Visited this outlet mall recently and was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of stores and solid discounts. From big-name brands to smaller specialty shops, there’s something for everyone.

Great Lakes Crossing Outlets is a fantastic shopping destination that offers a wide variety of stores and experiences. During my recent visit, I was thoroughly impressed by the vast selection of retail options, ranging from popular brands to unique specialty shops. The layout of the outlets is very convenient, making it easy to navigate between stores and find exactly what you're looking for. One of my favorite stores was [Favorite Stores], where I found incredible deals and a friendly staff ready to assist. The entire atmosphere of the outlets is vibrant and lively, with plenty of dining options to take a break and refuel during your shopping spree. The customer service was exceptional, and the cleanliness of the facilities added to the overall pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Great Lakes Crossing Outlets to anyone looking for a comprehensive shopping experience. I rate this outlet mall [Rating Out of 5 Stars] stars out of 5 for its impressive selection, deals, and overall enjoyable environment. I can't wait for my next shopping trip here!

I have been to this mall plenty of times and it’s always filled with plenty of great stores, restaurants and attractions for all ages. Loved going w my family to sea life, great experience and lots of cool aquatic life to see. Rainforest cafe is a classic especially for younger kids. As far as shopping goes there’s something for everyone from big brand stores to lesser known ones there’s something for everyone. The food court is great with an assortment of places to choose from. As far as parking goes there’s plenty of room normally you can find a spot with ease. This mall is always well kept and a great stop to bring yourself, a date or even the whole family

I Love this mall! They have several stores, very clean, an arcade, very nice eating area with places for kids to enjoy themselves. This mall is also very good for getting a good walk in since the area goes into intertwining paths to get around.

Sensational place to shop with so many good quality stores and eatries even to mention. The walk ways are very wide and easy to navigate from section to section. Parking is also good with so many options and different entrances. Must say the one store that stands out from our day long visit is Toy Alley in section 3. This store stands out for many reasons. It doesn't seem to be chain store which you can find in many other locations. The toys they stock are all top unique toys you just don't see every day. Something for every age group and many educational pieces. Mack who runs the store is a store owner who cares about his customers and always there to help answering any questions in regards to the fantastic selection you see on the clean organized shelves. You need to make this a stop on your next visit . Like mentioned so many great options at Great Lakes Crossing, but guaranteed to be impressed at Toy Alley.

Biggest shopping mall or outlet in michigan, i believe. . Mall is a very clean it have good amount of store for all ages . It just needs more stores . The food court is decent, but it doesn't have enough food selection to choose from Typical fast food chains With some unknown restaurants. There is plenty of seating for eating .bathroom in malls are pretty clean, depending on the days It has more women store for women than men, but that is how shopping centers and malls are these days It is a good place to shop and get burn calories during winter cold in michigan It has a fish aquarium for kids They have arcade and bowing 🎳 alley for the family If you have kids, it is a great place to come Shop eat play

2nd time to this amazing place.. There are so many stores. It was great to see people out and shopping and not ordering online. Food court has many options to pick from. They even have an aquarium to visit.

Nice outlets with many stores and also a PopMart Robo store as well as a Showcase that sells PopMart Labubu merch. Also a bowling alley I believe. Check it out!

This is a pretty good outlet mall that is totally enclosed so you can enjoy it regardless of weather. Like any mall in America, there are some empty spaces and a few local shops.

I am still a loyal customer here, but I am so sad to see the unsustainability of so many businesses. I was sad to see Forever 21 disappear as well as M Street. It was also sad when Starbucks was not able to keep a counter here in the food court, since that was one of the places I tended to visit. But I will still continue to visit this mall to do my shopping. I know the kids still like to shop here and hang out with friends. We do like Rain Forest Café, H&M, Hot Topic, etc... I like that they have the Lego Adventure, that has been an amazing place in the past, and I did enjoy the aquarium. I just hope they can continue to attract quality stores and restaurants and we will continue to visit as long as they still offer fun places to go.

