never been, google is weird
Clean and friendly but unfortunately not a great selection especially now since Sears closed.
The mall itself was not open yesterday when I went yesterday. My child and I went to the optometrist, after getting drops in their eyes we had to wait 45 minutes, so we walked to the dollar store. On our way back to the optometrist we were stopped by security ( and he was very polite about it) and told were are not supposed to be walking back and forth through the mall. I apologized and hurried on our way.
Convoluted parking and traffic around there is nuts. Poorly designed mall entrances. The mall is nice once you get there.
This mall is good for North Bay. One stop shopping.
Great shopping center, best one we have to offer here inn beautiful north bay Ontario Canada
Pretty decent mall! Has everything you'd need in a mall. Wal-mart,best buy,ecko, footlocker,lids,ebgames..lots of good stuff. ..bought a few games
Location it's okay. Plenty of parking spots. Food court it's nice, the mall look clean. This kind the single big place in the whole north bay.
Best shopping centre in Nort Bay. Include a Walmart Supercenter.
The mall is going through a regrowth stage. With several stores closing due to covid they are working on renovations and adding more stores. Key stores include: Best buy Walmart Dollarama EB Games Urban Planet Mind Games American Eagle West 49 Bath and Body Works Just to name a few.
Not bad! A lot of good stores but get way to busy sometimes
I always stop in on my way to mattawa,everything I need is here
The place is good and has everything you would need. I may have a beast opinion though as I lived in northbay for a long time and the company I work for manages the mall.
Best shopping place in North Bay.
Ticket happy rent a cop being miserable Easter weekend.
It has a wide variety of stores to shop around including Walmart. Most essentials could be obtained within the mall. There are not that many brand name stores. Anyone should be able to finish shopping there in 3 hours.
Store selection is great. I love coming here for lunch. Lots of parking available all over the mall.
Busy. Great place to find items.
Good stores
Good selection. Biggest mall in the area
Shopping has been good and the people working there are friendly.
Clean. Lots of good stores. Still sad that sears closed. Half the reason i went here.
A great place to come and get your shopping done
Lots of stores to select from. Great location
It's basically the only mall in North Bay. What else do you want?
I love coming here just to hang out. Great place to just meet up with friends. I love just going around and seeing who is working meeting people
Not a much stuff. Mostly shops are empty . Not much crowd . But overall it's ok. Not bad.
Decent food court and a good variety of shops
Lots of stores to choose from, lots of parking and usually busy. It's nice and clean with a big food court. My favorite store is Green Earth, check it out ????
Great shopping and hood variety of stores
My old hometown Mall... great to visit again.
Nice mall. Go to the shop lids. As they would print your name on any cap of theirs or any cap that u take their
One of the only places to get stuff in north bay without having to drive around all over the place. Lots of clothing options and kept pretty clean. Just watch out for some of the creeps and the worst mall cop I have ever encountered.
Is a Mall, what do you want me to say? Lmao
Great place to shop and great place to work
Ive always love north gate square, more than any other mall. Well in Ontario. It's so clean with lots of thriving stores. The best malls in Ottawa and Toronto come close to comparing.
Big mall but limited variety of retailers.
Felt like home love it! Huge mall
Of the two shopping malls in North Bay, this mall is the go-to for the typical mall amenities.
Food Court have some delicious ???? and great deals on for this weekend
Great place. But dear left a empty hole there
Whenever I'm up in the city, I always love shopping here. You can find everything you ever needed in one convenient place. They have plenty of options for meals in their food court and the tables are always clean. A personal favourite is Dairy Queen, especially on a hot summer's day.
A well appointed mall in North Bay that has many great stores in a clean and trendy retail environment.
Decent mall, not very big. Many options in the food court
Similar the the OC mall in oshawa, nice layout
Enjoyable browsing/shopping experience and walking exercise!
They have a good variety of strores
half decent mall, could be better but I guess the demand is not there
I try going to the mall when there's not a lot of people there.
Wish there were better stores in the mall
Not that crazy about Northgate, was up there visiting 4 the holidays. No good boxing day sales.
Was very clean . Nice young man asked us to check in with scan bar .
A wide variety of stores. Lots of parking, as well as covered parking.
Good variety of stores . Not convenient to enter due to construction
Has a little bit of everything. Good little shopping area.
Had to drop off a necklace for repair. The staff at People's were , as always, professional and friendly. I highly recommend this location.
enjoy the different stores to shop at.
I love shopping there
For some reason people are not wearing masks or social distancing. We are not doing enough testing in North Bay so we really don't know who has covid 19 wearing masks is a courtesy and a kindness to others
Better than Sudbury mall imo
This mall is very small and it addresses some of my needs,but the prices are reasonable according to the store. Nefertiti and I are always treated with respect and dignity and the pict depicts the share relationship
Went to the Tim's for breakfast and ordered a sausage farmers wrap and the lady had to ask what goes on it which isn't a big deal but she then proceeded to make me a farmers wrap with ROAST BEEF. In conclusion it was gross and way over sauced.
The hours for this mall are generally convenient and fit several schedule types, overall it is a good shopping center and has a good selection of stores, many of which are well known and most of the stores in this center host good quality products.
Love this mall lots of parking and great deals
Nice variety in shops.
Has a good amount of stores. It's an okay mall
Online shopping will end this boring mall.
Busiest mall I have entered in 10 years. Vibrant, busy, well staffed.
Lots of stores and clean environment. Family friendly.
I love the variety of stores here. Especially when gift shopping, you could find something for everyone on your list.
Not a bad place to spend cold winter hours in.
Lots of stores and selection. Very clean
Excellent various stores n very hospitable service!
Awesome mall for a small city. Great selection of stores. Great food court. Powered animal cars to rent for kids was super fun. Great way to spend a rainy summer day!
Good mall to kill time when in North Bay, needs updating, very clean , lots of seating area okay food court.
Good stores and service, but there are often people in the halls of the mall trying to sell you things... And parking is always hard to find :(
A bit disappointed, the payless shoe source disappeared.
Busy...people complacent..no masks..not good..mask up folks
Great shopping experience.. only missing more tall clothing options ;)
Decent mall. Typical of Canadian mid-size town. Tim Horton's was busy.
