Loved all the Holiday decor. Lots of lights and decorations. Super windy out so I wasn't able to stay as long as I would have liked to. Holiday sales a plenty! I'll be back for sure. read more

parking: free but the parking lot is HORRIBLY designed. i went on a Monday evening and it took 45 mins to leave the parking lot stores: they offer a decent amount of stores. there's Aritzia, Polo, Sandro, oak+fort, zwilling, etc. I went on Boxing Day weekend and the sales were subpar main takeaway: take the train in if you can! it'll save you a headache. or try going at a non-impacted time (I.e., weekday afternoons?) read more

Great place for high end clothing and shoes at discounted prices. Seems like all companies are here. The weather was a bit cloudy and rain was forecasted, probably resulting in a sparse crowd. I am sure this outlet gets quite crowded. Check it out. read more

Despite the bad reviews on Yelp from other Yelpers, I decided to give it a try. Because of its 3 - 5 mins walkable distance from the Templeton Station, it is a great location. It is also right next to the long term parking of the airport. If you or your kids like watching planes.fly over you, this is an excellent place too. Adidas, Nike, Aritzia, Boss, etc. were all there, just missing a Lululemon outlet. It is called Designer Outlet. I like it in a sense that the name probably can keep the cost and prices low. I however also think if the Premium Outlets brand buys this outlet, it will attract a lot more picky customers. Service was great in the 5 to 7 stores I went into. I especially like that there was a Neptune Wonton store in the outlets! Will come again. read more

Somewhere between the roar of departing jets and the soft hum of a credit card machine, you'll find McArthurGlen Designer Outlet. It's a gleaming temple to consumerism and it's tucked right next to YVR Airport. As you head to your flight, the mythical siren's whisper, "You've got an hour before your flight... why not?" and drags your sorry wallet into the fray. This place is vast. Rows upon rows of stores -- the usual suspects with their crisp polos and logo-laden bags, rubbing shoulders with haute couture names that usually live behind doormen and champagne - oh, how the mighty have fallen! Add a chuckling emoji here! You can go from Adidas to Armani in the span of a few steps, and if you squint just right, it feels like a fever dream of fashion -- one part Paris runway, one part mall parking lot. The selection of vendors are many. So many stores littered about without any plans - it's where hot dogs and sponge cake intermingles with handbags and jewelry. Speaking of parking: there's a lot of it - on a quiet weekday morning, makes you think the Pave the Earth Society had won and let the zombie apocalypse begin. But don't be fooled. Come a Saturday afternoon -- or worse, that mysterious witching hour when half the airport decides they "just have time to pop in" -- and those spaces fill like a music festival. Locals, layovers, and luggage-toting maniacs - who use them like bulldozers - all converge for a hit of discounted dopamine. The outlet itself is designed for Insta-nuts. Sculptures, archways, candy-colored facades, and photo props that practically scream, "Pretend you're in Europe, even though you're technically still at the airport." Ahhh... the life through 6" of metal and glass. It's part fantasy, part retail battlefield, and if you hang around long enough, you start to notice the rhythm of it all -- the shoppers strutting like runway models, the kids posing in front of fountains, the sky splitting open every few minutes as another jet screams overhead. It's chaos and choreography in perfect balance. McArthurGlen isn't just a shopping centre; it's a layover for the restless. A place where jet fuel, perfume, and freshly brewed coffee mingle in the air. You won't find nirvana here but you will find last year's stuff priced for the rest of us, yes the 95%. All packed up in logo bags - which will cost you, because it's BC and lord forbid you get a carrying implement without being taxed - and your off with a smile from store staffs - "thank you, come again." CHEERS! read more

I like the outlet mall simply but also makes me disappointed somehow. I do online shopping often but when I need to make sure the material or fit on the clothing, I would come to this outlet mall and physically check before I order it online. I stopped some stores and I noticed this place is collection of left over of left over. It's so sad after I checked the stores' online page. I didn't spend any money and left in one hour. read more

If you have time before the airport, you need to check out this outlet mall! They have great deals and we always make time to stop here before our flight back to the US. There are high end stores like Jimmy Choo and also regular stores like Herschel, Nike, Adidas, Sketchers, Lindt, Asics, Kate Spade, Aritzia, Gap, Banana Republic, etc. if you need to grab cold weather gear there is a North face and Columbia. The bathrooms are very nice, like one even has a fake large plant in the stall. They have added places to eat, ramen, Mexican, japadog, noodles, etc so you can stay here for a long time. Parking is easy. read more

