Not here to leave a review but please aware of this creepy man; who kept glancing over at me in a creepy manner. If you see him BEWARE. He kept on turning his head to stare at me and as you can see this all took place at West Lakes shopping centre. He kept on doing it. He kept on turning his head and looking/staring at me. Please be careful of this creepy and weird man. He kept on turning his head and just looking at me SO MANY TIMES!!! I had to move seats and made my whole shopping experience a let down! I hope he dies in his sleep and his whole family die in a house fire and go to hell for eternity!!! read more

This place has certainly grown somewhat, though it was a while since I last wandered through these hallowed halls. Anyway, it is just basically another shopping centre, though I have to admit that adding a cinema is certainly a nice touch, even though they haven't actually added an outdoor area yet, which is a bit of a shame, though I suspect that this will be coming sooner or later. Like a lot of these large shopping centres, they pretty much have all of the stock standard stores here, whether they be big or small, and of course there is also the food court, which not surprisingly is right next to the cinema. I guess the thing that I don't like about the place is that it really isn't all that accessible by public transport (or at least decent public transport. read more

West Lakes Shopping Centre is one of Adelaide's three Westfields, and quite distinct from the other two (Tea Tree Plaza and Marion Shopping Centre). About the same size as Tea Tree Plaza, is has quite a different set of shops, aiming itself more towards a West Lakes resident - that is, middle to upper middle class, with more money than the average suburb. Shops like David Jones, Adairs, Cue, and Jacqui E set the tone for the middle-aged female shoppers with their own or their husband's money. There is also plenty for teenagers, with shops like Globalize, Rubi, Supre, Diva, Jean's West and Jetty Surf. It does lack in terms of kid's stores, as it doesn't have any toy shops, games shops or hobby shops, and only a few kids' clothing stores. There are heaps of services like optometrists, pharmacists, fruit stores and specialty grocers, on top of two large supermarkets and a Kmart. The foodcourt here is pricier than standard, but has a more interesting range of food. There is Indian, a chicken carvery, a yiros shop with lots of other Middle Eastern cooking, sushi and noodle shops, and a great cake and focaccia shop. Upstairs is Readings Cinemas, so it's very easy to make a big day out of a visit to the West Lakes shops. read more

Westfield West Lakes - Shopping Centers Near Me - West Lakes, SA

The variety of stores is hard to beat, but I have been in situations where I just can't find what I want and end up going to the city. It's probably the smallest range of products within the many stores so you may find that you'll need to get your size from the city or another mall like Burnside or Marion. Not great for restaurants, the foodcourt is pretty good and of course having a cinema is good too. read more

Wow has this shopping centre had some major upgrade works performed in the last 5 years or so. It used to just be a kind of U shape with a supermarket one end, department store another, KMart another end and lots of shops in the middle. Now it has a full food court, a larger upper level, a cinema complex and many more specialty shops in between. It's much more of a full service shopping centre for the people of the area. It also has a lot of great shops, restaurants and even accomodation surrounding it just across from the carparking area's. Only issue is........ don't go shopping here when there is an event on at Aami Stadium. Although they have done as much as they can to stop people parking here and going across the road it is still bedlam just to get through the streets from suburbs away. Don't even bother and if you get close and then realise turn back before it's too late. Any other time is usually not a problem to find a park. I have also known them to be the meeting point for some great car runs in the evenings or late afternoons with carpark being full of some of the sweetest rides you will see. Even if you don't have a car to join in it is worth going to have a perve on what others have and get a little jealous. read more

If you live close to the Westfield in West Lakes, then it's definitely worth shopping there. But if you have the choice between travelling to West Lakes or Marion Westfield, I would tell you to go to Marion every time. I don't know why, whether it's because I don't shop there often or if because it's built weirdly, but I always get confused as to where I am when I shop here, getting lost very easy. Also, another reason to chose Marion every time is because the cinema there is so much better. Reading Cinema at West Lakes is fine, but the Event Cinema at Marion owns all cinemas. read more

I live very close to Westfield West Lakes. I'm talking 10 minute walking distance, therefore I go there often. In fact I probably go there at least 3-4 times a week. It has had a huge upgrade over the years. I remember when the biggest store we had at West Lakes was David Jones, and now we have a cinema! That's pretty awesome. They've also added a whole new variety of stores, a better food court and the floors look better! Everything is all fancy now, I love it. The best part is they're doing another upgrade within the next few years and the rumour mill is that they're apparently going to be adding another 30-40 stores! Woah baby! West Lakes is going to be pretty sweet! read more

The actual West Lakes shopping center is very good, however, the parking "facilities' leave a lot to be desired! Firstly, you have to enter the center through a boom gate, collect a parking "ticket" & then try & negotiate the sometimes obscure parking access lanes! Before the boom gates etc were installed it was relatively easy to access the center from many sides, & the parking bays were easily accessible, & "logically situated. However, with the advent of the boom gates, many of these access points have been closed or made "one-way", so making it sometimes frustrating to get to where you wish to park! The under-cover parks are all good, the upstairs ("old") parking area used to have "sails" shades for almost all the parks, now only a very limited number of parking spaces are covered. The center does advertise that one can park & shop for up to 3 hours without paying, however, to exit the center, you must use the boom gates & insert your ticket into the machines. I have personally observed many instances where either trying to enter or exit the center has been very poorly handled when the machines or the boom gates do not operate as they are supposed to! I was once on a bus, with another one in front of us, & many cars behind us, all waiting for the boom gates to operate! The buses & (I believe) trucks have a special exit/entry system wherby the drivers do not need to get a ticket--some form of built in identity system applies to them. The time when I was held up whilst the drivers had to stop their buses, exit them manually to activate the gates etc, with a line of other vehicles all waiting behind, was a disgrace! There was never any "need' to "regulate parking"--as Westfield states, so why the necessity to (1), make ALL cars have to get a ticket to allow boom gates to open, then (2) if staying more than 3 hours, having to first pay the fine at a "pay station", then having to form a queue to get out by once gain placing your ticket into the machine to enable the boom gates to rise. Even if one stays for any time less than 3 hours, you still have to use your ticket to make the boom gates rise! The patronage at West Lakes & the nearby other businesses/services in this "block" has definitely suffered since these boom gate etc were installed (at great cost I would imagine!), which has a flow on effect of not having as many paying customers into the shops, resulting in many shops closing, & a number of vacancies in the center! Surely, in this day & age, not what is needed? read more
