What People Are Saying About The Gateway
Featured Review
Contributor

Overview – Traditionalists may cling to the old-school charm of Main Street retail, but everyone else will gravitate toward the Gateway mall for some serious shopping. Gateway is the largest shopping area in Salt Lake--part of a larger complex that includes condominiums and office buildings--and has the unusual distinction of riding the line between sophistication and amusement-park fanfare. – – The Experience – Stores making their debut in town include Abercrombie & Fitch, Bebe, J. Crew and Build-a-Bear Workshop. Old favorites such as Bastille, Bill Loya, Victoria's…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Ask at the info desk or MegaPlex 12 about the megapass. For $39.50, get two movie tickets, medium popcorn, $25 toward dinner (with free dessert) at a number of restaurants, two yogurts at Humphrey Yogurt and free parking.
- Know Before You Go:
- Going to a Jazz game? Take Trax to Gateway and grab dinner beforehand--it's located just behind Delta Center. Click for dining and shopping options.

I won't be going back...
by 304679 at Citysearch
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,
by Lone Swagman at Citysearch
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".
- Pros: None
- Cons: Too many to list

We froze
by Lyncruiser at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: none
- Cons: weather, parking

Pathetic cheap outdoor mall
by hellokitty666 at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: They don't charge you to breathe...yet
- Cons: Too hot, too cold, shabby cheap-looking american mall

Love it!
by treebee99 at Citysearch
How can you not love the Gateway? It is the best shopping place in SLC! I love going there and hitting all the stores, seeing a movie, and then getting some food. I am so excited for the holidays to come and have everything be decorated and festive!!
