I see that my last review was from 2017 so it is time for an update. We went to the Galleria in August 2026 and it had been a long time since we were at this mall, about seven years. This time, we stayed at a nearby hotel and walked into the Galleria so we did not have to deal with traffic and parking. The last time we were here, our impression was that the mall was mainly upscale, expensive stores. In 2026, there are a lot more moderately priced stores that are intended not to be so exclusive. After walking around for a while, our main activity was for the kid to do ice skating. It is basically $20 for unlimited skating, although it has to be continuous. You can't leave and come back. The price includes skates but you have to buy socks if you did not bring any. She was not very good at skating to begin but got better and better as time went on. We were there about 1.5 hours and that was enough. The activity seems to be attractive for kids, teens, and even adults. There were even a few people who seemed professional level. The kid begged us to do skating again the next day so she obviously enjoyed it. read more

What an awesome mall.. coming here for the first time, and I was blown away with the number of shops and the variety of shopping experience in this mall . Parking was a bit confusing. I wish there was help in the parking lots. We initially thought the parking was outside Westin Galleria, but figured out that there were parking on the other side for the mall... good thing is the parking is free.. There's also a huge hotel right within the mall... there was also a skating rink, but in the mall and lots of them are enjoying their skates.. Name the brand and you have it here.. lots and lots and lots of shopping to do. Also Starbucks, juice, shops, and other places to eat within this mall. There was some work going on with escalators and had to walk around for other options... great location and convenient for anyone visiting Dallas.. slightly pricey with most shops.. worth the walk and time well spent here.. 4 stars .. read more

The variety of stores is absolutely amazing. It ranges from clothing to home goods to ice skating for the kids, so there's a little bit of everything for everyone. If you have kids or are nursing they have two family bathrooms with small toilets for the kiddos and a nursing room with white noise going and they're both absolutely clean. The kind ladies by the maps are so very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Well deserved update. My last review was in 2017 and the place was in a nose dive. After 25+ years they undertook a remodel which added a lot of new archetecual features like new planters with palms,ice rink remodel etc. but 25 years after that it needed a major freshening up and they did. Not only does the mall cosmetically look better but a fresh mix of small shops adds to a new vibrant feel. I'm really glad they took action and even more happy I noticed it. I'll visit more often and you should too... Go! read more

My family and I decided to go to the Galleria Mall. This mall is very big with several levels of stores to shop in and food options to choose from. There is an ice skating rink in the middle of the Mall. It was cool to see different people skating around. While we were there we visited the Netflix House, shopped at Hot Topic, browsed other stores, and lastly we ate at North Italia Restaurant. Overall this mall is a good option for walking, ice skating, browsing, shopping, and eating. read more

Physically? This mall is much improved! They definitely have changed recently, and the store selection is also very good. I got the jeans I needed for my outing next weekend, and the food court was actually really good. Glad I decided to come back here and try it out again. My wife appreciates the stores too and atmosphere. Great job whoever was in charge of the remodeling! read more

There is a wide selection of stores/brands you love, the space is pretty cool and easy to navigate, high end retail, and high level service from retailers. Pricey for the most part but that's luxury retail! read more

This mall is so nice!! I was staying nearby and ended up visiting a couple of times. Malls around where I live are not that nice or elaborate, so it was pretty surprising to see how much the Galleria had to offer. There's multiple floors here, so you could almost spend an entire day if you wanted to. Many food options, shops (from standard to high end,) and even a skating rink in the center! There are also hotels connected and nearby. If you are a shopper and are visiting Dallas, you'll probably love this mall! read more

Ok first time at the Galleria in Dallas! It is huge like the galleria in Houston, but I feel that it wasn't too much to find today. I do like how they have security and management throughout the mall. They are very helpful and nice. They have good store selections to choose from. They have high end and basic stores to buy from. It's many levels at this mall so get your walking shoes ready. The parking can get busy and super packed! I love the skating rink and the entertainment of it! read more

Designed by Gyo Obata (same designers as The Galleria), this mall left me unimpressed. I thought it would be very comparable to Galleria Houston but not so. This mall lacks character IMO. It is just a big mall. No centrally located food court. Instead they have food options sprinkled around everywhere. The main reason people love food courts is because everyone can choose something different but still sit together. Multiple parking garages. Anchor stores Old Navy/Banana Republic/GAP and Macy's are great. About 215 stores including some luxury stores. I love Dallas in general but would love to see some renovations to this 40yr old mall. read more

