INSIDE Abandoned Fiesta Mall

  • Fiesta Mall opened on October 3, 1979 and closed on January 27, 2018. It has been vacant ever since. Plans for the empty building included converting it into everything from an educational campus, a medical facility, and a senior center. However, none of these have come to fruition.
    We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore this abandoned mall a few months back when we shot this video. It was an amazing experience! In parts of the video you can hear an alarm going off (We did NOT set it off! It’s been going off for a long time, I heard it from the outside over a year ago when I went to shoot pics of the exterior). Otherwise the mall was eerily quiet. It now sits vacant, completely locked and boarded up, and is patrolled by security. There are a lot of still photos on our FB page if you’re interested in checking them out!

    I'm shocked you were able to gain access. It's been closed for a few years now. I'm glad to see that it hasn't been completely vandalized inside. The leaking water isn't good tho, if left unrepaired it'll only get worse.

    I remember when the mall was built. I remember the grand opening and how packed it was. My childhood was spent quite a bit hanging out at Fiesta Mall. I will always cherish this place. Time is a bandit. I would NEVER have thought it would end up like this.

      Malls all over the country are slowly becoming extinct unfortunately.
      You can thank the Internet for this. On-line shopping thanks mainly to Amazon and Walmart.

    When I was a kid (5th-8th grade) I use to live close to Fiesta Mall back in the late 70's and early 80's. In fact, I remember passing by the area while the mall was still being constructed. Once it was built, It had an arcade, cool novelty shops, a movie theater and I took piano lessons there. Me and my school buddies spent a lot of time there. Like, every other day we were at Fiesta Mall. We even watched a popular local DJ (Jonathon Brandmeier) perform a live concert there just before he took his DJ act to Chicago. I live in Dallas, TX now, and it's sad to see Fiesta Mall in the condition that it's currently in. It's like, a portion of my childhood went with it.

    Fiesta Mall was such a huge part of my childhood and teen years in the '80s. The various ideas that have been floated about keeping the building intact and repurposing it have been great, but we all know they'll end up tearing it down in the end and building high end condos and shops on the land. So it goes. 😥

    This is so cool! Have some memories going to that mall. I always wondered if there were squatters in it now. Shame to see the building just abandoned in the middle of Mesa in a pretty good area.

      Imagine going in there like this in the wee hours and some squatter popped out from somewhere. Wouldn’t that just scare the living piss out of anyone?!

      @abandonedaz5952  Год назад

      This video was shot almost a year ago; from what I’ve heard, vandals have trashed the place since then. I think the sound is a security alarm. I had been over there several months before this video was shot, and could actually hear it from the outside!

      We were granted access, but that is no longer a possibility thanks to squatters and vandals breaking in and destroying property. IDK why people have to be such destructive idiots! It is still boarded up, and now has security patrol from what I hear.
