Vaughan Mills

Visiting Vaughan Mills always feels like a fun little trip of its own! 🛍️✨ The mall is huge, clean, and very well-maintained, making it easy and enjoyable to walk around even when it’s busy. The layout is spacious, the stores are well-organized, and there’s a great mix of outlet shopping, popular brands, dining options, and entertainment all under one roof. It’s the kind of place where you can spend a few hours (or an entire day) comfortably — shopping, grabbing a bite, and just soaking in the lively atmosphere. A great destination mall whether you’re visiting from out of town or just looking for a solid shopping day. Definitely worth the stop! 😊🛒

Vaughan Mills is a great mix of well-known brands, outlet deals, and a spacious layout that’s perfect for walking around. The variety of stores is impressive — you can find almost anything, from clothing and shoes to sports gear and home items. Parking is usually easy to find, and the mall is kept clean and well-organized. Navigation inside is simple, and there are plenty of spots to sit and take a break. If you’re visiting with kids, there are entertainment areas that make the trip even easier. Overall, it’s an excellent place for shopping or just spending a few enjoyable hours. Highly recommended!

I love this mall so much I always come here with friends and family. There is so much verity for clothes and lots of affordable stuff too. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for some new furniture, accessories,clothes,toys, or even just some food. This mall will most likely have what you need.

Vaughan Mills is a go-to outlet shopping mall in Vaughan with discount stores from 100+ brands, mainly focused on clothing and apparel. We’ve visited many times and honestly never left empty-handed—there’s always something worth buying before we leave. It’s a closed mall with a simple, easy-to-navigate layout, which makes shopping convenient. One downside is that washroom availability and size feel limited, especially during busy times. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a shopping spree, particularly if you’re looking for outlet deals.

Great Shopping Destination with Lots of Options Vaughan Mills is a great shopping mall with a wide variety of brand outlets and is very easy to explore despite its size. You can find almost every major brand under one roof, and some stores—like Gap—often have better prices here compared to other GTA outlets. On busy days, parking can be a bit challenging, but once inside, the shopping experience is smooth and enjoyable. The food court offers halal food options, which is a big plus. Also worth noting: Tim Hortons is not inside the food court, but there is a Tim Hortons located elsewhere in the mall. Overall, a very good place for outlet shopping, dining, and spending the day with family.

Vaughan Mills is a great place to shop and hang out with family and friends. It’s huge, with tons of stores and all the top brands. Whether you're looking to shop, eat, or just spend time, this mall has something for everyone. Clean, spacious, and always worth the visit!

Large indoor outlet mall that is quite unique in design in comparison to other malls in the Toronto area. Some outlet stores will offer better discounts and clearance products in comparison to the same stores in other malls. It can be tough to find parking at busy times. They only have 4 J1772 chargers which is not sufficient for a mall of this size. Tesla owners also use them instead of superchargers - go figure.

A Great Day Out at Vaughan Mills I recently visited Vaughan Mills, and it was an experience worth sharing! This shopping center offers an impressive array of stores, catering to everything from fashion and beauty to electronics and lifestyle. Whether you're after high-end brands or great deals at outlet stores, there's something for everyone. What really stood out was the variety of dining options from quick bites to full meals, there’s no shortage of places to refuel between shopping. I also appreciated the spacious layout, which made navigating through the mall easy and enjoyable, even during busy hours. Beyond shopping and food, Vaughan Mills has entertainment and family-friendly attractions, making it more than just a retail destination. It’s truly a one-stop spot for a full day of shopping, eating, and exploring. If you're in the area and looking for a well-rounded shopping experience, Vaughan Mills is definitely worth a visit!

Rounding up to 4 stars as it's hard to find a good mall these days. Super spacious mall inside which allowed me to get a lot of steps in. Food court is very large with plenty of nice seating and lots of options, including Chipotle, which is a regular spot for many folks. Smartly located in the center of the mall too. Convenient to have a Shoppers Drug Mart inside, interesting to have a Bass Pro Shops, and newer shops like Miniso. Plenty of parking, plus inside walkways that cut through the mall to save time. There are a lot of random non-branded apparel and accessories stores, which is the state of retail these days. Also right next door to lots of other restaurants and shops in the north blocks adjacent to this Toronto-area shopping center.