I love this outdoor outlet mall. The stores are high end. They have great deals during the holidays, 40-70%. I love the layout. It's easy to walk thru and remember the store locations. Even in winter its nice to stroll around, its safe, and environment clean. There are coffee shops, familiar names such as Cafe A'rtigiano and Starbucks. Several fast food such as Japadog and A&W Burgers are available. It's nice to stroll around the place during the summer as well. There's a huge free parking lot. This is right beside the airport and hard to miss. read more

This outlet mall near the Vancouver Airport has a variety of designer brands, along with a large selection of food. It has large surface parking. It is divided into 3 large town squares, all connected. It reminds me a bit shopping in a small town's center. Each square has some sort of monument or point of emphasis. The variety of stores are solid, with Cole Haan and Boss being two brands that I was interested in. The sales were decent. And in one section, there a variety of casual non-chain restaurants, serving American (burgers and hot dogs), Mexican, Pizza, Chinese, and Japanese. We really enjoyed our 3+ hour stay here. They do have free wi-fi but it seemed to be broken...couldn't connect anytime during the 3 hours. read more

We stopped here by mistake. We don't have a destination. Just driving around downtown then we took a wrong turn and end up here instead of driving straight to the airport. Since we are here already, I went to 2 stores to check out their deals. One store does have a clearance rack but I find it pricey still. I looked around but none caught my eye. The same with the other store. Nice place to come and enjoy browsing the stores while getting your steps. Plenty of parking spaces. Good eating places on site. Benches to rest. read more

From June 7 to September 3, there were 2 free Richmond Discovery Shuttle roaming around from Brigport Sky Train Station and from Lansdowne Sky Train Station to this outlet. Absolutely convenient! It also drove you around the residential areas and Steveston old Seafood town on the way. Quite a ride! Right now there were 70% discounts on most of the popular brands - Kate Spade, Nike, Aritzia, Armani, Asics, Diesels, Jimmy Choo, Puma, Under Armour, Versace, Karl Lagerfeld etc. if you are tired, A&W and Chinese foods were available too. read more

Smaller outdoor outlet store that has the typical stores you're looking for. The outdoor area is cute but not also the easiest to navigate since they don't have a lot of signs. They have a bathroom that you have to walk up to with private stalls but not super maintained. It would be a place I stop by at to shop but not a place I would go out of my way for. read more

This is a pretty quiet outlet store. Beautiful layout with lots of benches to sit in when you get tired. The stores are a mixture of high end signature and some well known brands. It's a well worth place to visit when you go shopping. read more

This is a solid 3 stars. There are over 50 retail shops, food and drink amenities. Those who come are looking for fantastic deals. Are there any? Yes and no. Discounted goods from previous seasons that cannot be moved from their retail locations, disguised as deals. Well, one woman's treasure is another woman's landfill. Couple of shops were swarming with people assuming they found deals or deals to be had. If shopping /window shopping is your thing, this place is good for some outdoor walking. I enjoyed these outdoor style shops though today was a nippy windy 1 degree day. read more

Came here for the first time a couple weeks ago! Nicely laid out outlet mall with tons of benches and seating areas for those who need a break from shopping. Decent selection of stores to choose from. I found lots of cute stuff at Guess, and my mom got a bunch of good deals at Coach and Kate Spade. The only store I wasn't impressed with was Aldo. Almost all the shoes were full price, and the only deals were on their ugliest sandals which they were obviously trying to get rid of. You're better off going to one of their regular locations. Overall though, this is a great outlet mall to spend a few hours shopping. I would definitely come back here. read more

Come during the weekday to avoid the rush. There is a significant difference in traffic coming on a weekend as opposed to weekday. I come for walks during the week when it's nice out. Has a great selection of stores to choose from. read more

I have been to this outlet mall a few times. You can find many well known brands here. Mostly brands for fashion clothing, sports and shoes, etc. It would be better if there are shops for designer products for consumer electronics stuffs. Also not sufficient restaurants and seats. Access to washrooms is not very convenient as you have to walk a long way if you are far from the restaurant area. read more

