I'm not a shopper, but I found the Galleria a good way to pass some time between family events. My hubby and I went specifically to go to the Peter Lik gallery. The gallery was amazing. The mall is a mall. Two things that make it different from all the others - size and ice skating. There are some very... More

I came to Houston for one day and decided to visit this famous mall. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a waste of time. Well, probably there are a lot of stores. But as for other entertainment, the mall is not so impressive. Comparing it with Dallas Galleria, Houston looses in decorations and in variety of restaurants. And wifi worked... More

Hands down, the largest mall I've ever been to! Wear comfortable shoes and be well rested. The ice skating ring in the heart of the mall was a nice feature. We spent several minutes just watching the skaters.

It's big, it's nice, but when it gets right down to it The Galleria is huge, overpriced mall with a pretty near indoor ice skating rink. I really didn't see any need for someone from out of town to go there, unless they desperately want to go ice skating. Most of the stores are the same stores I've seen in... More

During a recent visit to Houston on business I stopped in with a colleague to do some shopping and really enjoyed our time at the Galleria. They have ALL the boutiques you can think of along with great anchor stores, had lunch at Neiman's cafe, which was excellent, walked over to Tiffany's and into the mall. Indoor ice skating adds...

Great shopping and restaraunt venue, very expensive only for the upmarket. All top names are there/ There are bettter shopping places on Houston if looking for reasonably priced goods.

I was in Houston for the OTC and decided to visit the biggest mall. Quite impressive but I guess having been at The Dubai mall I was not blown away. Major name brands were there and environment was quite pleasant.

I visited The Galleria with my mum when visiting Houston. We decided to spend a day there, thinking that would be long enough to explore the shops. How wrong we were! On day 1, we didn't even come close to visiting half of the shops within the centre. We returned on our last day and visited a few more but... More

If 'power' shopping and seeing the maximum variety in one location is your ticket... This is the largest shopping facility I have ever visited. With the range starting at the designer end with Neiman Marcus and the Chanel boutique, and then it winds slowly down to the 'it was a bargain' sector. Truly something for everyone. The restaurants range from... More

Prices are high, although virtually any store of any stature at all can be found within the confines of this beautiful facility. Parking is adequate and very close to all the stores because of it being a ramp.
