Outlet Collection At Niagara

always deals to be had at this outlet. My Go-​To shops are Marshalls, Nike, and The North Face. Nike always has a great selection of clearance footwear and clothing, and Marshalls receives shipments from other stores, and has a large selection of clearance. The North Face location is one of he few in Ontario, and I’ve yet to walk out with under $ 600 in purchases. Amazing staff and great prices. Winery inside food court is splendid, and a great selection of Ontario Wine, and amazing staff.

Love this place, it’s a cool and different mall then I’m a custom to, and is very clean and we’ll maintained so far, as a younger male in my 20’s I do find a lack of stores that fit me but not such a lack to turn me away either

Good selection of outlets. We got some good deals at Fossil (watches were 50% off and sunglasses were 70% off!). I liked the food court and cleanliness of the whole facility.
Would stop by here again when I’m passing through to Niagara.

Exactly what you would expect from a outlet mall. I would only ever shop here in the summer. Since it is outdoor the weather really plays a part in your enjoyment of walking outside and shopping.
The deals were just OK. I went to quite a few shops and was hoping they would have additional sales or percentage off. not the case booerns. I ended up not purchasing anything. BONUS it’s close to Niagara and Niagara on the lake so you can always head that way after if you go early enough before the outlet malls get busy.
The food court was pretty on point. Many options and as a vegan it was nice to know I could eat there if needed.

I love a good outlet, and this place was pretty good. I’m a speed shopper now. The mall is dog friendly as a general rule, so I had 2 dogs and a baby in tow and had to move fast. My have place was the Pink Tartan… if you love the brand, you know it’s hard to find a wide assortment in one place. This place has it, and at a discount, can you ask for anything more? Not really. The lacoste outlet left much to be desired. But overall, there was a nice assortment of shops. I didn’t stay long, but definitely worth the stop if you are in the area.

Good spread of shops. I hate the long trip from Toronto but if you’re looking to drop a few hundred dollars on some new gear then you found the right place. I usually hit up the Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic and Rockport stores the most because the variety and value of thses stores is much better than the ones on the American side. I’m hear every season. The food court is pretty stacked too. Plus they’re adding a whole new wing. What’s not to like about the place.

Three stars means that a place is woefully average, or that you will love it or hate it. This place is the latter.
The Outlet Collection exemplifies the total sham that outlet shopping has become– fancy stores with relatively modest or no discounts on merchandise that is out of date or has attracted little interest elsewhere. In fact, many of the stores here (The Shoe Company comes to mind) are no different than there stores elsewhere. A sale at any store would be the same as here.
If you like the destination shopping idea (an enclosed area where you can spend a day and let the kids roam free), you may love this. They have a large selection of stores featuring aspirational brands (Lacoste, Polo, Coach, And M. Kors) and more everyday strip mall offerings.
Parking is plentiful. There is also a food court with a Subway, Big Smoke Burger and a few other lunch offerings.

Such an awesome place to stop at when going to Niagara Falls. Loads of shops that I love and all at an outlet. The food court was nice as well… And although parts of the place were still under construction it still was worth stopping for. The only thing that I found difficult was trying to get to the place. There really weren’t any signs on he highway that directed you to he mall. If you are heading north on QEH if you miss the exit you have to go allllll the way over the bridge and back up again. Kind of annoying… Obviously we made that mistake.

This outlet is not in the actual Falls area — it’s about 15 minutes outside so it’s best to hit it up on your way back to Toronto. This is one of those outdoor concept malls, which in the summer would do well, but if the weather is bad or it;s winter then you will be running from one area to another. Sections are covered (roof) however you will still freeze
They have a ton of stores here — banana republic, calvin klein, nine west, michael kors, kate spade. and the list goes on.
I found that some stores had outlet prices (kate spade had 50% off most items and then an extra 20% your purchase so I got a cute purse for $ 60 incl tax!!), but other stores like Danier only had a small section for sales. Forever 21 is here… but i didn;t seen any additional savings… and Marshalls is here. but the same thing… they were the same prices as in the regular stores. so not sure why they are in an Outlet mall? Anyways, since you will drive by this place heading to the falls you can just swing by for a bit. Perhaps you will get lucky at one of the actual outlet stores.
The food court however is pretty nice — not the typical grungy kind you would expect. They have Big Smoke Burger here!