These outlets confuse me quite frankly. The stingy craftsmanship of the structure itself, to the awkward location, to the lacklustre attempt at sales and the biggest issue.. why Vancouver thought it needed to contribute to fast fashion waste even further. Most of these retailers produce items specifically for their factor store or "outlet". These clothes have never touched the shelves at their regular retail locations. This means that the quality is exceptionally low. At Banada Republic you won't find silk blouses or wool sweaters, you'll find acrylic, poorly made things with fake price tags and a 50% off sticker. The racks look like a dollar store set-up, they don't even try. On the opposite spectrum of this, you'll find stores like Aritzia where the clothes are the same at the outlet as they are in usual stores but the sales are minuscule. You'll see a lot of the classic Aritzia 2-dollar-off sales, "was $190.99 now only $188.99". This is no where near their once a year warehouse sale and pretty much the same crappy discounts you can get in any location. Most of their items are not even on sale which seems to defeat the point of traveling this far. It does get worse, Sunglass Hut will look at you like a monster for asking what the discount is on their staples. A sharp "nothing" is the discount. You'll see a lot of stores you've never heard of. Small shelf-companies selling off old merchandise bought in bulk from other stores closing. Even this, the consumer isn't saving a lot. For instance, at Think Kitchen, a box of four Ridel wine glasses are $44.00 yet the same crystal, made in Germany glasses can be consistently found at Winners or Home Sense for $28.00. Washrooms are inexcusably filthy with urine splashed on ever seat. There are no maps, no "you are here" signs and no one at the info desk. The wifi is terrible. One star for free parking read more

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet - Outlet Stores Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

First time to this outlet located next to YVR where the usual name brands are here. Came here on an overcast day and there were approximately 70 stores along with some restaurants such as A&W which seems to be popular in Vancouver. The one area for opportunity is where the restrooms are located as they are not intuitive like other outlet malls that I have been to. In addition, they are all located on the second floor of where they are located. Parking was plentiful however, we arrived during a weekday. Be prepared to cover your ears as the flight path to land at YVR is directly above this mall location. read more

A big outlet mall near the Vancouver international airport,parking is huge and free.. Very clean and the design of the building stores are modern.aside from huge selections of name brands there are a lot of restaurants too. Unique and beautiful structures can be found inside which is an advantage for a person like me who loves selfie so much. People also visits to watch airplane passing which is a very nice experience specially with the kids, In the center of the mall there is this nice water fountain that changes colors very beautiful at night,children loves it so much. Outlet is easy access by skytrain i never tried but i see it. Branded items...tons of them if you just have the patience then i gezz you will find good deals..some of the prices are expensive aswell bit still cheaper compared to the regular mall around. Most of the crew are very friendly...neatplace to shop .Wifi is free and available in most of the stores.public washrooms are like hotels immaculately clean and well lighted and decorated. Loving this place...i frequent come here....japadogs oh yah!! read more

I finally visited the this outlet mall and I was pleasantly surprised. I had been told by several people not to bother with it as the discounts were not deep and the items were blah. Parking was readily available though those nearer the stores were full. The way into the outlet was also a bit confusing, so pay attention to the limited signs. We spent about 2-3 hours here and it was not enough to really go into every stores unless you are just doing the "hop in, hop out" thing. I think we only managed to visit 8-10 stores. Maybe it was the long weekend, but I found most stores having pretty decent discounts. The stores with the long lines are the entry level designer stores (Michael Kors, Coach and Kate Spade New York), then again they are the only designer stores here. You will not find Tod's, Bottega Veneta, Ferragamo, Balenciaga, etc here. The food area is off to one side with around 5-6 proper restaurants, none of those food court thing like many outlets in the States have. Like one Yelper mentioned, I don't get why the washrooms are on the 2nd level. It was such a hassle to climb up the stairs and the elevator took its own sweet time to arrive. I do not mind coming here again, just to check out what else is on offer. read more

This outlet is full of high end shops a few casual retailers. Everything has an outdoor entrance. Everything is clean and easy to find. Located close to the Vancouver airport, it's easy to get to while flying or driving to/from the city. Had a really great experience shopping here at over a dozen stores. Prices were fantastic. read more

Nice place, lots of shopping and good timing for the Victoria holiday deals. I purchased Ugg boots that I almost bought in the states for $230, purchased them here for $115.... Awesome deal! I was not fortunate to purchase more because other styles were not available in my size, so I didn't have too much of an advantage of the savings. Still happy. read more

Went on a weekday around 11:00 and there was a lot of parking and not very busy. By the time we left around 2:30 lots more people and parking was significantly more full. Something like 80 stores, lots of selection, and much more convenient than Tsawwassen Mills coming from the UBC area. Wide spacious lanes between stores, nice Christmas decorations. Bathrooms were nice but strangely placed on the second floor. Bonus is there is a nice sitting area outside so you can relax a bit if you have been shopping hard. Stores were a good size, the Under Armour and Sketchers were great. Could have used more food places. There were a few opening soon so it had promise. We checked out Japadog which we all love for a guilty treat. Neptune Chinese beside it had dim sum and further on was a nice cafe. Will check out again. Some people said the aircraft flying close by were annoying but that totally is awesome to me! read more