One of my favorite malls to visit. There's plenty of parking spots all around but it can certainly be very difficult to find parking if you on a weekend. It's a very big mall with a mix of outlet and regular stores. They have majority of the well known brands like Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, Carters, Micheal Kors, Coach, Kate Spade, Winners, Toys r us and many more. They even opened up a Abercrombie & Fitch which is awesome - no need to travel all the way to downtown! I would say this is the perfect mall, I love it as it practically has everything.

Never liked this mall, the ventilation is not too good. I can smell people's body odour. Washrooms need to be more. We had to walk to the end to get to a washroom. Didn't buy anything and just got out of there.

Great rectangular design This is the most important part; maybe.... DON'T GO SAT and DON'T GO SUNDAY packed and awful; too many people, kids.... Go at 1140 am on a Tuesday Or 210 pm on a Thursday; perfect!

This mall is an outlet mall and actually has a good amount of high end shops available such as UNIQLO, MK, Coach, Kate Spade, & Arcteryx. It was nice to see a big variety of shops available, but for being considered an outlet store, I didn't see big sales/ affordability at this mall. Some stores didn't even have any sales going on, so it confused me on how this can be considered an outlet. I can see myself coming back here to check out if they have any other sales going on in the future, but since it didn't have much to begin with, it felt like it didn't have much to offer.

Big mall with wide hallways. They have almost everything at this mall. Good amount of restaurants, department stores, amd anything in between. Huge parking lot.

I do recommend this mall. Only - you have to know what you want. I find I do better when I concentrate on just one item. And go to multiple stores. It's always crowded. But over the years, some stores have yielded excellent stuff. Today was not my day though. Still. I tried.

They have many great options to buy clothing, toys, bags, shoes/boots, perfumes and home accessories. Right now, due to COVID-19 pandemic, they have limited store capacity, so you need to stand in long lineups, especially for stores like Kate Spades, Michael Kors, etc. The food court area is well-organized and has decent food options.

I've been to Vaughan Mills many times over the years. You can find just about anything your heart desires here, plus there's ample parking. It's a great place to walk indoors for exercise during the winter, even if you're not looking to purchase anything. The worst part of Vaughan Mills is the crowding. People here are not self-aware. They will walk on the right side and the left side, they will take up the entire walkway, blocking others from passing, they'll stand in the middle of the walkway. That was just bearable before the pandemic. Unfortunately, not much has changed during the pandemic. There are signs on the ground now, indicating the direction of traffic flow and that people should stay 2 meters apart. No one follows these instructions. People are just as unaware as before. Per provincial mandate, masks are required to enter and there is security at the entrances for enforcement. However, once you're inside the mall, you'll see the occasional chin masks. Fortunately, there aren't as many people visiting the mall. If you have to come here, I recommend parking at the closest entrance to the store that you want to visit. Get in and get out as fast as you can.

I have been to Vaughan Mills a number of times over the last decade. It has evolved into a decent mall. It is one of the better ones in the GTA. I recently came here to give Dal Moro's a try. It's funny that it was my first time sitting down in the food court to eat. I have always come here to shop first and eat at Pickle Barrel second. The food court is large, bright, and modern. I love the selection of eateries. You are bound to find something that you like. There are outlets where you can plug in and charge your electronic devices. I saw that last night with a teenager charging her iPhone. Pickle Barrel is still here. I have fond memories of eating here either by myself when I'm hungry and exhausted from exercising my credit cards, or with friends after we have shopped up a storm. The selection of stores has improved over the years. My staples are still GAP factory, Fossil, and Old Navy. I love that Auntie Anne's, two Starbucks, and iHalo Krunch are here. I have plenty to discover at this mall, as I don't drop by as often as I should. I can take an entire day browsing and shopping here. It's probably why I don't hit shopping malls as much as I used to. I can definitely shop until I drop. Parking is horrific on weekends. I recommend shopping here at night on weeknights. Parking was great when I was here on a Thursday night. It wasn't all that congested walking around or driving around the parking lot. It was nice and relaxing. You can find decent prices on merchandise, but it depends on where you are and what you are looking for. I tend to get decent articles of clothing from GAP at reduced prices. Hybrid smartwatches at Fossil are at the lowest prices that I have seen in two years. I like it here. I should come back more often. I can certainly get a workout, as it's a huge mall all on one floor and I feel like I am walking laps. (137)

