St. Jacobs Outlets

Unfortunately underwhelming and vastly needs a boost of new stores and energy. A stark contrast from the vibe and energy at the farmers market across the street. The pricing at the current stores aren't the greatest either. Can be skipped. Good though as a cooling station from the hot Saturday afternoon sun. Then head back out to the market.

Good outlet mall could be off season stores were empty not much of a selection plus that pandemic thing going on

It's almost empty. Retail stores have pulled out during CoVid and rumors have it the building is being remade into another brewery and restaurant. There are too many breweries, they must do better.

Good place for food and roam around

One of the best country markets in Ontario. Incredible deals on sunglasses, jeans, clothing, bags and baskets. Your eyes will also delight at all the beautiful crafts and fine wood works, while the fresh produce and goods, and really good eats (hand cut fries, potato chips, dips and sauces, fresh rolls, fritters, meats and treats and lemonades and more) tempt your tastebuds and engage you with all the various aromas. There are picnic tables so you can try everything, atm machines so you can afford everything, multiple buildings to explore, wares to marvel at, interesting people, live musicians, an outlet mall over the road, tons of parking and even a bouncy castle, horse drawn wagon rides and train rides. Go early so you can get as much time here as you can. There is also a further agricultural element to the market. The 'stock' exchange takes place in a designated area of the market building. When the floor is open you can hear both cattle and bidders. Animal auctions are also held on outdoor grounds and crowds can swell to be quite large as interest turns to each lot trotted out for display to all. (we've only seen horses and cattle, but there are also probably other lots - not sure how often the auctions are). Last Saturday we also watched several children feed some penned ducks and look at and learn about sheep, a cow and a goat. Did I mention there are also horse drawn wagon rides?! Things are in full swing here, during the warm summer months on Saturdays - with some things going on all year. It is best to check the website for the dates and full hours as things shut down around 3:30pm. There truly is something here for every member of the family.

Was there on a Saturday. The place was full of people. There's a huge space for parking but finding a spot is a bit tricky. Big market outdoors. Lots of vegetables and fruits. A fantastic experience for weekend trip in the summer.

Exciting experience every time I go. Nice to see smiling faces from vendors and customers. Highly recommend you check k out all the buildings for hidden gems.

Hmm where to begin. This place is just a strip of stores. I'd hardly call it outlets. Outlets usually have decent discounts and I didn't notice that here. Years and years ago this place was much nicer. Now it's going to the way of many malls and closing more and more shops down. If you're desperate for something to do, go for it, but I'd pass. 2/5.
