Thank you for the Valley Fair video! I've been to this mall hundreds of times from 1989 to 2014. It's so different now.

It has changed a lot over the past decade. I would say it is the best mall in Northern California, probably all of California. Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it 😀

@@ExplorationToGo The Great Mall in Milpitas is really nice too. I’m from Miami, but I visited last month. I enjoyed both VF and Great Mall. I hope to be back in the Bay Area soon 😃

It was amazing

Thank you 😀

Thank you for this! I'm a video game developer, and I've been looking for references to design the mall level for my horror game. I live in the Midwest and am not able to visit the mall in person, so this is perfect reference material and just what I was looking for!

I loved coming here just to stroll around before the pandemic hit. It had a very Vegas-like vibe.

Yeah true. The Eataly does remind me of the Eataly in Vegas though. Thanks for the comment 🙂

I was an employee at banana republic in 1998-2000. San Jose is my hometown where I was born and raised. I love SJ.

@@ExplorationToGo Thanks, love your channel. Love all the tours around America, particularly SAN Diego! My channel is just recording elevators

This used to be a very busy mall. Santana Row literally took all of their business away. I was just there the other day and the damn thing was dead. I loved Valley Fair but I think it's gonna close soon due to Santana Row. What a waste of money for this mall having another major outdoor mall take it away. I miss working there, but I seriously think Santana Row is going to put them out of business soon. I still think this is the best mall in California, but how are they going to compete with something like Santana Row right across the street? Great video though. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment. Interesting that you say that. Personally, I don't think Valley Fair will lose business because it is the center of Silicon Valley with a large population and area coverage. The next decent mall is Hillsdale, and that is 30 miles away.

@jinbits lol, very true. To be honest, I try and preder to go to these places when it is the least busiest, filming purposes. It is hard to film when there is so many people around.

Looks marvelous but is the ghost 👻 Mall.😢

Yeah, there were less people than usual during that day of filming. Usually it gets pretty busy in that mall, especially during the holidays.

Nice walkthrough I use to work and would shop here years ago I moved out of California as it’s become way to expensive to live there anymore a lot happier in another state I am living in now and I am surprised or not surprised that some people were wearing masks still lol some people seem to not let go of there fears also shocking that the store Macys is still there hanging in as a business wanted to add when I use to work at this mall in 2015 it was teavana one of the worst jobs ever terrible experience the boss at the time was so rude not polite when greeting someone to come in the boss at the time didn't like that glad I was laid off at the time that job wasn't for me.
