I hadn’t been to this mall in ages, but I stopped in over the weekend to check out the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual sale. I’ll tell you what — I probably hadn’t been here in about 10 years, but it seems this mall is just as I’d left it all those years ago. In the age of the dying«mall culture», the Hamilton Mall has somehow managed to maintain its appeal. It’s very clean inside and just about all stores are occupied(and all very busy). It has all of the stores you’d hope to see in the mall, all in a simple, easy to navigate layout. I spend my summers in the Mays Landing area, and I will make it a point to continue to shop here.

Great mall, been coming here since I was 6 years old. They have all your standard chain stores plus a decent food court. The wifi is a big plus.

The Hamilton Mall is a very nice mall. It’s large and has many stores for the young teens to shop like Guess, Forever 21 Victoria Secrets. Anchor stores like Macy’s, Sears, JC Penney. The food court on the second level has a variety of restaurants. Johnny Rockets restaurant is on the first level . Need your phone fixed there are private parties in the center of the mall on both levels also At&T, Verizon stores. Different little vendors in the center of the mall both levels. Pretty much what ever you need is out there in that mall.

This is a cute mall just outside Atlantic City. I end up here for something or the other every time I am in EHT visiting my brother who lives there. I like this mall. It has all the usual shops and things that you expect in a typical American Mall. The big stores, the small stores, the chain restaurants, the food court, kids’ play zone, Christmas tree with Santa showings during the holidays, all those typical things… They recently opened Zona Fresca which is a tex-mex place and I have heard really good things about it and would be trying it soon. Ruby Tuesday is always dependable because their salad bar is awesome. I wish every chain restaurant in the country had a concept of a salad bar! The mall is well maintained by the management. The teenage boys and girls hanging out and getting in trouble or not is also pretty much the norm as is the case in any town. EHT is a good town. During my visits here, I can tell that the kids here are not getting into as much trouble at their local Mall as I have seen in some other cities and states. Really gives you an idea. The parking lot is huge in the front as much as it is at the back of the mall. Getting into the mall can get tricky due to the very busy Black Horse Pike, so one has to pay attention. Overall, you will get whatever you are looking for outside of ACY where all the outlets and the crowds really are. But this mall is a no non sense, easy to navigate inside without bumping into a million shoppers and hence a rather easy an experience! I like it.

Came to this mall on my recent trip to Atlantic City. It was too cold to walk the outlet mall so we came to Hamilton Mall which is about a 20 – 25 minute drive from Atlantic City. The mall is huge with mostly all of the mainstream stores. I haven’t been to Spencer’s in years so that was a nice treat. The mall is very clean and spacious but I was surprised not to find anything I particularly liked except a hat I was in search of. So I was happy but I thought that was a lil strange. Where was the fashion? Why waste mall space with wack clothing? Maybe I visited at a dry point, but all the stores? I don’t know about Hamilton. I felt like I would have had a better shopping experience at the outlets in the cold and saved gas. I would give Hamilton another go only because they have a lot of good stores but if I get the same result, I won’t return.

Pretty shitty mall if you asked me. There aren’t much stores and everyone here to me looks like a surfer. Coming from the Philly area and having malls all around me, this is probably the worst one I’ve been to… The stores are bland as hell. I felt broke as hell just being there.

Basic mall with basic stores for basic people. they have recently tried adding some ‘newer’ stores in hopes that it will bring in more revenue. Eh… it’s boring. More for younger people. they have H&M and forever21. need I say more? Nexxxxttt.

Lots of childhood memories here. It was a great mall back in its hay-day but now, some of the shops are just crappy and it’s starting to look like the Shore Mall. You know a mall is going downhill when you see a Disney store converted to a sports shop. I think the whole mall culture has faded and more people would rather just shop at strip malls and outlets. Especially with The Walk in Atlantic City 15 – 20 minutes away on the Expressway, why go to Hamilton Mall? Although Hamilton Mall recently opened a large Forever 21 and H&M, I feel they are still struggling… It’s sad the economy isn’t up to what it used to be. Pros: Still a good handful of good stores. The busiest stores I see are Aeropostale, Hollister, and Victoria Secrets. Cons: More and more brand name stores are closing down and cheap trashy looking stores opening up. Advice: I’m not sure. People just aren’t shopping anymore.

I always thought the Hamilton mall was immune to decline, but after 2012 I’m not sure. A lot of stores have left, but then again, they did gain a fancy new clothing store that encircles the food court and the new mall entrance they put there looks beautiful. The jury is still out, but Hamilton mall may survive. That being said, it’s one of the better malls in the tri state area. Really nice food court with an incredibly good burger place(Whimbys). I’m upset the Taco Bell and chik-fil-a left though. Still, the pizza place(Cosimos) and Whimbys sort of make up for it. Clean, well maintained, good atmosphere. Lots of places to sit down too, which is a huge plus if you have kids. Another nice bonus is that the hamilton mall commons, which is just down the road, has the nicest regal theater in the state, IMHO. Best screens, best service, best location and size.

I stopped at Hamilton Mall on the way back to Virginia. The mall is located right off the AC expressway(easy access to mall).The Macys in this mall is huge(multiple floors).I walked around the entire mall which was average. A couple of big chains mixed in with a lot of average stores. The mall atmosphere was laid back. Hamilton Mall food court has a lot of options including Cinnabon and Auntie Anne’s. There was a lot of parking around the mall for customers. The huge Macys is the big draw at Hamilton Mall in my opinion. If you’re looking for a mall while you’re in Atlantic City, Hamilton Mall is a solid choice. Hamilton Mall is about 20 minutes outside of AC. I give Hamilton Mall a 2.5 rating rounded up to a 3 because of the Macys.

Ahhh, the good ol’ Hamilton Mall. This is a solid mall. While the interior design of it is overall BLAH, they have what people come for. Stores of different types, and lots of options. Location — it is SUPER easy to get to, right on the Black Horse Pike off of the AC expressway. The mall is literally surrounded by parking lots. Heads up to all you XMas shoppers, that small JCPenney lot in the back is usually empty. ;) The mall has three department stores in it, Sears, JCPenney, and Macy’s, and inside you will find the average mall fare — Bath and Body Works, Express, Disney Store, Victoria’s Secret, Puppy Mill Pet Store, sub-par food court… its all there. Another bonus is it’s proximity to Best Buy, Target, Borders, and Starbucks. They are literally across the street. There are also some retaurants scattered around — Ruby Tuesdays, Red Lobster, Olive Garden… Not the rolls royce of restaurants, but you’re in South Jersey so get over it! I’ve spent many a days at the Hamilton Mall, and I still hit up the area when I come home to visit and need to get some shopping done.
