The shop attendants are great, unfortunately the Scarborough gang was targeting Pickering and causing condensing, shrinking, overwhelming, the sane as bullies do, careful when shopping here, as such...

Pretty big mall, first time here. It was nicely decorated from Christmas. We really liked the mall train, my son loved it.

I was excited to see that this mall has a Canada Black Owned Market. It's so important to represent those that live in the area and offer a variety of natural products for all skin types and cultures.

Feel different comparing with when we visited some 20+ years ago, I feel Oshawa mall is more appealing for me both inside and outside. 4 stars 🌟
