Vaughan Mills

I really hate the layout of the mall which is why I hardly come here. It takes FOREVER walking around it. Why couldn’t it be two levels instead? It’s great there are all these stores though. Vaughan Mills pretty much has EVERY store… though it’s mostly American companies.
I’m mostly here for Lululemon only and I’m thankful there’s always a parking spot around that exit whenever I’m there. Love their sale section.

I come here occasionally to hunt for deals and browse around. It’s a bit of a drive from home and this mall gets madly busy on weekends too.
Its hit or miss. Sometimes I can find some really amazing deals at the outlet stores, sometimes I can’t find anything good.
The lego store has some good stuff at times. I love the fossil, banana, Tommy, Disney store, crocs etc

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!!!

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.

Well I must say, this mall is one of the best malls to go to just to even walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. They’ve added some new stores since I was there last and it has a great variety.
Firstly, I like that the store are kind of categorized by entrance number… for example, one side might be group for athletic stores, then the children stores are kind of grouped together and the higher end brand name stores are roughly grouped together. This makes shopping easy if you don’t want to walk around the whole mall. It might not be really grouped, but it was something I noticed as I walked from store to store.
Also, I find stores are limited for myself as I am a plus size girl and it was hard to find things I liked for my size. The stores that I know that have plus size or XXL are Old Navy, Winners, Forever 21, Torrid and H&M, might be more… I just find plus size clothing is so limited for the size of the mall. It might just be me, but I have not been feeling the selections of clothing offered at the stores in Vaughan mills… oh well, it is what it is lol
I don’t come to this mall often as its not the closest one to my house, but it’s a good place to go to when I want to get out of town and walk around.

Outstanding mall for store selection and appearance, definitely worth the drive from Scarborough for the occasional shopping adventure. Haggar and Van Heusen are my go-​to places for clothes, the next closest location for these stores is the outlet in Niagara.

SAKS FITH AVENUE OUTLET IS COMING TO VMILLS!
The new expansion is amazing!
So many new stores like Victoria’s Secret, Saje, Chipotle in the food court and more!
This mall is becoming super classy!
I love to just come and walk the mall and browse!

I love this mall and I hope it is closer to home :(
The last time I was here was maybe about 5 years ago, and today (Wednesday evening), I decide to check the new expansion!
Obviously on a weekday, parking is perfect. The mall wasn’t busy at all.
It took me about an hour to walk through the whole mall with some stops to browse.
I did not really find any good deals. I assume you would have to look hard to find any good ones. But really I wasn’t here today to shop, but to waaaaalk and get some exercise!
I love this mall! It’s clean, there’s lots of washrooms, places to sit. Vending machines. Huge foodcourt with lots of choices! Over-​all a really good mall to go to on the weekdays.
Review 7 of 100

It is my favourite indoor shopping mall after their renovation and expansion. I can spend whole day here if I really need to kill time or hanging out with a friend indoor. However, I will make sure I don’t come during the busy weekends and holiday seasons!

One of the worst malls I’ve been to and its all because of the people who go here. Its always crowded with families and strollers. Slow, inconsiderate walkers. Parents let their little shits uncoordinatly walk around and get in peoples way. The food court is always crammed with confused morons taking up space for people to walk through. To get from one side of the mall to the next using the food court is almost a mission. People are so inconsiderate and if you want proof, visit this mall anytime after 4pm. Weekends are the absolute worst. I feel for the food court workers and custodians.
Really good stores and parking isn’t bad in the evenings but I just can’t with this place.

Hmmm what to say about this mall? As many people say, it is similar to a mix if outlet and regular mall and has most of the stores. They have everything from a bowling alley to Legostore to lots of men’s clothing so there is something for everyone.
My favorite thing about this mall is that it is the best for a nice stroll because it is HUGE and you can spend a good 20m making a brisk circle around the place.
Store wise, prices range from low end to a few higher end. Definitely take a look at the map because some ‘zones’ have certain types of shops so that you can direct and make your experience here easier otherwise it is overwhelming.
Pros
— food court nicely situated in the middle
— largest lululemon sale section I’ve been to
— has holt Renfrew last call
— has many shops for men which is good so they don’t get bored
— great walk
Cons
— parking is a bit of a mess
— not enough food court seating
— nothing else in the area
— some stores I wish they had the regular version NOT outlet (like banana republic. Their outlet clothes are different than regular line)

Great mall with a ton of outlets, but one thing I hate was that today the reception in the mall was NOT good. So hard to call people. Not sure if it’s like that all the time but it’s so annoying!

