As I stepped into the Travel Expo, I felt an immediate rush of excitement. There were vendors from around the globe. The layout of the expo was intelligently designed, with each section dedicated to different regions of the world. There were snack stations and bar set ups to satisfy our guilty pleasures of eating and drinking I had the luxury of attending this event for free and can't wait until the next. The check in process was quick and easy! read more

Dallas Market Center hosts great trade shows. It's not as large as the Las Vegas or New York markets, but it's centrally located and it's easily accessed off a major highway in Dallas. The interior of the building is an open concept that flows down to a fountain area. The first floor is open to the public with a cafe and Starbucks. You will need to register as a buyer or be a guest of a showroom. The layout is nicely done. Each floor has a theme such as a jewelry, kids, women fashion, shoes etc. All the showroom staff and owners are friendly. Some of the showrooms even offer samples to take back to your own store. Unfortunately, the pandemic did take a toll on this place and you will see a lot of empty showrooms. I'm hoping 2022 will see all the showrooms come back to it's former glory. Do yourself a favor and check out the Events Calendar on the DMC website and come out for some fun! read more

Largest privately owned exhibition hall featuring tall ceilings ideally suited to staging a convention. Market Hall features a main hall and several smaller halls. These halls can be used individually, jointly for one giant show, or can be further divided to serve a variety of needs at one time.

Entrance is $6 for the exhibition. Marketplace has become an essential part of business for jewelry stores, jewelry maker's and jewelry lover's for half a century! Forget retail, shop directly from manufacturers, wholesalers & designers for the largest selection at the lowest possible prices.

My first visit to the Dallas Market Center and overall it was a great experience. The center is located right off of interstate 35 close to downtown Dallas. I was visiting for the Half Price Books clearance event. The center has its own private free parking lot which made it easy to navigate and park. My only complaint was there should have been more signs to direct the customers on which entrance to enter. There are 2 main entrances and the rooms do not inter-connect. I was in the wrong area so I had to walk out and walk all the way around the building to the other entrance. Once inside, HPB did an excellent job of organizing all the books, DVDs and Music into sections. The aisles were easy to navigate down and the check out was seamless. I would love to come back and visit soon for another event. read more

Horribly managed. They close multiple entrances without notifying any rideshare or navigation platforms and are rude to rideshare drivers when we ask where to go. They could easily use both entrances or out a sign up telling riders at the ridershare pick station to tell their drivers where to enter so at least they know before driving all over the world trying to find it. read more

Dallas Market Center is THE place to hold or attend huge expos, conventions, festivals, etc. Almost every weekend, this place is hustlin' and bustlin' with some sort of show to fit a different lifestyle. Almost anything and everything has had an event here. Remodeling or building a home and need to look at samples? Then come to one of the many home and garden shows during the year. Did you just get engaged? Then the bridal fair is your bag. Or for the manly men, the boat show will tickle for fancy for speedy watercrafts. This weekend, I hear there's a women's expo in town. Makeup and jewelry time, ladies! If you've got a soft spot for free samples, then you *definitely* will want to come out here when a show is in town. Just like a Costco on a Saturday, vendors are out here handing out freebies...I've seen raffles, food, demonstrations and all kinds of sweet deals out here. The space is huge and open, lots of natural light, and hey...the bathrooms are even clean! Do I sound like a commercial for DMC yet? :) read more

Dallas Market Center - Photo from http://dallasmarketcenter.com/ - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pros: It's only a 6 hour drive for me to get there instead of dealing with the horror of air travel that would be required for me to attend Atlanta or Las Vegas. Hotels are significantly cheaper in Dallas than Atlanta. People are friendlier in Dallas than Atlanta and Las Vegas. The showrooms that are open are mostly clean, organized, well staffed and professional. There are, of course, exceptions, which is to be expected in a venue this large. Most of the fellow shoppers are courteous and well behaved. The parking is free. Cons: The biggest one is limited selection in some major categories, most notable garden. Also, apparel and accessories tend to skew toward the Texas look, which is understandable considering its location, but not great for those of us buying for a nationwide audience. As a result, Dallas is NOT one stop shopping for me. Food and beverage choices are not great for non-coffee drinking vegetarians. Some exhibitors in the temporary exhibits need to be coached on professionalism or removed from the market. It's 2016. Talking down to women isn't acceptable any more and some of us never thought it was cute. Overall, totally worth the trip and a great resource. I'm concerned that a number of lines I normally buy from have pulled out of Dallas.I hope that's a trend that can be reversed soon. Perhaps lower rent or more frequent markets would help exhibitors offset the expense. read more

