Shops are clearly signposted and there are maps located around the centre. There are many security guards around, so no need to worry about pick pocketing. For parents Merry Hill has a creche called Snappers, It looks really enticing from the outside with ball pits, slides and climbing frames. Parking at Merry Hill is free and the centre has electronic signs telling you if there are spaces in the car parks, which i find very helpful. There are also spaces for the disabled and designated areas for people with young children who... Read review
