Hudson Valley Mall

Would not reccomend. Most stores are closed. It’s such a disappointment to see that most stores end up closing. Maybe the mall needs remodeling to attract more people? It’s not very busy which can be a positive thing. Lines are short and quick.

The store manager at hot topic in Kingston is the best! We had to make some exchanges and he made it simple and pleasant. He was also very sweet and helpful in finding clothes that were perfect for my daughter. Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience

I love all malls in general. this one wasn’t that bad. I’ve been to worse. we live by one of the best in the country so obviously nothing can ever compare :) but this was nice it had a few good stores and it was entertaining as we had something to do before dinner in the area.

I remember laughing a lot at the ads the Poughkeepsie Galleria would publish saying things like «London, Paris, Poughkeepsie» meaning they were trying to bill themselves as «high shopping.» One of the reasons I like the Hudson Valley Mall is because — as far as I know — they DON’T do that. I think the variety of stores in this mall is appropriate for the area. The mall is clean and very well maintained. There’s a decent amount of variety to the food court and restaurants. But I don’t consider the mall itself to be a destination — it’s someplace I would add to my itinerary if I had other reasons to be in the area.

Small mall.
Few stores.
Not impressed.
…I’ll pass by next time I’m in the area and stick to the strip malls.

They definitely need an update for their movie theater and more dining options. However they have other stores and restaurants outside the mall in the area/​street so you could easily find something else. I would rather go to Pogukeepsie Galleria for sure, but if that’s not an option for you, then this mall probably could get you what you need.

The only mall in the area (unless you want to drive 45 minutes to the Galleria), and thus leaving little in terms of choices. This mall only has one floor, and it’s more of a spreading outward layout rather than a spiraling upward layout. It has some pretty big name department stores, and some unique smaller ones as well. Your typical mall rat high schoolers hang out here on Friday and Saturday nights so watch out for that-​especially around the move theater. The food court is pretty good considering how small the mall is, and I like to get a smoothie before doing my shopping. Overall it’s not too bad considering it’s the only mall around!

This mall is SMALL but clean. A good variety of stores. After I got use to Crossgates in Albany, this mall is pathetic and I find myself missing bigger malls when I’m here.

This is the land of shopping hell, the world of Dollar Stores and PayLess shoes. The Macy’s is fake. It was originally a Filenes. We thought it would take a few years for the merchandise to turn over and resemble Macy’s goods, but, no. For a relocated Long Islander it’s truly a horrific experience. ;-)
If you arrive at the food court/​movie theater entrance on Friday evenings, you will see a perimeter of police cars due to the charming clientele. You will have to wear a gas mask to get through the wall of cigarette smoke.
Seriously — go to Crossgates or Colonie in Albany or go south. The stores here are a dime a dozen.

I wandered around here one Saturday AM as I was visiting lovely Kingston, and I have got to say shopping here is great! I hate shopping in NYC where i live, so I thoroughly enjoy normal malls like this one. In the AM it was quiet, empty, clean and stores were fully stocked ready to go. in the evening, it was a bit louder with a ton of pre-​teens/​hipsters/​emo high school students being annoying. But still a nice place to check out if you’re in the mood to shop!

On my way into the Catskills, I had to stop here to get some last minute supplies at Dick’s. From the outside, this place looks like your typical dead mall. In reality, it’s actually pretty healthy and busy. They have large anchor stores; JC Penney, Target, Best Buy, Dick’s, and all of them seem to be doing well. Don’t expect the glitzy stuff of the mega malls; this is a humble indoor mall with everything you actually need.

For all the time I spend at this mall, it would feel very uncomfortable not talking about this mall. It’s changed many times from the 1980s. From adding it’s own official Food Court section to loosing K-​Mart (non-​Super-​branded), this mall has grown and decreased at times; it all depends on what store you’re talking about.
The one bad thing: McDonalds is gone. It left in 2004. It’s manager got shifted to a nearby store to become their manager. The other manager got moved elsewhere. Where exactly, I don’t know. Due to economic reasons at the time, it had to close, and the booth hasn’t opened to any other venue just yet (though there’s been some talk about others entering, but none ever head into that spot).
It’s got it’s own higher-​priced movie theatre (Regal Cinema) as well as an Old Navy store, Taco Bell, and there’s even a Macy’s department store (formerly Filene’s) It’s major department stores consist of Target, Dicks Sporting Goods and Best Buy on one end, and with Sears on another, Macy’s on a fourth, and lastly, a JCPenney, on yet another. The mall is in the shape of a «t»!).
It’s got some moderately priced stores, and it’s got some $ 1 stores which can be super helpful if you are in a bind at times.
Some of the bigger-​name stores in this mall include (in alphebetical order): Aeropostale, American Eagle, Barista’s Espresso, Bath&Body Works, Best Buy, Buffalo Wild Wings, The Children’s Place, Citizen’s Bank, Deb Shop, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Express, Finish Line, FootLocker, Friendly’s, FYE, Gertrude Hawk (Chocolates), GNC, H&M, Hallmark, Hollister, Hot Topic, JCPenney, Jules Vision, Lenscrafters, Macy’s, Mr. Smoothie, NY&Co., Old Navy, PacSun, Payless Shoes, Radio Shack, Regal Cinemas, Sbarros, Sears, Spencer Gifts, Sprint, Subway (Sandwich Shop), Taco Bell, Target, Things Remembered, Verizon Wireless, Victoria’s Secrets, Vitamin World, Yankee Candle Co., Zales, Zumiez.
Please note: Although small, this mall has it’s own food court, with a few bigger-​name venues in it’s food court «wing». To find the food court area from the outside world, be on the lookout for the door nearest Regal Cinemas. Go in that door, and oilla!

What can you say? It’s got all the store: Target, Best Buy, Dick’s, Radio Shack, Sears, Macys, JCPenney. The food court doesn’t have MCDonalds, but it has Taco Bell, Subway, East Wok. It even has a movie cinema! It has Buffalo Wild Wings in there somewhere…
