ÆON Omiya

Choco almond Ice cream for 200 yen

This isn’t really a shopping mall. It’s a popular department store with a separate food court.

I really like their variety of frozen food and bentos.

The play zone for kids is great. Excellent place to go when it's really wet or really hot out. Otherwise there are bigger and better Aeon malls nearby, like the one near Yono-Honmachi.

Home to, in my opinion, Saitama's best charged play centre for preschoolers. Kidzoona is on the 3rd floor. Also, has a pet shop that allows you hold the dogs. Aeon has a few free play tables that are free. A full fun day out for families with small children.