O CANADA, YOU TRULY HAVE A TON OF LAND. I’ve never seen such a HUGE shopping mall. By HUGE I mean, it covers up so much land, because Vaughan Mills is only 1 floor. WHY?! Then Boxing Day comes and the parking is FLOODED. Why can’t we build upwards? Build an indoor parking lot, build two floors of the mall, leaving more parking space?
I must say, I like Vaughan Mils a lot more after they did the renovations for 4a entrance. The mall was cleaner and really quite beautiful, especially during this time of the year. CHRISTMAS! Definitely come early if you want your Santa pics, there was a MASSIVE line. I swear that line goes for an hour or two at lease.
Anyways, besides the Environmentally Friendly part of me who wants to explode for this mall taking up so much land (though not too many resources — no need for an elevator or extra lights, etc), this mall is completed with what fills like three hundred stores. Almost all sporting stores are here — Nike, Adidas, Puma. The Food Court is ALWAYS filled, though I’d like to comment on the cute little mini couper car tables. The Bass Pro store is massive and absolutely beautiful selling all the possible outdoor products that you can dream of. The layout of the store is pretty good, with the more costly items more on one section of the mall. You won’t find all of the top brand names here though, I think the more pricey stores include Lacoste, Michael Kors, BCBG, designersDepot, etc.
Come here if you would like to walk in wat I think is Canada’s largest mall in terms of «land covered» area.

I’d say this is one of the better malls in the GTA. It’s a great big outlet mall with different sections reflecting different items and stores. I like the fact that this is a one level mall, and walking in one direction will lead me back to where I came from, without passing the same stores. I also enjoy how the food court (which recently had a facelift) is smack dab in the middle, making it easy to cross the middle of the mall.
This mall is really pretty, after the major renovations. The new section is bright, and overly excessive with the circle of flat screen tvs on the ceiling. A lot of the other parts are dark and drabby, but not ugly. NOW– my favourite part. let me tell you the reasons why I come to vaughan mills:
— CHIPOTLE! Yes, it opened here. Yummy guacamole baeritto bowls in my tummy. YASSSSSSS.
— Nike factory outlet! YES YES YES!!! If you ain’t looking good at the gym, how can you feel good and do good on your workout? Sales are amazing and I’ve definitely spent too many paycheques here.
— HR2 Holt Renfrew! It’s like holts, but a warehouse section. Yes, true, there aren’t always nice products here but when there are, you can definitely catch a great steal.
— H&M. One of my favourite H&M’s. The items are different for some reason, and cuter. Checking out is hella slow though.
— Legoland, DUH! Yes I am a kid at heart, and I bet y’all are too. I love lego keychains and lego sets, although I’d never have the patience to build one and probably die from stepping on them first. Still looking for a kid to take so I can get into the actual lego land! I mean. for your child’s enjoyment of course, not mine. achem
— LaSenza! Not getting enough support from your loved ones? Get huge, squishy, comfortable, extra support with these amazing bras. It’s under construction right now because it moved, but gaaaah. Amazing and cheap deals here, always
— Urban Planet! It’s not as ratchet with horrific quality anymore. It’s huge and often you can find cheap trendy clothes here that won’t fall apart after a wash.
So, yes. Vaughan is a great mall and I’m pretty much always down to come here and waste time and money. It’s also YRT accessible, since there’s a terminal RIGHT there, so it makes it more convenient.
Ps. anybody remember back in the old days, after wonderland where you’d make the trek to vaughan mills for food & then bus home? Good times. #throwbackthursday

