For a more elevated dining experience within American Dream Mall but still near a lot of the action near Big Snow and other food options. Great pizza, bread, and mozzarella appetizers.

This is so fun for any time of year! We enjoyed this a family with the snow "playground", snow tubing, and the people mover. There's skiing and snowboarding for those more experienced with a real ski lift to take people up the "mountain".