Open today as part of Stage 2 reopening. About 30% of the parking lot was full at 12pm and 50% of the stores were open today. There are lanes for walking in each direction and many other precautions set in place to encourage safe habits such as limited number of people in each store, many hand sanitizer stations, social distancing stickers on the ground, and sun glasses that are designated for cleaning after you try them on. Some of the stores which were closed today: Uniqluo, under armour, bass pro shops, tim hortons, american eagle, guess, puma, eddie bauer, north face, Nike factory, Adidas, Michael hill. Some of the stores with a lineup: lululemon, aritiza, Tommy Hilfiger, urban planet, old navy, champs, foot locker. If you go early, many stores are closed but speed walkers can easily get some laps in!

Vaughan Mills is an outlet shopping mall located in the Toronto area. It is owned and managed by the Mills Corporation who specifically owns managed these super regional shopping malls all over. You might have personally gone to one of the many locations in North America. Being from Dallas originally, I grew up going to Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall all the time. For those from the Dallas area, the correlation between these two malls are very similar just with different types of stores and what not. Building Design: The building design is a large circular donut shape and its regions are divided into areas so for Vaughn Mills, there are 6 regions. It's a great place to go find some great stuff at a fraction of the cost. They have some great outlet stores like Nike Factory, Adidas Factory, Gap Factory, Off Saks 5th, and more! I want to note that the Aritzia was huge! There was also a Uniqlo and the food court had some solid options. There was also some classic Canadian options like A&W and Tim Hortons. Ambiance/Environment: Clean, lots of room to walk and not crammed. Several of the stores are huge since they have so much land to have built on so that's awesome to see. Summary: If you're looking to really find some great bangs for your bucks, this is the place to be. Who doesn't love finding that hidden gem or something marked down twice over ; ) Great place to drop by for a shopping day agenda!

Guess factory Unprofessional staff and rude manager Went there yesterday picked up few pants to try went to change room and waited for few minutes to see if change room attendant will help me , guess what changed room was closed and almost everyone working there saw me waiting but didn't have professionalism and respect to tell me changed room closed. Tried to talk to manager but obviously she ignored me, why are you having the clothing store open when you can't try them on

Vaughan Mills has really stepped it up over the years. It's always been a good outlet destination but recently with additions of a huge Nike store, Nordstrom Rack, A-OK cafe inside Aritzia, upgraded Lululemon - lots of great offerings. Prices are pretty standard for what you'd find elsewhere despite Vaughan Mills being more of an "outlet". It's not quite "outlet" like Halton Hills per se. all in all solid spot.

So much variety of stores under one roof . You can definitely spend one whole day going through every place. Lots of places to eat also . We can always find good deals on every visit. It's over crowded on the weekend so I avoid going on the weekends.

Pretty decent mall to hang out at and shop around. The food court is alright, but not the best choices of food. Outside the food court around corners of the mall, there are much better places to eat at. Or even the options outside of the mall itself across the parking lot. The mall is built in a nice giant oval that is easily walked and could be used to exercise, if you want to. I believe the mall is about 1km long all the way around. If you're going for Pokemon Go, this is a hit place to be at during the winter time! Lots of stops and people playing too. The shop variety is decent but on the higher scale of prices... But not as bad as Yorkdale. There is a lot of parking here too, so not much to worry about unless it's a holiday... Then it gets messy with parking but still manageable.

A shopping mall in Vaughan where you can spend the whole day and not get bored. Plenty of shopping, restaurants and other amenities. Vaughan is located just outside of Toronto so it's well within driving distance for Torontonians and now that Line 1 goes up to Vaughan by subway as well. Though just to note that you have to pay an additional fee on your Presto card to go onto York Regional Transit. The parking is also good with a large amount of parking space. It's also right beside Tuscany Place which has Grazie a delicious Italian restaurant. The mall itself has plenty of options in regards to toys, clothing and home accessories making it appealing to those of all ages.

