Editorial Review for Fox Valley Shopping Center – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
It's more than likely that only true mall rats find Fox Valley Shopping Center in Aurora appealing. Recently renovated, the mall is convenient for residents of the Naperville-Aurora area. Anchor stores include a newly-renovated Marshall Field's, a JC Penney, Carson Pirie Scott and Sears. If designer fashions are your passion, you'd be better off taking the 30-minute drive east to Oakbrook Center. An Aladdin's Castle arcade draws the kids in along with a Noodle Kidoodle, a trendy toy store.
The Skinny
There are all the mall standards: Express, Gap, Limited, Eddie Bauer, Casual Corner and American Eagle Outfitters. Hot Topics offers trendy duds for high school kids. Seasons of Door County has artificial flower arrangements and other crafts. The outside of the mall has a Cost Plus World Market, with a collection of candle holders, picture frames, furniture and exotic foods.

It's super crowded, lots of rude packs of kids wanting to walk right beside each other -don't dare break their line! If you want to bring your kids here during the really cold months to "get out", forget about it. The two play areas they have are CONGESTED with wild, unruly children who could care less about the smaller infants. EVERYTIME I went there, there were least 2 groups of kids running rampant, stepping on smaller kids, jumping on top of the play items - and the parents just sit there and could care less about them bumping into other, smaller kids. I brought my daughters there around Christmas of last year - literally, there were 3 kids all trying to steal food and toys from the back of my stroller and their parents were smiling, saying, NO NO that's not nice...never mind that they kept trying and weren't listening. The parents didn't say excuse me or anything. No wonder the kids are like that. They are just kids but the parents don't teach them about respect. Yesterday, I was "desperate" again and went to look for shoes for my daughters. I don't even bother letting my kids in the play areas anymore. Once again, I peaked over and there was a little boy who was barely walking...maybe about 10 or 11 months old. The parents were trying to get him to play and go down the slide and 4 ROUDY kids came running on top of the infant, jumping on the slide and one of them stepped on the the little boys hands. They didn't so much as blink and where were the parents? God only knows! The parents of the little boy yelled at them and looked around to see if they would run back to their parents and they didn't. They just kept on playing oblvious to anyone else. I just looked at the mom and shook my head right along with her. Sad really. They have added a few new stores like Guess... that's nice but really the problem isn't so much the type of stores they have as the type of "crowds they attract". This mall reeks mallrats in a bad way... sorry.
Pros: Convenience...
Cons: Everything else...
