    GREEK GYROS! Yes Yes Yes if you are ever in this shopping centre....If you are ever in this shopping centre...(I know I said it twice) you MUST try this place. I had the Chicken Gyros my word what a delight. Fresh clean and friendly staff, it was a-bit of a wait for my food but I’d rather fresh food than ready made. Worth every star.

    Perhaps one of the biggest shopping centers outside London. We had a great day out here. It has plenty of food shops around. There's almost every high street shop inside. Lego shop for kids too just outside the building.

    Big indoor shopping mall with loads of shops not my thing but the wife likes it. There's places to sit and have a coffee whilst the wife shops! It was decorated for Christmas when we visited and it was still quite busy in the early evening. We decided to visit the theatre whilst there managing to park outside quite easily. Tickets for the theatre ranged from £19 up in the gods with limited views to £60 at the front for the show we saw.

    It’s a whole new world in there! An entire day is barely enough to cover the place. You can get anything you need from there. They have Primark, H&M, M&S, River Island and a lot more clothing stores and a variety of restaurants. They also have a market just outside the mall, where everything is super affordable and fresh! Plenty of parking space. Restroom facilities are also great. For those who use public transport, bus station is just outside the centre.

    We travelled from the north on our way to the south coast called in at The Centre:MK (Milton Keynes) to visit this giant shopping complex. It has all the usual big stores together with many cafes and restaurants. The place is enormous and you could easily get lost along all the passages. There are plenty of shops and you could spent many hours browsing and shopping. Plenty of parking spaces and there are so many attractions and options to visit here, especially on a rainy day. If you like shopping this could be a good day out. Milton Keynes is a great place for a teenager or young adult to live. There is a great night life with lots of amazing bars and clubs to go to. There is a massive shopping centre with everything you could possibly need, as far as things to do is concerned, there are 2 cinemas, a bowling alley, a trampoline centre, climbing centres, indoor skydiving but by far the best thing to do is at snozone, where you can go snowboarding, skiing or tobogganing. Milton Keynes is amazing.

    The new multi storey car park is great and well priced at £1 per hour. Best to go in early morning from opening time as it gets busy after midday. Lots of eateries to chose from. Most folks wearing masks and keeping distance. In-centre toilets very clean and totally modern.

    Nice to be back at CMK shopping centre. We visited the little funfair by John Lewis store which was being enjoyed by family groups. As usual the shopping centre is clean and well maintained. Lots of hand sanitation stations dotted around. Quite a few people not wearing masks though. Overall a visit is recommended as there is a great selection of shopping and eating facilities suitable for all pockets.

    We went to see an evening show; even with all the COVID checks, we got into the venue pretty quickly and soon seated. Best to use the bathroom early as there was a quite a queue in the interval. We were upper circle with a good view. Plenty of parking available outside and we only needed 30 minutes (£1.20) in the peak bays to carry us into the free parking. All in all, great venue,very well organized and a very enjoyable night out.

    its a lovely mall but its always very quite and there is a limited range of restaurants that meet different dietary requirements. me and my friend spent most of our time at the mall walking around looking for somewhere Halal to eat but unfortunately we couldn’t so gave up and had to settle with a vegetarian option at pizza express which wasn’t great. Ended up finding one halal restaurant just as we were about to leave. so definitely will be going there next time we visit the mall.

    Thoughtfully designed, huge mall with over 200+ stores gives you variety of things to explore, shop and eat. You will see lots of parking space outside the mall; involves lot of walking, so pull up your socks if you really want to make most of your visit.

    First time visited and was speechless as the place designated beautifully parkings lot is well designed and connected to every entrance, easy access and accommodated top-leading brands. They also brought x-mas early, so make sure to take your kids there as they're going to love it.

    Toilets are always clean and well maintained. Lots of things for kids to do- I only wish the ride on toys in the mall like the octotnauts gup A and paw patrol fire trucks would take our international credit cards--my kids didn't get to ride on them because it wouldn't take them. Or at least have an option to insert coins. We enjoyed the amusement park rides in the foyer next to John Lewis. Lots of options for eating places. And tons of small eats/treats . We enjoyed the chocolate drizzled Smarties Pretzel 🥨 and slushies!

    One of my favourite shopping centres, haven’t been since the pandemic started (made up for it today). Everyone was being sensible … thank you for being amazing! Top it off found out there is a multi-storey carpark - fantastic!

    Great place for shopping. Very large area and different brands available. There should be proper directions while navigating inside the mall

    Lovely Christmas feeling, the centre is really well decorated, Beautiful decorations, and the Christmas market was the best we have seen locally. Real nice outing. Lots to do here for the family. The santas groto and magical train, will definitely come back. The best shopping centre around locally.

