The Houston Galleria is a great place to go shopping, except at Christmas. I wouldn’t dream of attempting to navigate that mall during December. With three stories of shopping though, there is something there for everyone. Let the kids ice skate while you shop or just watch from a lower level food court. If shopping with friends, take your cell phone with you, as it’s easy to get separated in such a large complex. The area in the photo is the original section. There are three other adjoining sections that make this one of the largest in the country.