First time at the Galleria and it was a lot to take in. This place is so big and there's so much to do. They have an ice rink at the lower level, which has some restaurants. The 2nd-4th floor has the shops and other restaurants as well. I like how their food court is not overly busy with food choices and there are other eating options in other parts of the mall. It looks like they're going to open soon with the Netflix experience, so I can't wait for that. Overall, a really nice place to check out. Plus, they do have some Haagen-Dazs if you wanna walk around and eat ice cream. read more

Took my nieces for a "girls' afternoon" shopping trip, and Galleria ended up being a great pick! The mall is clean, bright, and thankfully not overly crowded. I even noticed they still have those old-school mall guides...which came in handy. It's three levels of shopping, with a good mix of staple stores (Nordstrom, Macy's, Abercrombie, Banana Republic, H&M, Zara, Sephora, etc.) and some fun finds sprinkled in. I'm not much of a mall person these days--like many people, I tend to do my shopping online--but when you need to try things on or just want the in-person experience, this is a nice option. Plus, there's an ice skating rink on the main level, very cool!! Parking was crowded but manageable. We lucked out and found a spot up front right away. Also appreciated that we could grab a bite to eat just by stepping outside the main entrance. There's plenty of restaurants nearby for when your shopping bags are full and your energy's low. Bonus: Got my steps in for the day, so it's basically wellness, right? Retail therapy = Happy Shopping! read more

Second time back and this time was for holiday shopping. Getting into the parking lot would have been a nightmare if it weren't for the traffic directors and valets assisting the drivers. Upon entry, you see why this is one the largest and most popular malls in the country!! Side note: they recently added a Netflix experience in the mall (not featured in this post) that I highly recommend trying out. They have everything. And they still have their famous ice rink, note with a massive Christmas tree in the middle. As it is the holidays, value is subjective. Things were marked up for the occasion, but there were some high value sales. Service worth noting, a young lady who worked at Urban Planet with a strong New Jersey accent was exemplary. The debit card system had crashed and she helped me and other customers to an ATM, held my selections until I came back (and I was gone for hours because I ended up stopping at other stores) and had my items all ready for me. Top notch. read more

I have watched the Dallas Galleria Mall change through the years. It's still quite good, but nothing like it was even five years ago. There are some areas where space isn't leased. Now, I know many malls are struggling. The way we shop has changed so much over the years. And when you consider everything happening, it's still a really good mall to find both high-end shops and affordable shops. The newest shop at the Galleria that's bringing in a lot of business is the Pop Mart shop on the top level. It's near the skating rink area. read more

The galleria is a two story mall in Dallas. It has all of your favorite stores Nordstrom, Abercrombie, banana republic, and much more. Parking is pretty manageable but it can get packed here on weekends. There are a couple of decent places to eat. A great place to spend the day for some retail therapy. read more

Oh, you want a scathing review? Alright, here we go: --- **The Galleria Dallas: A Monument to Disappointment** I don't know if I've ever felt more let down by a shopping mall in my life. The Galleria Dallas is the equivalent of that one friend who promises you the world, but then shows up late, eats all your snacks, and leaves early, leaving you with nothing but regret. Let's start with the parking situation. If you want to spend your day circling around like a vulture trying to find a spot, be my guest. And when you do, be prepared for the lovely experience of paying a premium for the privilege of parking in a place that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in decades. So, great, I'm already annoyed and I haven't even stepped inside yet. Once you enter the Galleria, it's like you've been transported to some alternate dimension where nothing makes sense. The design of the mall? A confusing labyrinth of overpriced stores that all feel eerily the same. Is it high-end luxury or a cheap imitation of luxury? It's honestly hard to tell, and frankly, I don't care anymore. Who knew you could feel both claustrophobic and overwhelmed by a mall? The food court is a whole other level of disaster. You can get everything from fast food that tastes like it's been sitting under a heat lamp for a century, to overpriced, bland "gourmet" options that make you question all of your life choices. And don't even get me started on the seating. There's barely enough room for your legs, let alone for you to enjoy whatever mess of a meal you've just handed over your hard-earned cash for. Oh, and the ice rink. It's touted as a "unique feature" of the Galleria, but it's a sad, underwhelming afterthought. A once-promising attraction, it now feels more like a reminder of just how out of touch this mall is with what people actually want. And God forbid you try to get any customer service. The employees? A mix of indifferent teenagers on their phones, middle-aged managers who don't know what's going on, and a general air of "we don't care, but thanks for the money." In conclusion, the Galleria Dallas is like the mall version of a bad blind date. It looks good on paper, but it's a soul-sucking experience that'll leave you counting down the seconds until you can leave. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Anywhere else. GO TO THE VALLEY VIEW CENTER read more