Huge mall with plenty of shops and plenty of deals. The deals are not that great when you think of deals, but if you catch them while there's a sale going on, you can save some money. It is nice that everything you're looking for is together. Top Golf is right down the street too, so food, clothing, entertainment all in one spot

I love this mall! My friends and I play arcade games for hours at the Round1 arcade. The mall is absolutely massive with hundreds of stores that always have good deals. Primark is an incredible store to visit for high quality clothing for low prices. The food court has so many options! I recommend Sakura Japan for some savory Lo mein. The ice cream place near the carousel is amazing as well. There's so much to do and see in this mall.

When I am here I am in a Time Machine. I am taken back to my childhood when malls were hopping and had available almost anything you could possible need at some store. This is a simply enormous place Almost too enormous. I felt like every few minutes I saw another shoe store. But how delightful that this place exists Also has one of the best movie theaters in the area as well as an Aquarium (!) And like most malls there are plenty of attractions for families to have fun as well as be divested of their hard earned money

An outlet mall inside, makes so much sense. Usually go to Round 1 and Beyond Juicery. Best clothing store is Nike Outlet. There are deals and it can get busy but it's a big loop so you always end up where you started.

Come here Monday through Friday for a stellar experience. I avoid this place (and most others) like the plague on weekends. I love a mall as one of the last "third places" in society, but I digress. In most regards, Great Lakes Crossing Outlets meets or exceeds my expectations. Immaculately clean, mostly handicap accessible, and boasting a diverse range of stores, it's a shopper's haven. The food court offers an array of yummy options, making it a perfect spot for a culinary journey. There's also specialty restaurants if that's more your style. Overall, a top-notch destination for a satisfying shopping experience. YMMV on a Saturday or Sunday though. You've been warned!

There is great shopping at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets with lots of selections. Most stores have good savings off of regular prices. There are not a lot of vacancies like so many malls. The high ceilings, natural light through the skylights, and wide halls make it a fun shopping experience. There are plenty of seating areas, outlets to plug in devices, and multiple restrooms. They get a lot of mall walkers every morning before the store opens. There is a food court with a lot of choices. You are limited if you want a sit down restaurant. I wish those choices were better.

It's a wide variety of stores and definitely worth the experience, the workers there are friendly and helpful whenever looking for a specific store. The quality of the food i've tried there is really no matter from which food area you select. Prices aren't too high in stores the best amount of money you could bring here is $50 depending on what store you go to. Overall love this mall!

i can't believe I've never written a review for Great Lakes Crossing! This is one of the best shopping malls EVER, but only if you love a sale...AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE A SALE?! I've been coming here basically all my life and Great Lakes has only become more and more exclusively outlets (minus the bigger "activity" based businesses like Lego World and that new Peppa Pig one). This place has it all from Shinola and Michael Kors outlets to Forever 21 and Outdoor World! I love the layout of this mall too - it's one giant oval, so if you're planning to just do a lap and don't have any specific stores you're trying to hit, you can literally park anywhere along the perimeter and walk the loop! On top of the shops, there's a food court on one end and a movie theater on the other, tons of restaurants, arcade/entertainment spots, the list goes on! There is truly something for everyone here and it's just brilliant! Love GLC!

Well, they have the most chaotic selection of shoes and clothing, men's and women's mixed with no size order. The workers are just throwing things wherever there is space. Then there's bed bugs, I'm not talking tiny lil guys, these things are as big as a queen ant. I ran out of there so fast and put back what I was going to buy. Nope.

The largest outlet mall in Michigan and it's all indoors! Great store choices; although not as discounted as many other outlets I've been. Love the shoe selection and found my best values at Vans. The food court was HUGE with something to satisfy anyone's tastes. Lots of activities for children; Lego, Tropical Rainforest Cafe and an Aquarium just to name a few.

Great shopping experience. Hands down the best outlet I've been visited. You name it they have it. A to Z. I highly recommend shopping here. Movies! Arcade!

We drove from Windsor, Ontario as friends wanted to check the mall out. Let's start with it's size.....it's massive. We were a little daunted about the size, but it's well lit and expansive. We enjoyed walking the main sections and seeing various stores. We spent about 2 1/2 hrs here. The girls we went with dropped several hundred dollars at Coach and TJ Maxx...however, they were disappointed in Burlington (described it as a war zone mess). All in all, it was worth the drive and I've recommended it to others who have loved it.

