One word can best describe Dix-30: overrated. It's a massive shopping complex just off the island in Brossard. Unlike your typical shopping mall everything is accessed outdoors which in winter is unpleasant. It is also spread out over a massive area so getting between stores can mean a long walk which I don't mind when the weather is nice but when the weather isn't cooperating it becomes more of a bother. Of course you can always get in your car to drive from one area of Dix-30 to the other but the parking lot is often a zoo and finding a space isn't always so easy.
They have a good selection of chains but I find I can often satisfy my shopping needs elsewhere so I tend to avoid coming here especially if all I really want to do is browse around the stores for a while. That being said the Cineplex here is my favourite theater simply because they have the VIP theater so I will make an exception for that. Everything else though? I'll go elsewhere.
