Parents will enjoy the great deals on everything from pottery to kitchen gadgets, gourmet foodstuffs and linens. Sports fans will enjoy the sports shop and foodies the kitchen shop and gourmet and Virginia brand areas. The outdoor atmosphere is nothing fantastic, and parking is in a rutted lot, but most of the buildings are air-conditioned and relatively comfortable. Kids will quickly lose interest, except in the christmas shop and the toy section. Just like outlet shopping, maybe limit yourself to a couple of hours each over two days, adding fun activities afterward.
Definitely worth the trip for those who are looking for pottery and tableware, this factory offers 200 acres of pottery, fine china, glassware, stemware, baskets, silk flower arrangements, toys, brass, and crafts in thirty-two buildings, all at discount prices. Be sure to browse some of the other outlet shops here including those selling designer clothes, shoes, and appliances. There’s also a restaurant.
