Love this place there is so much to do. The kids enjoyed the arcade area and the slushie shop where u fill your own cups with as many flavours and add fresh ice cream on top! It's the best thing ever. This place also has an indoor play area, cinema and bowling. Lots of food places. Rock climbing and shopping. Lots of parking available. Definately worth a visit

I recently had the pleasure of visiting an incredible shopping mall located in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This massive shopping center is truly amazing and consists of four malls combined into one convenient location. Each mall is color-coded with Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue. I parked at the Yellow Mall, where parking is free and there is no limit on the duration of your stay. The play area for children is absolutely beautiful and exciting, featuring wall climbing and other activities.
There are unlimited options for dining, so you'll never have to worry about where to eat. Although I didn't see any Indian food options, they have a Turkish delight stall and definitely some Chinese options. You can also find a PRIMARK store here for those who love to shop there. The mall even has a free indoor maze that was set up during the Easter holidays for Easter egg hunting.
The mall boasts an unbelievably large number of branded shops, and I was particularly impressed with the Guess store. For added fun for the kids, there's even a Train on Wheels that goes around the entire mall. There is a security team all over the place, so there are no issues with safety or security. The mall provides clear and readable directions, and each mall area has a help desk for extra customer care.
To fully experience everything this mall has to offer, you'll need at least 4-5 hours. I loved every minute of my time here, and I definitely recommend a visit to anyone looking for a fantastic shopping experience.

I visited the MetroCentre while on holiday in the area, mainly just to see what it was like as it is listed as the UKs BIGGEST shopping centre. As soon as I arrived I parked easy as there were plenty of spaces. Parking FREE is a bonus too as it means I can explore shops for as long as I want without worrying about carpark fee's clocking up. This benefits both the visitor and the retailer's. It was good to see the use of some solar panel car ports in the carpark too!
When I entered the shopping centre it looked just like any other UK shopping centre, but it wasn't very busy like many are. I was glad to see that the MetroCentre had provided proper paper maps to show the location of the shops toilets and other facilities, it was very considerate of them and the map came in handy. As for the shops, there was a good range of shops as expected, plus a Namco Fun Scape entertainment centre and climbing activity centre, which are handy if you get bored of shopping! Outside the Shopping centre were even more retail units, they were a bit of a walk away though.
Considering the size of the MetroCentre I was very surprised not to see a big "central" food hall. There are plenty of food outlets scattered about, but they are not all grouped together like in some shopping centres I have visited, like Merry Hill Shopping Centre in the Midlands, which is operated by intu. In Merry Hill there is one big hall with about 20 different food outlets around its edge selling every type of food, from Fish & Chips to Chinese.
Although the MetroCentre is listed as the largest shopping centre in the UK, some parts of it are like a ghost town! Absolutely full of empty unused retail units. For the FREE parking alone, the MetroCentre is well worth a visit to do your shopping though, so I totally recommend it.