Northgate is super family friendly it's a one stop shop for all your needs. In winter time they well have a small train/kaboos with a conducter /ADULT operating for your children's SAFETY an drive all around Northgate at a very moderate slow speed . My children Adored it. The food court is never crouded can always find a place to sit with with a friendly atmosphere. If you cant keep up with your children lol, no worries there's a Tim Hortons near the food court. The have a 24 hr Surveillance camera system with aboveground parking WITH multiplel floors an every level has a evevator... AWESOME AWESOME PLACE TO VISIT AND SHOP I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECK OUT.
Lots of stores and not to huge of a mall .but big enough.
Most effective shopping destination for North Bay residents and nearby people.
I love it due to that I'm from out of town
A decently sized mall with a lot of stores for the city population. It's also in a good, central location.
Has an awesome Walmart in that Centre!
Nice mall. Really clean, good selection in the food court and a decent amount of stores inside. Love that it's connected to Walmart
Very nice but busy place around Christmas.
Went to the Mall for lunch. Had a diverse selection of restaurants. Did not take me long to find a parking spot.
Good family restrooms near the food court. Has a decent Gap
I very much dislike shopping... But if you have to do it, this is the place to go in North Bay. There's a great assortment of stores and when you want to sit down there's a really nice food court.!
Lots of awesome stores
Its small and i was banned for 2 months for bouncing a ball calmly.
Has a variety of stores such as clothing retailers and entertainment outlets plus a great food court with a variety of choices to eat!
Plenty of stores, clean, wifi... best mall in North Bay
No competition therefore not the best service. I have the impression that customers don't matter. Strickly business.
Good place to do yur shopping a little bit of everything of stores u might be looking for.
Cant wsit for byebye covid
If you take away the jewelry stores and cell phone stores there is not much in the mall. It's a great-looking mall with not much variety
Very dungeon like I feel like I'd be a Hobbit in a murky cave
Great mall. Good shop variety. Good prices!!
Alot of waiting in lines during covid.
Most stores closed as a result of covid. Picked up groceries curb side
Some empty store fronts but good variety and food.
Not a bad mall, has some good stores but there are a lot of vacant stores as well. Decent food court.
Organized for the opening of malls. Decent selection of stores.
Great mall with tons of different stores, always stop here every time traveling threw north bay
Could use a couple more store options however very impressed. Very clean. Everyone seems to be very friendly. Awesome for kids.
Lots of good quality stores. Food fair covers basics. Great place to walk kids around in bad weather. Plenty of free parking.
We went to the walmart at Northgate mall and it was probably the best experience I've ever had at any Walmart.
Lots of stores but the age is showing
Hard to find phone cases for the Sony Xperia. Had fun talking with staff in all the cell stores, Best Buy, and kiosks; all staff was friendly and offered suggestions.
Lots of stores to choose from Food court is minimal though. Take note the mall hours state one time but the stores seem to close when they feel like it.
Nice big mall. Lots of parking, although it does get really busy on the weekends.
There's everything in there, including my workplace ????????
They didnt have what I wanted.
Great place to shop a great variety of stores
Friendly staff good service
Great mall great service.
Good food, nice selection of stores
It is the only one in North Bay
Fun place for kids and decent shopping.
Shopping Centre facility was good. Dean at Tip Top Tailors will make sure you are looking sharp. I'd say he gave me at least a good hour of dedicated advice to create the perfect outfit.
Good food court and decent selection of shopping. Evidently more oriented for female shoppers though.
Pretty good shopping mall for the area!
Hoping they regain there business
Use to live in Downtown Toronto. Decent though, and plenty of selection.
Variety of stores, wheelchair accessible, food court etc
Good variety of stores and good foodcourt as well
The centre is decent and you can find most of what you are looking. Therefore I would not recommend the food court.
Excellent shopping . Great. Choices for everyone!
Kind of an empty place. Too many storefronts closed or out of business.
Clean, quiet shopping center with lots of good stores, a big food court, and tasty restaurants! Stores have remained open throughout the pandemic and they follow all guidelines. (handwashing stations, extra masks, markers on floors to ensure social distancing)
It's a basic mall, with the two anchor stores, Walmart & Best Buy. There are plenty of stores for women & men's clothing, plus sizes included, Sears & specialty stores also compliment the assortment.
Very clean, lots of great stores, many places to sit and rest.
Always have loved shopping here. Its more busy then it used to be but still a calm environment to browse and buy item in.
Its a nice mall but can be very crowed.
A friendly mall where the kids can run around.
Love to just grab a coffee and window shop,very clean mall,great customer service desk
best place to shop when you have to wait a couple of hours for your bus at the Bus Terminal.
Always have liked this Mall. Been shopping here since 1998 when we moved here. The grand opening banners celebrating the new Walmart were still up. I can find almost everything I need within the mall and connected stores. Only complaint is that It does need more seating throughout. Yes the Covid pandemic has changed so much of our lives and how we have to distance ourselves, wear a mask covering both mouth and nose and get Vaccinated before someone they know and love succumbs to this virus. That being said, this city still remains a college/University, outdoors travel location/ destination and retirement town. Us people over 55 need places to sit and enjoy the atmosphere and People watching in a safe clean warm dry place to rest our weary bones. Given that Northgate has great businesses and great people/staff it's really a no brainer. Shop Here!! but please put the couches back would you? You could Provide a disinfectant spray like at the gym or even wipes. This is our new normal people
Nice Mall but nothing too fancy. It was super clean on the day I visited. Food court is small.
It's got basically everything you need! A great mall!
Mall in North Bay opens at 7:00 am, has a Tim Hortons, Walmart, Sears, Diamonds and Best buy
The mall is spacious and has a few useful outlets but is basically just a combined walmart/bestbuy with a food court. Im not sure how most the businesses in this mall cover their leases let alone wages.
Great shopping just in a weird area
Great mall for Northern Ontario. Good selection of stores and kiosks... Wife lost her wallet here, staff was very friendly and helpful and got it back to her.
Good mall without thugs and stuff
The center is very friendly shopping place.
Love the stores, absolutely HATE!! their parking lot. Very tight spots and extremely disorganized layout!!
The Northgate Mall gives opportunities to shop st many stores including world famous Walmart and many more.
Nice mall. Not to busy when I went with my family
Decent mall had all u would need to look good more than one good store however the food court needs to be bigger with better selection all the food except A and W and New York fries is horrible
A surprisingly large mall compared to what I was expecting. Certainly the biggest for a long way in any direction. A good variety of stores inside too.