Good enough mall! Pretty artwork, decent store selection, but not the best food selection (and minimal vegan options).

Mall in the center of dallas with many stores and restaurants, and a nice skating rink that was decorated for lunar new year. Prices are like any other large mall in a city. Parking is free with garages and lots around the entire perimeter of the mall. Selection of clothes and other things is great. The mall is super clean too. read more

This is a very nice mall with plenty of hi-end stores, as well as popular stores, such as Macy's. It's attached to the Westin Dallas Galleria hotel, which is very nice for those staying at the Westin, as you can enter directly from the lobby. I quickly visited a couple of places in the mall recently while staying at the hotel, it was nice. If I had more spare time, I would have walked more of the mall. read more

This mall is SO BIG. So many options food and shopping. And an ice skating rink. If you're ever in the Dallas area give this mall a try, you will not be disappointed read more

Got stuck in their elevator (near old navy) on 3rd floor yesterday. We had 2 infants with us. The emergency call button wasn't helpful. Nobody answered. Only a machine did and you could barely hear what it was saying'. The alarm button wasn't helpful either. The elevator is located the end of building at a corner next to Old Navy. There are barely any people passing by there on a Tuesday evening. Apparently it is Old Navy's elevator. We were stuck there for 15-20 minutes. It was getting hot in there with 6 adults and 2 infants. We only got a hold of someone after googling and calling Galleria's security number. Apparently that emergency really did not alert anyone at all and that elevator constantly has issues. Wow. 3 is the adults in that elevator didn't have cellphone coverage (tourists). What if they get someone stuck in there with no way to contact outside and their emergency call button isn't even working?! One mother has anxiety and remained anxious and shaking even an hour after the incident. As much Old navy should be responsible for this problem, Galleria could do better in making their tenants accountable for the safety of the people in their building. read more

This is probably one of my favorite malls nearby. It's a good mixed crowd. Being from LA, I just feel more comfortable around diverse crowds. The mall offers the typical stores, such as f21, Nordstrom, Auntie Anne's, etc. It has a decent selection of restaurant choices around (Grand Lux, Thai, Canes, Sbarro, It's not the most bougie mall, but it's perfect for the average Joe or Jane. My favorite part about this place is the kid place. My toddler loves it there. It does get annoying when big kids play there and RUN/JUMP carelessly into the babies/toddlers/small kids. The number for security is posted if needed. I have seen security come in and clear out the big kids and all the eating/drinking patrons. read more

Nice mall. Specifically went to the Nordstrom location but walked the Mall for a bit. I think its awesome there's a Skating Rink inside...and found it nice to see how many people were skating. Super cool... read more

We visited this mall our first and second day in Dallas. Here is our thoughts: Parking: 8/10 Our hotel was directly across the street from the mall, so we are not sure what the parking is like. Previous Yelp! reviews are mixed on this, but we did notice the stalls were pretty tight and small. It definitely did not look like it would accommodate larger vehicles, which isn't great. Store variety: 9/10 The mall has a great variety - a little something for everyone. Some highlights included H&M, Claire's, LV, Gucci, Banana Republic, Macy's Nordstrom, and Guess (hello memory lane!) Macy's had an awesome selection of clothing and the customer service was decent. Express had a super sale because they were closing the store, but they were severely picked over. I loved the Dallas themed stores and the kids entertainment, which happened to be a puppet show. I also appreciated the play equipment being cleaned. The ice skating rink was a nice touch, but we were not sure how much it cost to skate. I also loved how diverse the crowds and employees were! Food Court: 9/10 They had a decent selection but the layout makes it to where it can get crowded very quickly. There was more variety and options to choose from including Hagen Daas, Grand Luxe Cafe, Raising Canes, and Thai food. 8.6/10 Overall, it we had a great time and we enjoyed the multiple floors and variety of options to choose from. We also loved the diversity among the crowds and employees. We look forward to returning when we visit Dallas again! read more

