Glendale Galleria

I come here from time to time, mostly because of the certain stores.
Its always been a huge place for me to orineted myself, but the views have always been a pleasure for my eyes)
But I cant understand why there are so few places to have food or just to sit?

I come here pretty often, and have been coming here for decades, and I like some of the current stores. But it’s incredibly annoying that there are so few places to sit around the mall. The Arcadia mall has done a great job by adding tons of seating. Sometimes you just need to rest your feet, or take a look through your purchases. I know there are people who sit down and never get up. But at Arcadia, after they added a bunch of seating, I think it changed people’s mentality — you don’t have to hog the seat anymore, because there are plenty around the mall.
Plus, the food court needs something new and good. The new Korean place is a great addition. Need more like that.
But I’m so glad for Uniqlo! That was a great get for the mall.

The Glendale Galleria, one of my favorite malls to go to growing up. It was a treat to come here since we didn’t live that close, but it was the biggest mall closest to us. Parking is a pain back then and it is still a pain, but that’s part of the fun here.
The layout of the mall isn’t a typical oval or a rectangular and some floors lead to dead ends. They have all the stores you would expect at a mall and adding the Americana was a great addition. I still come here a few times a year when I’m in the neighborhood and it always brings back great memories.

This is a very popular mall. Therefore, parking is a very unpopular subject. The mall itself has gone through extensive renovations, and isn’t the dark and outdated mall that you’ve probably visited in the past. The layout of the mall is retained, but every surface of the mall has either been repaved, re-​tiled, repainted, and simply redone in a modern fashion. And it works. I think it has attracted new businesses, new fast food joints, and heck, even a whole new mall (The Americana next door). Due to the sheer amount of people on any given weekend, it can get pretty crowded inside. The flow of foot traffic is somewhat stymied by the old bones of the original mall, and the flow of automobile traffic is just flat out clogged during peak shopping seasons.
There are more pros than cons with this mall though, as it’s still anchored by some big names, it’s pretty big, and has a few unique things going for it to appeal as a one-​stop shop. For one, parking is free (for now). Despite what seems to be a lack of free spaces, It’s actually efficient and easily navigable. Second, there’s a foot bridge to the Americana. Parking at the Americana is ultimately not free (restaurant validation, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch), which fortifies my first point. Lastly, it’s an actual mall– part of a dying breed of retail shopping places with a roof. You can shop in relative peace and comfort knowing you’re not going to be affected by weather going from Macy’s to the Apple store when it’s pouring rain or if it’s 105 degrees outside (latter more plausible, because, California). For developers and consumers alike, outdoor malls are simply the hot ticket right now.
Fun Wiki facts: A couple inaugural establishments in the Galleria– the first Disney Store, second Apple store (due to time-​zone difference), first Panda Express, and first 3-​story Target.

I don’t enjoy coming here anymore because the mall is becoming more cluttered with kiosks and the salespeople are too aggressive. They also scam you with overpriced items. I ended up being pressured to buy a garment steamer which they claim is excellent but I paid over $ 100 for two and I get home to find they’re very cheap items. It sputters and sprays saltwater all over my clothing and I can’t return the items because the fine print says all sales final. I’m so very disappointed that this mall tries to look so high end and is so jammed with rip-​offs, overly aggressive sales kiosks selling makeup, hair stuff and things like these cheap steamers. Buyer beware at the Glendale Galleria!

And this is why The Americana will always be looked at as high class even though it doesn’t have many good restaurants and the stores are mostly out of range for normal people. The Galleria has every store you can think of, has been recently remodeled after fighting for so long Against it, has plenty of food options BUT two stars isn’t for the individual stores but the common areas. C’mon! Monday morning 9:30 am the bathrooms are so filthy. In my pictures I cropped out the fact that toilet paper in the floor had #2 on it. And this is allegedly a family restroom. The kids play area is in some deserted corner (not that I really want to go there but if you’re going to have something, do it well. And the elevators. There’s always one not working. A good majority of people come with strollers or in wheelchairs. For the two elevators that exist in this massive place, having one not work is just poor maintenance. And the main middle section in front of JC Penny is mostly bare. There’s no real reason to come hang out (and spend more money). It’s just a mall. There’s no experience which is the biggest difference between these two
Malls that happen to be adjacent of each other.

Great mall. Reminds me of the Del Amo in Torrance. Really clean and new. Lots of free parking; where else can you get that in LA?
Lots of shops and food places. Overall atmosphere and vibe here is nicer than other malls I’ve been to. Would definitely come here to get my shopping needs in LA.

This shopping mall is amazing! I love the ambience of the Galleria. The amount of stores to choose from is great… considering what I have to choose from back at home.
The parking situation sucks so much! It feels like a never ending maze of awkward parking situations. Who ever designed the parking garage didn’t know what they were doing. So confusing!

A well-​designed shopping center.
This specific shopping center caters to high end and economic spending customers. I was most surprised by the mall’s first floor. The first floor has a unique and comfortable sitting chairs. Customers can curl up (contortionist style) while reading or listening to music.