I can see why this Outlet would be amazing in the summer, with the sun shining, and a light breeze… but the outdoor mall concept just does not fly in Canada. It’s not like California, where a cloudy day with light showers constitutes «bad weather». On this visit, it was –15 degrees Celsius, and we were scrambling from store to store in order to keep our blood from freezing.
The collection of stores themselves were not bad — F21 is not usually an outlet store, since it’s already so cheap. The F21 also did not have a mens section, much to my bf’s dismay. The Kate Spade store had some good sales, with 50% + 20% off many items. The Marshalls also had a good Clearance sale going on.
Overall, it’s a nice stop on the way to Niagara to get a tiny bit of shopping on. A tiny bit. The outdoor concept, again, is much better in theory.

All outlets are the same and this one is no exception. Same stores same discounts same ppl running around store to store. Lol
To be honest, this one is better than the outlet on Lundy Lane because of size and selection of stores.
The only thing about the location is, we the north, have bad weather this time of year and it will be hard to come here during December to March.
Will i come back… probably. If in the area, it will make sense to stop by for some quick shopping.

Outlet Collection is great to visit as a break from wineries, hiking and eating when one is visiting in the area.
I definitely won’t recommend it as a destination. As a savvy shopper, one might find the selection and the saving not worth their while.
But I do like the set up of the mall, Spacious with a lot of open space! Aroma, Tim Horton’s and Even a Starbucks?! Food selection might be weak but there is so many other options in the area!
The stores though not too exciting but every single one I went into is clean and well layered out. And compare to Lundy’s Lane?! This is so much better!
Ample parking but I was there on a weeknight and it was really quiet.
Will I be back? Yes I will be when I am in the area for my winery and brewery one! It is just so conveniently located and I cannot really drink the whole day?! or can I?

Went there on a weekday in mid-​September. The place was not busy at all. I found a parking spot near the mall entrance easily. This outlet mall does look bigger than the one in Brampton; however, there are still not as many stores as I have been expecting. There is noting really special since there are only typical outlet stores, and typical Canadian outlet store product types/​styles and prices. This outlet mall is still new and I hope it will bring in more higher-​end brands.
The Eatery is the only food court inside the outlet mall. It is way better with more and better options than the Brampton’s one. There is a wine store and even a wine tasting place. The outdoor seating area facilitates a fireplace, which is cool for the colder season.
In the mood of Tim Hortons? There is one locating the other side from the Eatery.

Very disappointing outlet mall, nothing new/​interesting, the parking lot is small, the food court is even smaller with limited food choices (long ling up at subway? wow)
nice large sitting area outside the eatery, it’s nice and clean, there’s a roof to block the sun even when you are walking outdoors.
was getting sick from walking in the heat and going inside the AC blasted shops.
Now I know there is NO NEED to ever come back to this place.

This recently opened outlet mall is conveniently located off the QEW on the way to Niagara Falls/​Niagara on the Lake. It’s directly across from the White Oaks Hotel/​Spa. The style is very similar to the Toronto Premium Outlets — outdoor with lots of seating areas. Many of the stores are the same too. I still think I prefer the Premium Outlets (they have the Bay!!). However, the selection here is pretty good too. I didn’t go to too many stores, but checked out Kate Spade and Cole Haan which just opened August 2014, as well as J. Crew Factory Store, L’Occitane, The Body Shop and Lindt. I found the sales were okay — probably not as discounted as what you might find in the US, but there are still some good deals to be had.
Kate Spade — 40% off, then additional 20% off
J. Crew — additional discounts from 30−50% off, plus students get an extra 15% off after that!
L’Occitane — regular ‘classic’ items were only about 10−15% off, but the gift baskets and seasons scents were more reduced
I really like that their food court has Aroma. It’s the best option for healthy eating amidst a bunch of greasy fast food choices. There is a Starbucks opening soon, which I’m sure will make a killing. There is a wine shop in the food court too.
The design of the space is quite nice. Everything feels very open, and there is a children’s playground too. They host Sunday yoga and Friday foodtrucks during the summer. I think it would be less fun to come here in the winter though, since you are walking outside between shops!