  • 5/5 Aomam_review 3 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    The shopping mall offers a wide variety of stores, including popular brands and local boutiques. The layout is convenient and easy to navigate, and there are plenty of dining options to choose from. Parking is ample and well-organized. Overall, it's a great place to shop, dine, and spend time with family and friends.

  • 5/5 H N. 4 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Went a week ago whilst driving back north from a work trip, highly recommend whilst it's the festive season they have cute stalls and an impressive indoor train ride for the kids with a big Santa House. There is an outdoor market for fruit and veg I couldn't visit as I was busy in other stores, a decent sized Primark and a John Lewis. So much to do and plenty of places to either have a meal or a snack. I will be going back at some point !

  • 5/5 No Mask R. 3 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    Always clean, great selection of things from holistic medications to candle stick holders. This centre truly has it all (new robotics shop is amazing), most staff are very pleasant sometimes the people on kiosks act like they work on the market and try be a bit forceful but it’s not an issue for myself just others may struggle. Over all out of the 10-15 times I’ve visited I’ve never left and not wanted to return (Pho is amazing)

  • 5/5 Reneta K. 6 months ago on Google
    I love to come to this mall because there's plenty to do, I can go in the outside area, but I can also stay inside, there are so many types of food, clothes, stores, benches to sit if you get tired. I can conveniently come with a car and to park it or by bus. The big hall is always made to add up to customers' great experience - from indoor sand beach to a fashion weekend with lovely models and dancer that are presenting the brands amazingly. My kid also enjoys our visits here.

  • 5/5 Zoltan F. 11 months ago on Google
    I recently visited this shopping center and had an amazing time! My partner and I checked out the wedding show that was being held at the center, and we were impressed by the variety of vendors and services on offer. The show was well-organized and easy to navigate, and we came away with some great ideas and inspiration for our upcoming wedding. After the show, we had an amazing dinner at one of the small restaurants in the center. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Overall, we had a great time at the shopping center and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun day out. Whether you're shopping, attending an event, or just grabbing a bite to eat, there's something for everyone at this center.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 10 months ago on Google
    It's huge 😂😂 so many choices and much larger shops and a large outdoor market, it was very clean, well presented and with plenty of places to sit and rest if you need to. The toilets are plenty and actually nice which is rare these days. You definitely won't get bored with all the choices available there are also lots of restaurants and other fun things to enjoy that don't involve shopping.

  • 5/5 Mike C. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely huge shopping centre especially combined with Midsummer Place, not too many empty units either. A reasonable selection of eateries ( we went to Ask Italian) and lovely flat access throughout. Parking in the adjacent multi storey car park isn't the cheapest but on a wet day you can visit the whole lot without getting rained on.

  • 5/5 Anand S. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the biggest shopping mall in UK. You will find most of the brands with full stocks than other outlets. For eg. I have been to TKMax stores mostly in London but this has a huge store with ample of stock and fresh items. Washroom is such love. You will find plenty of places to relax and sit even if waiting for someone. Plus point, lots of food stalls out here. Even wanna grab a beer and chill, here its possible. An all time favourite place whenever you feel bored at home and wanna do some shopping with chilling. 😁

  • 4/5 Carol H. 9 months ago on Google
    Always a good selection of shops and eateries. Obviously some are now closed, but there seemed to be fewer empty spaces than in most town centres.

  • 5/5 Vishakha J. 7 months ago on Google
    Great mall. Affordable to High end brands. Has special markets in open spaces for global crowd. Can't go without buying anything here. Too big to visit go around and explore all outlets in a day.

  • 4/5 Nick H. 2 years ago on Google
    Full of excellent shops, bars, restaurants, and cafes. Surrounded by lots of parking, easily accessible from all over MK. Kept clean and tidy. Close by to the train station and other shopping area like midsummer and the excape. Lovely set up by the two side for walking up and down.

  • 3/5 Rhiannon W. 7 months ago on Google
    Big place with lots of shops. Very loud place, echos around and around and very busy, I'm really not a fan, personally I found it too much to deal with. The information points are useless if you're not used to the place. Not many shops I would personally use. Good size car park, but again, no info for disabled, we had no idea if we had to pay or not. If parking times are limited for a certain time free? We still have no idea. Just hoping for the best. Was worth a visit... once. Probably never again for me. To loud and too busy.