"I can take you to the mall" is probably one of the sweetest things a guy can say to a girl ;) Vaughan Mills is an outlet mall and it is a great place to shop brand named retailers for a good deal. This mall is a long oval divided into 6 sections or 'neighbourhoods' with a foodcourt in the center linking neighbourhoods 2 and 5. I like having the option to run in and out for my needed items or taking my time walking around the whole mall. Some of my FAVORITE stores here are Banana Republic, Saks 5th Avenue, Charming Charlie, Victoria's Secrets, DSW, Forever 21, Nike and of course TIM HORTONS! Woo hoo! I love Tim Hortons! I also liked their Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World with the HUGE gigantic bears at front... and of course the Pro Life Hockey store with plenty of Maple Leafs jerseys in multiple editions. Since I had to fly home I refrained from going on an epic shopping spree but I definitely loved what Vaughan Mills had to offer. If I was a local I would rather come here for good deals instead of the other malls. A lot of the stores had items 25-60% off!! It was good value. Saving money on one item means more money remaining to spend on more stuff. Yay!

I absolutely love Vaughan Mills because of its huge selection and outlet stores! It can be a little misleading because not all the stores are outlet/factory stores (ex. Pandora), but they do have great discounts! The selection of stores is somewhat similar to Niagara Outlet Collection. They also have free shuttle buses from downtown to the mall! One thing I dislike about this mall is that it's only one floor. It can be a pain walking from one end of the mall to the other. Happy shopping!

Probably one of THE biggest malls/outlets I've been to. If you're planning to go into all the shops, you'll probably have to be in here for a day (or more!). They have everything! Definitely coming here for outlet shopping in Canada. :D

Bigger mall than I expected! I only went for the Uniqlo and it did not disappoint. It was a very good location. The mall is well maintained and organized, each section is divided into neighbourhoods and it basically forms a circle. Very easy to find what you are looking for. You could spend a very long time here if you were in the mood to do some serious shopping.

Vaughan Mills is a huge outlet mall that has over 200 stores and a dozen plus anchor stores including Bass Pro Shops, Best Buy, Nike, Toys R Us to name a few. It has a large food court with enough choices to satisfy pretty well anyone. Restrooms are clean and there's even an Universal washroom and a Nursing Room. I love the flooring as you walk throughout the complex; wood, tile, carpet, etc. The walls and ceiling vary to create a cheery feeling. Overall, a very nice place to visit even if you don't spend a single dime.

Huge, Immaculate Mall with what seems like miles of stores. I used the restroom, and unlike most malls, it was VERY CLEAN. Nice food court with a variety of foods to try, and favorites like Taco Bell and KFC. t is well lit and I saw security multiple times, and it has Plenty of free parking. My only suggestion would be a few more upscale restaurants, and having a cinema would be nice.

I'm a guy. Most of my mall experiences if I'm not just trying to kill time is knowing what I want, parking near the closest entrance, going in, making my purchase and leaving. For a guy like me this mall surprisingly was able to meet all the above criteria (sort of) but it's still something different... a je ne sais quoi. A value type mall? It's not Yorkdale so there's no Tiffany or Louis V here. Seating? Hardly because you're supposed to be shopping, not sitting and loitering. Oh wait there's seating in the food court for sure. I've been to this mall only a small handful of times in my entire life and I pass by it at least twice a month if not more often on my way to visit my in-laws in the city of Vaughan. The parking lot here on any given weekend looks like Yorkdale or Disney World or O'Hare or some other place you may know that has a gazillion cars and parking spots filled. One of the things that continually keeps me away from this mall is the fact that it's very busy. Sure it's very big but damn... I don't think you can close your eyes, stick your arms out and turn around and possibly not hit a single person. There's so little space between each person in the walkways that it just looks and sounds overcrowded. People, they're here in abundance and you may find yourself trying to just simply walk the mall and having to change direction to avoid people texting and walking, children or people walking in the opposite direction altogether. It's pure chaos inside. The food court is large but packed as well during primetime and this mall does very well in the serving hungry people and getting them on their way department. Lots of fast food here in the food court including a Starbucks to keep you humming right along with energy. My reason for stepping into this mall which I normally have no interest in visiting was that I needed to go to a particular store (Things Remembered) to buy a very specific gift for a very specific event. If not for this requirement I'd stay away from this place because really there's nothing I can't get in here that I can't get anywhere else and not have to go through the bother of parking, crowds and overall noise. Tourist spot? Yes, this mall is designated as a tourist spot in that they are allowed to stay open on holidays and such. The Bass Pro store is such a large attraction as well as the mall itself that one time city officials from Buffalo years ago actually trekked up the 400 to see the mall for itself and how it attracts so many people in a plan to revitalize the Buffalo city center. I suppose Bass Pro does that? Anyway to make a long review shorter, I'm going to simply say I was never a fan, I'm still not and I try to avoid this place because although they have things like Nascar and Legoland, the place is like their neighbor across the street (Wonderland)... too crowded.

