Visited Valley Fair mall after almost 2.5years. Has updated well, I must say. They charge for parking now, if your parked time exceeds 2 hrs. They have quite a range of stores from designer to fast fashion. I missed some of the old restaurants at the food court though. But I am happy to see Lululemon.

Very large mall compare to great mall and other sounding area . Lots and lots options for all kind of shops . There are multiple shop for all kind of categories like diamond, kids clothes, men clothing, women's clothing, kids accessories, makeup , you name it and you have the shop there . Very huge food court and lots of seating area. Inside decorations are also good and you will see security all over. Restrooms are clean . Best part - same category shop is put together with all possible vendors. Like one section with all makeup related shop and one with all diamonds related. Lots of parking inside and out side . Parking area has red/green light to identify as full/empty spots. You need lots of time to cover the whole mall.. surrounding area also have lots of other shops and good downtown walk for evening . Overall fun place to visit /shoping.

With the new parking arrangement, one has to get the ticket, go to the pay station before exiting the lot. It can become very inconvenient. Today is the first time i use it, and it’s not a busy time at all. First, when the pay machine ejects the ticket after payment, there’s so much inertia and lack of friction that the ticket just flies off. I had to use my ping pong stamina to quickly grab it from the ground before it gets blown even farther. No wonder there were tickets all around the machine. They were probably tickets too difficult for some customers to grab in the wind after payment. Second, there were often lines at the exit gate. The first gate I tried, the car at the very front had trouble and waited awhile. So, I drove to the other gate and waited in line. Unfortunately when it’s almost my turn another car in front had trouble with the gate. I can’t imagine how bad it can become during busy times.
