Great Lakes Crossing Outlets

Wow!! This mall is very much thriving and packed full of great stores! This mall is what every mall in America should strive to be. The mall is very modern and architecturally fascinating inside, has a huge food court with a carousel, and the layout is very easy to follow along to see all the stores. We walked the entire mall and stopped into many stores, I dont think I saw any empty storefronts and if I did it wasn't many at all. Every mall store you expect to see is located here, and more! There were lots of stores I haven't heard of before and they were all very clean, bright, and modern. Nothing was run down here, way to go!! Highly recommend shopping here, especially since its full of outlet stores where deals can be had!

I had a wonderful experience visiting this outlet mall in Michigan. It is very large and has a wide variety of stores, including popular clothing brands, shoes, accessories, and electronics. There are many great deals and discounts, which makes shopping here even more enjoyable. The mall is very clean, well-maintained, and easy to walk around. Everything is organized nicely, so it’s simple to find the stores you’re looking for. There are also many places to sit and relax. One of the best parts was the games zone. It is great and amazing, with many fun activities. It’s a perfect place to enjoy and have a good time with friends and family. I also liked the food court because there were many food options available. Parking was easy, and the atmosphere was safe and welcoming. I would definitely recommend visiting and would love to come back again.

One of the coolest malls I've been to in a long time. It would definitely take a weekend mon-sun early in the morning till they close depending on how long you spend in each store unless you know what you want but even then you can't help but to want to stop in places on your way too or from. Best mall around hands down.

They had some incredible deals, and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. The whole outlet area feels lively and fun, which makes wandering between stores really enjoyable. There’s a nice mix of dining options too, perfect for recharging before hitting the next store. Customer service everywhere was excellent, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained, which just made the experience even better. It’s one of those spots where you can shop, grab a snack, and soak in a fun, upbeat atmosphere all in one trip. I left with a few great purchases and a smile on my face. Definitely making this one of my go-to outlet destinations whenever I’m in town!

This place was fun to visit . A little bit of something for everyone. Haven't visited a packed mall in many years. I recommend Toys r Us and Sully's if you get a chance.

While I was in the Detroit area, decided to visit this mall and was very pleasantly surprised. The mall has a large variety of different stores, many being discount outlets with good deals on their products. There was a large food court with a variety of restaurants and there are even some snack and food stores scattered throughout. Plenty of parking and very clean too. Seems to be a thriving mall and is great compared to others these days.

This mall blew me away — it’s honestly the biggest one I’ve visited yet! There’s a crazy mix of stores, restaurants, and other attractions, so you can easily spend hours just wandering around. My family and I went to Sea Life while we were there, and it was such a cool experience — definitely a highlight of our day. I loved that the mall isn’t just about shopping; it feels like a full-on adventure. Between exploring the shops and checking out the aquarium, we didn’t want to leave. It’s the kind of place that makes a regular day feel like a mini-vacation. I’m already planning my next visit.

We were looking for a dance dress for my high school teen, there were plenty of stores to try, but Windsor has the best selection of all! The staff was helpful and personable. A large place to get your walking in! With a lot of food options! The best indoor place for entertaining kids.

This outlet mall is great. It is very large and has a large variety of shops for different shopping needs. The prices are very reasonable and the employees at most stores were great. My favorite stores to shop here were: Just Cozy, TJ Maxx, Burlington, and The Nike Store. All of these stores had items that I needed and all of them had a large variety to choose from. Many of these stores also had great sales and specials. They had a Winter Wonderland setup and Santa Claus was there for photos. I also appreciated that they had Christmas Carolers from a local church group singing live here. The food court was not good. We had a family member get sick from the Japanese food place, so please be careful. The variety in the food court is also a range of different options, which was good. This indoor mall is now my fave here.

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.

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.

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.

Mall is dirty and outdated. Food court is slow on food service. Stay away from Sbarro. Worst customer service and employee are useless. Everything closes early

The service is kind, fast, and simple! Selection items are good. The food court is great and my favorite part of the mall. Value is cheap and simple aswell. I have to right another review about this mall for a reason. Today, as i was playing in the play place, a kid kept pushing kids off the bridge, pulling kids, and he also kept choking kids, i am very disappointed in the place place as there is always problems. So, i have a suggestion. Staff, please supervise the play place area and kick kids out the play place if needed. His parents weren't there or ignored the situation obviously, so that made me concerned. I was also pushed by this little kid. Please increase supervision,thanks your understanding!

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

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

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.

Normally I go to a mall often and shop but this every time I'm there is truly an experience feels like a vacation

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!

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!

Love all the different stores and deals. If you have kiddos, take your own stroller. The ones they have for rent are down right filthy.

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!

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.

Best mall I've ever been to. Huge selection of stores, fast service always, and an incredible food court. This place is so cool and large! Busiest mall I've seen since 2018. Great place!

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.

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 !!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! RELATED - Are you coming to Michigan? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: bit.ly/2TghclT

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Great place to take the kids for back to school clothes shopping and to get a great deal on Christmas gifts!

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.

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.

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.