Recent renovations to this mall have made it more appealing to visit. As others have previously wrote, when it opened close to 15 years ago there wasn't much here. Parking is never an issue as you can drive to either side of the mall and be near an entrance (especially by Bass Pro Shops). The mall can get incredibly crowded on weekends and holidays, so much so that you're trying to maneuver around people instead of choosing what store to go into. Prices aren't that discounted for a place that considers itself somewhat of an "outlet mall". Yes there are clearance sections in almost every store but most of the time this inventory leaves a lot to be desired. Greater discounts and perhaps a better focus on the "outlet" factor would go a long way.

One of the better malls in the area, It's humongous so there is a lot to shop for, catering to all tastes and ages! I have heard many stories about this mall where shops struggle to make their rent, cost, etc...that's why you'll often see store changing spots in this mall more than any other mall, with the smaller stores disappearing and bigger ones taking over! one thing that I would add to this mall is their dinning experience! there is only one restaurant where you can actually sit and dine, plus the food court, which is not in line with all other large malls where you would have many different "GOOD" options to choose from when it comes to dining! otherwise, perfect parking space, great stores, keep it up Vaughan Mills!

I really like going to this mall. Good thing I live a bit far or I would be broke. There is always good sales going on. Yesterday I went to buy tank tops, instead I bought 3 other tops for around $13 each and two tank tops. And I'm always tempted to buy bags. MK and Kate Spades always have very good deals.

Summary: Lots of stores which are all huge, the smallest of which is still a very big store in a downtown mall, the layout actually makes a fair amount of sense, and there's tons of stuff. Those are the pros. The cons are things I think probably won't change and they can't do much about or are not easy changes, but they take away from the experience of the mall. First, the prices and selection on a lot of the things was sub par at best. I have found better prices on a number of items in stores that are not classified as outlets, downtown. Some of the shoes they had at ASICS I have seen at SVP for $30 less. The Champs store had a very good selection of Jordan t-shirts but at a ridiculous $42 each. I know it's Jordan brand, but this is an outlet mall, not Yorkville. Give me a break. I got a couple pairs of shoes at the Nike store, but the prices were on average just marginally less expensive than retail and in some cases not even. The overall selection was so-so, nothing special. Kudos does go out to the Vans store who had t-shirts at a very reasonable 2 for $30 for the logo face, a huge selection of clothing and shoes and friendly staff. I could only get so much due to setting a limit for myself, otherwise would have definitely gotten some stuff here. Worth the trip still, even taking about 1.5 hours from downtown. Some pretty sweet kicks were acquired, so it's all good

Oh Vaughan mills....I still remember when this place opened up. It isn't the greatest mall in terms of selection. I end up here out of convenience... Parking: there's plenty of it but can be a struggle on those busy days. And why not build an underground parking unit ? Location: it's right off the hwy, close to the cinema and other attraction. Layout: I hate the loop around concept. Sometimes you don't have the time to do a full or half circle. Sometimes I go to one store and leave to get back in the car to drive over to the opposite side if I need a store in the other end. Shops: this mall is mostly discounted but you have to go through the merchandise like at winners, fc, bcbg, etc etc and most places have sales on top of sales and if ur smart find those coupons !!!! But many shops come and go and I wonder why some are even there? Food: food court has improved drastically! And because of the loop concept in this mall, there are good and drinks places through out! Lounging: there are tonnes of seating all the way around. Massage chairs, fire places, air hockey, children's rides, and much more. This is good for those who need to take breaks or for those husbands and boy formed waiting outside the store... The mall is constantly improving with new shops and eatery. This mall tends to be open on most holidays too but be carful it can turn into a zoo! There's always ways to cut through like from the food Court and hidden corridors... Have fun and don't text and shop!!!