Excellent place to shop and meet friends and family
Its okay, not over the edge & amazing like the ones in southern Ontario but still covers your daily needs.
Good service, however it is worth mentioning that Walmart will be closed down for a month due to arson as of 11/22/20
Very curteous, and clean mall
I love this mall so muchhhh
Great mall for North Bay. Lots of stores (very few vacancies).
Great selection. Very clean. High quality establishment
I liked it none of the clerks bugged me. Everything I needed was available people were nice to me and smiled back. Woulda gave 5 stars if there was more to do rather than shop.
Great selection of stores, kept very clean, and overall a great place to shop and chill!
Pretty spacious
Dairy queen is dank, I wish foot locker sold better ice cream. Smh their ice cream tastes like feet
Nice clean place , a great variety of stores .... and staff always have a smile waiting for me , and maybe you as well ... ????
The washroons were quite clean however I missed options such as restaurants and playground for kids
Lovely little mall! If you're reading this try the bourbon chicken at Tropical Grill, I'm not kidding when I say it's probably the best chicken you'll ever have. I was shocked!!!
No main draw unless you count Walmart,lol.
It was pretty good had every item i needed.
The mall has a good variety of stores in a walkable footprint.
Had everything I needed and was alot of fun. Could use some more niche focused stores rather then 3 jewlery stores.
Nice mall. Has almost everything I need. I just did my taxes here. ????
Nearly 100's of shops, One of the busiest mall in North Bay area.
Place is built like a maze, but there's lots of neat little places. I only come here on my way further north on the bus that's so graciously connected by the tunnel and I always find something I've been looking for.
Really nice mall. Most of the stores have super friendly staff. All the stores we want in a mall. Food court is small, bit enough choices to make everyone happy. Not too busy on a Sunday, which was nice.
Walmart is very disappointing staff is very rude and lazy
Good selection. Only seven shopping mall in town. Conviently on major bus routes.
Large selection of stores, by who needs 10 different places to buy a cell
Huge place, reduced prices and really nice building. everything was lovely.
Good mall, hours altered because of covid but nothing we can do about that. As well the leggings store by koodo is great.
Not a lot of stores but the stores they have are really good
Good place with lots of stores and food court.
Wal mart still has great deals
Alot to do here.. so far never had a bad experience here.
All in one shopping from Walmart to Best Buy
Ok but need to address how slippery the floors are
It was horrible. A friend and I went to buy so e toilet paper from Walmart. Now my friend called spoke to customer service and the female said a truck is coming in for 6pm today which the call was done Monday around 1pm. The manager of Walmart needs to know his employees are giving false information out when were on a toilet paper shortage.
Almost all variety stores are available. Food court is also open now.
I found what I was looking for ????
Not a bad mall for the city it's in.
Great mall for size of the city. Most popular outlets can be found here.
Small not much selection
Large, one level mall with a large variety of specialty stores as well as a Walmart. Indoor parking structure.
Great place to shop ...
It's a really good mail. It has variety of stores
Stores are well varied and the food court has lots of selection. Never very busy. The only problem is the Walmart carts stall once you go into the mall section.
Not much happening there....hope the Sears store turns into another entrance to the mall..with small stores.
Very annoyed that they have only 2 handicapped scooters for the entire mall, one of which is donated by a service club. Stores are not physically handicapped friendly. Does have many nice stores though.
Very good service great stores I love the cafeteria good food and well coming!!
Great place to shop lots of stores. Sears is closing unfortunately but some good dales on there.
It's the better Mall in town ????????
Great place friendly staf
Good mall with plenty of stores to keep you busy !
Really good mall.
I would rather go to this mall before the one on Lakeshore
As a Torontian, I never thought that I would ever shop in this mall because for a long time I did not believe that the merchants had anything to offer me. But there are a few places that I shop in this mall like Sears, LaGernier,Virgin pone and the jewelry merchants. But there are merchants in this mall that charged you to use your debit card and that bugs me so I hate going to this mall and if it were not for the above-mentioned store I would never set foot in that place
It got everything one needs for your everyday shopping trip. Clean, well-structured, nice...it won't blow your mind but I'm fine with it
Interesting stores you wont find at other malls
Good place to do shopping of all kinds of stuff
A great variety of stores. Mall is very clean.
Love shopping here has almost everything
Excelent shoping variety. North Bay's best mall.
Lots of stores and well lite. Good place to spend some time and money
Lots of stores available, decent food court options
Walmart was packed as per usual. Good times great selection.
Great mall with plenty of retailers to choose from.
Everything you want or need is right here
They open a little later then I would like 930am and I expected 9am
Clean, lots of parking and everything you could need or want
Grocery stop for New Years Eve!
Great place to meet a friend. Leading concept for Ontario Northland City-to-City Bus.
My family members and I feel good here.
Everything you need in a mall, good selection, great stores, food court new parking structure grocery store Walmart, best buy
So many good stores!
Your one stop shop and you'll find what you're looking for no matter what.
Good place to shop wifi sucks tho ...
Clean, great selection of stores.
Can only shop Walmart and dollerstore do see why they mall can't be open with curbside pick up at each store
I just love this little have it all mall!
Nice to see more stores. Pleasant staff even on Black Friday.
If you need it, you'll probably find it here
Typical mall. . . Get most things here.
There's alot of different stores, plus a Cineplex.
Even though most of the stores are closed right now, those offering curbside are doing an excellent job. The mall staff are doing a good job at keeping everything well sanitized.
Staff was friendly a totally great place.
It's a one stop shopping place for everything from A-Z
Great selection of stores and restaurants and very clean.
Great just to walk through the mall with a coffee in hand.
For a small city great mall
Good experience, employees are usually very friendly.
It's technically the only mall in Northbay so... Can't 5 star them but also can't 1 star them. Not their fault just the city politics fault. The other one has sadly just been left to rott.
All around solid mall with lots of options for whatever you need, food court has plenty of options too as long as you're not too picky. Only thing I wish was better is the open and close times, currently the mall opens at 10am most days and closes at 8pm weekdays but at 6pm and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday respectively, which in my opinion is terrible hours because most people are already at work by 9am and aren't even off of work until 5 or 6 anyway so how are they going to get shopping in?
This shopping center is by far the best. We stop by every time we are in the area. They also have a great food court with a large variety and assortment of fine foods.
