REVIEWS OF Southdale Center IN Minnesota

matthew mcdonald

Cool place, remodeled and improving daily. Future library and Life time Fitness center.

janelle neal

First indoor shopping center still very nice

Thor Engebretson

I grew up at that mall, love it.

Jason Helms

Oldest Mall in America!

Terry Carlson

Southdale is quite a nice mall

John Erikson

What! A Security service car cruises thru the centers parking lots each morning, giving parking ticket(s) for those vehicles that are either parked overnight or early morning prior to the Mall opening. Be very careful when, where, and time of day you park your vehicle at this center. Seniors using the Mall for early morning walking should be aware.

Andrew Hou

The first indoor shopping mall in America, the world even, designed by Victor Gruen himself! It's a little old and sad nowadays, but there have been good efforts to revive the place. You can catch a movie at AMC, wander about the storefronts, enjoy the skating rink, and grab a bite to eat at the food court. I'd say it's worth checking out at least, even if just to say you've done so

Josh Riesing

Went there on a date. Pretty cool. Restrooms are very clean

Fowler BoyZ Gaming

Great place for movie night

Alex wilson

good size mall, second favorite after MOA

Minnesota Man

Still the first and soon to regain its status of The Best.

Samantha Crowther

Love this mall! I have been a frequent visitor since my high school days. It's been recently updated and the decor is amazing! Cant say though that I am crazy about the new stores that were put in

Umang Agrawal

This mall is not usually as crowded as other malls. Have got numerous stores with good number of restaurants. AT&T, Sprint and finish line, Apple, Macy’s, few premium brand stores are here. Cheesecake Factory also has a branch here. There is a huge renovation work going on from the transit station side

Ben D

Good mall. Good variety, theater, restraunts. Has endured for many years and looks to be on the up-and-up with additional development in the area

Kamal Kapoor

I with my wife visited Southdale Mall . We really enjoyed the place, crowd and food and shopping. Worth a visit.

Janice Willis

Several shops to choose from. The mall was kept very clean.

Mike Scott

60 customers in line. System should be evaluated and restructured.

Brittany Oliver

We come here for the Cheesecake Factory!

Grimm Progress

Well kept small with decent parking. Be careful of the hanging chain near Dave and Busters. Has many options for shopping and great lighting.

Erika Rozell

Large mall, seemed super empty but was able to find things pretty quickly for my first time being there.

Bill Ventura

The original mall should be standing so tall, still one of my favorites.

John Canessa

Cheesecake Factory. Huge menu and seems to be getting bigger every time we stop by. Large and tasty portions. Had to take home some cheesecake.

Johnny BLESSED

I love the AMC theater great benefits great movies much more

Raghava Rao Gundala

Nice place for both gender wear.

Julie Haugen

The AMC is the only reason to come here. The layout is very confusing. A full third of the stores are closed. The office doesn't even bother being open when people are in the mall, so if you have an issue, sucks to be you. They don't even bother maintaining their amenities like lights or vending machines.

Laura Keiser

Clean, quiet mall with a nice selection of stores. I love the WW Studio here!

Keshaun Karn

I am a breastfeeding mom and these bathrooms that said nursing on the flr at the food court they did not have chairs in them. I had to sit on the floor with my baby. And the on top of that they were not clean. The mall itself was very nice and had great stores.

Kathy James-Green

Love u juut

Charles Behrman

Not many stores of interest for the fellas

Tom Stiff

Very good selection of stores

Thegyrles Sodaynjerous

Love Dave and Busters

Krisalina Davis

Stopped at Hennepin County Service Center. Helped me a few minutes after closing. I greatly appreciated it. Others did have to leave before being helped.

Dan Samudio

Went to see a movie. Love the reclining lazy boys chairs! Ordered tickets online and walked right in!

Lowstrider

It just on average shopping center. Needs more variety of stores. Was a better shopping center 15years ago...

Aaniyah Morgan

Southdale center is pretty nice it has a movie theater inside also this wonderful 80’s themed pizza restaurant I absolutely love it there and would high recommend and the stores aren’t really all of that but it’s very decent amount of stores for the sized mall

Sara Benik

Very clean and beautiful architecture, nice layout.

