It should have atleast opened 70% of the stores, brand-wise. Also the timing during the summer will only attract the wrong crowd, which are infesting the rest of the country. The parking issue will only be alleviated when everyone goes back to work & school and to have proper SIGNAGE. The mall opened prematurely.

I was really dissapointed and the parking was terrible! Leaving the place was a nightmare.. The traffic going in and out uses the same winding road which congest things badly.... I will limit my trips to that place to morning visits if I decide to go back.... I actually went there to see if they were going to get Ice Age 3-D for their Imax theater and no one seemed to know anything... Spoke to the manager and he doubted they would get it... The place dissapointed me on so many levels... Mark,

My two bit: - The cinemas are all right - comfortable seating as in Avenues. - The food court set-up sucks - can't even make out what joints are available till you have a walked the whole distance. - The toilets are horrible - you'd be better off having emptied your bladder elsewhere. Comparable to public toilets on the road. - Last but not the least - The Parking. Although I was able to get a legal parking outside of Geant, getting in and getting out was a nightmare! And that too on a regular day (Monday). Have already scared friends and co-workers from visiting 360 unless they plan to park outside the parking zone.

But all out of fashion. They have a big wall of ben 10 just with one single item. some how the store is full with something. but weather it is exciting or not is debatable.

I dont disagree with the fact that Baroue is bigger in size. But if you compare with the variety and convenience.... there is no toy store in kuwait which can near Fantasy World. This is my personal experience... Hello Ryuuzaki,
