    High end shopping with a great atmosphere. If you're lucky, you may be able to sneak a peek of celebs like Beyonce, Slim Thug and Paul Wall... They frequent the mall, along with other Houston celebs.

    Although I rarely buy anything at the shops, it is fun to walk around the Galleria and to go ice skating. The Christmas Tree lighting ceremony is very pretty.

    Be realistic on what you can afford and what you should buy so you won't waste your time walking all over the Galleria! Most variety in Houston!

    For international tourists the sales tax can be refunded at Tax Free Texas (taxfreetexas.com) on ice rink level. You get half the sales taxes back on purchase at participating retailers.

    Top shopping mall in Houston, nice looking and all necessary shops in. Caramelised nuts sell at the Center kiosks are really nice.

    Miles of shopping await you at The Galleria. There's multiple parking garages, so make sure you note where you've parked. Also, grab a pair of skates and hit the ice on a hot day for a cool treat.

    Best mall in Houston but it can be very crowded especially on weekends and during the Holidays. The annual Christmas tree lighting there is a great Holiday tradition.

    I bought a Sony All In One 24" with i7 and 8GB Ram, 2 TB. I found Rosauro Del Rosario, the salesman, to be very helpful. He even carried the computer to my car in the parking garage.

    HUGE mall, not very organized nor spacious tho. Everything feels scattered around and Neiman’s looks really dusty. Staying at the Westin was super convenient for shopping.

    HUGE! Go to the second level parking garage (green)! Take picture of your location when you get INTO mall!! Very confusing if not. Way too many high end stores (which may be the draw).

    It's a huge mall, and difficult to find your way around it. Mall directories aren't as abundant as they should be.

    Everything from CH Carolina Herrera to Charlotte Russe is housed in one location in Texas: the fabulously large and opulent Houston Galleria. It’s easy to get immersed in shopping all day there!

    Make sure to look at a map, or else you will get lost, especially if a first timer. Very crowded on weekends, but crowded all of the time.

    If you visit Houston, this is the best fashion mall for shopping, and the second place on my top three of favorite malls list in USA.

    Don't go ice skating. You'll get blisters no matter what size skate you wear and the shoes are so hard you can't move your ankles. I should know. My skin peeled after fifteen minutes.

    Enjoy an afternoon at the Galleria during the week if possible, it gets crowded on nights and weekends, but the Cheesecake Factory is a great option to restock all the calories burned shopping!

    You can park in-between borders & saks for good parking spots. Just go up the ramp then take a left @ the stop sign then your first right. Go past handicap parking take left, should be parking.

    If youre in the Macy's/Nordstrom garage, the fastest way out is to take either the odd levels or the even levels, not both. Go all the way to the end and you can miss a lot of traffic.
