NorthPark Center

NorthPark Center is a shopping center on North Central Expressway at Northwest Highway, about seven miles north of downtown Dallas. With more than 200 stores and restaurants, it is the best-known shopping destination in Dallas.

NorthPark’s tenant mix runs from department stores and luxury boutiques to national retailers, specialty shops and restaurants. The center also has the AMC NorthPark 15 movie theater. Shoppers can use valet parking, personal shopping, concierge services and tax-free shopping for international visitors, and the center markets itself around what it calls “The Art of Shopping.”

That phrase reflects the center’s art collection. Sculptures and other works are displayed throughout the common areas, and the center’s landscaped courts give it a different feel from most enclosed malls.

NorthPark is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., and it closes on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. It is easy to reach from both Dallas Love Field and DFW International Airport. The main number is (214) 363-7441, and NorthPark Security can be reached at (214) 363-8347.
