This is a catch 22! Always have the cutest items, but also spend too much money. So what to do?!

This is my favorite target in the Des Moines metro area. While the experience with employees can be iffy as some seem to not enjoy being there, it's made up for with their large selection and cleanliness. They regularly have deals and promotions and they have a decent parking lot that is newly repaired. It's nice that they also have a CVS inside and are in a good location. read more

This is my go-to Target because it's close to my house. I do pickup orders there at least once a week. The guy that works in the AM at the drive up orders is a top tier worker. He's always thorough and polite. I never catch his name but I specifically go in the morning to get my pickup orders because I know this guy will be working. He's great and makes the experience so much better than your typical pickup order at any Target. read more

always my go-to place for something quick. staff are friendly and helpful and they have everything you could ever want.

I ordered mermaid-themed cupcakes from the bakery. They exceeded my expectations, so in March I went again to the bakery to see what they could do for a safari jungle-themed baby shower. Justin, who had done the mermaid cupcakes, was so helpful. He made the most awesome jungle animals decorated on cupcakes that matched the dinnerware (See attached photos). I was blown away with how darn cute they were! Please give Justin the recognition he deserves. He is top notch! Rarely do you find someone who goes above & beyond expectations & is so willing to do so; and with such professional & eye-catching creations. Target is so lucky to have such a. talented individual in their bakery! He has my business! read more

See all

This Target is what is known as a "Super Target." I live in a small town, so I purposefully make a list of things I need when I go to Des Moines. I always seek out a Target to check off the items on my list. This store is the perfect place to find everything you need. The store is clean and expansive and has a diversity of product lines. What is more, you feel as if there is a higher caliber of product than one might find at Walmart. The store is uniformly clean, bright, and airy. Also, the staff and workers are helpful, genial, and friendly. It is a great shopping experience. read more

One of the bonuses of moving to Des Moines was being near a Target. Life is good. This is a nice store with good inventory except the grocery section. I am not overly thrilled with that area, but I do most of my shopping for food at Hy-Vee. If I need household items, games, books, a greeting card, etc., this store is great. The store is clean and the staff are typically helpful. I visit at least once a week and will continue to do so. read more

The 1st thing to remember is that everyone is struggling with staff and to be kind to the staff who are there in trying to help people. I found that staff were more than willing to help me and most of the time would actually walk me to an area that I had questions about rather then just give me a general directions and send me on my way. The store was clean and well organized and staff were wearing masks and they had screens up to protect their cashiers all things that show me that they're caring about their employees. Target has all kinds of products that are appropriate for young families. My particular area of interest is their paper products and groceries. It's where I go to get my bulk paper towels and my bulk Kleenex. This particular target has t grocery area and they have all the items that you could ever need. They have high quality in the fresh food, frozen food and dry goods. They have a great beverage selection including water. Health drinks and wine and alcohol. I find that I can usually get in-and-out in a very timely manner. read more

This Super Target is okay, they were just out of a lot of items on the drink isle. I was a little surprised to see that because Target is usually never out of anything and that's why I prefer this store over their competitor. I was however able to get a couple of usb cables and a new phone case that were on sale and a sweet potato wrap from the deli since I love their deli section. They had truck parking so for me that's ALWAYS a plus. read more

Jeebus "Sandy" cheer up. I love Target, don't get me wrong...but my kid was making a purchase and Sandy had the personality of a wet paper towel. No "hi" or, "did you find everything okay", or even a smile. Dropped my kids change on the ground and stared at us like we were the ones at fault. THEN when she sees the look on my face, tries to explain that she "handed it a certain way so it *wouldn't* drop all over the floor"! To add to this (wish I was kidding), we go to the "snack bar", need something removed that scanned more than twice and no one seemed to want to be bothered helping when the light was flashing...btw, it wasn't busy‍. After an unusually long time and even AFTER my kid went to a cashier and pointed out the flashing light on the self-checkout...nothing. We ended up leaving without a purchase from the snack bar. Anddddddd many, many cashiers passed us!! read more

This is my fav out of all the Targets in the "Des Moines" area. This is a very large spacious Target. Employees are quite helpful but are not over doing it (as some Targets can have more employees and bother you instead of actually helping) this one isn't like that though. Plenty of employees and clean and well organized. HOWEVER, they need to have just as many employees even when the automated system is incorporated because with less employees the patrons can kind of run around doing what they want, being loud, messing things up. And it makes it a little scary. But aside of the more automated self check outs, I still like this store and it's still my fav! read more

This is a super Target. It has the home goods and grocery. This one also has a Starbucks and small food court which sells Pizza Hut items. They also sell popcorn, chicken tenders and drinks. This store is usually not too packed and is one of my favorite Targets in DSM area. On weekends they open until 11 PM otherwise 10 PM on weekdays. They have a decent selection of plus size clothing for women too. read more

Turner was very good helper. Very polite and did the job perfectly!