Great mall to shop at!
Nice place to spend a snowy day and meet friends for coffee.
Awesome management, they do all kinds of cool kids stuff like the indoor Halloween event and pro wrestling in the parking lot.
I do my shopping whent I need to
For a DIY or temporary park not bad. Asphalt surface oddball great but hey
Congested, but a good shopping centre. Not for a quick stop though.
Your all-gebder bathroom was marked clearly with an inclusive symbol for the trans community. This is SO IMPORTANT and so rare! Thank you so much!!
Nice mall. Just didn't see anything interesting there. Has all the usual stores you'd find at other malls.
It's got sheltered parking too
Great place to get everyday products in life. Multiple stores to choose from, cloths,shoes food,electronics glasses prescriptions ect.
I really like this mall. It has alot to offer and the prices for most part was lower than Sudbury. I was able to buy a new set of outdoor furniture for less than 1/2 the price that I had my eyes on!
Nice mall.... get more bathroom signs... almost peed my pajamas
A mall with all amenities, food bathrooms people!
Busy busy busy.. ..a nice mall..no a beautiful mall..
Good parking mall is ok. Walmart however didn't appear to have anyone working. Spent 10 min trying to find an employee in the sports and hunting section. Finally gave up and didn't see any walmart employees from back of store till grocery and check out area. Just kept on going. There are other places to spend my money.
It’s great seeing familiar faces from 20 years ago while cruising this mall.
Stopped at the Beer and Liquor store....great selection of beverages
Great mall however the parking set up is crazy!!!
Because they have a variety of hot and cold drinks and the prices are still low.
All the charm of a mall in a small city. Had the basics and a Walmart
Lots of nice stores to keep u shopping
Needs more variety. Higher end stores and better product lines. However it's a mall. In northern Ontario.
It was fun! things are sky high in price after coming back after 5 years to visit family...that has changed. It's horrible how people must be struggling to make ends meet. Walmart needs to lower their prices and other stores as well...give the people a damned break.
Love the mall. Can spend a day in there putting thru the stores.
This place has a big parking lot. The inside is clean.
Great clean place to shop
The mall is still ok. Not enough variety for older farts who are tall shopping wise. Great nostalgia...retail ain't what it used to be.
Lots of parking and a lot of different stores under one roof.
There is a lot to do in this mall. The food court has some good food too. Wifi works good, and is pretty fast for mall wifi.
Clean Friendly Staff All "Sale Signs" Visable
Lots of stores but food court has 3 options
Nice mall has just about everything
North Bay largest Mall - find a variety of stores here and a food court. Conveniently attached to Walmart. Fun fact.. there is a Pokémon Go Pokéstop at the main entrance.
This is the one and only real mall in North Bay; can find anything here; alongside a convenient in mall access to Wal-Mart .
North Bay's biggest mall, but only a few store that I actually go to.
This place is going to die a long slow painful death
Lots of stores in one pluz American stores I felt like I was home in usa again
First time at this mall. We didn't wander too much here but from what we can see, the mall is clean.
Great mall and selection considering size of city and key location
Not too many options compared to city shopping centers
You know what would be great here? If they actually set up a nice area for Boodockers - that's the whole fleets of campers and RV's that stop at mall parking lots to sleep at night while they travel.
Best mall for miles. Food court is pretty decent
northgate walmart and other stores. wally is king in north bay.
Good variety of stores and a decent food court. Gets busy on weekends but plenty of parking.
Has everything you need considering the situation,e of the city.
Love this place ???????? great for everything you need!
Too busy to enjoy anymore, limited hrs..
Parking is terrible. Good food court. An ok selection of stores.
Great mall when all the stores are open
Nice place. Too busy for me.
It's a mall... a mall that doesn't even let you charge your ebike... a mall that is falling behind in the times.... I was told I'm not only not allowed to charge my ebike there... but then I was left a nasty note in chalk around my ebike by staff saying that I can't park in their garage since its a fire hazard...wait what!?!?! They did get new strollers so that's cool.. but they made a bad choice to allow that animal riding store in the mall... I get run over all the time by those things... and have to stop because little kids cut me off or stop in front of me on a dime. It's a cool thing for kids to play on ... but why not give them a store to build a racetrack or something instead.
Super clean mall and food court
Wow. It's been a while since I've been to this mall. Just stopped into Best Buy. The staff were great.
This mall is clean and the staff are always respectful
Descent size and shop variety. Large enough food court. Right by the bus station, accessible through a passageway.
Plenty of good stores and places to eat
Should have advertised only three stores were open. Waste of time going there.
Best mall in town... There are only two tho. This place doesn't have terrible prices too
Nice mall
i ordered a fricken 5- piece chicken strip meal from a&w and they didn’t give me a meal, they charged me for a chicken AND a fry SEPERATELY !!!! and, the worst part of it all, they gave me FOUR CHICKEN STRIPS, not FIVE, f o u r. F O U R CHICKEN STRIPS for $8.10 !!! NOT FIVE !!!!!!! F O U R. there’s not even a four option!!! only 3 and 5 !!!! otherwise i like the mall a lot.
Really good. Should have more stores
The entire service industry forgot what service is. Some stores are better than others. Funny enough, Best Buy was one of my best experiences. And because of that I spent a lot of money there. I think it was because it was a newer employee. He was eager to do well. Many other stores make me work harder to spend my money than they have to to take my money. And as such I just won't spend my money there. Clearly they have enough if they don't need mine.
Wondefu place with all the things that you need around you. And affordable price and quality. Good for family ????.
Many stores, shops, and kiosks, nice food court, clean and safe feeling.
Great mall. Lots of stores!
I like the mall-like atmosphere here.
Small but very attractive
Great mall for a little town
Great place in North Bay. We came from Montreal and made a stop here to eat. Not only we ate, we also did shopping, so many stores. The place has enough parking and the food court is quite spacious.
Always fun to look in this mall! Super busy but always clean and lots of variety. The food court has hot food with clean restrooms. Lots of parking available both covered and in the lot.
Its awesome one of our biggest malls in north bay and one of ohr best but it should have a movie theater
I like to go shop and make good finding
You can find most anything you need here, and they are helpful and friendly!
Excellent variety of shops, great choices in food court
Northgate is really the only worth while mall to shop at. Used to have Sears as well as Wal-Mart but Sears is no longer.