  • 5/5 Janet M. 7 months ago on Google
    I'm not from Milton Keynes so this was quite new to me. I found it extremely large but really clean, very disabled friendly loads of parking. Shops were amazing glad my grown up local son was with me or I would have got totally lost. Enjoyed my visit

  • 5/5 Rushmi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Not too crowded during off peak times and lots of shops, food and drink and the amazing Champneys spa in Boots.

  • 5/5 Rahmon S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is quite the "centre" as the name implies. It's quite the centre for everything shopping in MK. Your famous luxury brands, fashion, household, grocery and many more varieties all available here. Plus there's an Open market just behind..

  • 3/5 Andrea B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice to see the shopping centre fairly busy, but hardly anyone wearing masks anymore, which I am aware has been relaxed. Shops all open and it was very clean

  • 4/5 Jeff S. 4 months ago on Google
    The market in the middle is quirky and vibrant and a break from the boring inner sanctum in the heart of yawnsville. the building itself, a shoppers paradise I guess, plenty of everything to expect for those that like to find everything In one place and spend an entire day out.

  • 5/5 Pia A. 5 months ago on Google
    I used to live in MK 17 years. Then I moved to Northampton But i often go to MK city centre each time I see my daughter. Happy with all the shops there. Wagamama Pho Vietnamese, Leon and Nandos are my place for lunch. So many eating places here

  • 5/5 Charlie P. 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Enormous shopping centre with a wide variety of stores and restaurants. It currently has beautiful Christmas lights and displays. There’s also a temporary train and roundabout located inside too. I was also delighted to see a band performing Christmas music during my visit to the shopping centre. It can get quite busy especially around the Christmas time of the year however it is very spacious so you don’t need to worry about bumping into people. I recommend using a map if it’s your first time visiting because it is relatively easy to get lost in this shopping centre. Overall this is definitely a great place to go shopping in general and is especially great for Christmas shopping.

  • 5/5 Kendal C. 2 years ago on Google
    MK Theatre. Socially distanced. Masks. Covid Pass check. Staff helpful. Lifts 2 at a time maximum. Comfortable seating.

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 2 years ago on Google
    I like this venue. Large new car park across the road. Places to eat nearby. A variety of shows to chose. Easy to get to. Riverdance 25 anniversary show was spectacular. Covid protocols in place.

  • 4/5 Andy L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Santaclaus grotto visit with the grandchildren! All in all really good for the money paid!! The price included a snowman show and a train ride around a really bright centre square ! We finished off with a ride on the carousel and a bite to eat! The shopping centre was surprisingly quiet and we had a leisurely amble around the shops! Pleasant evening!

  • 4/5 Amanda H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to the post office and was quite pleased with wait time as I expected it to be worse than what it was. Only 2 people on till and everything else was self service . Mask wearing was optional as I know some places still have the requirement! Hand sanitiser at the door.....wasn't too bad overall...

  • 5/5 Debbie C. 2 years ago on Google
    The only shopping centre I like visiting! Clean. Good shops. Good toilets. Lots of nice eateries. Stacks of parking. Large outdoor market. In summer really like all the deckchairs and yummy eateries in the courtyard are. Nice to sit in deckchairs and relax a bit.

  • 1/5 adrian i. 2 years ago on Google
    A great advert for online shopping. Demonstrates the tragic impact of Covid on the retail world. With many of the flagship stores no longer here and dozens of boarded up units it’s hard to imagine that this was, not so long ago, one of the most vibrant indoor centres in Europe. Now - not even the vending units work. Strictly for those who enjoy shopping for the sake of being in shops - if you want something specific, stick to online.

  • 5/5 Valentina V. 1 year ago on Google
    I had never visited such a huge shopping center before. It looks like an oasis in the middle of the city. There are many shops, restaurants and bars. The prices are quite reasonable. Great place to spend the day!

  • 5/5 Gary R. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved Milton Keyenes. The town centre is new and fresh. The street food was great. Cromwell Park is fabulous. Puts the Princess Anne Park in Washington, another New Town, to shame.

  • 3/5 Jonathon S. 2 years ago on Google
    It is not a city centre. Do not let the title fool you. For it fooled me. And how foolish I felt. It is an out of town shopping centre... In town. Shops.exe that is all.

  • 4/5 Graham B. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited 9th and 10th December it was a good experience, we booked 2 mobility scooters for both days at the customer service very helpful people. Most people were wearing masks apart from a few.no one was following the one direction arrows on the floor, many people just disregarded the fact we were driving or disabled scooters and walked directly in front of us even though we took great care and slow as possible. Sadly it's a sign of the times if we could walk without the aid of a scooter we would. We still had a great time

  • 5/5 Paulene W. 2 years ago on Google
    Laura Knight at the Milton Keynes gallery simply wonderful. Not crowded as timed tickets system. Clean, safe and easy.