Macari2

An amazing mall if you don’t like to be around to “many” people!!

Bhaskar Ravishankar

Slightly inconvenienced by the ongoing construction in the mall. Some parts were closed. The mall as such is a nice place with several shops and excellent restaurants. Cheesecake factory and PF Chang's are simply great. Must try.

Mary Moellenhoff

Excellent parking. Went to Dave and Buster's with a group from work.

Ralph Jenson

The world's first indoor mall if my memory serves. Nice theater, a lot of construction in the area (Fall 2019) makes getting in and out a little difficult, but that should all be over soon right?

Stephanie Clausen

I love this mall and all the shops that are in there. A little higher quality. The AMC theatre is a nice reclining theatre. Food court has plenty of options. I usually have a great experience with all the employees who work within this shopping center.

george nomb

love the movie theatre here and the food options are great

Melissa Prostrollo

Well kept mall, ample parking, good restaurants, nice variety of stores and very nice movie theater. Cheesecake Factory will always be one of my favorites.

Stephen Austin

Still love the original mall.

Rachel Bonitz Knits

I really liked what I saw here. My favorite thing was the play area sponsored by Games By James.

Dave Campbell

Been going here since 1966. Upscale.

David Javashtc

Clean and easily accessible.

Greg Bauman

Easy in and out.

Gwen Lewin

This Mall has really gone down hill. Other than Macy's, there are no other large anchor stores, since Herberger's closed. You can go there any day of the week and not have to worry about bumping into a lot of people. I really don't know how the stores there are surviving without hardly any foot traffic.

Cameron Pauly

I went to Dave and Busters and had a good time in the mall

Marsela Magana

Nice mall, great store and sales! Lots of different store options and food options. These are some watches I seen at Micheal Kors.

Mya Ammar

A good selection of stores are found in this center and it isn't too crowded.

Dan Carroll

The first mall in the USA

livelifenoisy

Nice relaxing atmosphere for just walking around and perusing the shops. Quite the oppoaite of the Mall of America's frenetic touristy energy. And Panda Express' food is awesome!

Julian Molina

When to see a movie nice seats they have ,go when you are here in Edina,Mn

Mike Deiman

Beautiful Mall. One of the best in the Twin Cities.

Shoshy Zahtz

I went in an amazing Breast Cancer awareness walk today!

Tootie Tootie

Love the Dave and Busters inside Kool spot

Dhona Sanders Williams

Really great place for shopping and people watching

Tara H

Date of Visit: 2/8/2019 - Another failing mall. We arrived at 6:30PM on a Friday night, and walked halfway around the mall and saw only two shoppers. Looking in the stores, they were void of customers, typically with only one bored sales clerk sitting behind a desk. A lot of the mall is encompassed with empty store fronts. This would be a decent place to go for a walk, but we didn't even see any mall-walkers.

Nicholas Schluessler

I love the seating in the Dolby theatre.

Erin Yaz

I like this place better than MOA because it's not as crowded. I can also find more sales items at various stores. Lifetime will open there in the near future!!

Kimberly Bane

its an okay shopping mall. a but empty at times though, so the vibe is off. but i do like some of the stores and the movie theatre

Anil Maddimsetti

Fun Fact: This is the worlds first indoor mall. The great thing about Southdale is its easy access to majority of south west metro and south metro, with majority of stores that you will be needing for quick stop along with easy parking and food options around.

Greg Craft

Out of all the malls in the area this one has the greatest history and is always changing

Jon Smith

Nice clean mall.

Irma Gonzalez

Visited the DMV located at this mall. Fast and painless. The mall is clean and has nice stores and food court. Gave it 4-stars because of the construction going on right next door impacting the parking lot.

Debbie B

Nice clean mall with great stores and even a DMV.

Marvin Hackley

Went to DMV renew my license. DMV messed up still hasn't got it have to go in Wednesday and renew my temporary license. Nicely remodeled. Putting large addition on North side, was told will be Lifetime Fitness. I always liked Southdale for shopping and entertainment. More relaxed than Mall of America. MUCH MORE LOGICALLY CONFIGURED PARKING. Mall of America seems to be made for Transit users at the expense of people who drive.