This mall is one I actually frequent often ... RELATIVELY speaking, as I'm not much of a mall crawler in general. Having said that, I do know my way around here and have been in several times in the last couple of months, so here's my two cents' (or hopefully, votes'!) worth. I'll start by mentioning that this is meant to be what is referred to as, 1. a Destination Mall - one that supposedly warrants using the 400 and whatever other highway you need to use to get here; and 2. a Tourist Attraction - the kind of special mall here in the GTA that is considered worthy of the privilege of being open 365 days a year in order to try and raise more revenue for its tenants. For the purposes of giving a rating, I don't see much difference between whether you think of it as a Destination Mall or Tourist Attraction so, I'll just sum up in terms of good ol' pros and cons. Star earning pros: *It's huge. You can do laps with relatively less boredom than doing them inside other malls when you want to get some exercise, but can't be bothered to go for a real workout either at the gym or outside. The laminate floors are a nice touch for the footsies, and the tons of comfy seating areas all over the mall make it even better when you've had enough - and just want to plop down somewhere that isn't a crowded coffee shop on some hardass stool or chair, and enjoy the 600 calorie Starbucks (or Iced Capp, or gelato, or the tons of other food options) you really came for in the first place. *Above-mentioned food options. You can have a sit down restaurant experience in the Szechuan Szechuan Chinese restaurant, The Pickle Barrel, and, if you consider Aroma Espresso to be in that category, there. You have your Starbucks, Tim Hortons, a pretty big food court, and kiosks that have all kinds of juices, smoothies, gelato, etc. Check out the website for an up-to-date listing. *It has Bass Pro Mills, which makes it akin to MEC or other few-and-far-between chain stores. Also in this category are Hot Topic ... idk what else you would put in this category but again, it's worth checking out the website. Star losing cons: *It is nowhere near as fancy as Yorkdale or Bayview Village if you want high end stuff. Yeah sure you have some outlet versions of stuff ... I think Saks Fifth is the latest attempt ... and upper level stores like Rudsak, Tumi, Michael Kors etc. but again, the selection in these stores is basically what you'd sniff at compared to the locations in Yorkville, Yorkdale, Bayview Village ... and you don't get the real hard-to-find luxury stores like you can at Bayview Village. *High turnover of tenant stores. Don't count on seeing the kiosk that sells the most fantastic cupcake you ever ate, or best threading you ever had for the money, more than once. Stores are flipping and moving often here and IMHO, that's not a good thing. *Dumbass parking closures. As mentioned by another reviewer, the construction and closed parking areas here over the 2018/2019 Christmas and New Year holidays were just stoopid. I'd add that it's always uncomfortably crowded but then, that is what should be taken as a successful thing so, consider that a star-earning pro or star-losing con, as you will. I don't avoid it based on any particular experience and I'll hit it when needed, which means it's fine for an average shopping trip. On the other hand, if I really want to have fun while I shop, I'll easily take other malls over this one instead.

When I go to Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre, I really there to shop or hunting for bargains. I found it is a nice place to have a walk and window shop. The stores are a little different than the other suburbs mall. I usually drop by on a weekday when there is no crowds and easy to find a parking! The store I love most at Vaughan Mills is the Lululemon store there.. because they have a separate on sale area at the back which is the size of some of their normal store! All the items are divided by sizes so it is easy to find something that might fit you and is on sale! :) I like the idea that people can bring their little dogs inside to mall. BTW, most of them are hand carried/in a bag/in a stroller. They all well behaved and never even make a fussy like those human kids :)

Great outlet shopping mall! Has all the grabs you need and all the regular shops also. I've always shopped here for the best deals. Pink, Kate spade, coach, mk, forever 21. A lot of these stores with discounts and great food court options also

0 stars to the security guards and company who are completely useless at this location.

