Exton Square Mall — Post-Closure Explore
I've visited this mall four times now: once in 2024, twice in 2025, and now once in 2026. This, however, was my parting farewell to this gorgeous, underappreciated structure.
My buddy and I ventured in here at night. Won't say how we got into the concourse (or the Macy's) but I think those of you who know this mall, or generally explore, should know.
Some pictures I took on my Song Alpha 6700 with the kit 18-135mm lens. Was supposed to be taking all of these shots on a Tamron 17-70mm, but it got delayed to next week. That was too long of a wait, for me anyway.
The Macy's already had some vandalism— mainly broken mirrors and glass, tipped water buckets, and petty graffiti on some walls. Be mindful of the leaking roof and the potential for ceiling tile to fall on you. We heard a "sploosh" which was a 2x2 finally getting too waterlogged and falling out of the ceiling about 15ft away from us.
I would say avoid the main concourse entirely unless you are willing to take an unnecessary risk (for the sake of pictures), as we did. My personal opinion is, stay on the 2nd floor and away from the food court area if you do.
I only visited here because I spent many of my childhood years running carefree through this mall's well-lit corridors while my parents shopped. As such, I wanted to get some pictures of a pristine structure before the Instagram and TikTok gremlins got to it because rest assured, they're going to get to it, and soon. The amount of tags, trash, and general chaos ALREADY present in or around the anchor stores is bewildering. So if you want to go and see this mall in a true "forgotten" state, now would be the time.