Great Lakes Crossing is the largest outlet in Michigan. There are a variety of clothing, shoe, and electronics stores including Guess, Coach, Marshall's, and Foot Locker. The outlets also have a large food court and dessert vendors like caramel Apples, cupcakes and ice cream. There is parking surrounding the outlets. Each area of the outlet is labeled by districts and the entry doors are also labeled to assist with knowing your location. The stores within the outlets are reasonably priced compared to malls with similar stores.

Absolutely love the madness of Black Friday at this mall! It's chaos but somehow still fun and keep returning for many years. Great store options also. They could use more bathrooms and seating areas as it can get easily crowded though.

I definitely enjoy the wide variety of stores that this outlet has, as well as the amazing deals that are offered every time I go. I will say, however, that the mall is not the cleanest, and some of the restaurants inside aren't very sanitary. With all that aside, it's a great place to visit and walk around if you're seeking for an adventure. They have Rainforest Cafe, Peppa Pig, an Aquarium and Legoland.

The mall was busy as it was Christmas Eve, but they did follow the covid regulations very strictly. The stores were abiding Covid rules, hence social distancing and masks enforced. Stores were constantly wiping areas down. Most of the stores were open. For pandemic purpose, most of the main brands limited shoppers inside the store. They made the customers wait outside in a line, as they were limiting in-store occupancy for the square footage of a store. Every top name brand has a store here. The mall was having a lot of good sales. Most of the stores which I visited closed the fitting rooms. They had also closed the children's play area and removed the seats from the food court. Only few tables were there to be used while standing. Clean place and doing a great job covid wise. Lot of good food choices too but most of the stores had closed much before the mall closing time. Over all, good experience on Christmas Eve !!

Pretty big mall. But laid out very intuitively. Very easy to maneuver around and find places etc. Good selection of stores and restaurants. Even a carousel- only $3 to ride.

It's still pretty busy in here given the Oakland edict that all establishments should only permit 50% capacity. Many stores are nearly empty, some stores have already decided to stay closed for the time being. The food court is quite sparse. Many seats have been removed and many tables have signs not to be used in an effort to keep people apart. It's very likely that more and more edicts will be handed down the next week or so. I found myself spacing myself from others as we walked inside the mall. Many stores were nearly empty. It seems many stores are aware of the edict handed down yesterday to allow for half capacity. There were still a lot of kids in strollers and in tow all over the mall.

It's a great area to just walk or look at a huge selection of great quality clothes. They also have an amazing selection of food in the eating area. And in some parts of the store they have amazing customer service.

Stores were great and there were plenty of of nice staff, but one staff member was incredibly rude. This member was a janitor working in a hallwall near the restroom, and she yelled at me and my friends, we knocked on the door of the restroom to see if anyone was in there, and she came up and said "Whats the problem?!" in an INCREDIBLY rude tone, i said nothing because there was no problem, she then asked me said again, "Ladies i said do you have a problem?" in the same equally rude tone, and we responded the same way, she then continued to talk to us in that way so we ended up walking to a different bathroom. Extremely rude and unnecessary, please learn how to train your staff to know how to talk to other people. She was also huffing and puffing after walking past us in a different restaurant room!

As a local who happens to be a truck driver, I was told by security that I could not park my truck in the furthermost part of the vacant parking area, not even to shop or workout for an hour. Therefore I will no longer shop here as a local nor deliver here as a driver and would encourage other drivers to do the same. I feel we deserve the courtesy of at least a 1-2 hour window to park in an empty parking lot. After all were the reason there are goods to be sold here.

If you're in the area, make sure you check out these indoor outlets. We got a chance to check them out today, and there were so many stores to check out it was fun, and this place seemed very popular with the locals too as we saw so many people at these outlets today. Unfortunately lots of them weren't wearing any masks, which to me was crazy! I wished the place had implemented better covid safety protocols, then I would've felt more comfortable and safe shopping there. Or perhaps they could've provided more hand sanitizer stations throughout the entire outlets. Otherwise, this is a fine place to kill time and to check out different stores. They also had a LegoLand and an aquarium here. I also really liked the variety on the food options at the food court - Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Italian, American etc.

