Greenstone Shopping Centre is a regional shopping and entertainment mall at the corner of Modderfontein Road and Van Riebeeck Avenue, Greenstone Hill, Lethabong, 1609, South Africa. Opened on 25 April 2007, it combines more than 150 stores and restaurants with bowling, trampolining and other indoor activities. Travelers visit for practical shopping, family entertainment and an easy meal in the Edenvale–Modderfontein area.
What to Expect at Greenstone Shopping Centre
The original development occupied approximately 75,000 square metres on Greenstone Hill, with an airy, light-filled interior designed around comfortable everyday shopping. Today, Checkers, Pick n Pay Hyper and Woolworths anchor the retail offering. Cotton On and Mr Price cover accessible fashion, while Clicks and Dis-Chem are useful for toiletries and pharmacy needs. This is a working neighborhood shopping destination rather than a specialist souvenir market: its strength is combining groceries, clothing, household purchases and meals under one roof.
Entertainment gives the centre more staying power than a quick shopping stop. The official entertainment directory lists The Fun Company in shop L043, Rush in L104, Supreme Karting at Ent 2 P and Galaxy Bingo upstairs in U092/93. The Fun Company offers bowling and arcade-style entertainment; Rush adds active indoor play. Indoor padel and pickleball also feature in the centre’s current offering. Choose your main activity before shopping so that bulky purchases do not accompany you through the entertainment areas.
- Everyday shopping: Checkers, Pick n Pay Hyper and Woolworths make grocery and travel-supply stops straightforward.
- Bowling and games: The Fun Company provides a competitive alternative to another afternoon browsing shops.
- Rush trampoline park: An indoor activity option for energetic family members; book directly with the operator.
- Supreme Karting: A separate entertainment operator, worth contacting ahead about session availability and participation requirements.
- Connected browsing: The centre advertises 180 minutes of free Wi-Fi, useful for coordinating pickups or checking onward plans.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Arrive around the 9am retail opening for a shopping-first visit, but check entertainment opening times separately before bringing children specifically to play. Reserve your chosen activity directly, especially when organizing a group, and ask about age, height, clothing and equipment requirements before paying. Drivers should photograph their parking section and entrance number. For a ride-hailing pickup, agree on a particular entrance rather than simply entering the mall’s name. Check parking tariffs and validation conditions at the entrance before leaving your vehicle.
The centre documents wheelchair facilities, accessible toilets and baby-changing facilities at every bathroom. Wheelchair and stroller users should ask centre management for the closest accessible entrance and route to their chosen shops. Nearby pairings include Stoneridge Centre for another shopping-and-dining stop and Greenstone Hill Office Park, which has a coffee shop and outdoor seating. These are short local outings: allow approximately 5–15 minutes on foot, depending on your exit and destination, and assess road crossings before setting out. Choose a short drive if the pedestrian route feels uncomfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the opening hours, and when should I arrive?
The centre’s published hours are 9am–7pm Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm Saturday and 9am–5pm Sunday and public holidays. Arrive at opening for a shopping-led itinerary; confirm separate entertainment hours before planning around an activity.
Do I need tickets or reservations?
No ticket or reservation is needed to enter the mall. Bowling, trampolining, karting and court bookings have separate charges and arrangements. Follow the official centre directory to contact your preferred operator for current prices and reservations.
How much time should I budget?
Allow two to four hours for browsing, lunch and one entertainment session. A targeted grocery or pharmacy stop can be much shorter; combining several activities is better treated as a half-day outing.
Is Greenstone suitable for families and wheelchair users?
Yes. Family entertainment, baby-changing facilities, wheelchair facilities and accessible toilets support mixed-age visits. Ask management about the most convenient accessible route, and discuss individual participation needs directly with activity operators before booking.
