good stores, but it's going downhill quickly.

Bill Roberts

It's a fun mall to go to I like most of the stores an the arcade an the smoking pit has awesome BBQ

Hugh Griffith

Little small but had some rare stores that I liked. Food at Pizza Nuts was awsome. Definitely NY style pizza.

Jenna Helmig

I’m here right now. Everything’s fine besides it’s getting real getto down here

Sherry Murray

Lots of stores still open for business, but needs more security to ensure safety from the people of the arcade games. Rude and very mouthy. I would not let my children be unsupervised.

Kalia Jones

Go here at least once a week nice clean mall tons of places to shop and find what you're looking for!

Timothy Railey

The area has really went down hill. Safety could definitely be an issue here.

Dawn Mitchell

Great variety of stores. Place is clean and well-kept. Offers plenty of parking and has a good location. There have been many forms of violence break out during most of the trips I've taken there. They would benefit from an increase in security.

Mary Hoeniges

Went for an oil change got good service

Walt Thomas

It is a good place to shop more people need to shop in these stores so they stay open. Not everybody likes online shopping some like to actually see and try on things before buying

Gerry Horton

Slowly modernizing. Round 1 is fun for the kids.

skinie dicc nibba

I could give it 100 if I could

Heather Sundquist

Nice selection of popular stores with not a lot of empty spaces. Recently a huge arcade with a bowling alley was added on the 1st floor. Lots of restaurants nearby as well. Best in the area right now.

Bekki Klump

Love my couch I got.

Brittany Atkins

Pretty decent mall for being small

Nola Mccune

Great place to do most of your shopping indoors.

Myke Hawk

Pretty good sized mall, they still have some pretty decent stores there even considering the huge ones like JC Penney, Bergners and I beleive Sears as well has left. Still worth going for the shoe stores,music store,Buckle,Abercrombie,American Eagle, and many women and girls clothing stores. Victoria secrets is there too if your a weirdo and wanna sniff some panties. Lol I mean They even have an Asian rub-n-tug massage place for all your needs!!

CJ Wagstaff

Decent as always.

shellie slaight

Stores are closing and parts are getting run down...sadly it is becoming a hang out for less desirable folk. We have always done a great deal of shopping here...but not feeling safe anymore. There are still some nice store we would like to go to!

Shirley bauman

Bad service and works asked like I didn't exist

Randy Hazlett

I love Northwoods Mall it's a great place to shop and really clean especially love going to Penny's

Bethany Cullum

I love the shops but I wish prices would lower a little in some of them. It's great though

Sherry Drinkwine

Pretty nice mall. Wishing Star was our destination. A lovely little shop run by brilliant young Women!

Christine Krueg

Had a great time shopping

Ryne Holzhauer

Great, pretty nice mall with lots of options. It was nice to see him all that didn't have several empty storefronts. I think just about every storefront was filled with something. Lots of activities to including trampoline bouncing giant chess plenty of seating in the common areas lots of different food options many clothing options would definitely return to this mall. It was nice to see if full of people although they were all staring at their cell phones and pumping into one another as they walked around.

Carrie Schindler

This mall has just slowly declined. Many empty storefronts. Not much to draw people to shop here.

Jean-Luc Lee

It's okay. Good place to kill an hour or two, browsing. Nothing like it used to be.

Ryan

Great mall tons of shops and lots of choices for eats!

Vanessa Parker

I love the stores and the food court

Morgan Lela

Have always loved this place.

Dave Youngman

Safety has been an issue here for 10 or more years. Teens roam the mall in groups and are often disrespectful to shoppers - this is especially evident on weekends, during the summer, and on days when there is no school. Mall security serves as little or no deterrent - these people are often retirees. And no mall security staff is wearing a forearm!!! Advantage bad guys. Real police officers carrying real sidearms are "on duty" during the weekends and other heavy traffic days.

jimmy foster

I always love northwoods since i was a kid in the 80s

Rob P

This mall, like others see many constant changes. Ample parking, excellent security and has activities for the entire family beyond shopping. The Food Court is lame and pricey but tables are kept clean by staff. When visited, the pizza place had only one type of ready made pizza and the Chinese food place had $.50 refills-cash only. Would suggest nearby restaurants before spending money at the Food Court.

Adriel Weaver

This place is serious magic me and my family love it here the first place we go during TAX is this mall

Sebastian Merrick

It's gotten so much better these last few years, there are stuff to do that you don't have to pay for and the stores are so much more interesting.