Zwilling J.A. Henckels: Super unpleasant and unprofessional experience at Zwilling J.A. Henckels at McArthurGlen the other day. My partner received a gift set for Christmas and went in with the gift receipt to exchange it for something else. We went up to cash right away to inform the staff of what we were doing. The initial staff was super helpful however I noticed another staff was staring us down from a distance. The store got busy and instead of monitoring all the new customers coming in, that staff chose to stay extremely close (within 1m) of my partner while he was looking at the different products. Then she said in front of a bunch of other customers, in a loud firm voice to another staff to keep a close eye on my partner. When we chose an item we wanted to swap it for, that staff insisted that she rings us up. When she rang up the transaction, the price was correct on the transaction screen however she kept saying that we owe more than what was on the screen.. The price on the screen even matched the giant price tag on the floor and on the item but she kept insisting that it is $20 more dollars than it was listed and that we needed to pay the additional $20. During the entire process, she was extremely hostile, short, rolling her eyes and huffing and puffing at us. As someone who has worked multiple retail jobs, I have a lot of empathy to the retail workers, especially during the holiday season. However no matter what, I think it is so important to be kind. I really hope that she was having a bad day but unfortunately I will not be a returning customer to that location ever again. read more

I don't think its worth coming here. Its small compared to the Seattle premium outlet. The size is like 1/4 of Seattle Premium Outlet. But the pro is that its close, I mean its still in BC or Vancouver. Kind of..... I went on July 25 2015 and I have to say half the stores are not open yet. Not to mention even for the stores that are already opened the prices are not that great. I can find better deals in the states. Even after factoring the exchange rates, you are still better off going down to Seattle Premium Outlet. I do like the design of the building. Its very original. But there is one thing that really annoys me how can this mall only have 1 washroom! Would I come back. No I don't think so. Unless a friend really want me to tag along then I will consider it. Or else NO!!!! read more

A smaller outlet with designer high end stores, most the same as hawaii and other states, however we found some different stores that we can't find somewhere else near us: Mountain warehouse - we found reasonable designer rain jackets to our liking. Lindt chocolates - the only way we can buy it is through macy's, and it is so fresh and smooth coming from the store directly. It was $5.50 for 8 pieces or $30 for 100 pieces. Being Chinese and our family being chocolate fiends, you can guess how many we bought. the capilano tea store - they said they will only be at this outlet for 2 months. Being very near the airport, the planes fly very low. Bathrooms are individual rooms with a full door. however you have to walk up the stairs to get to it. A lot of other stores still didn't move in so I was a bit sad not to be able to shop in them yet. There needs to be more eateries. there was only one restaurant and a food truck servicing only fried foods. I like how they designed it and placed lots of benches for us to rest. read more

Came by to check out the outlets after the intial mad rush on opening day. Parking is plentiful in the nice large lots. Not sure if capacity will be sufficient after they open Phase 2 though. The entrance and exits to the lots are bit tricky, as there are way fewer of them than one would think. Of course, there is also the conveniently located SkyTrain station nearby. It looks like they're trying for a more European-feeling version of Seattle Premium Outlets. The store selection is decent, but the variety is definitely less than SPO. Maybe this will change in the coming months. With that said, there are Puma and Lindt stores here. Yay! One improvement this place has over SPO is the large kids' playground on one side, as well as a few areas where one can enjoy the riverfront view. It's a neat touch to put all those signs in the native language, but almost nobody who visits the area is going to be able to read any of them. On the other hand, one thing that was noticeably missing about this outlet was a food court. All I saw were some food trucks. The one annoying thing about this place though - it's directly under the landing path of one of the major runways. Every few minutes, a deafening roar covers the entire place. Kind of neat the first couple of times, but gets annoying really quickly. Can't really decide if I like or dislike this place just yet. read more

