The thundering Horseshoe Falls isn’t the only thing that people marvel at when they come to Niagara. Shoppers who get a thrill from scoring huge deals on top brands are amazed by the fashion finds at Niagara’s two outlet malls. It’s easy to visit both Outlet Collection Niagara and Canada One Fashion Outlets in the same trip, since they’re only about 10 km apart, but if your Niagara itinerary only has time for one shopping stop, here’s a little more background to help you make your choice.
Outlet Collection at Niagara is Canada’s largest open-air outlet mall, located right off the QEW highway on the outskirts of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Shoppers will find incredible savings on over 100 irresistible outlet brands, including Aritzia, Nike Factory Store, Kate Spade New York, Calvin Klein, Coach, Michael Kors, Lululemon, UGG, and more. A large outdoor eating area, as well as an outdoor gathering and kid-friendly play area, make it easy to enjoy the Niagara sunshine during shopping breaks. For those who want to stay nearby, the award-winning White Oaks Resort and Spa is right across the road. Non-shoppers in the group can cross the road to the Niagara College Teaching Winery to enjoy wine, beer, cider and spirit tastings in the inviting Tasting Room or on the patio overlooking the St. David’s Bench Escarpment. Royal Niagara Golf Club is also just across the road.
Just minutes away from the border to the U.S. on Lundy’s Lane, Canada One Outlets offers extremely convenient outlet shopping for those sightseeing in Niagara Falls. In addition to a diverse range of clothing retailers, including Coach and L.L. Bean, the outlet offers fun activities for those in your crew who don’t want to shop, such as a fitness centre, a pottery painting studio, golf simulators, and an indoor playground. Canada One Outlets is a stop on the Red Line of the WEGO bus service, a hop-on, hop-off visitor transportation system that connects Niagara Falls’ top attractions, hotels, and restaurants.