I'm not a fan of shopping or going to malls but when your hotel is connecting to the mall go to the mall. What can you do here...shop, eat and ice skate...YES they have an ice skating rink in the mall. I'll stop there, not much else to say about the service or the value that's all up to you and the stores you visit. read more

Someone broke into my car here! I was upset. I came in, went into a store or two - when I had came back, my window was shattered out. I was upset about it. The security people were not helpful at all. Now I'm forced to get a lawyer to get the videos. The parking here completely sucks. The stores are alright but again just watch your cars I guess. read more

Great mall w LOTS of awesome shops!!! Their parking garage is SLIGHTLY confusing and More than a little haphazard, but once you get I TO the mall it's Great!!! They even have an Ice Rink inside that runs all year I Believe which is Awesome!!! I SO want to try this next time I'm in Town!!! They don't have as many eateries as I would have expected for a mall of this size, but the ones they Do have are pretty quality; they even have a decent express Thai place - even tho there were ZERO Thai's (or even Asians) working there??? Lol I made purchases at this CUTE little handmade card place called Papyrus, as well as a gift from unique jewelry shop called Bearfruit. Galleria Dallas is a great mall to either get ur steps in, just peruse around leisurely and enjoy some nice sites, or do some serious shopping. Definitely make it one of your stops next time ur in Dallas!! read more

Please add more bathrooms! read more

All things considered, yes I recommend the Galleria. I don't personally enjoy driving to Dallas though LOL! But Galleria Dallas has ample parking spaces and a huge amount of shopping stores. Plus food! This past visit to Galleria Dallas was to attend the Snowday Pop! Event. My girl friend and I had bought our tickets beforehand, but they are also available on-site I believe. This particular exhibit has since closed; however, they are opening a Christmas-themed Snowday! I cannot wait to see everyone's pictures from it when it opens for the holidays. read more

It is not what it used to be 40 years ago. Watched the eclipse from here. My wife and I used to love to come here, walk around, window shop, eat lunch or supper read more

Whew! I have not been to the Galleria in years and my visit today reminded why I stopped going. It's crazy crowded, the skylights make it unbelievably hot in the summer, and the quality of stores has declined (compared to back in the day). I might visit to see the pretty tree at Christmas but that's about it. Why do people even go here? We have plenty of other options in the area! read more

We had a blast while shopping at an indoor mall while it's 40 degrees burning heat outside(typical Texas summer) and got to explore this enormous market. Parking is convenient yet crowded, glad they have different color markings in a multilevel garage. The outlying figure kind of reminds me of Southcenter in Tukwila, Seattle. Only north side is a bit confusing. Food court is on the top level of the mall, with a variety of restaurant. Typical brands like Vans, Nike, LV & Gucci are usually not far from the epicenter. My favorite is the rink where I can skate in the ice, even though it's a bit overpriced. Heard they have a giant tree light show during Christmas. Well, only if I plan to visit Dallas again, that's for sure. read more

Very nice selection of stores. My whole family shopped here and there was something for each of us. 3 levels. There's an ice skating rink on the first level. Food court is on the third. Again, great selection of places to eat. Loved that there was a Thai restaurant because I don't eat a lot of meat and they had quite a few vegetable dishes. Realized that we spent 5 hours here but only after we left! read more

From ice skating Christmas traditions around the tallest indoor tree to girlfriend staycations at The Westin, the Galleria has always been way more than a shopping mall to me. It's a Dallas staple. I visited the 80's fashion exhibit, "She's Got the Look" today and loved the mini escape into the land of Oscar de la Renta and 80's music and fashion. This will be open for a few days and is free! Pictured are special moments from my visits at the Galleria. So much nostalgia! read more

The parking situation here is the worst in the US. It takes 30 minutes to exit the parking lot. We are new to Dallas. This is worse than Houston. Not worth going here on the weekend EVER. There is nothing you need here to endure the pain of this place. It is a logistical nightmare. The parking here is worse than leaving a concert venue! read more
