I am generally not a mall person. I don't like the Eaton Centre and dread going shopping with tons of pushy people. But Vaughan Mills is a great mall.
The deals were great. I thought the mall would be too big to imagine but it didn't seem so big, we went all the way around and got to check out every store we were planning to. We noticed all the fun stuff to do for guys while the ladies shop, but to be honest, there are good stores for guys to check out too.
The food court was huge, I thought we wouldn't get a seat but it was not a problem finding one.
The mall is spacious enough that it didn't seem so busy at all. We were there on a Sunday from 10:30 until 4 p.m. and it didn't get noticeably busy at any time. The only time that it was a bit dicey was getting out of the parking lot but we expected a lot of cars trying to get out.
It was a great experience. I thought that Yorkdale was a great mall but Vaughan Mills is a bit better. If only it was closer.
Some tips to shop there:
- go on a Sunday during a regular week
- go early (before open) so you can get a kick ass parking spot.
- on a Sunday, the mall opens at 11 but Bass Pro Shop is open at 10 so you can get there at 10:30, get a great parking spot, grab a coffee, and check out the fun stuff at Bass Pro Shop (they even have a shooting game you can try)