Came here last week and parking was difficult to find. When we entered the galleria, the place looked empty. My friend and I walked around and there was no store we actually wanted to enter through. We encountered soo many vendors who wanted to sell us skincare products or steamers. They were absolutely annoying and could not understand the word no means no lol.
The galleria just wasn’t what I expected. I don’t think I would necessarily go back unless I had no choice. I would rather go elsewhere.

This is a huge mall. I love the food court, all the stores, and the fact that it’s so close to my work. I can easily drive over on my lunch hour and get some shopping down when i need to. It’s also conveniently across the street from the americana. You can get all your shopping needs done at the same time.

Love coming here every once in awhile. I only get to come here when I’m in the area, which is practically every other month. Great mall. Great selections. Very few from where I buy from, but we all have our own taste for which stores we shop. Always a great environment. Parking can be troublesome. Parking spaces in the structure are pretty tight and the signs with how parking stalls are available, I highly doubt are very accurate. It said that the 3^rd floor had not stalls available but when I got there, there were a few spots up there.

My favorite mall. love the atmosphere! not too crowded & it’s not like the other malls where you walk in & you’re the only person there. love how they always keep remodeling to have it look it’s best all the time. parking is okay but could be better!

3.5 stars. It definitely looks better after a much needed upgrade (plus being next door to Americana), but the design is still kind of confusing.
The floors sort of bleed into each other and some elevators will take you to the parking structure vs. to other floors. As a parent, escalators are much more conveniently located so if you’re planning on bringing young kids here think about it.
Thought the food court and overall culinary selections were expansive and the stores were a good mixture of high end and your typical name brand stores.
Appreciate that parking is still free and as long as you’re not changing floors the ramps are plentiful.
The crowd is pretty diverse which is probably a reflection of the area. I think if I lived closer I’d visit more often, but it’s a bit far to travel to.

So much has changed since I grew up in Glendale! I used to take the bee line to the mall back in the day lol. Good variety of stores but not a lot of selection of stores. Food court… a lot of delicious choices but man seats are hard to find!!!

It was A-​OK. Nothing that is out of the normal. Nothing new that hasn’t been seen. Nothing different from other outdoor shopping centers. Except for the shops… and restaurants… and locations of bathrooms, placement of benches, etc. I guess that was a nice change of scenery. Sounds like a had a horrendous experience? Not quite. I probably sound salty because I chose to do my Christmas shopping at a horrible time, and I am not too fond of crowded environments, but I can only blame myself. Spice is the variety of life. On the plus side, there was plenty of parking space… kind of.

This place is ginormous! Like the Santa Anita mall this mall has had many upgrades in the past five years. I shopped here with friends this past weekend and I was only able to cover half the mall after 5 hours.
Parking is a little crazy, but that was expected during the holiday season. Some of my favorite stores here are: Aldo, Apple, Auntie Anne’s, Banana Republic, Clair’s, Disney Store, Guess, Lucky Brand, MAC, Macy’s & Steve Madden. I can’t wait to check out the other half of this mall! :)

This was my 4^th time here. I was very excited to visit my favorite store Crabtree & Evelyn again, but someone told me they went out of business. =(I guess their products were too expensive, so they didn’t have enough customers to keep the store open. =(
I didn’t know there was also a shopping mall (Americana) next to Glendale Galleria. It looked just like The Grove on 3^rd & Fairfax. They had some amazing stores like Forever 21, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Sephora, American Eagle Outfitters, etc…
The Parking is Free for Glendale Galleria customers!

All I can say is this place is really, really nice! Not only is it humongous, there is so much ground to cover that it can seem a little intimidating. The best part of the Glendale Galleria is the variety of stores including THE LEGO STORE! I walked in here with my boyfriend and his lit up when we went in. No matter how old you are, guys, you will always get excited about legos. After perusing the store, my boyfriend spotted the Ghostbuster’s Ecto-​One and he about jumped for joy. Naturally, I bought it for him because it was our anniversary and he ended up building it that night in just TWO HOURS! Needless to say, if any other lego sets from our childhood pop up, I know where to buy them!

Easy parking in the multi level parking structure and an easy walk to the Americana. Love the dining options that are available. A fun candy soda fountain, phở 90 210, din tai fung, Katsuya! can easily spend half a day here eating and shopping. Since the remodel this mall has really come up. It looks new and refreshed.

Came to the gallery as a first ice skate date with a beautiful lady. What I WANT to know is why this place is called a gallery if there is no ice skating rank. Huge disappintment and when I asked someone working at the Bloomendale where to go she did not know. How unprofesional … Overall this place did not meet my expedation.

