For shoppers looking for a mall experience, each of the major cities in Texas offer at least two mall options. Some malls, like the Galleria in Dallas are home to upscale shops and restaurants. And, when youre ready for a break from the shopping, both the Dallas Galleria and the Houston Galleria have ice rinks located inside, allowing shoppers to drop their bags and skate or just relax while watching others make figure-eights on the ice.
The Mills malls are also popular among shoppers in the Lone Star State. Grapevine Mills, located a short drive from Dallas, and Katy Mills, just outside of Houston, offer dozens of specialty shops most of which arent included in other malls or strip centers. And, dont forget one of the most unique malls in Texas, San Antonios Rivercenter Mall, which offers a wide array of shops and restaurants, as well as an IMAX theater all situated on San Antonios famous Riverwalk.
If malls arent big enough to satisfy your shopping needs, try visiting either the Houston or Dallas Traders Village locations. Promising good deals in a state fair atmosphere, Traders Village is a combination of entertainment, dining and shopping all in one location. Other large-scale shopping options include outlet centers, such as those in San Marcos and Conroe.
Of course, not all of the shopping options in Texas are located in major cities or large malls. Small towns such as Wimberley, Fredericksburg, and Lewisville have unique shops, restaurants, art galleries and more to satisfy your shopping needs.
In short, whether your shopping aspirations are big or small, you can find what youre looking for somewhere in Texas.