We don't come to Great Lakes Crossing Outlets Mall as often as we probably should. It's not that long of a drive from our house. But we don't spend a lot of time at malls generally except for Somerset where we go for computer training classes. GLCO has everything you would expect to find at a mall from restaurants to a movie complex to a large variety of stores, in this case many outlet stores. We have been here in the past for stores and restaurants and even a couple of times for a movie. The mall is huge and refers to itself as Michigan's largest outlet mall. You could easily spend the better part of a day there shopping, eating, drinking, etc. There is plenty of parking all around this oval shaped collection of shops. If you are only planning to visit one or two specific shops, check on line so you can look for parking closer to them.

Size matters. At least when it comes to enclosed shopping malls in Michigan. That's because it gets damn bitter cold in November, and the idea of being outside causes trauma for the inhibited out-of-towner unaccustomed to a Midwestern winter. That would be me. Jamie W. and I had just landed in Detroit, and we were way short on our FitBit steps. Walking inside this expansive outlet mall, apparently the largest in the state, was a smart option even though very few of the 180+ retail businesses held any interest for us personally. Kate Spade and Saks OFF Fifth outlets were so not us and perhaps surprisingly, neither was Bass Pro Outdoor World. OK, that wasn't so surprising. And we didn't hang out at the Cinnabon or Tim Horton's either. But we did get a good number of steps in, and that's what matters. Right? Oh look, 10,000 steps, fireworks!

Great Lakes Crossing Outlets is a nice pit shop while touring the area. I do love shopping at HUGE malls as it is like getting some great exercise while shopping. And the fact all the stores here are indoors, it made the experience better (no cold snowy winter, no hot rainy summer). This Outlet reminds me of Vaughan Mills in Canada which I frequent with the neighbourhood themes. I like how there are family attractions: Legoland, Sealife Aquarium and Cinemas. Just in case you don't want to just shop the whole day? The food court is huge and there are a few sit down restaurants. Check happy hour offerings if you want to get a drink ($3 beers?) If you do come during end of season sale, there are for sure some bargains. A lot of the stores are having 40% off the lowest Clearance prices. A pair of leather dress shoes from Clarke Shoes for $19?! Score!

Its one of my favorite malls just because of everything in it and close by. You can spend an entire day here and night close by. Set up so you walk in a circle, with a food court kind of in the middle, you pass thru districts. Pass by a movie theater, The SeaLife Aquarium, Rainforest Cafe. Lego World. Macys, JcPenny, Outdoor life. Thats already a day. Plenty of shops from Journeys, Foot Locker, Manic Shoes, Vera Bradley, Bath and Body Works, Marshalls, Coach, Under Armour, Clarks, Forever 21, Shinola. Its a great place to get Ideas. It gets crazy busy on the weekends tho. Be aware itll be congested. Santas there in the Winter. Definitly my go to.

My first choice to go to when I want to shop for designer brands (Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Lord and Taylor), shoes (Johnston & Murphy, Nike, Converse, Payless, Sketchers, and Vans), apparel (Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Aeropostale and Banana Republic), leather goods (Fossil & Clarks). For more list of stores, kindly check their website: www.greatlakescrossingoutlets.com More or less a thousand free parking space available. Come early (10am-opening) or late (before 9pm-closing) to get the best spot. After shopping for a few hours ;-) makes me hungry. We go to their food court to dine in. There is my favorite Bistro Thai, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Subway, A&W. If you are not into fast food, elevate your dining experience at Rainforest Cafe, Johnny Rockets, Miyako, Kerbys and Bar Louie. Outside the building, there is Mcdonalds, On the border and Shake Shack. Restrooms are crowded during peak hours. Bring your trolly bag if you plan to buy a handful. But you can always rent a trolly for $5-$10, located at the main entrance and scattered around the mall. Great Lakes Crossing is my go-to place for good quality items in bargain price.