Robin Lindberg

I don't know. Google got it wrong again

Ezra.K

It isn't bad It has AMC theater

msp airporttaxicab

Very good mall

Tinamaria S

Went to bounce town. Very simple, small but fun for a 4yr old. Would be nice if some kind if gate or bell sounded when someone walks out.

Rebecca Novak

This is a Great shopping Center. Lots of Great stores to choose from.

Spiritualized Kaos

This is the first mall that opened in the United States. Today is a dead mall. By the way, there is not a plaque, or at least I did not see it, that indicates its historical importance.

Bruce Byron

Went to Dave and Busters upstairs. Enjoyed the visit.

Paul Leintz

Great mall! Thankfully not as crazy as the Mall of America.

Michael Dockman

I'm typically here to eat at Smash Burger and go to a movie. Was one of the first 500 customers to walk through the door with my maternal grandmother back in the 60's

liam heidecker

It the go to place for a shopping spree or just a relaxing day at the mall.

Erik Daniels

This mall is kinda sad if you ask me. Not many stores, also there is so much open space that it seems unfinished and empty (which it feels like it is). It does have some cool stores, it was much better 9-10 years ago. But now It doesn't compare to Ridgedale or MOA

calebgarn

Clearly it made sense for this to be the first indoor mall in the country... sadly it doesn't make sense anymore. I hope they find a good use for it or the land. It's kind of depressing to walk around in. I'm not sure what will become of it but I hope that it can keep Edina's economy strong.

anjan kumar

Not visited many times ..but it’s nice place ..

Cheryl W.

Went to Macy's and my son wanted to get something to eat out in the mall. Follow the signs to the dining Pavilion to find not many options. We chose Panda Express. They had a long line and two people working. I had the coconut shrimp and white rice. I got tons of rice in 6 pieces of dried shrimp. Now I love coconut shrimp with extra sauce to mix in with the rice. But this is the first time that the shrimp was glazed and no sauce. I asked for extra shrimp and said I would pay for it but he said that is what you get. After the long wait to get the food it was a great disappointment after paying $22.49 for these small proportions. They had a hiring sign at the beginning of the line.

Alyssa Seals

I was here for an event and did not stay to do any shopping. However, seems like a well set up establishment, convenient restrooms, very clean. I look forward to visiting for an actual shopping trip.

Conner Severson

Seems to be mostly well kept.

Tthe Cultivator

A very helpful mall cop helped me find the food court.

Malcolm Reese

Great Atmosphere. Mfs Nosey Asl, But Either Then The Usaul Stereotypes its Was Decent

Jessie Lopez

It's a fun place but there aren't that many stores that you can go in.

Tom Dixon

4:20 on a Saturday afternoon and EVERY table in the food court is filthy. Had to take a break and recharge for more shopping when the food court is so disgusting. I'd leave 0 stars if I could. I would have left a note on the Southdale website, but the contact page only has phone numbers and the "Management office" phone number rings to the guard desk on weekends. That's sure helpful.

Reuben L Correa

Big place only went to Macy's to ask a question

Damion Swanson

Had a blast but security is really over whelming there

Takara Taziki Sauce

Honestly this is such a small Mall. But what I do know is that every time I come here it is kind of magical. I have worked here before and I spent long Lonely Nights people watching to my soul's Delight. I guess besides people watching there is the AMC with the reclining red leather chairs. They did just add a bar so now you can enjoy your overpriced tickets and popcorn with an overpriced glass of wine or whatever you like!

J Peffer

Go to Dave and Busters here! Good times. Groupon has a great deal.

Jeremy Armstrong

It was a great experience reclining seats the snacks is priced ridiculously I say go to a store and buy whatever you want to snack by the popcorn there obviously great time they have upgraded a lot you will not be disappointed enjoy because I did

Selena Gover

nice mall. its missing the hustle and bustle and fun feeling you get at others like Ridgale and MOA. needs more foot traffic! otherwise nice and quiet

Niko Belic

Nice clean mall with many store options. Nicely remodeled to keep it current. It has a movie theater and a DMV inside.