Has some good stores, When I go there my first stop is always Tim Hortons for my daily fix of caffeine. Walmart is always open late and certain holidays.
Small.. Clean though... Not the best or worst Mall
Great mall. I just wish some of the stores they have there would stay for longer. Stores you would think would last (like the GAP) end up closing after 4-5 years
Lots of parking, stores. And very clean
It's a well equipped mall everything you would expect. Good food court and alot of parking.
Pretty big mall. Lots to choose from. Spent a lot of money
Nevada tickets inside hahaha
This place is only open until 6, which makes no sense.
Not a Bad mall for the North Bay Area it has almost everything that you could need
I like visiting this place when it gets closer to Christmas because of all of the extra vendors that show up and the festive atmosphere. The food court is a common stop for me when I've had a busy day of shopping.
Hey the best shopping center on the planet ...welcome to bipolar bay you all.
E
Pretty dated and basic so I only really go if I need something from Best Buy
Not a bad mall to visit being that it's in a small city.
Great foodcourt. Easy to find stores. Clean, good parking.
Great variety and easily accessible parking.
Nice clean mall. Decent selection.
Always stop by here see if I know anybody in the mall
Nice place, very friendly place and clean.
I had a wonderful time. I would totally visit again.
Nice variety of stores.
Ge.t in get out im not a shopper
Staff is always pretty friendly, they usually have anything you'd want.
It's the only mall in North Bay! Don't complain.
Just did some shopping service good
Services from fido was exelent DJ served me his politness was exelent he took the time to explain everything thank you DJ
A great little mall that I've been coming to since I was young kid visiting family up here in North Bay ????
Its has just about everything you'd need in one place !
Gets more and more weird with covid
Great service, large selection of colours.
Has most stores and shops. Parking isn't great. Food court is terrible.
Good variety of stores. Ready access from highway. Plenty of parking. Immediately noticed that people are very friendly, over and beyond usual Canadian!
Lots to find and again I had good service, friendly staff when I had a question. Almost All things to find here.
Nice mall a pain for lots of shopping. No carts to use and leave behind. You actually have to return them sometimes to the other end.
Worst food court, needs a makeover with more modern or unique style food vendors.
The Walmart here is tiny! The store layout is a mess, could hardly stay apart from other customers. In these COVID times felt like I was being breathed on the whole time.
Nice and quiet today at the mall..just the way I like it..
Perfect for the sign of North Bay, great atmosphere and mostly friendly staff in all stores.
Okay mall...only place to shop in city..not enough department stores..Sears is sure missed
It's a good mall, decent selection and friendly staff. I wish the food court was bigger
Good shopping
Even with COVID stores give great service
Multiple stores to shop at, a gym to exercise and good place indoors for walking enthousiasts.
Good selection of stores for the size of the city
A very good shopping centre and we always enjoy shopping there
Friendly staff, all the big city stores
Great place for shopping just moved here.
Pretty good selection of stores, lots of parking and a food court with good variety. A couple of empty stores though and a few roof leaks in spring time, but still a solid place to do your shopping in one place
Good place to place to shop missing a few items, quality on certain items mediocre
Pretty good selection of stores. A nice place to kill time or stretch when travelling
I always enjoy shopping here. The stores and variety always keep me coming back.
My closet Mall well laid out
The problem with this mall is there are too many people from North Bay there.
It has a lot of stores which means variety. The staff are helpful. Wheelchair access could be improved.
Lots of places to shop or experience with people and things needed for Life.
Many places to shop! Clean and friendly atmosphere.
There's a decent selection of shops and and good parking
Nice shopping center. Just went there to grocery shop.
Not a great place to go to u less you have a Dr's appoinment upstairs
Nice mall, just wish it had more stores.
Mostly come here for the Foodcourt which even though has had a lot of places close due to Covid, it still maintains a good level of food quality
Lots of parking. Good variety of stores plus the food court. Always deals somewhere in the mall.
Clean, friendly staff, mass variety of stores.
Don't know how to say but great place to visit at weekend
Truly a nice mall.
The mall sucks... no good shops in there. . So many empty stores
Decent selection of stores. Well kept mall
Great place to shop, eat and chill.
Amazing mall Very deceiving from the outside
It gets busy and parking can get frustrating.
Rv parking was great thanks for allowing it.????????
Better than no mall at all LOL
Lovr this place. Great stores wish they had an old navy or childrens place though. And a play area for the kids would be amazing.
So very busy but everything u need is here
Good selection of stores. Not too busy
always clean..lots of stores..walmart..sears closing
This mall really needs a revamp after Sears left
Got what i needed and parking was easy
Not a great mall to shop at but it does get the job done. There really is not a whole lot to make you want to go there.
Lots of places to shop, lots of friendly staff
Great shopping and lots of parking. A favorite for RV's
Huge place, good prices,hard to find staff when needed. Washrooms available.
They have a lot ofte Nice things
It's very convenient that Walmart is open late!
Security guard rude and unprofessional.
6/10 Mall
Great place to shop. Not too busy! Usually find what I require!
Lots of parking if you do not mind a little walk. Mall is spacious so does not feel crowded even during holiday season
If you would like to see a "Who's Who" of North Bay undesirables than look no further than Northgate. The smell of the mall is not helped by the hundreds of shoppers who dont appear to have bathed in the last few years. The mall is far to lenient on known law offenders to be seen as a safe space. If it wasnt for this being the only mall in town im sure it would have been closed long ago. Mall management apparently doesnt care about the upkeep of the mall or the image they project to the public. If you would like to grab a coffee and hang out with friends I doubt you will be able to find seating during the day as the mall is usually filled with regulars who dont appear to buy anything and just use the mall as a way to get out of the house (and occasionally make a rude gesture or comment towards woman) 2 Stars for being the only game in town
Good sized mall for small city .Good selection of stores anchored at one end with a large Walmart store. Food court has nice selection of eats and drinks. Plenty of parking .
So glad the watch repair from Sears opened. Thank you Fast Time Watch Repair for fixing my watch!
Lots of good stores, great variety.
Only mall I will shop at in my town.
Many stores, plenty of seasonal clothing and decor, to be found. Dollarstore and Walmart are a must!
Best place for christmas shopping in North Bay
Nice mall.... Just not a huge store selection.
