More than just a shopping centre, this place is a whole experience! I've been here several times and always found it an enjoyable, if often hectic, day out. I love the flamboyant architecture with its ceiling frescoes, classical statues, spectacular water features, profusion of palms, and an ornate glass lift beneath the dome. There are three large stores - John Lewis, Selfridge's and a new M&S in the former Debenhams - along with many big high street names such as H&M, Next, Boots, Waterstones and New Look, and lots of smaller high-end fashion boutiques, jewellers, perfumeries and homeware shops. There's something to suit all tastes and pockets. I've always found the malls spotlessly clean and tidy, and they're also very accessible, with lifts and escalators between the two levels. There are cookie and ice-cream stands, juice bars, plenty of seating, and well-kept toilets throughout the centre. The spacious food court, resembling the deck of a cruise ship (with a "sky" that changes colour throughout the day), is surrounded by a wide variety of fast food outlets, and there are good restaurants and eateries of all nationalities, from Thai and Mexican to Italian, Greek and American, in imaginative themed zones. I try a different one for lunch each time I visit. There's a cinema, bowling alley, amusement arcade, sealife centre and Lego exhibition. Loads of free car parking, with disabled spaces and EV charge points, and a Metrolink tram service between the TC and Manchester, with trams every 12 minutes. There's enough shopping, dining and entertainment here to fill several days. I love this place and will keep coming back!
We went to The Trafford Centre by red line tram from Deansgate. Within 15 minutes.
There are many shops with a huge foodcourt. Talking about shops, not really interesting in terms of value buy. No big brands are here. The only few known brands are some clothing like Zara, H&M, Selfridge, John Lewis, Boots etc.
The foodcourt, The Orient, surrounded by a round shape of food stalls, with centre stage are all the seats. Please note that this is a self cleaned table food court.
I wouldn't spend time again to come here for shopping. I would rather focus on city centre.

I was at the Trafford Center on Tuesday and Thursday. It's a very nice modern shopping center just outside Manchester. You can reach it by tram from Manchester City. You have to change at Deansgate for the tram to Trafford Centre. I think the shopping center is very modern and beautiful. It is very large and there are many shops and also various restaurants. If you are in Manchester, you should definitely go there. There is even free parking.
The greatest mall I visited in Uk , it is huge and has all my favorite shopping destinations and lots of dinning options.
Also there are many entertainment destinations within the mall like Cinema, Lego and sea life and much more.
They always also hold many special events and installations throughout the year. I last visited during this festive season and the whole mall looked magical with all the decorations and lights. Bathrooms are always clean and tidy which is a major plus point!

This place is just so beautiful and lively. It has everything under one roof. If you're visiting for the first time, make sure you have at least 2-3 hours even if it's a window shopping spree. All the biggest brands, the best and massive food court, it's the best in town. A perfect place not only for shopping but also if you wanna celebrate your special day like birthday or an anniversary as there are a lot of options to choose from right from gifting, to which cuisine one should dine in for. Have fun. Make sure to visit the Trafford Palazzo too.
We visited Manchester recently and as part of our visit, we booked a morning at the Sea Life Centre. When we got there we were astounded by the beauty of the whole building and were so glad we booked the Sea Life Centre or we may not have visited at all.
The whole building is extremely well maintained. Inside it is spotlessly clean, the statues are stunning, the water feature in the middle is beautiful and the painted ceilings bring it all together.
Even the toilets were modern, clean and well maintained. The hand washing area had a whole system just above the sinks, where you pressed for soap, then pressed for water and then pressed to dry your hands, all in one place. It made it much more hygienic and efficient.
Inside there are a number of shops including a huge Primark, as well as homeward stores and other clothing stores.
There are also activities including the Sea Life Centre, but also including a new Nerf adventure experience and shop, and a mini LEGO experience and shop too.
If you lived in this area and had young children, I would expect they would have visited for at least one friends birthday party here, as they are advertised, and I think they would be popular.
The car park is very large, we arrived just as it opened at 10am and it was fairly empty but when we left nearly 2 hours later it was very busy, but still many car parking spaces left. The parking is free too, which makes it even more convenient to visit.
The Trafford Centre itself is easy to get to and close to the city centre.
