The Mills at Jersey Gardens

Jersey Gardens is not strictly an outlet mall though it has a number of outlet shops. However, it does offer a good selection of stores and even has a cinema so your partner can go to the movies while you shop through the mall. A win-win if you ask me.

At the Jersey Garden shopping mall, you’ll find various high-street stores but also department stores like Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Get souvenirs from Disney Outlet or Crocs Store. Or stock up on the latest fashion at the Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria’s Secret, Tommy Hilfiger and Nike among many more. Upon arrival first head to the Guest Services Booth to find out all the current discounts. You can also pick up a detailed map of the mall so you won’t miss any stores.
