Great Mall

I really love this mall! You can find a huge variety of specialty foods from all around the world — perfect if you’re a foodie or just like trying new things. The stores also have great deals, which is a bonus when you’re in the mood to shop. One of the best things is that it stays open late, so it’s packed with people who enjoy shopping and dining in the evening. The vibe is lively but not overwhelming, making it a fun place to hang out, grab a bite, and explore a little. Whether you’re hunting for unique snacks, trying new dishes, or just strolling around for fun, it’s an easy spot to spend a few hours. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!

Great Mall in Milpitas My nieces and nephews love this mall! There's a Century Movie Theatre, Mini Cat Town, Dave N Busters and Lego store! There's so many stores here that it's hard to choose. We always end up finding stuff here. The Forever 21 closed and Q took over that space. The weekends gets super crowded!

I really like this mall because it's not far from the hotel I booked. I was able to do my shopping here. Everything are in place. Very organize place. The staffs are dedicated to their work. They did assist those customers that needed assistance. Thank you so much for the brilliant customer service!

Every time I go to Chalets and place an order, I feel genuinely happy. The reason is simple — the staff are always so kind and welcoming. Of course, the sandwiches taste wonderful too. 😄

All famous, popular brand stores, shopping for all age groups, food court with favourite cuisins, icecreams, coffee shops, wonderful lego shop, play area, all compliments.

It is a reality to witness how much people enjoy shopping!buying essential items on an annual Black Friday sale .Pets are brought to get the feel of buying! An experience of a rare kind! no store is empty. All go home happy 😊

Great place to walk around. Lots of nice stores. Plenty of free parking.

This mall is HUGE! Plan to spend a whole day here, and definitely wear your most comfortable walking shoes -you'll need them to explore the entire loop. The selection is truly incredible; it's the largest indoor outlet mall in Northern California, offering an unbeatable variety of stores and brands. When you need a break, the food court has a great variety of options to refuel. If you're looking for bargains and a massive amount of shopping under one roof, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

This is a great run of the mill, every day stuff mall. A few semi high end stores like Calvin Klein and Polo, and a lot more of the lesser expensive ones. But there's lots of parking and it's easy to walk around the entire circle. Or you can cut through the middle walkway. Shoes, clothes, goods, sports equipment, you name it. Lots of affordable restaurants. Some sit down, some fast food. A decent food court. A Dave and Busters. Kiosks. And much more. And there's a great Century movie theater connected as well as Home Depot at the edge of the parking lot. On weekends I've been to a farmers market but I'm not sure it's still active.

LOCATION : amazing it looks so nice in the whole area and has a big city vibe with residential feelings ! SELECTION : is out of this world there is always something exciting either going on or coming soon! VALUE : is amazing because the stores are pretty cheap or at-least reasonably priced. SERVICE : amazing , they have so many places to eat as well and I was inspired to have my first ever sushi rolls ! I will be coming back again 100% !

Massive circular mall in Milpitas. We were staying in the South Bay for a 49ers game and needed cooling towels. We looked up where to buy some & it alerted us to the nearest Dick's Sporting Goods. This was a warehouse of a location. So many options with 49ers merch which was great. Not so much with cooling towels but we found some and made do. The mall itself is a circular layout. No cutting across here.... You definitely get your steps in after spending a few hours at Great Mall. The Hat Club was a cool store for fitted and snapback hats. There were various stores like it and ones that sold jersey and tees that were great. The North Face store was real good and we found deals. Plenty of parking. Get there early cause you will need a few hours just to navigate the entirety of the place. No shaded parking that we saw. Maybe it was just in the area where we pulled in.

Nice place to walk around!!! The Cinemark here is pretty awesome so I've been here plenty of times. There's also a lot of stores to shop at and food/drink options. Recently, they also added a lot of toy/plushie machines around the mall so thats cool! Overall, just a really nice place to walk around and pass the time.

Huge mall with lots of shops including Dave and Busters for those seeking arcade fun and for late night arcade and drinks. The mall has everything from clothes shops to food shops to LEGO shop to a bunch of other shops and is worth checking out. Parking can be a handful but there is a ton of parking areas!

No employee parking whatsoever near starbucks area. Always have to park with customers that come in and out constantly. My car got hit and dinged 3 times within 9 months of owning my brand new car. This mall is a fucking joke. No care for its

This place is huge and crowded. I couldn't believe how many people were there on a Saturday. Seemed like the 90s all over again, which is kinda fun to see since I was a teen at that time. And it seems like a lot of fashion is making a come back, too! We were there for Mini Cat Town mostly, and that was great! The cats were playful and cute, and it wasn't too busy. Reminded me of the mall pet stores back in the day, but a lot more humane (I think). Prices for clothes seemed pretty high, but maybe that's just how things are nowadays? $40 for a plain t-shirt though? Yikes. And these are "outlet" stores.