  • 2/5 tracey s. 2 years ago on Google
    Every year we look forward to the square at Christmas. This year however I found very disappointing. As you go to the square you are met with a cage like building. With everything else dotted around it. I continued to walk around as thinking there was more on the other side. I was wrong.. even the train has no Christmas decorations around it. I watched as people looked at the lack of decoration. Unless you pay to go into see Santa you don’t get to see much else. I took a couple of photos one is when you walk to the square and what you first see and the other is the decorations that public can see.

  • 4/5 Kelly B. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm always at the centre. At least 3/4 times a week. I love it. The atmosphere. The range of shops and eateries is fantastic. Can easily pass the day away here! My added bonus was bumping into Ashley Banjo from Diversity last week!

  • 5/5 Caterina R. 2 years ago on Google

    Wonderful staff. Excellent chef's. Amazing food. Great selection of foods. A pefect treat for all. Something for everyone. The grill selection is delicious. Cooked to your liking 👍. A great place to eat and drink 🍸. My son had a fantastic 21st birthday here today enjoying some fine cocktails 🍸

    Lovely shopping centre! Clean & tidy! Has some nice sitting relaxing areas! Very good selection of top shops!

  • 4/5 Steve O. 2 years ago on Google
    If you have to go to a Mall: this is the one. Half a mile long with a great selection of shops and places to eat, get coffee. It's so light and airy and there are fantastic planters with greenery to give you a kind of orangery feel, with birds singing and flying throughout. Market right next door. Plenty of cheap parking if you avoid the spaces right next to the center. John Lewis car park has really wide bays ideal for parent/children visitors. £2 for 2 hours.

  • 5/5 Beverley B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great shopping centre, it when on for miles in all directions. The best day out of ages. And it's all in doors.

  • 4/5 Bob D. 1 year ago on Google
    There is a nice theatre but the seats were wet they cleaned them and did not give them time to dry.

  • 5/5 Deborah F. 2 years ago on Google
    Good selection of shops even though lots seemed to have closed since lockdown. Very quiet, and exceptionally clean.

  • 5/5 Iqbal H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went during the week so was nice and quiet whilst all the kids were at school. The Centre is very clean and tidy with a wide variety of shops from budget to ultra luxury. The design is elegant yet simplistic, with plants and greenery near the entrance, enhancing the quality of air and overall zen.

  • 3/5 Janet M. 2 years ago on Google
    Getting back to some sort of normality ..the place was too busy ...a lot of people early Christmas shoppers shoulder to shoulder in some areas and 98% didn't wear masks ...we got a bit claustrophobic so we left as soon as we got what we went for but if you like the hustle and bustle Saturday is definitely for you .....

  • 4/5 Miriam A. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place, especially around Christmas time! There's a Christmas market with a few rides for the little ones, carousel, train ride, santa's grotto... Lots of shops and treats around. Few coffee shops Great facilities for baby changing as well. The only thing I didn't like a lot around Christmas time, is how busy it was otherwise brilliant place

  • 5/5 Clare N. 2 years ago on Google
    First visit & certainly won't be my last. Great selection of shops & restaurants, very clean environment. Toilets spotless. Had a great day shopping. Will be visiting again to do some Christmas shopping 🙂

  • 5/5 H R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great shopping centre with loads of parking at a cheap rate in the new multi story car park. Also a nice walk around and normally lots to see in the events hall. It's clean and tidy and safe.

  • 4/5 david j w b. 1 year ago on Google
    Having lived in Milton Keynes in the 1990s I remember the Centre:MK felt like some science fiction future of shopping. now the world has caught up, and it’s another shopping centre. The pandemic has clearly been an enormous strain on the retail economy and there are lots of competitive places around in a 20 minute drive. Give it another try, because it has one of everything, it is exceptionally easy to use, the new parking facilities work well, and this is beginning to get a little bit of its buzz back as people return to the real world. I paused for coffee and to enjoy the Christmas displays – and the memories of taking tiny children to see them. They may all be adults now, but we need to vote with our wallets if we want to keep marvellous things open.

  • 5/5 Leona G. 9 months ago on Google
    Came here in the 90s and thought it was brilliant how you can just park easily and I remember one huge row of shops all undercover. Came back in 2023 and its stood the test of time really well. Pity the Point cant be renovated.

  • 5/5 Arunava C. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to move around and spend time in. Lots of branded stores and food options. Toilets are well maintained. Lots of sitting arrangements for elders ! Christmas lights have been installed now !!