I went here for a grand opening today and the outlet was really packed today. We were scared of not being able to find parking and thank god there were some parking spaces. There were plenty of parking areas and felt lucky to find spot of our own. When we first arrived here building looked really nice. The entrance part reminded me of Disney Land and everywhere else looked fancy. Washrooms were very clean. There were 3 of them and had to go upstairs to go to washroom. You can use elevators. There were super long line ups by Polo, Coach and Armani around 3-4 ish. My friend was shopping around Hugo Boss and almost everywhere we went were so busy. Even Caffe Artigiano was very busy that I had to stand in long line. Some staff were all over the place from serving and making coffee. As I mentioned the 3 retail stores I've previously mentioned were extremely busy with very long line up. This outlet had a play ground so family can bring their kids along. There were an orchestra playing Aladdin OST which was nice. Another good thing is there are maps in different languages for tourists to use. Also there is free Wifi throughout. It was really cool to see Under Armour, Cole Haan, Nike and Geox store. There were things which I didn't like such as short staff and slow service. Couldn't shop at Coach since the line up was very long from 3pm ish even later. J Crew wasn't even open yet and felt disappointed about this. Anyways it was super busy day here for traffic controllers, police and sales people. In my personal opinion there weren't much stores to look at. read more

The outlet stores themselves are good. They are expanding with new stores hopefully soon. I did not like how some stores did not control the number of customers in the store at a single time. Not necessarily due to Covid precautions but mainly because there were so many people in a single store that I couldn't shop comfortably. It felt like a humid mosh pit and it was very overwhelming. I also wish that the outlet management services would have helped the flow of traffic within the outlet parking lot because there was apparently multiple accidents and a bridge closure just outside of the outlet parking lot that halted everything. (It took my family an hour to drive from the front of the outlet parking lot to the very outside of it. Maybe a 1/4 mile) read more

I love this outlet mall! Since it opened we've been back multiple times. Mostly because of the Lindt store. This mall offers quite a few high end shops, like Kate Spade, Coach, Michael Kors, and Tumi. But also more affordable brands like Nike, Sketchers, and Naturalizer. The food options are slim. They have Japadog, a noodle house, and a pizza place. We don't eat here though, cause what we have tried was no good. It's a nice place to shop around not only in the summer but winter as well! It's nice to be able to breathe fresh air, shop around, and watch airplanes fly by super close to the ground. read more

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet - Outlet Stores Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Let's get straight to the point. Back then outlets were the business. Not only did you get high end names for a low price, they were still quality. Now you got items that are sold at the outlet using high end names, and honestly it's garbage. It's not even items that you would find in their original store. So I've stopped wasting my time shopping at outlets. And when I do go, its for cheap items that I wouldn't even care for.. The real reason why I'm giving this place a one star is because the parking infrastructure is a fck fest. LITERALLY. You waste more time trying to go in and out of the parking lot than you would at the damn outlet itself. If you can shuttle, you should, if you cannot, don't even bother. The fck fest last for a solid 1 to 1.5 hours. read more

Enjoyed a great shopping day here. Lots of brand name stores like Coach, Gap, Banana Republic, Nike, Geox, J Crew, Club Monaco, etc. I found a lot of good sale items at BR so I was happy.

McArthur Glen Designer Outlet is located on Templeton Station Rd in Richmond. It's so closed to the airport. The outlet pretty clean and spacious but it might let the shopper down. I personally don't like to shop at outdoor outlet especially Winter time. In addition, I found the designer outlet only have few luxury designer brands there. My hubby checked out Amani and Hugo Boss suits, the price way more than US outlet. I found the homeware shops price more reasonable. I have another great place to walk and shop if I have spare time. read more

Improved since my last visit. More stores and better food options. This is an outdoor shopping mall with clean, open spaces, pleasant design and interesting features. They have several food options; a noodle house, crepes, japadog, Mexican an cafe artigiano. There is a good sized outdoor, covered play area for children. The washrooms are large and clean albeit inconvenient to access in their second floor location (at least the one I visited). Although the deals didn't blow me away there were some to be found depending on what you were looking for, but also some items I haven't seen elsewhere which was refreshing. Overall, a pleasant few hours shopping, I'll go back. read more

I am not a fan of outlet shopping, but this outlet is the worst one ever. Overall customer service is pushy and demanding. It's expensive, a tourist trapped geared to people catching a flight. Food is mediocre and expensive. If you are a Vancouver local, don't waste your time there. read more

This is an odd outlet located directly adjacent to the YVR Vancouver International Airport. Literally you make like you are going to departures and then turn right just before - I can't imagine trying to get to the outlets during heavy traffic flight times like the holidays!! Beyond that there is plenty of parking and the shopping center is quite large. To get from the parking lot to Starbucks is quite the hike. I was curious to check out a store that showed up online but was actually closed when we got there. I was happy that the Lole was still open and had a great selection of products. There were some big designer stores like Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman but otherwise it was a standard run of the mill outlet. I would almost venture to say the Tsawassen Outlet is better (if not mostly because it's an indoor mall - protecting you from the cold most of the year!) read more