I think malls are still a place to go even if there is an option to shop online. It's good to go see the merchandise in person and probably buy something you may want in person. The Mall does have a movie theater and a food court and lots of good shops. One of many great malls across America.

This review is for the overall condition of the mall. I Have not been here in a while and the place has gone down hill. I visited the women's rest room in the food court. The sinks had some black mold on the crevices. The soap and water sensors did not work. This mall has the potential to be great! But based on this experience alone, I'd rate it 2 stars. Great selection of stores and food.

One of the better Malls still left standing! Great assortment of stores to choose from, lots of fun kiosks, cool food court and lots of restaurant options, this place is hopping and always full of people. Place looks very clean and well organized, and I like that it feels welcoming and not snooty. It's a family Mall, and I love that! I also like the Lego giraffe outside one of the enterences. Today I needed a new pair of sport shoes, and Asics being the best and most comfortable, I had to come to the Asics store where I found a pair I liked on sale! Yay! I noticed they had a Great Khan's Mongolian BBQ in the food court! I haven't had that in years and years! I must come back just to try this out. Today I had to rush off to Costco, but next time.

The Great Mall is no longer a tourist destination, nor is it adequate for anything except people watching.

Burned my lip real bad at the Dulce store when I grabbed ice cream and coffee, coffee was scolding hot and I never got a warning it was beyond hot, they actually took care off, the only issue I had was with the 2nd security guard that took my information but did not send me any documentation that I had been injured. I asked him for some burn cream and he was adamant that there was none in his first aid kit that he wouldn't even look in, the first security guard with the K9 was kind and empathetic, he actually found the burn cream. I'm still waiting on my report. This happened on Saturday 16th 2024 in the evening

We had a fun time at the Great Mall, the kids loved D&B and the human claw machine. All and all, great place to shop for bargains or just hang out.

Great Mall is a massive mall with fascinating stores, from outlet types to unique stores like comic books; various stores range from Marshalls, Burlington, and even Nike outlets. The list of stores can go on, but also the different food options, which is excellent. Another aspect is movie theater and Dave and Busters all in one place. Don't expect much service, just a lot of walking, but they have a website that helps you find specific stores. Overall, you can spend a whole day walking around and find some exciting things.

I have not done a review as this is literally is close to where I live. Will say that I am glad to see Kohl's as well as the Ghirardelli's store. At the same time, I am still sad that Wonderpark and Media Play closed. Great food court that has not totally changed. TCBY has been the only holdout. That and the Chinese one. Of all of the recent ones, I like both Charleys Philly Steaks and the Teppanyaki place. It's been great to go to the part of the mall without the race track. Had to go one way. Or do plenty of exercises. Now just have to walk through a store to the other side. It does get busy on the weekends so I don't recommend it. Unless you arrive early. It's too bad that many of them have closed over the years like Corning.

Love the Atmosphere. Abundance of shops.Uniclo, Lego, Nike and almost everything you'll really need. 4 Stars since weekends get too crowded.

Lots of stores and you get your steps in! You can find just about anything here. They have a movie theater, Dave & Buster's, Olive Garden among other restaurants. Lots of ice cream, places like Stone Cold & TCBY. Better to come during the week as weekends get busy & hard to park.

I work at the mall in Michael Kors , turn six years this month. I hadn't had lunch all day or anything to eat so I decided to go to the food court. I ordered myself some Philly cheesesteaks fries. I sat down right in front of Burger King where there's like a long table , to my right where there's a trashcan and there's cockroaches everywhere crawling. I was absolutely disgusted I couldn't finish my food ..

Always super busy, I always feel like I'm going to catch something when I go there. Alot of stores and a decent food court. Just way to busy for me.

When I arrived at this mall, the parking is almost full. Probably because of Christmas sales going on this weekend, but I never imagined that there are going to be a lot of cars going at the line to enter or exit this place. This mall is quite different because it is not a two-story building and basically we have to go around it by going through a circle. There are good restaurants and shops to go to especially the LEGO shop. Thankfully, it has Jollibee since it's an international fast food restaurant. This mall is decent but not as great compared to Westfield Mall in terms of atmosphere, but this is still a good place to go if you live close to it.