Erika Barber

Going downhill unfortunately. This mall used to be the best! Probably because we shop so much online.

Matt

Shop here it's nice with lots of stores

madeline eastling

Very nice shopping mall.

Chad H

Huge mall with a ton of shopping options. Round One is dope. One of the last thriving malls in the area.

Omkar Rane

Very big and spacious place with various different shops in the mall. Amenities are very good

Megan Holliger

This place is getting pretty scary. I like to shop here because they have everything but I have witnessed fights and shop lifting! It’s really sad!!!

Amber Lenne

We had the Smoking Pit cater out wedding! We had great comments like this was the best wedding food we have ever had!!! Best family to work with too!

Dorothy OToole

Went walking which is a nice place to do so. Very welcoming

Rene Jackson

Lots of close parking. Got in and out in less than 30 minutes.

Night and Sky

Has good shops one of my favorite places to go in the Northwoods Mail is round one it is a fun place really nice too the hole place is so nice

Tim KsteGar

not bad...crowd a bit young on a Saturday 3

PhoebeSue

This place has gone from a beautiful, thriving mall to a real dive. Who on earth ever thought it would be good to put a huge gaming place in a shopping mall. It's brought nothing but trouble. I will be shopping there VERY infrequently.

KenDoll 331

All the stores are good, but the people who visit seem... Irate. Obviously it's not the store owners fault or the staff, but pick your trip based on time of day and week that's for sure.

Matt Zaring

This place has gone downhill a lot in the last few years. Used to be the happening place but now its pretty dumpy. Not a lot of selections for shopping or food.

Elisha Pentecost

It's the mall and has mall traffic but is literally getting this rating bc of the new pizza place called Cheesenuts!!!! It is the best pizza I've ever had in my life and the wings should be illegal they are so good!!!

Tekno Kittie

Nice Variety Of Stores

Stephanie Bump

Great day spent at the mall!! Took advantage of the massage chairs and LOVED IT!! Bowling alley and arcade are a unique and much missed feature in malls today. Great variety of stores and kiosks.

Dave Chadwick

Way better in the old days. Not much left, compared to 30 years ago.

Daniel Pozos

Great place to shop and walk

Steve Richter

I go here for the smo-king pit. I love their food. This place is run by great people who really know BBQ.

Eddy Reith

Always fun to shop

Eric Wilson

Lots of different stores. The service is usually very good.

Serina Duncan

Great place to shop!

Tyler Stone

In a world where the shopping mall is becoming a thing of the past. Northwoods continues to thrive above the rest. The maintain and awesome store selection as well as a great food court.

Patrica Smith

Everything I needed was in one area, thank goodness !

Troy Layne

Still holds up after all these years. Clean and fairly well stocked with stores. Not in its heyday, but still a good place to get some shopping done.

Morgan Hilliard

I love the mall, and I dont usally like shopping but the mall is so much fun, especially with friends

Celeste Sands

It's not like it use to be and JCPenney does not have the brands I like prices are higher!

Marissa Heady

Good shopping area for people in need of clothes but some of the prices are high

Tammi Pryor

Great shopping place

Annette L

Found what I needed. Variety of store to chose from.

Eric Shaffer

They're doing a really good job trying to bring in new "anchor" tenants for those outgoing. Tough job in a world that's going Digital for nearly everything. Smart move pulling in movie theater and furniture showrooms which require the large building structure and supporting facility (Parking Lots, Bathrooms, Food, etc.)

Nicole Geary

Only did Sears & just outside of Sears. Mall was empty. A few days later, heard about violence inside. Its not the mall, its the people who come in that bring the violence. Usually only in malls at Holidays. This was always a fave.

dammitmitchell

One of the nicer malls I have been to. There is a pretty cool arcade place inside.

Christina Constantinidou

Nice indoor mall.

Stacie Williams

Been going for years love the shops

Laverns Life

Didnt even go there google your trippin

Kris T

Lots of stores. Clean and not run down.

Michelle Zheng

Lots of shops and will definitely keep you there for the entire day.

bret cox

Mall is ok, they are making it better which is nice but the place is kind of small

Glenda Aberle

Love JCPenney's

Elijah Denny

Went to roomplace..very nice furniture..very big prices

Brent Phillips

It's a mall! Someone stole my daughter's Bath n Body bag while we were there!

Mandy Cordray

ROUND1 is so Fun!! Emma and I played several games and she won nice prizes!

