What I liked most is the variety of slides this place has. You can't get bored because you're always hopping from one place to another. My mom came to visit from another country and was thrilled because she says she'd never seen a pool like the beach. She wants to come back to this place every month.

American Dream mall has something for everyone. Whether you're a baby or a senior citizen there is something to do that you can have fun. They have almost every store to shop in imaginable as well as fun activities that you and your family can enjoy. Beat part is it's all in just one mall. I don't think you could possibly do everything in one day.