Adalpe Leal

Great shopping and good selection of store's

Cody Blosberg

Great mall with a lot of different stores, restaurants and a movie theater. As an added bonus there is EV parking and charging in the bottom level of the parking ramp across from the main mall near the pottery barn. I appreciate the Tesla charging, thank you!

Joseph Reilly

My wife’s favorite Mall growing up in Bloomington Mn. Now we live in Louisville and our daughter is an attorney in The Twin Cities and this is now HER favorite mall!

Angel Marie German

Love it.. Very Nice Clean and Calm

Matthew Hausladen

Nice mall with lots to look at and shop for.

Ashmika Arvikar

It's like any other mall. Good clean stores & plenty of space with nice decor. Parking lots can be really confusing to park & find cars.

Olufunso Oresanya

Great location and shopping area

shweta attri

Love H&M collection

Daniel Randolph

Lots of good shopping, food and movie choices without the hassle of the mall of America. Also, this has a good range of choices from high to low.

Nick Miller

My favorite place to see movies.

Angie Davis

Always walk out with something I don't need. Lol

Alice wikel

This shopping center in transition it lost a couple of it's flagship stores. Now a new up scale spa/gym is attached and about to open. So it will be interesting to see what shops will come in. DMV is in the center.

Bindhiya Laxmi

Its nice to roam around. Do some window shopping, drink and eat. Lots of food options are there. Sometimes you get better deals in stores at Southdale especially from Ann Taylor. It also have good resting place.

Zumbro2Zumbro

Lots of stores, very clean, upscale patrons.

Craig Kitching

Great indoor mall with a lot of options

Paul Hudson

It's changed a lot over the last 20 years

kevin greve

The "original mall" is still my favorite for a more upscale selection!

Mary Ellen

Shopping Mall with restaurants and large movie theater. Trying to stay relevant in the 21st century. Clean and safe.

Robert Ward

this place is good if you dont want to deal with the crowds of moa. i actually choose southdale first

IrisGraceStone 409

I literally love this place so much, my one complaint is that their isnt a forever 21 here and it bothers me. Besides that, it's great. Stop at the pretzel shop, the owner is so kind!

Melissa Warfield

Went to P.F. Chang's to eat at Southdale Center. Walked around the center. The center has changed since the last time I was there. Just wanted to check out Southdale Center. Will be back sometime.

Dan McKenzie

Lots of nostolgia. Great that they added Dave and Buster's

Craig Anderson

Southdale Mall was Anerica's first indoor enclosed mall. Unlike neighboring malls, there are very few vacant storefronts. A large selections of retail stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, services including a Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicles location for a historic of services. Plenty of parking in lots and ramps on the grounds. City bus stop off and pick up. Southdale constantly remodels, modernizes and upgrades their facility. It is a clean, safe, Handi-able accessible facility. Other shops, restaurants, hotels and medical facilities are nearby.

Michelle Harrison

When I first started working there it was a quiet clean mall now after 5 months of being there it’s just as loud and dirty as MOA. There’s always kids walking around after curfew. The janitors are always either on their phones or taking a nap in the nursing room. Someone literally stole my computer off my kiosk in broad daylight and the the security guards magically couldn’t find anything on the camera that was DIRECTLY ABOVE ME. It’s a nice mall to grab something quick you need. But all in all it just needs to be shut down they need to stop trying to hold on to it. Save a brick for a piece of history and demolish it already.

Greg Stang

It was a big mall didn't care for the touch screen directory.

Kyle Lsmbeth

Though the north part (and parking) is currently under construction, this place has gone through some absolutely amazing redevelopments in just the past few years. Located in the heart of Edina, MN, I've been told this was The very first mall build in America. The revamped changes & additions are top notch. Shopping is always a pleasure here!

C Cliffe

Hard to get in and out of. Signage is incorrect, with construction ongoing. Small 1 way sections further complicate visits. Google maps couldn't find Jimmy Johns. I will avoid the place!

Dwayne Hampton

Mall run anyone? Retail shops,food and play for the kids or the whole family nice cozy mall for any season. Go visit for yourself.

Luke Hennigar

Great mall. Nice they have a DMV now, too. Now I can get new shoes and tabs all in one trip.

Nick Chepokas

Improvements in the mall over the last couple years have been a great thing. Nice food court.