I really love this mall , great food court & plenty of shopping brands , pretty much an endless shopping fest as long as you have money to spend. GREAT DEALS and plenty of different brands for a fun day of shopping

Ick. This place is a circus on the weekend. Actually, this place is a circus up to a radius of about 1km from the mall entrances themselves. First of all, Vaughan Mills is located in the middle of what was already a congested highway and two major arterial roads in Vaughan. The addition of a mall (and subsequent plazas later) only made the intersection worse, and York Region did nothing to upgrade such infrastructure. The mall could also be designed better. Better usage of the land could've been possible if there was more than one floor, as some of the extra space could be used for either more parking, more non-fast food restaurants, or a bigger transit terminal (the current one is terrible, with small waiting shelters). The food court also lacks options considering the size of the mall; at least the Eaton Centre did it right with the Urban Eatery. That being said, it must be noted that Vaughan Mills houses factory outlet stores, so you won't see the newest trends in fashion in here. However that does mean lower prices for ones that are going out. I suppose ladies can't argue with that if they're price conscious.

It's big, has a bunch of stores and discount outlets, a very large food court, different themes, and tons of people and tourists. Yep...It's another of the Ivanhoe Cambridge "Mills." I was at the Cross Irons Mills in Calgary and compared to that one, Vaughan mills is better laid out but the CIM has actual restaurants, better food court, and no PST!!!! Though this location has been around for a while, it is still our go to place when the kids need shoes and clothes. It's also great that after you junk food out, it's large enough to use it as an exercise track and walk it off! Bonus! Get the APP if you like shopping. There is usually sales and promos going on and app can give you details on the best time to get deals. Bring you're best runners or walkers - you're going to need it!

Vaughan Mills is the mall of malls. It's my go-to now. With its sheer massive size with stores ranging from the huge chain stores to small boutiques, there's almost something for everyone. They are always updating and changing their lineup to comply with customer demand, and the mall is kept clean and it's quite modern with the decor. The middle vendors are also interesting and sell seasonal items and "as seen on TV"-esque items that make for fun entertainment. Because it is quite large, stores such as H&M and F21 are huge and offer more items than they do at regular malls. VM is also an outlet mall, so they offer really good deals and sales. If you travelled far to go to Vaughan, apparently they offer coupons for out of towners! Shopping here is either hit or miss for me. Sometimes I make off like a bandit with great deals, and sometimes I huff out with nothing. Overall I really enjoy coming here and the whole mall experience enchants me every time I come.

Vaughan Mills mall is located just off Jane and Rutherford. A huge mall, the parking lot has an endless amount of spots and there is a bus loop, which is cool. The mall has a bunch of stores including Nike, Champs, Pro Hockey Life, LaCoste, a bowling alley, bars, tons of food and quite a few outlet stores as well! When the mall first opened, they had a bunch of celebrities/former or current pro athletes come out. I remember meeting Wendel Clark for the second time here. Danny Fernandes also came round' but I unfortunately missed that. The mall is a great big place to walk in, great for shopping and window shopping. There's always something to buy and always a good deal somewhere!

Vaughan Mills is one of my favourite malls to shop in. With a lot of stores that I love like Dynamite, Sephora, forever 21, Kate Spade, garage and adidas - I can spend hours browsing! I love going during weekdays as weekends are crazy packed and I don't have to wait in long line ups. The food court is awesome, spacious and has some great foods like jimmy the Greek and chipotle. The washrooms on the weekends for women have ridiculous lineups so I definitely think they need to add one or two more. Overall, I love the vibe of the mall and the prices are relatively reasonable as well!

Discount is the name of the game! It can be extremely busy on the weekend, especially after 2pm. We were here on a Saturday for Back To School shopping and there were 20min+ lines for everything. The shops are pretty good, most of them are outlets. There are speciality stores for kids and designer fashions. There are good deals if you take the time to look through the aisles. I found Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off Fifth comparable to Winners. Kate Spade (newly opened) was the only store with a queue outside, all bags were under $150 (70%off). It's better to split up and shop if you're with a group. There's lots to look at, I ended up buying just things for our baby. Although it is generally well kept, the bathrooms near the food court are quite smelly in the afternoon. Very long lineups for everything in the food court, I recommend grabbing a bite in one of the restaurants outside the food court area like South St Burger, Szechuan on the northeast side, and the other snack shops like pretzels and ice cream. For moms - The nursing rooms are extremely small near food court bathrooms, and roomy near the fashion district. There are only 3 nursing stalls, so you will have to wait a bit. Overall, Vaughan Mills is a huge mall with huge deals - you will spend a lot of time browsing, walking, and waiting in line. Try going on a weekday/early morning!

