The Galleria is not to be missed if you love to shop at premier department stores and/or fancy specialty shops. It is located at the intersection of the LBJ Freeway (635) and Dallas Parkway (Tollway) in North Dallas.
The Galleria has over 200 stores and dozens of restaurants on 3 levels, and a well-heeled clientele. It has an open architecture that is highlighted by a public ice skating rink at the main intersection of the mall.
Anchor stores include Macy's, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and a Westin Hotel (shopping vacation?). They have many other well-known and little-known shops selling mens, womens and/or childrens apparel, accessories, art, cosmetics, eyewear, electronics, gifts, jewelry, luggage, music, shoes, sporting goods, toys, etc.
During the holiday season, they have a HUGE and beautiful Christmas Tree prominently displayed in the middle of the ice skating rink.
We had no trouble parking in the Galleria parking garage even on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. They also have valet parking available (complementary for the handicapped).

Bring comfortable shoes and lots of money.
