Nice enough shopping centre, cost £2.50 to park just across the road from it for roughly 2 hours. Most retail units open, it is not the biggest of shopping malls and not much of way of food to be had inside it at all! But think all the restaurants are outside. A couple of “ends” of the shopping mall I found a little cold but all in all very very clean place and toilets also spotless with a decent mix of shops to choose from.

Don't forget to have a peek down at the free attraction. Down a small set of spiral stairs you'll find it, yes only a small room but pretty cool none the less. Shops in a centre that are open is also a rare thing in this day and age. Visit this and the area and protect the businesses 👍

It's an extremely huge Shopping Center in Stirling. You can find Maximum branded shops here, and you didn't feel crowded at all because of the large area of this Center. I can find anything which I need and I love to do shopping in this Center because I feel so comfortable, secure as well as in a relaxed environment. I prefer and suggested to others to go and do their shopping at Thistles Shopping Centre. I just love this Shopping Center anyway 💝

Nice shopping centre with a good selection of shops and cafes . It has the unusual addition of a jail! ( Not in use in current times!) Free to visit a little piece of history between purchases

Very clean and modern. Most of the shops were the usual high street names.

nipped in after a wet visit to Stirling Castle as needed lunch. very impressed with social distancing measures in place - barriers marking where to walk, everyone kept left. good choice of shops , better than our local shopping areas (Foundry in Scunthorpe and Freshney Place in Grimsby) which have multiple empty shops. staff were very friendly wherever we went.

Probably the best shopping centre in Britain!!! A real family friendly community focused place where you can just leave your phone's behind, meet friends, shop, eat, drink till you drop. My favourite area is the "snug" book exchange, chill out area where ANYONE can rest between visiting the vast variety of shops. You've also got highly professional friends staff who will help anyone in need. Just one more thing The Theives Pot JUST PAY FOR YOUR SHOPPING SIMPLES!!!!

A nice shopping mall with a good variety of shops which was very pleasing to see, considering how many big names are closing. Nice bright and airy. One thing that doesn't reflect on the mall is that the parking below is ridiculously overpriced. If I'd known it was now in the hands of a private company, I'd never have parked there. I have a blue badge, but that didn't matter at all as everyone pays regardless, and the cost is extortionately huge, £2 for an hour, although I was only parked for 20 minutes. I should have realised something wasn't right as the carpark is usually packed, especially on a Saturday, but it was really empty, I now know the reason. Be warned, folk's this is a rip-off car park.

Worked here for 3 years and it's the only shopping centre for miles and miles and is usually pretty busy. Security and staff are always really friendly it's also a shame some shops had to close due to the pandemic and I feel bad for the staff that had to leave. But it's got a great variety of shops at relatively decent prices.

Considering the Stirling Council has a population of just under 100,000 people, the shopping centre is rather a generous size. Has everything you need and a few good stores that suit my lifestyle like CEX. Cash Converters is also just outside the shopping centre which makes shopping here convenient.

Plenty of brightly lit up shops BUT too many that sell watches. Note the black 🚗,.. is over the line & the bus 🚌,. can't get through. I was wondering where all the shouting was coming from.

Easy access, ample parking. Great stores. The only Primark around, so it's great for buying a few items of clothing. The Workshop is lively inside. Has all the crafting and art supplies you need. Lifts and stairs. Clean toilets. Overall great shopping mall.

Normal shops nothing like much to say . They should have more variety and better discounts .

I have used the shopping centre religiously since moving to Scotland and I have come to buy a few items today to help better equip ourselves against this arduous weather, but you want me to leave my dogs in the pouring rain in this freezing weather on a hard standing instead of letting them take refuge in your massive entry to your shopping centre for 20 minutes where they will be safe and warm. You are a heartless corporation with lack compassion and no empathy. Why would we fill your greedy pockets? The picture of the dogs was taken in Edinburgh today, where the dogs have received the warmest reception by all shop owners and shopping centres! The second picture is of the massive entry to the shopping centre where the dogs were tied up. The third picture is for context and to show the sort of weather we are dealing with in Stirling.

You go and you shop ♡♡.Best place for a great coffee ☕️ is muffin Break 😍 😋

Good range of quality shops plus usual primark. Also mall stalks featuring local artisans. Lacks an nice eatery indoors but loads of choice in nearby streets. Easy parking with registration recognition.

Thistles shopping mall stirling is a massive shopping arcade . The bus terminal is just outside. The train station is also a stone throw from the mall.