Adam Arnett

The shops and the theater are great, but the parking is so confusing and hard to navigate! It seems that they planned it without intending to maximize number of parking spaces.

Amber Zellmer

Love Southdale and especially the cheesecake factory. This is always a meeting place for friends and I to shop and get dinner. The mall has a great selection of stores and it has been kept up nicely with remodels. If you can't find what to you need in the mall there are plenty of other stores near by as well.

Leslie Swensen

Always been a favorite growing up. However, is now sadly very outdated and mall shopping is done online. However, as far as malls go I would much rather go here then a place such as the Mall of America.

Nathan Willenbring

Many store options, nicely remodeled to keep it current.

Bridget W

Brought my fun & had a blast!!! Drinks & food & games... Great Saturday night

Byronlyn Mappy

Ok shopping area, not too crowded and not that many options. Needs something to attract more people and to be more exciting. It’s in a good area since France ave Is a major hub!

Brenden Wilkendorf

Malls blow! Shop online!

Joe Tadros

Lack of businesses compared to when I was a kid, most malls are failing but we can't let the Amazon effect take over

Jordan B. Hawman

Maybe it will be better after the construction. However they should update that they don't have some of the stores there that were originally there anymore. Very misleading

Cary Miller

Used to go here shopping when I attended the U. Something here for everyone. Good service and a large selection of quality goods.

Joel Stegner

Nice to have so many shops so close to home.

greg turner

This legendary establishment keeps up with the times I love it here it's got everything you want.

LuLu Lunicorn

I lived half my life in minnesota and never went to the south dale mall because it had a bad rep.. well I enjoyed my first time there. And it has a Dave & Busters, it's been 14 yrs since I visited Dave and busters in Missouri ( not sure where) I couldn't drink then, I can now and their drinks looked bomb

Syed Ali

Dave & busters here, which has nintendo games. Theres also a vintage game shop, which has nintendo games

Michael May

Been around since the mid-fifties, same as me.

Emily E

Slowly declining. Not many stores are left.

William Kluge

Awesome shopping mall. Would like some more options for a quick healthy breakfast, but overall this mall has a lot of choices. The parking here is awesome and will rarely be completely full. This mall would be fine to just walk around and shop.

Ronald Harms

Large shopping center Minneapolis good place to go

Mr312Worldwide

There isn't much here anymore as far as shopping goes. There are some restaurants and some good stores like the Apple store among others, but nothing like what you'd find at other malls of the same size. One big plus is that there is a Hennepin service center located inside which makes it convenient.

Ray DeLaCruz

A great place to shop and relax with plenty of elbow room when you don't feel like MoA.

David Fedyk

They had what I needed have a great price I'll be shopping there again.

Sera Q

Heart warming uplifting visit.

Obaidur Rehman

You have seen them one, you've seen them all.

Brenda Beltran

Attended the pre-screening for Late Night. What a great movie! Great staff too

Travis Burton

Decent Mall.

Ben B

Honestly, the worst mall I have ever been too. I don't know why there are 5 star reviews.

MICHEAL OFFICERSR

It was great! We came early before the movie we went to see started! There were a lot of people there and we just hung out!

Randall Purcell

Southdale is still a great c for meeting and has centennial lake right there with walking paths and entertainment options galore. It's easily accessible and well maintained. Metropolitan entertainment and interaction hub. Plenty of food and drink options, and very scenic. You may have to dodge a wedding or prom photo or three, but that just tells you how nice it is.

Katie P

I generally like Southdale as a mall. My issue is with the food court. I ran out to Southdale to pick up a few things over my lunch break at work and decided to grab Panda Express for lunch. I sat down at the booths across from Panda Express to eat, and while I was eating, a cockroach crawled out from under the table. I naturally freaked out, and the cockroach ran back under the table. Needless to say, I lost my appetite after that.

NeeNee Rey

Love this theater. For the most part, it is a clean place (except during peak times when popcorn can be found on the floor near concessions). The people have always been friendly. The bar has good drinks (if they're open when you get there). Some times they open later due to lack of bartender. All in all, I would recommend.

Patrick Burns

A very nice center..

Raymond Shepard

Variety of stores, easy in and out with parking.