This place is so big and has so many different stores. It's actually a beautiful shopping place. It doesn't get 4/5 stars because of how atrocious the bathrooms were. For a place as modern and beautiful the bathroom situation is completely inadequate. 2 sinks in a women's bathroom with crappy bathroom stalls that barely close and have no toilet seat covers. Not to mention both the men's and women's bathrooms had no soap. Who maintains this place? Aside from that I will say there's a lot to shop from. You could spend a whole day here and find lots to choose from. The Lego land place is also pretty cool. Please clean the bathrooms...

I usually prefer great mall but I prefer a cleaner safer mold free bathroom more....ESPECIALLY inside the food court. You'd think cleaning and disinfecting should be at the highest standard especially living in the world that we live in today. Come on Great Mall...DO BETTER! Gross gross gross! Please care more for your shoppers/workers/visitors This should be embarrassing

2023/003 In Northern California the Great Mall is the largest indoor outlet shopping mall of the Bay Area in Milpitas, California. With more than 200 retail stores serving the nearby communities of Milpitas, San Jose, Santa Clara and Fremont. It is conveniently located off the intersection of 880 freeway and the Great Mall Expressway and also the intersection of 680 Frwy and Montague Expressway. Travelers and Shoppers can dine at great famous restaurants like Dave & Buster's, Olive Garden Outback Steakhouse, or even spent time catching a movie at the Century Theatres 20. Busy today on this first day of 2023

The Great Mall is great again!! I went there in September and there were very few people on a week day. Victoria's Secret Outlet has rock bottom sale prices on almost everything, $10 for almost every clothes item, including pajamas and cotton sweats and sweatshirts, $3 for perfume and body wash. Check it out again, especially the outlets, including Nike!!

They have cockroaches all over the mall... Pretty good variety of stores, parking isn't too bad, and feels like a safe place to walk around.

Immediately felt like I've seen this place before and I believe whichever company is in charge of the Great Mall is also those responsible for Ontario Mills down in SoCal because it's very similar to one another. Like Ontario Mills, the Great Mall is a mix of the standard mall fare (Bath & Body Works, Claire's) with some bigger outlet shops for brands like Puma or Aldo, a fancier shop here or there (Steve Madden - not the football guy outlet shop), food court, some sit down restaurants and some entertainment. There are some staples that I always stop by like Uniqlo, Daiso, and Miniso, so that was nice. Having a FYE there is pretty neat too since those are a dying relic with most people moving towards streaming services (so this serves as my anime/cute character merchandise stop). The Mini Cat Town really sets this mall apart from the others though and I am crossing my fingers that it stays a staple at the Great Mall since I've seen some similar attempts with other animals at other malls and it generally doesn't last too long. Mini Cat Town will be my go to stop for any future visits to the mall. Aside from that and convenience of some of the staple shops close to one another, I didn't find anything particularly amazing or mind blowing about this mall that sets it apart from others. Could easily kill an hour or two at the very least. Overall an all-around decent mall.

Sooo many stores!! And all of the top name brand stores!! We were all in heaven. Me and my hubby and the kids too. Huge food court with tons of options t Chooser from. Lots of sweet treats and different ethnic flavors and types of food offered. The mall is huge!! Only 1 single story but oh my gosh . I kept walking and it never ended. Highly Recommend for the whole family. Movie theatre, restaurants and this mama even got herself a pedicure while dad took the kids toy shopping. Win win situation.

Decent local mall for shopping to get essentials, no high end luxurious stores here. Lots of shops to choose from apparel to toys, sports, and food! There is food court with ok options. Wish there can be more higher quality food options! More fast food chain than healthy ones. Recently more nice food vendors like ZERO& just opened and a ume tea will be opening! Pretty excited about that! The mall is EXTREMELY crowded on the weekends so come during the week! The air quality gets stuffy and it's really hard to breath/get fresh air if you come during then. There are occasionally dogs in the mall... sometimes they go and do their thing on the side walls!!! So this mall is definitely NOT CLEAN. There are signs that say only service animals allowed, however it's not enforced :/

It's a decent mall. If you are someone who likes massages, they do have the chairs and kiosk masseuse. Make sure you have a timer with the kiosk masseuse, especially the kiosk by the food court. My mother sat and got a massage, he told her 20 minutes for 30$ and my mom told me to come back in 20. They didn't know that when the guy started working on my mom I started up my stopwatch and I was back at 19minutes. The guy tried to charge her for a 30min massage saying he asked if she wanted 30 during the massage. I'm glad I timed because I was telling the guy if he is charging for 30 he owes my mother 10min. He then tried to push for 25min charge instead like he was doing us a service. He couldnt argue after he saw i really did time him. These people are vultures and will scam you at a higher charge if you aren't careful. Pick your time and turn on your stopwatch or timer.

