Economic status plays a major role in who has access to the higher-end stores or exclusive experiences like the theme park. The mall is designed as a luxury experience, and those with disposable income are more likely to fully experience what the mall offers. In terms of invisible costs, the financial pressure of the mall’s offerings may discourage lower-income groups.

The higher end side of the mall was very interesting and different from the rest of the mall. the other side was more family friendly; they had these animal bikes for kids to ride around on and strollers that families could rent that had built in tablets on them. while the higher end side was more laid back and fancy. There was no kid stuff, cool sculptures and more security.

There are definite social markers that become apparent in this space. Age, race, gender, and ability are also factors that can influence one's experience of the space. For example, certain high-end stores or experiences may not be as accessible to people from lower economic brackets or certain racial or ethnic groups, leading to social exclusion.
