Preparing to drive out to Vaughan Mills today, I was nervous. Would I be overwhelmed? Would I be stuck in some kind of endless loop because of its oval-shaped layout? Would I ever find my car again?
I had no need to worry, because it was just like...a regular mall, but newer and bigger. I really liked that everything was on one level, and the oval layout made it easy not to get lost. There were even maps you could grab to bring with you at each of the freestanding information signs.
I wouldn't call it an outlet mall in the sense that you are going to get amazing deals, but each of the stores seemed like a really amped-up version of its normal self, so each store seemed to have an even better selection than normal.
All in all, it was a really good spot to get some Christmas shopping done. Just watch out for all of the strollers! They were everywhere, though in fairness I was there on a Tuesday morning.