Its so sad to see how many shops have closed during the pandemic. Loved the Lego sculptures and the kids and big kids liked getting their photos taken beside them. The balloon man and face painters were doing great business due to school holidays. If it wasn't for them I fear we wouldn't have lingered long.

Shops for everyone of any budget. Highly recommended this place especially if you just want to do a bit or retail therapy. Perfect place

Lots of nice shops and caffes, cute soft play area for kids.

Good selection of shops including M&S but the closure of a substantial Debenhams store will take some time to recover from.

Light and bright shopping centre/mall. Very good shops and eating places.

Just another mall with shops that could be anywhere, selling bog standard generic merchandise. Like most malls, too many franchises and not enough distinctive places. But provided shelter from the elements, close to train and bus station, plus paid parking.

This place is huge there are maps so you don't get lost and its amazing, you can find any shop with the map and you can have a bite to eat, with a coffee in hand as you shop or you can sit and relax after shopping it's very light and airy as well. I will visit again sometime in the future

Lovely shopping centre. Very clean, light and spacious. When I was there they were holding a makers market. Well worth a visit.

Enjoy a trip through from Edinburgh to the thistles. It's just a nice atmosphere and laid back; it hosts all you need and tbh Stirling Centre is a lovely visit.

Was good to be in the Thistles centre again after an absence of a few months. Had a day off work, so thought a wee trip through would be good. The centre is looking kinda sad now tbh. So many shops have shut down, only to be replaced by inferior stores. Had a kinda "dead" feel about it today.....but it was mid-week though I guess. There's still plenty of decent shops left that make it well worth a visit, and Stirling as a whole is a great place to visit.

Big, open, plenty of variety of shops and places surrounding thr shopping centre too if you fancy something local like a coffee and cake. Toilets are downstairs. I still haven't came across the disabled toilets but I'm sure I will in due time.

Nice and clean. Good selection of shops. Pleasant atmosphere for a shopping centre. Not too big not. Not too small. Right in the Goldielocks Zone. Love it.

It's always clean and looks good, but it's a bit dull. Saying that, they do put activities on in the summer and, of course, Christmas. They have just started decorating for the festive season too.

All shops in one place so convenient. Mostly wheelchair friendly as all one level and has life and disabled toilets and near to bus and train station with connecting lift so makes travelling into Stirling to shop easy Especially as a wheelchair user

This is a really good shopping mall with plenty of shops of a wide variety. Also some of the best kept toilets I have come across. The place is very clean and tidy with benches to rest on .

It's such a surprise to find a shopping centre that is full and thriving. I come from the Midlands where town planners seem to be doing their utmost to destroy everything. Everything you could want is in here including a lot of stores that have completely disappeared from England.

Simple to get by car, however road works so cannot get into the carpark from the duel carriage way have to use another entrance. Good selection of shops, the usual really for a shopping centre.

Lovely shopping centre, excellent car park, well lit and easy to find. Shops are a good mix, with lots of brand names as well as smaller shops. Very clean and bright.

Very light and airy. A good variety of stores with disabled access entrances. There are shop vacancies with some stores in the process of closing but not as many " empties" as some other shopping centres. The toilets are very clean and well maintained. The only drawback to the experience is the multi storey car park attached. The route from one level to the next is extremely tight which is probably why most cars opted for ground level. Vehicles with a wider wheelbase would have difficulty in navigating the route.

Clean and airy, toilets clean too. All kinds of shops to choose from so you won't get bored. Lovely wee coffee and muffin places to grab a bite including M&S Cafe which was busy but the staff were excellent at clearing and cleaning areas for new customers.

Massive building and parking. Only had to visit the EE shop to sort my phone. Quick and helpful staff so not too long. Paying pRking was a little different having number recognition deal with it all. Looks an amazing shopping event.

Travel to Thistles Shopping Centre quite a lot to do shopping. Always find that the shops here always have what we are looking for. Staff in shops extremely helpful. Always a pleasure to go there. Finished off with our visit to our usual restaurant The Indian Cottage where service and food is excellent. Looking forward to going again.👍👍👍

We visited here while on a trip to Sterling, the centre has a huge underground car park which is monitored via anpr so no need to wait for vouchers or tickets and when your done shopping the machines are by the lifts nice and quick contactless payment. It has all your named stores like Primark etc but it also has some great independent stores stocking gifts and memorabilia. Just outside the centre are plenty of places to eat. Would definitely visit again 😉

Nice clean shopping centre. We visited Primark, Holland and Barret and a few other shops. Particularly liked keep sakes and bought a few nice gifts from here.