Best mall in town. But prefer to shop downtown
Cool mall.... lol.. all kinds of what you need, gotta look..ha ha
Veryvbusu place on weekends and evenings best time to go is early morning to lunch time
Great place to get it all. Has a convenient bus stop that has some protection from the elements
Clean with lots of stores still open!
Great mall with lots of selection
Fairly good mall for a small town. Has everything you'd need in a mall. Only thing it needs is a bigger draw in the old sears location.
how much does it cost to lease a space (don't know how to properly phrase that)
This is my go to shopping centre! You can spend hours browsing or be in and out real quick if you need to. Good variety of stores.
Best mall around. Enough said
The Northgate mall has a lot of variety. There is a Walmart, a bunch of clothing stores, fast food restaurants, jewelry stores, ect.
Great place good selection of stores
I love to shop locally . As for our Northgate shopping center it seriously needs some updated stores so most don't have to shop out of town but in most cases it leaves us no choice. I am very anoyed that you can not bring a shopping cart in the mall to help with your heavy items especially around the holidays. Not many people can walk around with t.v. sapped to there back Nd go in and out clothing stores to try clothes on its just a plane stupid rule. I promise you it has and it will stop me and many others from shopping at the mall... we need plus stores for women and big and tall shops for men! It's like north bay shopping has gaps of stores that we need and have here. That must change
Pretty good selection of stores. Very community minded
Question by security just as walking in lol felt like a big prison
Lots of parking, clean store, and friendly staff.
My two favorite stores at the shopping centre are the 'Showcase store' (when it first opened it was called 'As seen on TV' you can pretty much guess what they have if you've ever suffered with insomnia and watched infomercials, they have a little bit of everything trending, yes their prices are a little bit higher then just ordering it yourself however, almost everything comes with some kind of a warranty and since they bought it they need to make a little money back to right?! Bought a hidden gems candle from there, came with a very nice ring, although charmed has then on fragrance, my next purchase from there is the charcoal toothpaste to see of that really works! My second favorite store is of course 'Dollarama' sometimes people get confused on they are really selling and to set the record straight no, they do not have expired food products on the or shelves, they may buy overstock from other stores, that might be more rare now because they now have their own line of different foods made specifically for their chain. Bought a loaf of bread from there once and it was the freshest and softest bread I've ever had, compared to homemade. The best isle in dollarama to me is the arts and crafts section, its a scrapbookers dream isle and here's a secret to scrapbooking, if you think you don't know how to scrapbook you do, if you can place pictures and fun shapes and jewels on paper you're a scrapbooking pro! I recently purchased an art book and some watercolor pencil crayons yes that's what I said, can't wait to try them out! Already have a some great ideas to try and draw and them paint over them with a water soaked brush to make it look better! I'll post pics to this post next time I'm at the mall
I went and did a big purchase this evening and the cashier was rough with my items and I had to stop the cashier, and ask him to be respectful and careful with the items I was purchasing.. he didn't like that and didn't even say I am sorry, …
It's a sad situation, seeing only Walmart open. The staff there are great though, helpful.
Mall is usually great, staff in some of the individual stores are terrible. Went to do some spring shoe shopping over the last few weeks. We went to Softmoc and I had picked out two pairs of shoes totalling nearly $200 and my wife was interested in some combat boots they had on special. She asked for her size and the guy working went to look. He came back and said he didn't have her size (which is fine. It was a clearance item,) but rather than offer assistance looking for something similar or even waiting for her follow up question about the boots that were not on special he walked away without another word and started chatting with a friend who was hanging out, totally ignoring us. Needless to say, I put back the shoes I had picked out and went elsewhere. I found identical shoes at Dawson Shoes where the staff was happy to help.
Love that ken the balloon dude is there on Thursdays!!!
Stores either survive or fall and the few big ones keep it open.
A very nice shopping mall. Always clean and a nice variety of shops.
Friend got a new phone ... rep very friendly & helpful ... this time Chai tea was available
Nice place to stop for supplies with lots of parking
Convenient location & good selection of shops
Not a great selection of stores, no restaurant, alot of empty stores, security guards everywhere, rude employees, dirty bathrooms, no Shoppers, music store blaring their terrible music so you can’t shop there without getting a headache, one store had a flood, another store has bugs in its change rooms.
Not a bad place to shop
Nice clean mall
Okay if you like malls.
I went there to get my finger sized so my girl can get me a V-day ring and the employee at Wal-Mart couldn't open the safe thing and then broke a key in the lock. Now I don't know what my finger size is. Over all the rest of the mall is a great place with great food great service and great products at a competitive price.
Great place, lots of variety, layout is a bit confusing and somewhat mild access points of entrance/exit but overall a solid place to go
It has everything I need to do most of my shopping all in one place. Always clean too.which is important too Sorry to see that Sears too.
Actually it was all the helpful people
Lots of nice shops
Not bad mall
It's a mall. Pretty much the same stuff that most malls have in Canada.
Not to crowded even at this time of year.
Good Prices. Can get all your needs at one Stop.we Shop there 2 time Month
Could use more handicap parking spots because it's very difficult to find 1 also find that parking spaces are too narrow and short for my half ton truck
Lots of open parking with a multilevel parking garage as well. Food court with multiple choices and a good selection of stores including bestbuy and walmart.
Good place to wander around and spend money
Very impressed with stores
A smaller mall that has most of the amenities you would be looking for. Easy walking and not too crowded.
Good store selections; good hours of business busy on saturdays.and holidays
Modern shopping centre with many popular retailers. Large food court. Clean facilities.
Organized friendly staff. Not enough care paid to people wearing masks properly. I was there for 20 minutes and saw about a dozen people with masks not covering their noses. Management should be monitoring for this and asking them to fix it or having escorted out.
Picked up my love from the bus station ????
Something for everyone, i enjoy the food courts variety!
Wal-Mart was great to get what I needed at decent prices
Pretty solid mall, something for everyone
This mall needs some new stores seriously bad
best mall in NB
This mall offers lots of variety in its stores.
Unfortunately Sears is gone. Otherwise it's a nice small city shopping mall.
Good place to shop stores clean and prices are reasonably store selection not bad
My mother needs a knee surgery so she can barely walk. They denied her a wheelchair to get around in the mall. Many words I would like to say to express my feelings.
Good verity for store selection. You will find something for everyone
I liked it very much.
