Dundrum Town Centre

I just love Dundrum, how can you not?! When the Town Centre was first built I wasn’t a fan, getting a parking space was a nightmare and then the crowds!
Now however, I love this place and all it has to offer. From your designer shops (such as Michael Kors) to your high street favorites (PENNEY’S!), along with a wealth of places to eat and a cinema & theater, this place has it all.
We don’t live as close as we used too but we still love to come out here on a Friday after work or early on a Saturday morning, as that’s the key to parking– avoid rainy days and get in early… the place just seems to attract everyone on a rainy day :)

Love this shopping center, it has all my favorite shops and cafes under one roof
Love shopping in Penney’s, it’s huge ! Love their Zara, Riverisland and Berska and huge Tesco’s’
Butlers’ and Starbucks’ are the best places if you are heading for a cuppa :)
Milano around the corner I advice if you are looking for a bite to eat, it’s affordable and tasty!

I’m always here– sometimes for the cinema and sometimes for hot chocolate and some shopping. It’s clean, orderly, and never usually too busy.

Dundrum reminds me of the shopping centers (malls) in the US. Lots of shops with huge variety spread across multiple floors with plenty of food options to refuel.
Parking can be a challenge but in general OK. If your not driving then it is served by LUAS and bus.

I don’t know how I’m only starting to review Dundrum Town centre when I’ve been coming here for years! My favourite place to come for shopping because it has everything you need. Okay I know the city centre does too, but Dundrum is indoors and beats town on a rainy day! All the shops you need are here with a little few extra additions like Calvin Klien and Hugo Boss! Also House of Fraiser :)
Upstairs on the top 3^rd floor you can go outside to more shops like North Face and the huge tescos and butchers. And Funky Monkeys is on the same floor I bring my little one here she loves it! It’s like an activity center for kids that has slides, toys and play houses.
Then you go to the bottom floor. Go outside to find tons of restaurants like Mao, Milanos, Wagamama, Mcdonalds, TGI FRidays. Loads more!..
My love for Jamie’s Italian, The Counter and the amazing cinema they have will always keep me coming back. The cinema does great deals on Monday. € 10 for ticket, popcorn/​nachos, and a drink. Large ones at that! And the nacho cheese is hot and spicy straight from the machine. Mmmmmm nacho cheese…

I go more for the Tesco supermarket, until last month you could shop and you would get a discount ticket and you wouldn’t need to pay for parking. Anyway, during Christmas time the traffic is not so pleasant, however, there are so many shops and restaurants around that I think it’s definitely worth visiting for those reasons. Plus there are always parking spaces.

Oh how I love you Dundrum! and I don’t just love you because I know the girl who’s dad own’s the centre (I’m not bragging) This place is filled with magic honestly! Designer brand’s & non designer brand’s who cares! it’s even lovely to just walk around the outside with the fountains & the music playing. It has every shop you need even Airfield farm which is not far from the centre great for family outings. So thank you for making every shopping experience a fun one!

Great shopping centre packed with plenty of options for every type of buyer from the cheaper high street stores to the higher end designer wear, this place has it all. There is ample parking and the entrances are all easily accessed. What’s great about this place is also the entertainment options here, from crazy golf centre, a pottery painting drop in centre, late cinemaplex and a food quarters this is also a place for just kicking back though if shopping is your thing, this will tick the box for you. My fave go to is the House of Fraser

To me it’s rather a treat when I go shopping there. I always enjoy it. It starts already with the parking. Not too expensive (and if you go to dinner or the cinema in the evening even less expensive) and I love the way you can see where it makes sense to turn into to park your car.
My best memory is from a few years ago when I managed to loose a couple of stones and went shopping for new clothes with two friends. We ended up shopping for 8 hours (something I never did before and probably never do again).
I love the vatiety of shops, there’s something to fit everyones budget and need and it’s spaceous and friendly.

