Valley View Mall

I use to live closer to La Crosse, so this was the mall I shopped at routinely. Had not been there in some time, so I was looking forward to shopping at some of my favorite stores.
The trip was quite disappointing. Many store fronts were empty. The stores that remained were geared to teens and 20-​somethings — Hollister, Pac Sun, Aeropostale and the like. Restaurant choices were just as disappointing — the food court is composed of 2 chinese, a hot dog and a pizza place — all fast food. I asked an employee at a nearby kiosk if there was a restaurant attached to the mall that I had missed and was told «drive out of the mall, there are resta urants all around’. Leaving the mall was not an option for me that day. I was dropped off there while my car was in the shop — and I was not in the mood to walk around outside in the rain to find healthy, good food.
The mall is anchored by major department stores — Macys, Herbergers, Sears, JC Penney — which were loaded with racks of discounted clothing, but nothing that would stand out in a crowd, or last more than a few washings.
If you are looking for style, quality, and places to eat that will inspire health and an appreciation of good food, you’re better off going to Eau Claire, Minneapolis or Madison — skip Valley View Mall.

The mall changes a lot, it has some basic stores nothing really spectacular or anything no stores you wouldn’t find anywhere else accept maybe the nortic creamery which has good cheese and stuff. Good little one story mall

It’s ok — 1 floor, actually has most of the store fronts occupied, nothing spectacular or new, but it’s indoors

I remember walking through here as a kid, knowing exactly where to go, hitting all my favorite shops. It’s a one-​floor mall, which I like.
It’s reliable, like an old friend.

A great mall for the La Crosse area. Not particularly huge, but it has just about everything you’d need. Very clean and generally not too busy or crowded compared to other malls I’ve been to.