You can't come to this place and be in a rush. People tend to come here just to walk around ever so slowly. The store collection is nothing special either.

It's a shopping mall... but is it also 'something more'? No. It's just a shopping mall. But from the way people talk about it, it's the shoppers paradise in ways that even Yorkdale would aspire to. In fact, it's not entirely unlike Yorkdale in that its layout prevents you from seeing everything in one pass. You need to navigate hallways, and do what you gotta do. But let me tell you - there are three things that keep bringing me back: Bass Pro (only place I get shorts), Lego (because lego), and Disney Outlet (sometimes Tsum Tsums get deep discounted to a buck a piece. Who can resist?) Ohh - and the feeding / changing stations, should you have a new baby? They're pretty posh. And they're right beside the circle of TVs on the ceiling, above the comfy chairs, so those not feeding or changing can enjoy watching a few innings of baseball. That's the life!

Big enough to spend a day. A great variety of stores. Food court has decent options. You can always walk to Rutherford Rd north of the mall since there is quite a few Vietnamese restaurants in the plaza (have yet to try them!) Not too busy when I was here.. on a weekday. Nice facilities, comfy couches and relaxing vibe. Mall can be a bit difficult to navigate but the directory board is interactive and is very convenient. I will go back, probably not on a weekend though.

I'll admit that Vaughan Mills has a good selection of shops and eateries, but if you happen to have mobility or breathing issues, this might not be the place for you, unless you are equipped with an assistive device! The place is shaped like a VERY long oval race track with shops on both sides of the aisles, all the way around. The only way you can get through to the other side without doing a complete lap of the mall is to cut through the large food court located dead center of the building. Unfortunately, I can only handle smaller shopping centers. Vaughan Mills is best for physically fit people who really CAN do laps around this challenging circuit!

Whenever I'm here there's plentiful parking spots and lots of stores to choose from (such as Crocs, Disney, Home Sense/Winners, Hot Topic, Legoland, Lindt, Toys R Us). Can't really bump into people since it's so spacious inside with lots of seating for the tired shopper. One of the best places to shop in the GTA...Even on Christmas Eve if need be.

so far as malls go, this location is pretty awesome so far as malls go. but also doubles as an outlet mall. this mall is always non-stop and packed full of people, to the point where sometimes it is very hard to walk around or through people, even though the lay-out is a "racetrack" design. there are some really unique stores at this mall that are not at other malls. bass pro shops would be the biggest stand out of them all, located facing the 400, it is a definite "oooh and ahhh" moment when driving past it on the highway, or getting off the highway to visit the mall. this mall has something for everyone. can definitely get lost in this mall for a day. it has its own transit hub for the YRT, and even though it has an endless amount of parking, trying to park at this mall, is like trying to walk through the mall at times. keep the guard up.

I remember when this mall first opened and how much hype it was since Vaughan was getting their own mall. The mall is nice, it's a complete circle of endless walking. With a pretty big food court in the center. The mall has all the stores that most teens and adult shop at. And for food it has a good enough selection of options. This mall could have been done a little differently due to my 4/5 star rating, I believe the mall could have been built with two stories, and adding more stores like The Bay, Apple Store, Samsung, etc. Hopefully they add more stores. Overall, the mall is open on almost all holidays and has a good selection of clothing.

The venerable Vaughn Mills located 20 minutes from Toronto and next to Canada's Wonderland, is a great retail outlet extravaganza. After Yorkdale and Eaton Centre, this place is one of the most visited shopping centers in the GTA. It is the largest mall in the York region (1.3 million square feet). It is open most statutory holidays. You don't always find bargains but they are out there for those keen shoppers. They now have the Nordstrom Rack which carries high end brands. Other high end stores are On the 5th, Micheal Kors, Boss, Reitman's, Tumi, Cole Hahn, etc...nothing compares to Yorkdale high end stores but these are outlets.. You have your typical Disney store, Nike, Under Armour etc.. and Pro Bass Outdoor Store. A speed boat to buy any one? Super great place to spend an afternoon watching your girlfriend shop. Sigh...you gents know what I mean. Lol

Nice and big, has all the stores a girl could want. I am a dude so I don't care and it is a lot of walking. The end.