Well it’s the largest shopping centre in Dublin has everything from food, clothes, homeware, cinema bars etc etc the list goes on.
It is obviously more biased towards the female shopper but still plenty of options for the lads!
Good transport links and a really good car park with plenty of entrances round off this shopping centre to be the best in the country.

I’m usually not a big fan of malls, too big, too hot, and definitely too crowded for me.
But as we were looking for something to do, we walked all the way to this mall.
I was really surprised by how the entrance looks like, the music, fountain, and different restaurants, all look so nice and clean.
Since it was really windy and rainy, we got inside and was impressed by all the good stores in this place. I think we can find nearly all the same brands than in the center, except it’s in a mall and not outside, and that it’s less crowded. It was kind of empty in this friday afternoon, and that might be one of the reasons I liked this place so much. Also it looked way cleaner and safer than the place I’m used to back in France.
My boyfriend really liked the big and quiet Superdry store, I really liked the big and quiet as well Urban outfitters, I was just a little bit disappointed by the size of the Topshop which is actually only a small part of the House of fraser and not a real shop on its own.
I did not had a chance to eat there this time but I’ve spotted a few restaurants with gluten free option, like the burger restaurant outside, and I bought a few really nice pastries at the Douglas and Kaldi café (which actually had a nice choice of pastries and a lot of gluten free option on the menu).
I’m really looking forward to going back there !

Beautiful mall with an awesome selection of shops!
House of fraser is worth the trip from the city centre and the restaurants are pretty good to.
Avoid it during saturdays or sundays if you don’t like families with kids!
The only negative point is that a Tiger store is missing, the rest of the shops are pretty common as well.
Hamley’s is very good for kids

Great shopping centre has everything you need under one roof Boots, Penneys, McDonalds, Starbucks, Easons, Tk Max and many more very clean, modern and parking rates are decent.

I do think one of the big draws of Dundrum Town Centre that keeps it popular and ridiculously busy is the car parking situation. It’s € 2 for 3 hours as a few others have mentioned. Tesco on the top floor will also validate your parking if you spend over € 30, so if you plan on being longer than 3 hours, maybe do a food shop too!
The carpark is also very easy to navigate, although horrendously busy at Christmas and some weekends.
The Town Centre is clean, has a good range of shops and restaurants, a nice cinema and has attractive open spaces inside and out. It’s not too large when walking around that you’d feel overwhelmed by too many shops. It’s a good balance which has kept it popular.
The only downsides to the place are how mental it gets at weekends and holidays and that it’s often either too hot and stuffy or too cold (although this must be difficult to regulate).
They have an ice rink at Christmas and the twinkling Christmas

Shiny and posh, you can nearly smell the money when you walk into this place. I absolutely love wandering around, but apart from Penney’s and M&S, I’m not sure if I’ve ever actually spent money here. However fear not for the financial health of the good merchants here, there do be plenty of new clothes-​sporting fabulous teenage girls with the confidence of grown women and many more yummy mummies swinging shopping bags from their strollers to keep them going. Great for window-​shopping and people-​watching.

Dundrum Shopping Center is a really good place to shop! lots of different shops and something for everyone! You can get there all you need!
Just the parking is a little complicated because the park house was soooo full and we needed to drive around for quiet a few minutes! But the price for parking is awesome!
And at the moment you can go there and you will definately come in Christmas mood :) Beautiful light effects and Santa Claus is there too!

Easy parking if you know where to go and have always found it easy to find a spot… Shopping wise always find the few specialty food stores for things I am looking for that I can’t find at dunnes/​superquinn.
Has a good selection of places to eat out at…

Yes it’s sparkly, yes it’s clean, yes it’s pretty. But I’m not interested in any of that. What I really want to talk about isn’t the variety of shops, or the transport links or the new and sophisticated décor. What I’m interested in is…
…the car park! I really truly never expected myself to be sitting down on a Monday evening to write a review about a car park. What can I say, I was impressed!
There are electronic signs at the end of each row telling you how many spaces there are and where to find them. Then when you turn into your chosen row, there are easily visible red or green lights above each space, so that you can see from a fair distance exactly where the space is. What a time and stress saver! And all for only € 3 for three hours. Deadly.