Definitely a nice mall with plethora of wonderful brands to shop. I went here to check out Shinola. Apparently the outlet does not have jewelry other than watches. So if you are looking to purchase jewelry be sure to check out their other locations. The mall itself is nice and clean. The stores are separated by 'districts'. One can cut through a hallway where the bathrooms are located to get to another side. There is plenty of parking and there is a bus drop off/pick up area as well. A lot of the retailers have good deals around the holidays. Plan on making this a day trip since there are many options.

A fantastic outlet mall that quite lives up to its name of being the largest in the state! HUGE selection of stores - I've always been happy with the stuff available and the prices of course are fantastic. The food court is pretty good, there is a Mediterranean counter that opened recently which happens to be my personal favorite. And if you want to keep the littles engaged there is a beautiful carousel and kids play area. Weekends are crazy busy so plan your visit if that's a deal breaker. Overall it's a great indoor outlet mall with most big brands, decent parking and decent eating options. If I had to be picky I'd quite like a few sit down restaurants in or around the mall!!

Of course I showed up to the mall on probably the busiest day of the year, Black Friday. We got there mid morning, 10ish and found parking pretty easily. We parked near the movie theatre and since it wasn't open we had to walk to another entrance. The mall wasn't as busy, must have got there in between the early morning shoppers and those who wanted to wait a little longer to venture out. It was hard to people watch because of the sheer volume of people inside the mall. We found some decent deals. And avoided the food court as much as possible.

Malls are going the way of the dinosaurs, they are becoming extinct. However, they must be doing something right at Great Lakes Crossing as every time we visit Michigan we come here and there is always a lot of people! The place is large and has all the big and small store favorites, so there truly is something for everyone. So if you can't find something you want here then you are not looking hard enough!

If you seen one you've seen them all. Sorry everyone but this mall doesn't fall under this category. Great location, plenty of parking, high and low end shopping, cafe's and restaurants, movie theatre and lots of play areas for the little ones as well. I can honestly say you will lose yourself in this mall and love it. Plan on spending the day if you can and never be board, yet you'll get that workout in because this place is huge. Plenty of staff to guide you through the maze of stores. The place is clean and there are plenty of bathrooms and drinking fountains while you try and work your way through the shops. The food court has about 40 places to choose from and the play area and carousel is located in the earring area so you can watch the kids while you eat or drink your favorite drink. It's a winner choice and I'll put my stamp of approval on it.

Extremely disappointed about how they handled the holiday season traffic. I was there the day after Thanksgiving, and it took me a staggering 2 hours just to exit Great Lakes Crossing Circle. It's evident that this mall struggles to manage traffic when all parking spots are occupied. In times of emergency or during the holiday season, there are only four exits available to leave the mall, and each exit is limited to a single lane. There would be a more serious disaster if they don't come up with an effective emergency plan to guide traffic.

I absolutely love this crazy, fun, and easy to get lost mall. The crazy busy atmosphere has me walking into stores I have never thought about before, finding great quality clothing for super super low prices. I used to come to Bass Pro Shop almost every weekend with my brother-in-law because it is his favorite store. Eventually, I ventured out into other stores and was amazed of the deals I found. I was paying full prices for clothing and shoes, while the outlet has them way cheaper. The same exact item for cheaper, hard to beat. I am a money saver, so I love a good bargain. They have all different kinds of stores for everyone here. They also have great dining options here, or quick bites. I love the pretzel bites withcheese from Auntie Anne's or Starbucks to keep me energized. They have different options for everyone. I highly recommend stopping in and utilizing these amazing deals, especially around the holidays