Very handy to grab all you needs
It doesn't have some of the better clothing stores like Charlottetown or Sudbury.
It's a 5 mainly because we really do not have another mall. There certainly are some great stores but we miss Sears!
Not bad for Northern Ontario shopping center. It has the basic chain store's and a decent Walmart and Sears
Went to walmart
The staff are very helpful, cheerful and friendly. I would definitely go again.
You can't expect such a wonderful and organized place at North Bay . Walmart is here . Great . You will find everything here
Was ok
Great place to meet friends and to shop.
Major mall in North Bay, Ontario. Easy to access from the bypass. Good location for RVs to spend the night. Close to a TD bank and an Independent Grocer's. Mall has a food court, a Best Buy and a Walmart. Hopefully, will soon have a new retailer or two to replace the Sear's.
Good every day shopping
Was able to find what I was looking for.
Many great stores. One stop shop.
Great deals. Should be open a little later than 5pm for travellers.
Good selection of stores. And the seating is good if you need a rest.
Don't see many malls anymore, and this one is great. Nice walking area and great stores. An asset to North Bay.
It has a large parking lot plus a parking structure. There is a large variety of stores inside. You can buy jewelry and get it engraved for your special someone. There's also plenty of kiosks set up with a good selection. There is plenty of mobile carriers available as well. Large food court. Pretty much has anything you might be looking for all under one roof.
Had to wait 7 minutes in line at Independent Checkout while some one took the time to do a price check. And this was in the 2 to 1w Express Lane. Check out person was not friendly at all.
a lot bigger than when we used to come here, additions have been added. lots of shopping
Large shopping centre with Walmart many name brand clothing stores Dollar Rama and food court
If you're going to close off almost all stalls and sinks ect. At least make sure the stalls open have cost hangars and decent toilet seats! Washrooms sad. Otherwise mall not too bad. A little excessive on the Covid response.
This place is good but average, the mall is busy at times, the staff is helpful at times not always. Shopping here is not the greatest but okay, not so much of the selection of stores there.
Plenty of shops to go to and a vibrant food court.
Stores seem to be following all the procedures ex,washing counters after every customer comes to the cash ,hand sanitizer and so on.. But still noticed some people pulling there masks down and talking.
Good clean mall with a good selection of stores. Bathrooms have always been clean. Tons of parking and the parking garage is free which is nice too
Excellent mall, has everything from meals, groceries, electronics and clothing. Shame it lost Sears.
I'm really not one of those people who like shopping but this place is pretty good it's laid out well so you can find everything fast and get out.
Got most of what I needed at Walmart.
The Mall needs to be updated. With some new affordable stores. There isn't much left there. A lot of the good stores have closed down. The clothing stores that are there really don't have any nice clothes. Therefore we have to go away from here to shop. Would be nice to have them at home.
Clean; great selection of stores
Only wish other stores where open. I miss my other stores.
Could use extended hours on Saturdays, year round for travelers and out of town guests. Public who works longer hours or overtime on weekends
Lots of shops a food court .clean lots of rest areas. Stroller rentals and animal car things you can ride
Nice mall with a number of well known shops. The food court is too small and does not offer much variety. Lack of signs to shops and washroom. Could do with more washroom. Loved that they have sitting areas in the corridors. Access to Walmart from the mall is a plus.
A good one stop. Could use a Canadian Tire though.
Great stores.
It's not a bad place to shop there walmart is great
Alwayr good n kool place be
Only mall in town worth going to and has lots of stores.
Unbelievably busy thru out excellent store one stop shopping
Easy access right off the hwy. With plenty great stores. They have something for everyone
It is what it is, can't complain. Frequent it a lot.
Found what I was looking for for my Christmas gift shopping easily.
lots of shopping variety and many deals to be found.decent food court
Shopping ok. Staff amazing. There's this Tim fella, I think he works maintenance. They need to give him a raise he holds that place together. Like we always say "U have a problem! Find Tim he'll solve it! "
Ok, was a little annoyed on how to enter the mall especially if you have to use the washroom, I had to walk to the other side of the mall before I could go, surprised I didn't pee my pants.
Lots of different stores and close enough to many provincial parks to make it a good place to stock up on essentials when camping!
My first time since early March, felt good to be shopping a bit.
Clean and well laid out, wide walkways make it comfortable to shop, even when busy. Parking is plentiful on all sides, but the midnight only snow clearing leaves for some snowy day nightmares. The food court has a reasonable selection of food varieties, and an interior Tim's is a welcome addition. The variety of shops for a mall of this size is somewhat limited though, which, let's face it, is the reason to go to a mall...all the above prior mentioned positives are just window dressing. There are at least 4 jewellery stores, two bath and body style stores, and several places to buy shoes. Too much repetition! A smattering of cheap to moderately priced clothing is added to by a few major anchors in Best Buy and Walmart. Thankfully there area few mom & pop type places to add a hint of differences. I juat think, given the geographic placement, lack of effective competition and population draw that this mall should be a bit more interesting. And really North Bay, shouldn't the theatre be here too! Why is it way down in Ferris!
If only there was a place to by cheep see-through clothing! Oh wait... All the stores have that. Ok, what makes this mall different from all other malls is that it has massage chairs yeah that's it, go to this mall for that reason only.
Black Friday at best buy. They messed up my laptop setup
Great mall in North Bay having everything you can't want and need! Very friendly people and staff all around. Must check out if ever in North Bay. Pick up some ornaments from Santaville they have amazing personalized ones!
Don't like it opening so late every day.
Very clean, lots of parking access , allow people excercises walking all years long. Event for Children throught the years
The mall is always a good experience for most shopping. Security is friendly. Free wifi here too.
Northgate is basically the only mall in North Bay. With Sears closing shoppers are going leave town to shop. TACO BELL is moving into location..will become more than a restaurant. Slaughter house included. What!!
I love to do the shopping at Wal-Mart
This mall has exactly what you're looking for -- so long as you're an octogenarian with more money than brains. The mall management obviously does not care about the well being or upkeep of the mall, as there are leaks all over the place. The only bastion of hope for this mall is due to the outstanding work of security, a true light in the otherwise eternal abyss of existence within North Bay, Ontario.
It's a good place to shop
Place needs a good deep clean. Was nice to be able to safely shop and eat inside a mall.
