| - Vaughan Mills is a great place to wander around for hours, if you have time to kill, or visit an outlet for 15 minutes and hike back to your car for 30. A growing tourist attraction at the intersection of highways; not exactly in an ideal neighbourhood location for a mall and incredibly busy at times.
Even given urban sprawl, the space taken up by this mall, and now the retail properties surrounding it, is ridiculous. One storey, laid out in a big rectangle that one can only walk through the very middle of through a frequently very busy food court, where multiple Halal options can be off-putting, could be laid out more interestingly.
As for the shops, a great variety of designer outlets, children's toys, food and beverage, services, specialty stores and so on. As much as the mall is laid out into "Neighbourhoods", none of them caters to any one specific group, requiring traversal of the premises to find something specific (although I assume someone with an established set of frontal lobes could consult a map), of course with the odd exception of a small number of stores, notably the Bass Pro Shops location which seems to be as much a tourist attraction as an all-in-one go-to for the serious outdoors types.
