Rice - Gateshead

Fantastic shopping area. So many shops under 1 roof. Lots of parking. Great for food and the fun area brilliant.

Love This Place , So Much to Do And Look At Everyone Needs Taken Into Account .Must Be My Favourite Shopping Mall Loved The Jubille Set Up Well Done .

Good place to visit a weekend. free and plentiful parking and many places to eat. I think it would be much better if there were more places to sit and rest, especially places where there were free tables to sit and eat, as it used to be some good 15-20 years back when metroland was still there. Some other parts of the shopping center have a lot of empty shops that have a bit an eye sore, but otherwise a good place to eat and buy.

Great shopping center absolutely massiw brought us 5 hours to round everything that was at the end of the shopping trip, they made a complaining leader job. dressjng the place after christmas it must take months to all dec’s up, they can’t visit newcastle and don’t go to the metro center.

There are plenty of parking spaces in the various colored zones, which are free but monitored. We parked in the yellow zone, as it provides direct access to the Odeon cinema and the arcade. The arcade is fantastic, boasting a wide range of games, including a soft play area at the back. There are numerous information stations with maps to help visitors locate the shops they need. Many restaurants are usually situated at the top of the yellow zone. The Metrocentre always has decorations for different holidays, which are wonderful to see. My son is particularly fond of the train that runs around the subway area and loves to explore further. However, I was not pleased with the £3 entry fee for both adults and children. Overall, there is a great selection of shops, and I am sure you'll enjoy your time here.
