We don't live that far from this mall and frequent it. I worked here over the xmas holidays for 2 years in a row.

I would recommend this mall on many levels - the food court is great with tons of choices, plus there are multiple little food shops throughout the mall so you don't have to converge on the food court if you don't want. There are lots of different shops that see a plethora of different items. They get new shops in regularly and for the most part I haven't come across poor staff in any stores throughout the mall.

They have a staff commuter bus that picks up in Calgary and Airdrie if you are thinking of getting a part time job over the holidays and they've now introduced a shopper commuter bus for easy of shopping. It's a nice option for those that want to go there and are concerned for the roads, don't drive or don't have a vehicle.

Parking *can* be challenging depending on which part of the mall you head to. Trick is NOT to take the first exit that everyone else does and head to the second one which loops around the other side of the mall.

This is chosen place to watch movies as well. They have a nice theatre, optional restaurants nearby if you want a sit down meal.

Overall this is one of my favorite malls close to Calgary. Check it out if you have the opportunity.
