I won't be going back.... You would think by going at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon there would be parking somewhere other than in the (overpriced) cave. I drove for 15 minutes to park for 3 disappointing minutes in Dick's Sporting Goods. I should have followed my instinct and drove the distance SOMEWHERE else other than Gateway.

The disappointing selection at high prices at Dick's sealed the deal.

I won't be going back.

Shame on the Gateway - Over priced, over-glamed,. Over priced, over-glamed, over promoted. It seems as if it was pitched as a link between the western part of SLC and its downtown - but serves a barrier to anyone from the west side of SLC. It is pretty to look at, but that is about all.

It must claim it's "instrumental role in nailing in the last nail into the coffin of Salt Lake's Main Street business area".

We froze. We tried shopping here once. It was winter and we absolutely froze. Parking is inconvenient. We parked at one end of the place, walked a ways and then, since it was so cold, we had to run from store to store -- warming up in each store -- in order to try to make it back to our car.

Whoever thought an open air mall made sense in northern Utah? It makes sense in Hawaii, but not in Salt Lake.

There is nothing in any store there that would induce me to return.

Pathetic cheap outdoor mall. Parking is terrible: enter into the abyss by driving into a maze that looks to be designed by architects that were smoking something. Absolutely impossible to figure out where you are vs where you want to be, which wouldn't be so bad if the mall was a vertical one, but this sucka is two loooong city blocks, so if you choose poorly, you'll be walking grandman and the kids half a mile to shop. Be sure to get a clue as to where you parked because you'll NEVER find your car again unless you take pains to write down where your car is.

Did it ever occur to anyone that the reason the parking is underground because, most often, it's nice indoors and not outdoors in northern Utah? No problem having an outdoor mall unless you are walking thru a foot of snow between stores (or ice where they have shoveled). Or lets say it's sunny: now the nearby star beats down upon same grandma and kids, melting them into pools of hairy grease. Getting the picture? It's either too hot or way too cold.

The fountains are nice. Who lives in the apts up there? Do they get to take the change falling out of people's pockets when they die from not finding their car? Or when the they freeze to death outside.
