Mega Planet

Mega Planet is a shopping and entertainment centre at 2B Ahmad Donish Street in the northern part of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and is described as one of the city's first modern malls. It combines retail with leisure, and the specialty listed for the centre covers fashion, electronics and family entertainment. The tenant list centres on clothing and footwear stores, electronics and mobile phone retailers, cosmetics, children's goods and homewares, with Uzbek and regional chains alongside international labels. Goods are factory-made and branded, so there is little in the way of local crafts, and visitors seeking handmade souvenirs are better directed to the Old City bazaars. Prices are marked and not negotiated, and seasonal sales can bring reductions. Cards are widely accepted at larger stores, with cash in Uzbek som still used at food counters and small kiosks; no dependable tourist tax-refund scheme exists at the till. Hours are daily from 08:00 to 23:00. The atmosphere is family-oriented and busiest at weekends and in the evening, when children use the entertainment areas and groups meet in the food court. Eating options include fast-food counters, Uzbek and international dishes, cafes and a food court, so a meal can be combined with shopping. Because the mall sits in the north of the city, it is usually reached by taxi, ride-hailing app or local transport, and it suits travellers staying in that area or looking for electronics, clothing or a rainy-day family activity. Visitors can find details on the mall website at mega-planet.uz or by telephone on +998 71 129 31 31. A typical visit lasts one to three hours, depending on whether the entertainment and dining areas are included.