Awesome mall....great place to shop
They don't want business from trucker's though which is a issue for me my husband does long haul does not leave garpage anyware on the ground or would not block any other vehicles as he is a true professional. Bad on them less money they can make not very smart business wise. We made a quick stop five minutes didn't see the sign and spent 54.00 dollars.
This mall has a good variety of stores. The place I like to visit is Booster Juice, located near the food court.
Too many places not open NO carts hard for seniors no where to sit or rest
Not alot of dirt
Always a great experience shopping at the Northgate mall.
Nice mall. Clean and lots of stores
Cool stores and thx for the wheelchair
Lots of stores to choose from. Lots of in the mall events that are creative and kid orientated
Lots of places to park and has ramps so it's accessible.
Few of my fave stores are in there
Best mall in town, wish it had a few more stores
Clean,food court good choices,Lotsa baby stuff
Can't believe the number of closed stores.
There isn't that many brands for you to shop at. They have a lot of tech, Walmart and a lot of jewelry. And some clothing stores
Great big place, plenty of parking, plenty of traffic, plenty of potholes. We avoid unless we must. Northgate collects enough rent, fix your roads please.
Every time I write a review for the mall it never gets posted. This mall is awful. The worst people in this town hang out here on a daily basis. Some of them even go as far as to hit on woman who walk by. Real Classy Who ever is in charge of this mall should be fired and replaced by people who have a clue.
Nice mall and lots of parking
Good place to shop when in North Bay.
Great selection of Shops all reasonably priced.
It's ok for a small city like North Bay but it could still use more variety. I know it's not the Upper Canada in Newmarket but folks in smaller places still itch for variety and to see or even own unique or things not often seen in rural Canada or even in the smaller towns and city's without having to travel to a bigger venue or even worse!!!!!!!!!!! SHOP ONLINE!!!!
Best all around place to shop in north bay. Food court is good too.
It looks way better inside than it does from ths outside!
Little dated...but has what you need.
Usually has what you need in one of the many stores
I had a delightful time at Northgate they had e everything I was looking g for
Not much brands if you are looking for but still got some stores like gap,footlocker and boat.
Northgate has all the stores you need. From books and jewelry to clothes and food. I go there often!
A nice clean environment. Needs a Costco ;)
Still quite a few places to shop. Online shopping hasn't killed this mall yet. David's tea is good.
Lots of good stores and always seems to be sales on. Nice food court too with good prices
Very few stores worth going to. Rude security. Meh.
Security guards are rude and like to abuse athority, like to follow people when only one complaint is made
There are many stores to shop at. Good food court. Well maintained. Covered parking lot.
Needs some better stores and a replacement for Sears. Stores close up early and instead of letting customers finish up their business in the store like decent places, they chase all customers out of the store at 9 PM or earlier and then close early. Stop closing early!
Walmart best but store selection is lame
Everything you need all at the one stop shop
Lots of good sales got a nice bench sweater at cheap price
This mall is outdated. Its filled w American stores. Wheres the canadian goods being sold.
There are two real malls in North Bay, and this one is substantially larger, with more selection. The attached Walmart is often handy, and it's very accessible, with a large parking lot and structure, and four bus routes stopping at the entrance. The inside is well maintained and generally a nice place to be, including the food court, which has food to cater to most tastes, including the somewhat exotic. The ceiling are high and loaded with skylights, which means that even on busy days the atmosphere is far from claustrophobic. The intersections are roomy enough for such displays as vehicle advertisements, and prominently an area for Santa to come visit, which I find is a particularly nice touch when the season rolls around. The corridors are comfortably wide, and the layout is simple enough that getting lost is not a concern. Overall a pleasant place for people who like malls. Also, it's kinda funny how many jewellery shops there are here. I've seen it fluctuate from four to something like seven. Maybe that's just the norm. Dunno.
An okay variety of stores and almost every thing you need in one place. Not usually over crowded and there's a good food court.
THE place for my family and I to shop when on holidays in Restoule. We actually hope for rain because that is the day we head to town. Food court is great. And a fav store called Maurices satisfies ages 12 to 60 with there styles. Love that mall.
Lots of retail options, lots of parking, it's accessible and it's clean.
Proof of vaccination to eat in the food court wasn't asked... disappointed. Could there have been persons with Covid 19 ??
They charge too much for rent. The stores keep moving out
Went to pick up packages that had been ordered from Walmart prior to the fire after receiving a phone message that items where available to picked at alternate place in the mall. No items found and odd excuses by the staff working this location.No real system for finding ordered items...poor service! Honestly, I probably will not shop from there again. Only reason I ordered online is because items were out of stock mostly everywhere Was told I will get the packages before Xmas...we will see
Lots of stores , timmies and a good food court
Nice mall lots of different stores. Pretty clean.
The mall is a great location, lots of stores to pick from. The food court could be better, you must pick your time wisely or your paying for old food
Found everything I needed cashier was very pleasant asked how I was and thanked me
Was going the wrong way on their arrows got yelled at by employees.
Nice shopping mall
I find it was awesome place to shop there.
Convenient, many shops, from low to high-end shopping, lots of parking.
Good mall, hard to get to shops though not all entrances were open when I went. I think it was because of Covid? Overall clean place but skip the washrooms.
The mall staff there we're awesome to deal with I recommend you go there to shop
I like north gate mall because meet people from other places. I don't trust the people go to the north gate mall lives on the streets. They well do same thing to the north gate mall.get the security guard keep I on them.
love all the different varieties of stores love the ice cream place
It’s a nice mall but they have speakers in the parking lot that alternate between screeching noises and what sounds like birds fighting. Walking to your car is pure torture.
Job Fair....Charm Diamond Centres Today ONLY
Huge mall, excellent prices, and good customer service. Many good memories and experiences.
Nice Mall, pretty much everything your looking for.
Has everything except new born babies for sale...got to love the one stop shop
Out of the other 75+ customers in the store. I only saw one older couple, a man and myself wearing a mask. Not even the employees were wearing them. Had one 50ish woman smear at me for wearing one. This virus is very real. If people had any intelligence they would be wearing masks until a vaccine is found. Maybe then after a year of having people vaccinated we could go back to not wearing masks. Unfortunately ignorance will kill many more people needlessly. What good is having directional marks on the floors of your stores and yet allow everyone to shop and cough and sneeze and handle products like it was 2018 !?!?!?
