Ok, hear me out. Northpark Mall for shopping- it's dizzying and impractical for most items…read more Northpark Mall, however, is the perfect place to go for a couple hours of amusement and marveling at how the 1% must live. There are additionally some worthwhile dining, music, and artistic opportunities to enjoy. I personally love to play "guess how much this costs?", from an $8000 rug at "Design Within Reach" (though certainly not within budget) to $40,000-$100,000+ pens at Mount Blanc. (Nothing in that store at all has a price tag on it, and you know things are wild when you have to inquire!) This game will keep you amused and flabbergasted throughout your mall exploration. There are additional joys to uncover like live musicians, special events throughout the year (like a gingerbread village at Christmas time), and permanent + rotating artwork. Today I saw a real piece by Jean Dubuffet (on loan from Nasher Sculpture center), a mixed media unicorn, and this super neat rainbow light piece I snapped some pictures of (that actually had a deeper and heavier meaning; wish I documented the artist's name). The mall is perfect for people watching, getting a walk in on excruciatingly hot summer days or when it's raining, and just generally finding random fancy shops to explore. I recommend a visit as a fun date idea, for reasons above, not for the shopping experience. For $5 dollars, I got some actually incredible crackers from Eately's grocery and a couple hours of great delight and enjoyment exploring with lovely company. Northpark Mall really is like a live and interactive museum of sorts showcasing the lives of the upper echelon of Dallas. It is generally very crowded on weekends and an absolute chaotic nightmare to try and visit on weekends in the month of December (avoid!!!!). I give the parking situation three stars because it is always difficult to park and exit this mall. Come with curiosity to this center and enjoy the wild window shopping experience. Note some stores (eg, LaLa Land and Lego Store) had long lines to even enter the store / order. All around recommend visiting, but for very unconventional reasons more akin to why you should visit a zoo or museum than why you ought to visit Costco or Target.

This review is based on the Pumpkin Patch at the CenterPark Garden in October 2025…read more According to the Community Partners of Dallas' website, they are "honored to again be the nonprofit beneficiary for a magical new project at NorthPark Center, the Pumpkin Patch!" "This gift to the local community will be interactive and encourage guests to capture photos, learn about the important work of Community Partners of Dallas, inspire charitable giving and make precious memories this Fall." The pumpkin patch featured multiple photo ops including the harvest house, candy corn tree, cornucopia, land of mums, gnome village, prince owl, fairytale library, harvest cart and the wishing well. There were lots of people milling about, waiting for their turn to take photos. However, it wasn't super crowded and there was still enough room to breathe and enjoy the scenery. This was a great family-friendly activity and fun way to make memories. There was no admission fee, making this a great alternative to the Dallas Arboretum. The mall itself was huge and offers and a variety of retail shops, restaurants and entertainment options. I uploaded more than 20 photos, so I hope they all post with this review.

Well deserved update. My last review was in 2017 and the place was in a nose dive. After 25+ years…read morethey 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!

My family and I decided to go to the Galleria Mall. This mall is very big with several levels of…read morestores 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.

Wow. I disnt even know these existed! But man am I glad I found them! Super nice outdoor shopping…read more Has parking garages so no need to fight over street parking unless you just want to *shrug*. I was actually relieved to realize that the shade of the garage was worth it in this heat. Every store I entered was tidy and well-stocked and laid out. Not sure if I was just there at a low traffic time or what, but it wasn't excessively crowded. Since the world shutdown, I hate crowds more and more so I appreciated that I could move around with being bumped into constantly. Will definitely keep this location at the top of my shopping mall list.

Well, my car club used to come here to eat and drink at Blatt Beer and Table, but we won't be back…read more Today, I parked my BMW on the highest floor of the garage. I did park diagonally across two spaces, but I made sure I had a full floor of empty spaces below me to not inconvenience anyone. The parking attendant, "James", informed me that this wasn't a "photo op" and that I could move my car or he would tow it. I pointed out the entire floor of empty spaces, politely, and mentioned that my car club came here weekly and parked like this and had never had a problem, and he told me that he didn't care and I would either move my car or he would tow it. Now I would've understood if the parking garage was full or even close, or maybe if there were even a single other car on that floor. But it wasn't and there wasn't. So, I'll take the 65 person BMW club and we'll host our meet somewhere else from now on. Too bad you lost our business over an empty floor on the parking garage. We'll make sure to steer away the rest of car culture from your establishment as well.

I have been waiting years for this shopping center to open. (In 2007 I heard about it opening but…read moreeverything was put on hold due to the economy.) Let me just say it was worth the wait. This shopping center has a Trader Joes, Orange Theory Fitness, the new Matchbox American Kitchen, Modmarket, a sushi place and an Italian ice cream place. There is a couple more places opening and they are building new luxury apartments. Can't wait for there is be a side walk to the condos behind the shopping center. It would allow the neighbors to walk down. While I'm completely biased I do believe that this shopping center is unique and an awesome addition to the area. This was an empty lot for so long and love to see the area building up. We desperately needed a grocery store like Trader Joes in the area. If you are in the area I definitely recommend stopping by the Preston Hollow Village!

I counted 4 people working when I walked in today and one other customer browsing. Not a single salesperson even acknowledged me despite making eye contact.

I asked if I could merely apply it to another item and was told I certainly could do that. I spent time locating something else which would have cost hundreds more and when I went to the store I was told NO they would not give me credit for the skirt even though it was BALLARD that was at fault for NEVER CALLING me about my order for 9 months. The store manager was quite rude and did not apologize for THEIR ERROR. I am a good customer and have ordered mirrors wallpaper paintings etc but was treated poorly. I will take my business elsewhere going forward! DO BETTER BALLARD

Pretty busy and large strip mall, which has a bunch of big box stores. The reason we usually come here is for Jazen Tea, which as you can see, is a place where Barbie likes to color-coordinate with her Boba shop, unlike me - I like to not so much color coordinate, because I suck at it. It can get a little annoyingly busy in this plaza, but it depends which time of day you mosey on down here.