In terms of rating a shopping center, this is one of the best I have seen. I have been here a few times and find it easy to get too as it is right along the Luas and generally had anything I am looking for and in fact usually way more than I am looking for. The entire complex is very new and clean and has a freshness to it that you don’t get in many of the other Dublin shopping centers. It is a nice setup with fountains outside and a well designed outer courtyard surrounded by restaurants and entertainment. I really enjoy all the dining options and the Movies at Dundrum theatres which are great for a night out.
The entire complex is very large with many levels of shops. This is a place you definitely need a map and a plan or you can just end up lost.
We took our son here to see in Santa and the setup in the main toy store was amazing and was probably one of the best most organized Santa events I have seen. I think it was 8 – 10 euro and included a toy and picture with Santa.
Christmas time at Dundrum is beautiful also with decorations everywhere, a nice sized ice rink and a miniature train that snakes itself through the mall for the kids.

I do like Dundrum Town Centre and I’m not even a fan of shopping.
I am sitting here trying to think of a fault and I can’t think of one. It does exactly what it sets out to do and it does it well.
There are plenty of shops, suiting all tastes and pockets.

The toilet facilities are excellent.
Parking cost us 2 EUR for the 2 – 3 or so hours we were there. I was genuinely surprised at how cheap it cost. I like the lights they have above each parking space to indicate if its occupied or not. They also had staff in the car parks to keep things flowing.
There are touch screens all over the place to check where a shop you are looking for is and it then directs you how to get there.
Public transport is good if you are not car inclined, with the Luas and buses a-​plenty.
And the way they turned the flood damage around in October 2011? Kudos

Zu den Geschäften wurde alles gesagt.
Was ich noch erwähnen will: Wer mit dem Auto kommt, hat die Ehre, in einem Topmodernen Parkhaus zu parken. Jeder Parkplatz hat seinen eigenen Sensor mit Statuslicht an der Decke. So sieht man schon von weitem, ob ein Parkplatz in einer Reihe frei ist oder nicht.
Auch super: Im Vergleich zu anderen Shopping Centres in Dublin (z.B. Blanchardstown) parkt man hier sehr nah an den Geschäften.

Eigentlich gibt es hier die üblichen Geschäfte, die es in der Grafton Street oder anderswo auch gibt. Toll am Dundrum Shopping Centre ist aber, dass man wirklich alles unter einem Dach hat, inklusive einem der größten und bestsortiertesten Tescos in der 3. Etage (hat sage und schreibe 24 Stunden geöffnet!!!), hübsche Marks & Spencer Food-​Abteilung im Tiefgeschoss, Toni & Guy und Peter Mark-​Friseure in der 4. Etage. Zwischendruch stärke ich mich am liebsten mit den richtig gute Bagels, Muffins und Kaffee bei BB’s-Coffee and Muffins (3. OG, direkt vor Tesco).
Ansonsten sind alle großen Geschäfte mit Frauen-​, Herren-​, Kinderkleidung, Spielzeug, Schuhen, Accessoires etc. vertreten. Bei Regen eine gute Alternative zur Innenstadt, in der Vorweihnachtszeit beispielsweise verteilt sich die Masse an shoppingsüchtigen Menschen immerhin auf zwei Orte.
Das Beste außerdem: nirgendwo habe ich so ein helles, modernes, ausreichend großes, gut organisiertes und preisgünstiges Parkhaus erlebt wie dort. EUR 2, — für die erste Stunde, die 2. und 3. ist kostenlos, dann EUR 2, — pro angefangene Stunde.
Wer mit den Öffentlichen kommt: Dundrum Shopping Centre liegt genau zwischen den LUAS-​Stationen Balally und Dundrum (Green Line).
Busse: 14, 14a, 17, 44, 48 und 75.
