What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Voorhees Mall is a mixed bag, with many visitors appreciating its quiet, nostalgic atmosphere and the continued presence of Boscov's. However, the significant number of closed stores leads others to describe it as a 'dead mall.'
"Several nice restaurant options. Boscov’s is still here, thank God. The only drawback is the frequency with which Child Help shows up there. It seems to be at least monthly. We already donate to Salvation Army, local food pantries, and elsewhere without being hit up quite frequently by Child Help. You can’t escape them—they are at every Boscov’s entrance 🙁"
