Two Dallas shopping hubs, Galleria Dallas and Grapevine Mills, have been named among the top 10 best malls in the US by USA Today’s 10Best report. Galleria Dallas took the No. 3 spot, while Grapevine Mills secured the No. 8 position. The local malls are recognized for elevating the shopping experience with unique features such as indoor ice rinks, art collections, and entertainment options.
Galleria Dallas is described as a traditional mall with a twist, featuring an indoor ice rink that attracts visitors during the holiday season. Locals know about the giant Christmas tree that becomes a central focus during this time of year. The shopping center is also set to open its first US location for Netflix House, a new entertainment and dining concept.
Grapevine Mills boasts an impressive array of attractions, including a Meow Wolf art experience, Sea Life aquarium, Legoland Discovery Center, and a Peppa Pig play area. Other amenities include an “Escape” room, bowling alley, and more. This recognition solidifies Grapevine Mills as a top shopping destination in the US.
The report highlights the importance of creating unique experiences to keep customers engaged and coming back for more. As some older malls struggle to maintain foot traffic, these Dallas hubs demonstrate that innovative approaches can make all the difference.
