Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre

This is my local shopping center and what a facelift it has had in the last few years. They have some of the big names — target, Coles, Safeway, big w. Good Asian groceries, some good eats and a decent kids area at the top.
They also have the cinemas and unlike Chadstone there is a lot of parking and not lot of people!

This is my local shopping Centre as I live in forest Hill. It is quite small but has improved a lot over the last couple of years with an extension for Aldi and it also has a Coles and safeway. The upstairs cinema has had a major overhaul also. I find it covers most of my needs and very rarely need to go elsewhere.

There isn’t anything that special about Forest Hill. Just another shopping centre in the suburbs. It’s reasonably quiet so it’s good for a quick shop

Forest Hill Chase is never really springs to mind when I think of shopping centers. Located in the tiny suburb of Forest Hill, I came here once and was pleasantly surprised at the center.
It was clean and new-​ish, it didn’t feel like one of those old and forgotten places that nobody ever goes to. That said, it was relatively quite in the center– but it certainly didn’t feel forgotten.
Forest Hill doesn’t have a huge variety of fashion stores, there are still a few goodies here though (such as Myer).
Forest hill also have a Hoyts cinema and AMF bowling/​M9 laser strike. My favorite thing about this place is the fact that there is a TGIF here!
I think I would come back if I ever wanted to just wonder aimlessly through a center, without feeling rushed or buzzed like I do at Chadstone. Would also come here just for TGI and Hoyts.

Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre is somewhere I drop into if I am passing by, but it is not somewhere I tend to go to on purpose. While it is fairly big and there have been a lot of upgrades recently, the atmosphere here is pretty non-​existant and I don’t enjoy myself.
One good thing about the centre is that there are over 3500 free car spaces without restrictions. These are spread all around and under the centre itself.
The centre has 3 levels with the topmost (and smallest) being the best. This is the newest part of the centre and has been designed to be a bit of an entertainment hub. It features Hoyts Cinemas, TGI Fridays, Nandos, Timezone, Rebel Sport, The Chase Hotel and JB Hi Fi to name a few. Despite being the biggest hit of the centre, it still doesn’t get very busy up there.
The centre is never really busy so if you don’t like crowds then this place is perfect for you in every way! The average shopper tends to be a bit older although most of the shops seem suited to younger shoppers.
There are a heap of taxis that wait just outside the food court. Bizarrely they are often there during the middle of the day. Bigger, rival centres don’t have this service so this is a definite plus.