I can’t get over how much Vaughan Mills has improved over the years.
I’ve been coming since I was little and am very impressed with all of their changes.
I used to come here constantly as I worked very close by and when I had two jobs would often come here between shifts. Let me just say– shopping alone is therapeutic!!! But also quite dangerous because you don’t have a partner in crime to cut you off when your spending gets a little out of hand (oops).
After only visiting for about 20 minutes today, I discovered so many new improvements that I must share! I’m sorry if these are old I haven’t been in a while!
–VICTORIAS SECRET IS COMING!!! This is very very exciting for me, I also noticed Pink was temporarily moved, probably because once VS comes they’ll combine them
–The food court now has Macs sushi (love), Chipotle (love), and they replaced Opa with Jimmy the Greek… yesssssss!!! I will never hesitate to eat in this food court again, in fact now I will always be torn on what to eat.
–Finally, they made Starbucks into an actual little store instead of just being a counter at the edge of the food court. As a Starbucks gold member and huge supporter I believe they deserved their own store all along so this is just fab.
I’m srue there were more changes but like I said I didn’t spend much time there today so I didn’t get the chance to explore. I have been to the new section in the past and it’s pretty sweet! Lots of athletic stores like a Nike outlet and they even put in a Hot Topic for all you closet nerds like myself!
I will update this review when I spend more time there and find out what else is good in the hood!

This was probably the largest and one of the most upscale malls I have been to. It took us probably 10 minutes to walk along one side of the mall, without stopping — it’s massive!
The deals were good, but we were in a hurry so didn’t get much of a chance to look around. Picked up a few things from CK and Winners. Will stop by here again when I get a chance in the future.

Over all a decent ~3.5 stars~
This place is massive and great for bargain shopping at times! There are a different variety of stores you can choose from and it attract all ages.
To top it all the mall incorporates strip mall type approach but has a roof on top. The mall also has Legoland and Lucky Strike which has bowling and pool tables.
It is very convenient as there is plenty of parking spots. I used to go there during boxing day till recently it started jamming up with people.
The food court has a variety of different options to choose from and also has some halal option.

After an eternity of renovations, i can finally agree this is a great mall! It looks great, it’s clean, and there’s a ton of stores! But don’t be fooled, it’s a mall/​outlet. Don’t expect crazy sales all over! There some real brand names in there that are $$$$$$$!!! But if you take your time and look hard enough, you can find some really really great deals! Plus, most stores are a lot bigger than at regular malls and they have more options in stock. I also enjoy the sofas placed every few stores down, great for those of us who maybe are just waiting on our shopping buddy.
Downside: Over crowded and bathrooms are not close enough together. The food court is not quite as big as they probably should have made it. Also I wish they wouldn’t rent out those huge strollers for kids who can walk. Takes up space and gets in the way, especially when the mall is already over crowded. Half the time, the kids aren’t even sitting in it…
Service is meh. People are nice in some places and impatient in others. We walked into a store, izos? It’s really small and right by the pickel barrel. Clothes are great and quality is outstanding, but the manager there literally shouted in front of us ‚“whoever sells this – gets some prize – «. Because they think their own products are ugly? I don’t know. Just find it unproffessional. Some service reps are really nice and super helpful though :)

Vaughan Mills is an outlet mall so it differs a little from other shopping malls but it’s still an excellent place to go shopping.
Since it’s an outlet mall, a lot of the stores inside tend to be pretty big compared to stores in other malls. However, this also means that there’s a lot more selection, which is an excellent thing to have for any mall. Clothing stores make up a large portion of this mall so if you’re a clothing person, go here. Aside from that, there’s still a solid amount of variety to be had here — Lego land, Pro Hockey Life and the food court in particular.
Parking is very plentiful and I’ve never had an issue getting a spot, even in the middle of a Saturday. The halls inside a pretty wide and the redone northern end of the mall in particular is really pretty if you want to sit down and relax — there are a different set of chairs everywhere!
Vaughan Mills used to have renovations on a pretty consistant basis but outside of stores locations changing, the main mall’s all finished. Since a lot of shops seem to be closing and /​or moving, be prepared to go to a different shop if your favourite store has gone missing. There are also several vending machines for a quick drink, scattered around the mall as well.
A bit of a side note is that the shape of the mall is one gigantic oval so you can make one round trip and easily see every single mall. This is usually what my girlfriend and I do if we go out so we never miss a store.
This is a fantastic mall to go to. They’re going through some changes daily (not all at once) so hopefully it’ll be better once it’s all finished. If you’re looking for a large mall and you’ve never been to this one, I can definitely recommend this one.