Love this mall especially on a weekday morning, it can get super crowded on weekends which is expected but still spacious enough to shop until you drop! Outlet mall with numerous shopping options and varieties of restaurants! They also have a movie theater and Dave & Busters to play games at.

This mall is a decent place to hang out with friends and family or even by yourselves. There are variety of fashion stores here to shop. My favorite store is Kate Spade, Express outlet, Pink and Abercrombie more. This is an outlet shopping mall but it does not mean the price is always cheap. I find it have higher price than purchasing online. But it is nice to hang out in stores from time to time, which I can have a chance to try it on in person. Also, I like it when it has Marshall located in this location, making it even more convenient and fun to wander around and explore more things they offer. They also have a food court within the mall. Of course, the service there is not good but at least have some options of food to have when you feel hungry. Parking is hard to find over the weekends because this place is popular.

Kind of depressing mall. All of the soap dispensers in the restroom next to the food court did not work. I witnessed several food court employees go the bathroom, unable to use the soap dispenser, just splash a bit of water on their hands and leave. Gross!

I frequent the kpop store at this mall and whew!! Let me tell you how sorry I feel for those female staff.. Whenever I came there, there was always that creepy old security guard (His badge said Pina) staying there for 30 minutes to an hour! When I'd try to purchase anything, he'd be in the way of the register chatting up the staff and distracting them, extremely unprofessional! On top of that, I hear his conversations about Asian girls.. then you look at the staff.. ALL seemingly underage Asian girls! Even when I'd ask for help with the staff and ask questions, sometimes he would answer rudely speaking for them. Great Mall do better hiring your security!! SUPER unprofessional and EXTREMELY inappropriate.

Bathrooms are DISGUSTING, unsanitary, and unsafe! The sharps container was overflowing with dirty needles! I'm POSITIVE this is a health violation and against OSHA guidelines!

I grew up coming here and even though I no longer live in the area, whenever I do come back, this is a place I make time to stop into. The mall has a great selection of stores. If you've seen this place years ago, you'd know the current renovations is a big step up into modernizing it.

To be honest it's been quite some time since I've actually walked around this whole mall. It's usually cherry picking when we go here for either just stopping by Marshalls or returning something at the Gap Factory. This last trip was to pick up some glasses from Vision Optometry and also perusing Marshalls. P A R K I N G We typically park closest to where we're going to shop to minimize walking time so I think the past 3 times we've been here I parked on the Marshalls side which tends to be quite full. Then when it comes to Christmas time then it's just almost impossible finding a spot in this area. If you don't particularly care about where you park, I would highly suggest the Dave and Buster side which is far from anything which typically has more spots open but again far from any entrances. I N S I D E As I've said, I've only really explored part of this mall recently and haven't see the whole way around in quite some time, so I'm sure stores have changed over time since it's hay day. I did notice their Restroom signs have been changed and improved to be honest. There's also a "walkway" between halves through Uniqlo if you need to take a shortcut. But if you're ever in need of an indoor walking area, this is a pretty nice place to do it, just tends to be busy with folks just meandering which I get. Sometimes you just want to get outside of the house without being in the elements and also get a chance to find that great deal. They do have this Lego Discovery Center thing inside as well as a food court so you can literally stay here for hours if you want something for your kids to do. O V E R A L L Not a bad shopping area especially that it's indoors, plus it's nice that they do have the halfway-ish point to double back if needed. I remember when they first built the mall there was no halfway point, so you just had to walk all the way around which is a great marketing strategy but not great for those who are not ambulatory. Be careful with the parking. They're relatively tight spaces and also make sure nothing of value is visible in the car. Besides that, I know some folks love malls and this is an option if you're in the area.

this parking sucks!!!!! i spent 3 hours even trying to leave. it is beyond insane we are so upset. no one should sit in traffic at a mall for 3 almost 4 hours absolutely done plus no one knows how to drive.

We like to come to this mall alot. It is simple to walk around because a big circle and no escalators. Alot of variety of stores to shop at and a nice food court.

