Entertainment
The AMC Rockaway 16 is the mall’s entertainment anchor — 16 screens with modern digital projection, recliner seating in select auditoriums, and online reservations so you can plan your movie before you even arrive. It’s a solid choice for a full day out: shop first, then catch a film in the evening. AMC also runs a loyalty program (AMC Stubs) that’s worth signing up for if you go more than once a month.
Dining
The food court covers the usual quick-service bases — pizza, burgers, Asian food, and sandwiches for a quick refuel between stores. For a sit-down meal, there are a handful of casual restaurants around the mall perimeter. Nothing groundbreaking, but reliable and convenient. If you want more variety, Rockaway has a strong independent restaurant scene within a few minutes’ drive from the mall — worth exploring before or after your visit.
Tips Before You Visit
- Go mid-week for the best experience — Rockaway is noticeably calmer Tuesday through Thursday. Weekends get busier, especially around the Apple Store and AMC.
- Download the Simon app — Seasonal sale events, store-specific promotions, and mall maps are all in there. Handy if you’re planning a targeted shopping run.
- No Bergen County blue laws here — Unlike GSP or Paramus Park, Rockaway Townsquare is in Morris County and stays open on Sundays. All stores, no restrictions.
- Book AMC tickets in advance — Friday and Saturday evenings fill up fast, especially for new releases. Reserve your seats online to avoid disappointment.
- Year-round indoor comfort — Fully climate-controlled, which makes Rockaway a smart choice on hot summer days or cold winter weekends when outdoor shopping isn’t appealing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our Take on Rockaway Townsquare
We’ve been visiting for years, and Rockaway is still a solid, reliable choice for Morris County. It’s got a great mix of everything — solid brands, easy parking, and it’s generally well-maintained. We noticed a few more empty spots lately, but the vibe is still very much alive compared to other suburban malls that have struggled. Additionally, having the AMC right there is a big bonus — Morris County doesn’t have many better options for a movie night, and the recliner seats in select auditoriums make it worth it.