We moved near this target about a year ago and I have had a few minor negative experiences but overall it's a great store! Staff has been super helpful during covid and I love shopping here over other stores because people are always wearing masks. It's a very clean store and they have THE BEST CHICKEN STRIPS. Was inspired to write this review after I tried curbside pickup for the first time ever. This was 3 days before Thanksgiving so I'm sure they were busy but they were so quick and easy efficient and I received all my items. When I pulled up the guy was already outside with my items. He loaded my trunk up and we were out in a few minutes. Super happy with the service and will be using again. Glad this is the closest target to me! read more

Women's restroom needs some major work- the cleaning chat hadn't been updated in quite some time. Employees were nice though.

This...does not look like a Target. It's the nicest looking Target I've ever been to. It's in a weird location, it's worth the trip. It's a Super Target, but even then, it seems huge. In a good way. Biggest selection of food and baby things (the 2 groups I shop for most) around, and everything is super clean. Will definitely not be going back to the West Des Moines Target after finding this one. read more

This target is currently undergoing some changes but they are for the better. They have expanded their beauty section and made a little beauty bar that looks similar to Sephora layout. If you are beauty lover, you will love the changes and how the products are laid out. As for the rest of the store..its huge. They have a lot more selections in clothing and home goods then other Targets and everything always looks very neat and put together. The staff are very nice and also helpful when I come. read more

Wow, this is probably my favorite of all the Super Targets. The grocery section is absolutely heaven with a bakery which has Einstein Bros bagels, etc. Plus, the grocery section is nice even with some Asian vegetables. The whole layout is great with tons of stuff and easily located in the aisles. If you make it out this far, then be sure to check this one out:) read more

The Urbandale SuperTarget is my favorite Des Moines metro location - mostly because of the proximity to my house. I also appreciate that they usually are quite clean, the floor help is friendly, and more often than not they have what I want in stock. read more

The store is one level and is pretty huge. We found the basic necessities and then some! They had some cute lanterns that I had never seen before at the Target near me in Chicago. They also had a lot of different luggage sets and backpacks that I have also never seen. Maybe its this Target that is special, or that I have not extensively shopped enough at my local neighborhood Target. Oh well! This Target is still great! The Starbucks at this location though is another story.....I'll have a separate review for that! read more

Target is Target, same as any other. This is a nice, big clean store. Iowa's liquor laws are quite a bit more lax compared to many other states. So any retail store like a Target you can buy liquor. That is nice, convenient one stop shopping! Easy exit and reentry to and from the Interstate too! read more

This Target is hard to get into the parking lot and hard to navigate the store. I just get confused on both. The parking lot is twice the size it needs to be. It's part of the reason I only go to this location when necessary. I've never really found target to be a "find a deal" kinda store. It's always a little pricy from the groceries to the clothes. Plus their items seem to be lower in quality or the same as other chains with lower prices. read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Urbandale, Iowa

I am a fan of Target and most of their stores are great. I hate going to this location though as it is never a quick trip. The past 4 times I have visited this store, I have had to ask someone to check stock for me on an item as it was not on the shelf. The staff is always very friendly and most of the time, they have the item but I hate asking for items every time I go (first world problem I know). Unless I have to go to this locale, I avoid it. read more

Typically I have great experiences at Target stores but that was NOT the case today. I bought a winter coat this morning on my way to work in Ames to layer on top of a lighter coat as I was afraid I didn't bundle up enough. Well, I didn't end up needing the coat after all because I was inside all day unlike many days when I have to walk across ISU's campus--when I got back home to Urbandale this afternoon I went to my local Target to return the coat. I had the receipt and the card I used to purchase it with. The woman at the customer service desk immediately told me that she couldn't do same day returns from other stores because "that's their policy." So she told me to either wait 24 hours or to "go back to Ames." I read through the whole return policy while there and there is nothing in it that states they cannot accept same day returns from other stores. I went back to customer service and asked the woman to explain to me why she wouldn't accept my return and to show me where in their policy it states that. Her, nor any of the other employees knew where it stated that. I asked to speak with a manager who never showed up. Rather the employee and manager just spoke over their walkies and the woman emphasized to her manager "it's a REALLY LARGE COAT." What does that even mean? Are you accusing me of stealing or something? Meanwhile, 3 other employees came to spectate and SECURITY stood there with his arms crossed. They eventually processed the return and said that it's "because of their systems" that they "can't do same day returns from another store." Well, obviously they CAN do it, they just don't want to-- I do not appreciate the way I was treated while trying to do a simple return. There was no reason to have security present for a return with a receipt! I spent so much money here and this was my favorite store but this experience left a really bad taste in my mouth and I doubt I'll be back. You made this loyal shopper feel like she did something wrong! read more

I come to this target a few times a week since it is close to my work. If I'm hungry they have a nicely stocked "deli" area with a variety of things to eat. If I'm not hungry it's always fun to browse, especially their clearance. The floor staff and check out clerks are always very friendly. The store is kept very clean and organized, always a pleasure to shop here no matter what I'm seeking. This is my favorite Target! read more

I wish I could give half a star. Target is spacious and clean. They're a bit pricey though, and sometimes I wonder if they're worth the trip. read more