I worked at this mall for 7 years and have been coming here since it was ever opened (including when it wasn't an outlet mall! Though I hated working here because retail is a monstrous industry, the mall itself is a very nice mall and I'd consider it my home since I've spent so much time here. It's crazy to see how it's evolved over the years, I mean, massive expansion in the area and when it became an outlet mall, people from all over the world come just to go to this mall. With that being said, here's some advice: don't go on the weekends if you can avoid it. It's the busiest time and you'll have people packed walking everywhere and into toy with no regard for others. Very loud and chaotic on the weekends and not good if you have anxiety or another disorder. It makes it very stressful for me personally. Best time to go is during the week and never during the holidays. You'll be blocked in a loop around the mall for at least 2 hours trying to get out. It's madness. Overall it is a great mall. Great layout since it's a loop to go around rather than spreading in every direction, it's really easy to find where you need to go. I am sad that some of the good stores are closing and being replaced with lower quality stores like legging stores and weird toy shops that don't really sell much, but I get it. Online has taken over the world. If you remember coming here as a kid when Jeepers was around (where Legoland is now), those were the good days. (I'm 26 now so not very old, but it was classic for kids my age at the time!) I'll always love this mall even through the chaos, and even though you can't pay me any money to work in the madness here with the mass of people, it's always good to come for a visit. P.S. Don't fall for the "holiday only" sales, they're 99.9% of the time the same price as they are every day...365 days a year. I worked at a clothing store here (not naming) and they tricked customers by saying 40% for Black Friday but really you can get the 40% off every day since it's the outlet version of the store. Most of the stores do this so keep that in mind before you freak out over what they advertise as a deal. *Don't look at my review I left years ago, I was mad at the stores I worked at and all the rude aggressive people who come here and act like they own the place. The sex trafficking statement is true though, my 15 year old coworker at the time and I were approached by traffickers and if you read the news online, it's true. Be careful in the parking lots and don't be alone here at night

Nasty dirty carpet where you eat. The tables are sticky and dirty. THE MENUS ARE DIRTY WITH FOOD ON THEM. Under tables food. French fries crayons If the dining room looks like this don't eat the food, and the kitchen is probably worse. They can't find someone to vacuum up the food under the tables. Who wants to sit where food is under your shoes? I came with a group of people, I WILL never come here again. NASTY NASTY, DIRTY DIRTY. FOOD UNDER THE TABLES DON'T EAT HERE. CLOSE THIS UP UNTIL THEY FIND CLEAN-UP PEOPLE TO VACUUM UNDER THE TABLES.

Good deals, came here on a Saturday and it was busy but not too bad. Good options for stores with great deals. Food court was alright - has a giant play area in the middle for kids.

We arrived at 10:40 on a Sunday morning but the stores don't open until 11:00 on Sundays so we decided to get some brisk mall walking in before the stores rolled up their gates and opened for the day. Bed, Bath & Beyond opens at 9:00 though ~ and there's always plenty to look at there while waiting for the other stores to open. The mall seems to be keeping a nice assortment of stores, which is awesome. It's clean and well maintained. There is something for everyone in every age group as far as stores and restaurants, movie theater, and even in the vast food court.

The biggest mall outlet I've probably.. ever been to? Or maybe the second biggest, idk. I have been to a few in Cali so I can't say for sure. But I was amazed at how many stores they have and how much parking there is. This place would definitely be good to spend the day at if you have many stores you plan on going to. You can go to one place where everything is just together. I think I saw Ross or marshals in there too, it's crazy. I was honestly amazed and I'd come back here 100%. Even if it's an hr or so drive.

My normal go to shopping location since I live so close. I like that it's indoors, flat and has ample parking. It's crazy right now because of the holiday season. The only real negative is trying to leave. I feel like they need more exit lanes. It didn't help that there's construction on Baldwin road. There's plenty of places to eat if you need a bite to eat. There's also legoland, rainforest cafe, aquarium, carousel and Santa for the kiddos. There's plenty of shopping to be done here so come on out!

It's a very pleasant outlet. There are tons of shops in here and make sure you wear comfortable footwear. You'll be walking for miles and miles and miles. Well, not really, but it's easy to spend the whole day just shopping around and checking out items you might buy in the future. From brand name items to discount shops, they're all pretty much under one roof. I'm somewhat of a brand junkie, so I always check out my favorite shops here. The best thing about it is that I don't have to be exposed to the elements to go from one shop to another. Comfortably airconditioned in the summer time, and nicely heated in the winter time. If you're tired of walking around and you need a bit of a break, stop by their food court area. You can definitely get your grub on while recharging your swollen doggies from walking around all day. Their facilities are easily accessible and are kept impeccably clean. There's a new aquarium as well here for the kiddies. I still have yet to check that out. Thank you GLC! I'll see you again next time.
