Review of House of Hoops

We just went to the Grand opening yesterday and it...

We just went to the Grand opening yesterday and it was full of displays, decorations and a plethora of stores to be open in March. Currently you can only walk on, what I believe what is, the second floor, which connects the ice skating rink to the water park to Nickelodeon. All this grand opening weekend ice skating is free and on grand opening day at least they were not charging for parking!
We found several of the employees interacting with visitors including us who took our pictures and the giant chair and helped us pick out a pumpkin for the free painting and Brett over by the pumpkin seem to have the most enthusiastic attitude a wall and really made the trip an experience rather than just a visit.
while we weren't able to get tickets to the Nickelodeon this time, thanks do to that email going into my spam notice, we were still able to check out the view of the Nickelodeon universe as well as the water park at the ice skating rink.
Currently there is a motif going through the entire American Dream Mall of Halloween / Autumn / fall festivals.
I'm not only curious how well the mobile do with charging for parking, but considering how much parking seem to be available does not seem to fit the need. However we will see in the future when the store is actually open up. When trying to park, you will notice that the parking garage is connected to the mall so for that one parking. If you know the icky in Paramus think of the same parking lot type.
We can't wait to try out the water park and the big snow especially and will be reviewing those immediately upon their opening!!
Check out our many pictures of the mall and we will be going back soon, hoping that there will be even more things to do when we do visit!

.also just wanted to add something that I've seen at least one news media outlet showing a picture of the Mall showing several levels of the mall inside filled to capacity with people and stores opened. This was a false report as the stores are not open. Although today it was probably that crowded October 27th Sunday.