So since I was already visiting Toronto I figured I’d make the 2 hour trek to this new Outlet Mall (which boasts to be the largest outdoor outlet mall in Canada).
So what I really like about this mall is the layout. It’s all outdoors, but there are sections that have canopies, so you are not completely exposed to the elements. On the day I went it was 31 degrees Celsius, which is too stinkin’ hot if you ask me. However, under the canopies, it was bearable. There are lots of shaded areas for those who fear the sun like me, and lots of sunny areas for the sun worshipers. I imagine that the canopies also protect you from rain on those rainy days.
There is also a lot of free parking. Yay. And in The Eatery there is a water bottle re-​filling station. Cool!
The Eatery (a.k.a. Food Court) does not have sufficient indoor seating. We wanted to eat there but there was literally no place to sit. They do have outdoor seating, and although it is covered it is covered with a slatted covering, so no refuge from the heat. The McDonalds is across the parking lot in a stand-​alone building. It also did not have sufficient seating. The Tim Hortons is at the other end of the mall in the Guest Services building. The line-​up was huge and the seating situation was the same.
They claim there is free WiFi, but I wasn’t able to use it (I could get on, and it said «connected» but I couldn’t actually go to any websites).
Alright, on to the shopping:
There were no good deals here for me. The prices are not any better than I can easily find elsewhere (however, it’s only fair that I mention I am an extreme shopper, and an «unusual size» (shoe size 5, dress size 2), and thus am often able to find unbelievable deals — we’re talking I once scored a pair of lambskin Cole Haan wedges for $ 36, and a Theory dress for $ 18!).
They have a Not Your Daughter’s Jeans Outlet. While the section is phenomenal, the prices are about $ 45 for a pair of jeans. Compared to retail price this is great. However, I find Not Your Daughter’s Jeans in sizes 0 and 2 all the time at Winners for $ 10-​$ 20. If you are larger than a 2 and feel that $ 45 is a good deal, then you should go here. Their sample size is a 6, so if you are a 6 you will have the greatest selection in terms of styles.
I was so looking forward to going to the Crocs store. If you have normal sized feet you might find some bargains. They had nothing in my size (I’m a size 4 or 5 in Crocs). Normally shoe outlets have lots of stuff at the ends of the size spectrum, which is women’s 5 and 11. Not at this Crocs (or any of the shoe outlets here). Lots of sizes 7 – 10. They had Kadee Wedges for $ 34.99 and everything was buy 2 get 1 free.
Coach Outlet and Michael Kors Outlet: mostly poorer quality «made for factory outlet» stuff. Very few boutique store transferred items.
I think they have the only White House Black Market Outlet in Canada. Petite ladies will enjoy this place. Tons of petite size 00, 0 and 2 (and their petite pieces really are petite proportioned). Prices are not a bargain in my opinion though. However, if you’re short and slim and not looking for hardcore bargains, you’ll find some fashionable pieces here.
I have never seen a L’Occitane en Provence Outlet before, but they had one here. Lots of things on sale, and better than regular retail store sales. Also lots of pre-​packaged gift sets for a fraction of the regular price.
The sales at the shoe stores were good (Ecco, SoftMoc, GEOX, Rockport, etc.). But they had nothing in my size. Lots of sizes 8, 9 and 10.
If you are from outside the Niagara Region, go to the Guest Services desk, and show them some ID and you will get a «Collection Perks» Coupon Booklet. The booklet will give you coupons that will give you an additional discount at some retailers. Discounts range from 10%-50%. They mark it down on a little sheet where you’re from for statistics (which I’m sure they pass along to their marketing department).
So overall, I personally was not impressed, but that is because I am a bargain hunter extraordinaire and not a «normal sized» person. If you are less hardcore in your bargain hunting and closer to the national average when it comes to size, you may rate this place higher than I did.