We'reThe Thompsons

this mall is pretty much dead monday through Thursday but Friday through Sunday its hard to find parking also they have great stores but the food court only have 2 options they could do better with that

Jeron Sanders

Everytime I go I feel more stoppeed have left and the place seems drearier. Was hoping the few new places that they have added would turn things around, but it doesn't seem like it's happening.

nita brown

Loved this place a little noisy bit very nice place to lose yourself

emily

I live in Chicago and always stop by Smo King on way to visit parents in Peoria. The bbq is better than what I've found in Chicago. The meat is more tender, juicy, never dry. The seasoning of the sauce is perfect! The prices are much better than Chicago too! Highly recommend!!

I'м Dave

Good selection of stores, but doesn't seem to draw the crowds that it used to.

Crystal Greenwell

It's great being able to come to this mail and he able to go shopping and play arcade games

J. Doss

The floors was so clean and polished, I was afraid to walk across thinking I might fall. Great customer service, made me feel at home. I actually entered through a furniture store named Room Store or something.

foxxy trill

Its ok shops are leaving and its getting to scary just to walk through it...

Arnold Bartholomew

Payless Shoes closing they have shoes

King John Dough Bwoi Mann

I love this mall hands down a staple of this city

Jess

Good 2 level indoor shopping mall great variety of stores and restaurants

Georgette Buckhalter

Please just let it die already. Most stores gone. Food court is a joke. It's always damn near empty. The only thing good about it is round 1 and the BBQ spot downstairs is delicious. Unless you're going there for that, skip it

Patti Morgan

They have some good stores.

Zach Harrison

It’s a mall, pretty much what you’d expect, maybe a bit more ghetto.

Andrew Smithers

Every thing is over priced any to many dumb gangsters doing dumb things i dont care for the mall much at all anymore

Andrew Shelby

If you want a real review from someone local be sure to pay close attention to this matter and I will make you believe every word written. The ones who say that this mall is all so great! Which it was but it isn't no more. I personally have been numerous situations with being harassed by the security guards of this place and since the local news report of the huge fight that went on a while back I can assure you this isn't no flashy new stuff and walk out with bags kind of a place. If anything else I will recommend Spencers or hot topic at least those are the most common places within the mall.

Conservative Hippie

The mall was extremely clean and peaceful... It's a sad change from years ago as it was much more busier. Yet it's such a nice place to shop you don't have to deal with weather and there's so many different stores to look at! I wish some of the stores carry more lingerie though as pink and Victoria's Secret are limited...

Christy Romine

So many stores closing..iam saying in 2 yrs it will b shut down..pretty sad

Troy Craine

Nicest mall in Central Illinois. Still thriving!

Benz Lotus

Great for window shopping.......lots to see and do!

Cameron Wheeler

It's ok if you like the thought of getting mugged or in-between a gang fight.

Echo Faultline

I loved the arcade here. It was a real shock to see a mall full of people in 2019.

Sherie Loverkamp

This is a great two story mall. I enjoyed walking around and seeing all the stores. There was a good variety to shop from. Good food and snack choices even though we didn't eat. I found shoes and sunglasses at great prices. Highly recommend visiting here when you are in Peoria.

Haley Anderson

Ok mall, quite a few stores

Candice Lescallett

Enjoyed all shoping there.

Ron Coe

JC Penney is another great store can always find great products and clothing for great price s

Robert Tucker

Shops a little pricey. But good variety

Angela Caldwell

I was't at Northwoods mall bit a restaurant nearby.

Miranda Cole

There aren't many stores left. And really only one place to get kids clothes and I heard it's clothing..

Mason Theiss

This was one of the best malls that I’ve ever been to. Had all the shops that I wanted, although I couldn’t be there for long, it was still a really fun time.

Raymond Brandon

Across the street at Overstock furniture & mattress. Prices, and deals are the best in town. And there delivery, an set up team is great. With good prices also. Very knowledgeable about product, and polite.

jared ford

Great little mall

Cameron Siron

Not much to see here. Surprisingly, stores that have closed elsewhere are open here. Such as Sear's and J.C. Penny.

Kamia M

Knocker balls was pretty fun

Jason L. Rhoades

Nice mall

Gerald R Scherer Jr

We have ordered for take out for larger dinner parties and the food was always ready on time, the hot was hot and the cold was cold. their service was outstanding for us and well deserving of our five stars!
