This outlet mall is a favorite of mine. It is the perfect place to shop when the weather gets warm. I used to take my daughter shopping with me in her stroller when she was little. There is a sidewalk that goes all the way around the mall. There are a few of those ride-on characters that you pay 50 cents to ride which is always fun for the little ones. They have a book store with a small kids section and a Harry & David store where you can always sample a truffle or chip & dip. If your a AAA member, you can get a VIP booklet from customer service with tons of money saving coupons. Some of my favorite shops are : Gymboree, Gap, J Crew, Nine West, Stride Rite, Polo (for the husband), and Old Navy.
This is the closest outlet to my house and we make a trip there at least once a year. The outlet has many great stores with awesome deals!! You can even register online with Waterloo Premium Outlet and receive an additional incentive coupon book to use while you are there. They have stores for everybody from Kids to Adults. There is also a food court, however, it's not very big and the prices are rather steep. I defintely recommend this outlet!
This is a great place to go if you're looking for a day of shopping. It is home to 100 outlet stores and has some great kid stores including Osh Kosh, Little Me and Carters. There's a typical food court and 2 small restaurants. The only problem is that it's an outdoor mall which makes it difficult to enjoy in the extreme heat of summer or the cold of winter.
