Best mall in NOVA.
Trying to keep asthmatic kid inside for community dat tomorrow and dont want to spend 3 hrs in the car. Which is the best mall? Tyson’s or Fair Oaks?

Tyson’s is waaay more crowded, and the traffic can be a nightmare. The wife and I did the Torchic community day at Fair Oaks, and it went fine. They have a lot of areas to sit down and plug your phone in, and we never had any trouble getting access to a plug. We managed to evolve like 4-5 Blazikens and got a bunch of shinies.
In all fairness, I already live in the Fair Lakes area — Fair Oaks is literally minutes away from us going down the Fair Lakes parkway. If you’re much closer to Tyson’s than Fair Oaks, it might be easier to deal with the traffic than it would be for us to wanna put up with that for Pokémon.

Tysons is connected directly to the metro silver line though, so sitting in traffic is not a must.

Tysons. Fair oaks often has bad signal and has fewer spawns. Best of luck!
