MY OPINION

Meadowhall is great shopping centre with Hundreds of great shops under one roof. The staff are all very friendly and more then will to help with any queries.

I found the Parking is great because free and very well signposted, the super tram was really good perk as we parked in meadow hall then travelled to the city centre for a look around before returning to meadowhall to shop till we dropped.

The centre itself is very clean and tidy, and there are plenty of signs to help you find your way around .

I would recommend this to all, it is much better and nicer then the Trafford and to be honest there are not that far away from each other, so give it a try.

Summary: Fantistic shopping center so suit everyones needs.