Not only is this place LARGER than Premium Outlets, but it’s also better designed. They have taken into consideration of planning shaded areas with skylights, pergolas, partial roofs, plenty of seating, an area for kids to play on, a small stage/​performance area, etc. Obviously this is more applicable for the warmer months since this is an outdoor mall!
Store selection-​wise: Personally, it isn’t the best for me. TONS of outdoorsy/​sporty clothing stores like Columbia, North Face, Arcteryx/​Salomon, Eddie Bauer, but less fashion/​shoe stores. Absolutely NO high-​end stores — sorry people, but I do not consider Michael Kors/​Coach «designer». Most people can afford that nowadays, especially when they’re 50%/20% off at these outlet malls!
Would be good if they threw in a makeup store, re: Sephora/​CCO and more clothing stores like Zara… which is never at an outlet.
Despite the lack of selection for me, it’s still a nice space to spend the day or even afternoon. Probably took a little over an hour from ‘ssauga! And patrons/​customers here seem a bit more well-​mannered. No douche drivers in parking lot, thank God! Parking was easy on Friday morning.
Would drive tourists here first before I even think of Premium Outlets!
Tip: FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS! Ok, there were like 5 trucks, but it’s still nice that they had a spot for them… unlike Toronto. Some stuff were slightly on the pricy side though, $ 8 for 2 tiny tacos.

Soooo much better than the Lundy’s Lane Outlets, which make you feel like you’re just wandering through a parking lot! The Outlet Collection at Niagara has some great stores, a nice open air concept and some sweet deals! We avoided going on the long weekend in May since it had just opened and we could only imagine what the crowds would be like. This weekend was also a long weekend but being that the novelty had worn off a bit it was fine. We went early and it didn’t really get too busy until around 2 pm.
I got a winter parka at The North Face for $ 75, a bunch of awesome kitchen supplies and some killer hot sauce at the Hot Sauce Store! The variety of stores is nice: You have your typical– Tommy Hilfiger, Guess etc and some unexpected ones like YaYa&Co, Lindt, and L’Occitane. Can’t wait until Bass Pro Shops an Kate Spade open! I’d also like to see a Sephora in here and a Joe Fresh.
I took a star off for the fact that they need to have more dining options, but I’m sure that will come with time. It would be great to see them incorporate a few patios into the open air mix.
Surprisingly, worth a visit!

Lets see… They are trying to compete US and I think they have come close. The Outlet mall is huge and the shops are bigger and stocked up. Some shops have really good sale and some don’t.
It is an open strip mall but some section are covered. The parking lot is huge and goes around the mall. The washroom were in decent condition but I could not find any water fountains.
Their food court has good choices. Big Smoke Burger is also located here and they do have Halal Chicken Burger.

Large new outlet mall. In the open air style.
Eatery section, which is large, has Imperial Meats, which sells more than meats. Nice looking breads and sandwiches. Bigsmokeburger has a place here. Of course Subway and Sbarro too. Freshly Squeezed for the healthier among us. Aroma espresso, coffee and pastries and salads and sandwiches.
Once you find your food you can sit in a large seating area which has a nice easy traffic flow.
After you have your coffee or snack visit one of the many stores. From Marshalls to Coach to Michael Kors, Hugo Boss (which has a long line today), the Gap, Pandora and so much more.
Nice walking areas with benches here and there to sit on.
While it’s outside walking from store to store some areas have light covering so the rain or winter won’t be too difficult.
Free wifi.
Parking in lots around the facility.