Whenever I need to go shopping or need to buy anything the Glendale Galleria is one of the first places that I think of. Several factors bring me here as opposed to other shopping places, one of them being that the Galleria pretty much has every single store that I love shopping at! When the opened up a Uniqlo I was so happy because it meant I no longer had to buy my jeans online and I could just head over and grab them in person. The décor of this place is fantastic as well. I remember last holidays they had several Lego exhibits throughout the mall which is was pretty awesome to look at.
IF for someone reason you just simply cannot find what you are looking for, then you are in luck because right across the street you have the Americana for your shopping necessities. They have a two story H&M and Forever 21 which is pretty freaking awesome, plus a second Apple story. Why you ask? Well because why not.
All in all this place has tons of places for clothes, entertainment, food, leisure and just pretty much anything in general. Parking is usually not that bad, but honestly it’s quite worth it.

The Mall: Many retail stores & kiosks. Lots varieties. Nicely maintained. It is fun shopping at this mall. Not super crowded.
The Parking: Parking structure and it is FREE parking!

This is a nice mall. It has a number of different stores to shop. And the food court as well. Also like that it has a couple choices of coffee places to pick from. It also has bigger stores like target and a dicks sporting goods and macys and a bloomingdales.

Nothing reminds me of my childhood like the Glendale Galleria.
When I was little my Aunt Grace used to take us here all the time to go shopping and get a smoothie.
The place has changed but this place will always hold fond memories for me.

I like this mall!
I like how it’s right next to the Americana too!
They’ve got a lot of stores to browse, a big food court, and a giant free parking structure! I park there, wander through the mall, and then cross the street to the Americana and Sprinkles cupcakes.
When I’m in the area, or craving Sprinkles, this is where I go.

I’m living in the area for over 15 years and I always go for shipping, There is car parked on Electric parking spot on the first level for «over one year» it’s a Blue Nissan LEAF while the sign said the employee parking on the roof ! I tried to notice the Security guard but he replied The employee’s are allowed to park here (unlike the sign said) as long as they want, even there is an other sing said 2HURS parking Only !
Security guard in an insulting way told me I am the supervisor and I will do whatever i want to do and you go do whatever you can !
Is the management or the security head are aware of what is happening here ?
I was there Sunday Morning 08−30−15 at 10AM and it was very unpleasant.
Security guard was with an SUV car with a lady sitting next to him.
The Security guard was laughing at me and told me go do whatever you wanna do I’m the supervisor and I’ll do whatever i want to do !
This guy insult and disrespected me.
If the management can see this review please do contact me and I will go there to identify the guy.

Decent mall with a good amount of stores. It has really changed over the years. There’s still lots of room for improvement.
Food court needs more seating space, especially during peak hours. I was there during that time and it felt like you were on a school campus looking for a seat. Did not like that at all.
Parking is okay. Don’t park at Americana if you don’t wanna end up paying for parking.

I’ve been here multiple times, and recently came again to browse the stores for a dress. However, walked away with no clothing purchases this time around. I used to like coming here because they had a Kyochon (Korean) chicken express location at the Food Court, but it’s gone now. Didn’t see it this time, what a bummer! :(Now I have to travel to Koreatown for bonchon or kyochon chicken!
Plenty of free parking in the parking structure, can be a bit confusing to navigate! Once you are at the Galleria, you can walk across to shop at the Americana!

I used to work in this mall. That was before Macy’s ate Robinson May!
Thee famous Glendale Galleria! Recently married to Americana on Brand. They even popped out a baby: Marshalls Department Store.
The convenience of everything close by. This mall is still in the growing process. Recently, I’ve seen a million Wetzel Pretzel places pop up.
This is a 3 story mall. From Macy’s 2 Target 2 Jcpenny 2 Bloomingdale’s. Forever21/​Sephora has moved over to Americana on Brand. But, you will find a smaller Sephora in Jcpenny.
Best place to find parking even on weekends is: Target side 2^nd/​3^rd floor. I just gave away my secret. I hope I don’t regret this.
A lot of stores have come and gone. But I’ll name a few that are still alive:
Macy’s
Bloomingdale’s
Guess
Express
Charlotte Russe
Coach
Michael Kors
Call it Spring
Pac Sun
Hot Topic
See’s Candy
ALDO
Jcpenny
TARGET
Victorias Secret
Bath & Body Works
LUSH
GAP
Papaya
Aeropastle
Holister
Tillys
Steve Madden
Zara
Recently opened a Chipotle in food court.
Kids play area: 2^nd floor next to Jcpenny.
Have fun shopping!

Wow this mall is huge! There are plenty of shops here to keep you busy browsing (and buying) all day. The best time to visit this mall is during the week day (less crowded this way), non holiday time.
I have been to this mall a few times and have enjoyed each and every visit. I love that there are plenty of stores here that I enjoy shopping at. You can find affordable stores and high end stores as well (Bloomingdale’s resides here, along with LV and Gucci for example).
But I do have to complain that with such a large mall, there really isn’t that many places to sit. The mall really should add more chairs, benches, etc so that people (especially elderly) can sit down in between stores.
There is also free WiFi here but you have to sign up for it by providing your email address. The WiFi is also a little on the slow side but it will do for me.
Parking is free here (there are two main parking lots).
Also should mention that the Americana is right across the street from here. So if you haven’t found yourself to be all shopped out, you can do some more browsing here too.