Food court cleaning female is extremely rude and unprofessional. Was sitting with my family & handicapped child getting ready to leave and the short, Hispanic, middle-aged female worker literally yelled "we're closed, you guys need to clean up and leave!" Just extremely unnecessary & uncalled for. I was giving my handicap child water before leaving as he cannot drink on his own. Extremely insensitive and uncompassionate coming from this employee of the Great Mall. No class or etiquette whatsoever. Just terrible manners, which explains why at her age she's working this type of job. Just sad there are old people like herself out there behaving this way. Speaks volumes about how she was raised. Management needs to address this person ASAP.

Mall management sucks. Their hallways are disgusting. Security is also laughably bad.

For many years now the restrooms do not have seat covers. Like why? Why is this okay? Especially when people don't know how to use a toilet. There's pee, poop shit everywhere. You want us to sit directly on the toilet right after someone use it? Not okay. We have to clean it before using it. Not sanitary for a public restroom without seat covers. Problem needs to be resolved for sanitary purposes. Kids shouldn't have to use the toilets without covers. It's gross and has been like this for years. Do something please.

3.5/5 Yelp removed my previous review because they felt my experience did not depict an experience at the mall. I did end up finding the new shop and moved the review to the right business Green Biotics. What I can tell you with confidence is that one store can throw a whole shopping experience off. I could have easily walked out of the mall after that horrible experience at the start of my shopping. But I've been here plenty of times to know this new store experience was an anomaly. While the interaction at Green Biotics was sour the overall shopping area is great. There's a variety of shops. Super busy on weekends and holidays. Parking lot can get really busy and full on weekends and holidays. Bathrooms are always dirty and sticky or low on soap and water pressure but there's people cleaning them. Long lines at the bathrooms when busy. Plenty of food options at the food court. Tables being wiped down. Hard to find a table when it's busy.

The Great Mall in Milpitas is a decent spot for hanging out with friends and family or even solo. With a variety of fashion stores to browse through, including favorites like Kate Spade, Express outlet, Pink, and Abercrombie, there's something for everyone's taste. While it's an outlet shopping mall, prices aren't always cheaper than online, but it's worth it for the chance to try items on in person. Plus, having Marshall's adds to the convenience and fun of exploring. The food court offers options for refueling, though service can be lacking. Just be prepared for limited parking, especially on weekends when this popular spot fills up fast.

This mall never disappoints. It has lots of options for every mood. In a mood to shop there are tons of places to shop In a mood to eat, there are places throughout the mall to eat In a mood to bargain hunt, there are places like Marshall's and Burlington In a mood to watch a movie, there is Cinemark theaters In a mood to play games, there is Dave and busters You get the idea. This mall has something for everyone!

I so wanted to enjoy walking around and retail shopping again, at a mall. We used to shop inside malls as teenagers in Massachusetts, then as adults in Florida and Hawaii: because of the weather. Inside malls are air conditioned and usually very comfortable. Many seniors hang out in malls, lol! Many teenagers do, too! This mall which opened at 11:00, rather late in my opinion, did have stores with exterior doors that opened earlier, like Marshals. They are open late, 9:00 pm. Movie theater and plenty of restaurants are a good thing. Reasonable prices at many of the stores. Just not very impressed, but I am spoiled coming from the Monterey Peninsula,lol! Great to experience, once. Would not intentionally return.During the week was good, not too busy.

Checking on the status of the parking area. The debris field has certainly expanded and the rebar is sticking out like crazy. Can we ask for repairs in the parking area for Easter? Easter Bunny told me it was possible!

SCAMMERS!!! Beware of beggars/homeless people & young children trying to sell you overpriced candy at the food court. Can't eat in peace had 2 kids and 1 homeless come and try to get money out of us while we were trying to eat. Where are the security guards? I have never had this issue at any mall before just this one and it's only getting worse. Had a 7-8 year old come sit in my dad's chair while my dad went to go grab food. The little boy was trying to sell us a candy bar for 10 dollars. We said no thank you and please leave. He refused to leave and started making comments about my make up, which I ignored. Once my dad arrived with all the food he still refused to leave and he repeatedly kept saying "Don't rush me" to which I told him and raised my voice not to speak to my father like that. He needs to learn some manners. Don't give these kids money the parents are there and watching them as they go around and ask people for money. It's all lies and scamming!

I mean someone get paid to clean their restroom and fixed the broken toilet!!! It's not even busy day. I saw the lady just clean it by wiping the water on the side,,, like that's it!!! Did the company not providing cleaning supply!!! And how long this restroom broken?

Is Great Mall Milpitas so hard up that they cannot provide soaps for all the restrooms? Start bringing your own soaps people!! The cleaner said most are broken so why don't they get it fixed!