Really good selection of shops available. The old jail pot was a great little find as well. Our granddaughter loved it, but please find the donation slots

The Thistles always looks clean and well maintained. Unfortunately more and more shops seem to be closing so there are a lot of quite attractive hoardings covering them. However, the staples of M & S and Boots are still there and there are plenty of cafés. I also like the art work / sculpture displayed and now there will be Christmas decorations and probably a grotto as in previous years.

Excellent shopping centre with a nice range of shops. One or two closed and fronted but hopefully they will re-open soon. Perfect location in the town centre and close to the bus station and train station.

It is very clear so can’t blame the staff as they do their jobs well but the amount of empty shops ruins it a bit, especially since Debenhams and Topshop closed (which isn’t the Thistle’s fault as it was the companies that fell apart during covid). Would be nice to see some of these empty retail properties being filled. Not sure what the solution is as times are difficult.

Wow what a beautiful shopping centre. You have to try the lifts they are absolutely amazing.. the walls change colour every time you make a journey!!

Was amazed by the size of this shopping centre, nothing like we expected. The range of shops was impressive. The place is overall very bright and clean.

Nice place

Got a bit of everything in it like all malls do!

cosy when it's raining snowing sleet

Shopping has become poor

Non essential stores closed

Dull, drab uninviting Shopping Centre. Poor layout & small shops Not a pleasant shopping experience at all.

Good layout

Shopping center with coffee shops and retail outlets fun for all

Great place.you can buy almost anything there

Due to Covid-19 it is not possible to complete any shopping.

Clean brought good choice shops

A love the shopping centre

Not to bad plenty of shops and parking

My go to place to walk in during Covid and the rain.

Very quiet as only essential shops open

Really good signage and one way (ish) system with roundabouts lots of hand cleaner ... good to be in and support our local shops.

It's a pity that Debenhams is closing. One of the mainstays. Good shopping centre though

It's a nice shopping centre, many different shops, clean toilets and overall pleasant. But nothing special to give 5 stars.

Great selection of shops and cheap parking, or get the train which is only across the street

Not connected, you can do more shopping in shops and more options also to roam.

Too many jewellers and mobile phone shops. Limited amount of food outlets and cafes. Very little for plus sizes. There are two good shoe shops if you're not on a budget. It's in the middle of town, so convenient for parking.

It's always a great experience at Thristles. Missed visiting it. Covid 19 complaint

Typical town centre shopping centre. Basically what you expect clean, well lit and full of big brands.

Great variety of shops

Great shoping center all under one roof good selection of shop. Good snacks and coffee shops. Good way to spend a few hour's and be dry on December. Great bus and taxie service. Realy clean center. Toilets are spotless will be back soon 😁👍

Exquisite shopping Centre housing various shops for good shopping experience. Accessibility: Easy entrance/exit accessibility for Wheelchairs 🧑‍🦼.

Excellent visit had been years! a wee historical gem inside the thistle centre. Shown in pics :

Good sized centre with a lot of shops. Has most of what you can guess retailers wise. Easy parking which isn’t too costly either and underneath the centre and easily accessed . Bonus is you can go outside to main st and other shops / restaurants etc .

Good variety of shops, although maybe a couple more for women's clothes would be nice. Plenty of space inside the mall which is good, and it generally looks very clean and well kept, especially the toilets, which is important!

Great shops. I can get everything I need.

Excellent place to do your Christmas Shoping

Loads of shops

Well sorted space good shops and well maintained

Lots of variety

Great shops never had any issued shopping here my experiences here have been great a good variety of different shops and all the sops are close together so it's a very compact centre it's easy to get around and find what you want only complaint would be I'm not fan off people in the middle of the centre trying to sell you phone cases etc Maintained very well, easy to navigate and you don't have to travel long.Overall good service

Adjacent to the main street in Stirling. A perfect set up.

Lovely shopping centre, good variety of shops, quite busy today due to the impending lockdown on Friday

Good to get in early, by 9, huge queues today prior to lockdown. Few people going about without masks and unchallenged

Looking a little forlorn theses days. Many shops are going since Covid arrived

Nice shopping centre alot of good shops

Perfect....

nice compact mall.

Thanks for supporting start up Stirling

My dad's in a wheelchair accessible is awesome the staff are great

Really busy today,great selection of shops.