Absolutely ridiculous. We've had a booth at the temporaries for years now and we've always need sunday to monday to set up. We get here today, monday, since they said we cant come sunday, to come to find out we cant start setting up till 1 in the afternoon?!?! are you kidding we will be here all night. They gave us no reason why and just completely screwed everyone with a booths day. The show is tomorrow morning and theres no way we can make it. This is horrible costumer service considering we are paying THOUSANDS a year for this bullshit. every year they make this harder and harder. worst experience for a show ever. i would give it 0 stars if i could. read more

Overwhelming experience for the first time. Wanted to buy everything and lost track that I needed kids clothes lol..... Overall the people at the market was super nice. There were a few kids store that were sadly rise but maybe they are from LA it's expected. This place truly has everything you need and then some. read more

Taste of Dallas event was a good experience. It's a good mix of neighborhood tastes from local foodie hotspots to different whisky companies offering samples. Some of our favorites were the empanadas, and the asian creations. The event was decently organized and they had plenty of staff to help guide you along your experience. It was nice to be able to try all the different selections of food in one place and the whisky samples were a fun experience. I recommend this event to everyone. read more

For a Market - it's logically organized (compared to others) for the buyer to navigate and the showrooms are beautiful. Ease of access to/from airports and hotels. From ease of registration, badges, the miles of trekking within, organized bus transportation to/from host hotels, along with Starbucks and restaurants to partake in - great place and worth ones time. The only 3 things that could be improved upon: 1). I found It pretty odd and I'm sorry, disgusting ...that few buyers brought their little toy dogs to market and let them roam around like its a park... Oy vey... 2). The glass elevators were pretty, but totally useless.. 3). I've been to many Markets across the U.S. - it would be extremely beneficial to the Buyers if each showroom provided a handout of the lines carried, terms, ++. This would allow your clients to hit and ground running and maximize what they're there to do (along with having a hard copy for future reference and ease of repeat orders) read more

The parking lot is...kind of odd. The spaces are REALLY tight, so don't drive your big SUV, k? As a result, oftentimes people take up two spots, either on purpose or due to terrible parking skills. once you are inside, the venue is good for conventions. Bathrooms are clean, if not exactly well-signed to find at a distance. There is always a food vendor that has good food available and bottled water. Wear comfy shoes, because that floor is murder with all that walking! The AC has a really hard time keeping up with crowds, even with moderately warm weather, let alone Texas summer heat. So dress comfortably and cool and bring water. I love the variety of trade shows they have here. read more

I was here for the fabric trade show. It was a great experience and I made many new contacts. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes, because there is lots of walking. All the shops have very courteous people. And if you are there during a special event there is usually free food and drinks. read more

I have a showroom in highpoint Las Vegas and Atlanta as well as Dallas. Dallas by measure has the poorest management of the group. I have been in the building about 8 years with hope that things would change for the better and have not. The facade that the management puts on with there social media and new interior design wing are just late and desperate attempts to revamp a market that needed work years ago. They show the new tenants coming in with a ribbon cutting but they don't show the massive vacancy left by long time tenants within! The management may have woken up slightly lately but too little too late. They are out of touch people who probably never owned there own business, they've operated in a manor in which the tenant is property in there lease till the lease is up or voided till they find a new tenant. They just want to fill up the place without any tact or class. Thank you Dallas but I'm gone. read more
