- IrinaUnited States14,041 contributionsLarge Outlet MallChicago Premium Outlets is a large suburban mall, located in Aurora, about forty minutes drive from downtown Chicago. Over 140 outlet stores of the mall offer goods at discount prices, there are seasonal sales, extra discounts, coupons, etc. Besides the stores, there are several restaurants and cafes, a food court, coffee and dessert shops in the mall. The outdoor grounds are well-maintained, there are many comfortable rest areas for customers, playgrounds for children, restrooms. The electronic directory displayed in several parts of the mall, helps to locate any particular store, the info on the stores is also available online. I visited several stores, including Saks OFF 5TH and DKNY -- both stores offer high quality merchandise of the latest fashion trends, and the discounts are quite substantial. In my experience, the service in these stores was highly professional. The mall is so large, that one can spend there half the day, easily. Now, when the holiday season is about to begin, many visitors are already buying holiday gifts, and Chicago Premium Outlets offer very good bargains.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 26 October 2023
- EyekaytooLeverkusen, Germany3,175 contributionsLarge outlet center (sic) with some shops offering great bargainsI popped by here one cold & rainy morning in January to check out the place for bargains. Parking, for free, was easy. This whole outlet area is on one level and quite easily mapped out. Unfortunately the rain meant that I had to dodge about to avoid getting soaked as not all areas are undercover. I thought that there was a great choice of shops here including some of the really famous brand names. And quite a few were offering some great discounts. I could have spent a fortune in Abercrombie & Fitch, for example. There is a decent, large food court area and I appreciated the fact that there were many modern, free and well cleaned restrooms. All good!Visited January 2024Travelled soloWritten 12 February 2024

Most stores were open although many were closed. Certainly has a good selection of stores to buy just about anything that you might be shopping for. Plenty of signs demanding usage of masks and social distancing. There were several hand sanitizer stations all over. Number of open washrooms was very minimal and signage for locating the open ones was pretty horrible. All stores seemed to have provisions for social distancing and I did not see anyone without masks. There were very few people roaming around the mall.

This is a nice clean and large outdoor shopping outlet. I commend the owners for keeping the vacancy rates down. There are plenty of stores, places to get a snack and nice clean areas to rest. There is a good amount of parking.
My issues are with the stores. Dont expect big discounts here. I was disappointed by the lack of good values. This was especially for all the athlectic shoe store. I found better prices at Kohls stores than I found out here. Aunt Annes Prezels prices are 20% higher out here than in the mall down the street from my home.
Come here for a nice visit, enjoy the clean areas and know what yu are looking for.

I went on a weekend and so likely not a good time to avoid crowds. I really was just looking for shoes. I usually go to New Balance, but the deals weren’t great. I wondered into the Reebok store and found amazing deals so it worked out. If you can go in a week day I would suggest that.

For those who already know the Orlando outlets, you will feel at home. It has the same architectural structure and layout of stores. It is a large shopping mall and, in my opinion, requires more than a day to explore. The prices, at least when I was there, were great. I recommend.

All brands that I was looking for promotions I found. I didnt use it but there was extra discounts for those who downloaded the app. Prices were good, mostly when you buy a second piece you get a upgraded discounts, so Unit prices get even better. Nice price.

Parking is a MAJOR problem. People can't find parking over the weekend and have to waste lot of time and then double park.
Management must have bribed city officials otherwise no project should be approved with so little parking with so many stores.
Shame on officials for not taking action for 5 years.

Make your way to Union Station and purchase a return ticket to Aurora. Return ticket per person costs $16.
Journey takes about 90 minutes. Once in Aurora walk outside the train station and you will see bus stop 156. Take this bus out to the Shopping Mall $2 each way (pay the driver). Bus takes about 25 minutes to get out to the mall. Happy Shopping

Hi guys, 3 or 4 years ago I went to Chicago and I remember there was a bus near by the Loop that was exclusively going to the Premium Outlets few times a day... I bought tickets for that and it was great, no stops, even they gave us a brochure with disccounts and everything it was full trip... and I'm going to the city again next week and I just can't find that bus anymore, the practical options are just too far away or take a lot of time... coul please anyone remember this and tell me where can I find it?
Thnks!

Does it have big discounts? Or it a regural store with little discounts?
Written 26 June 2018
It's hit and miss...we have been here and have come away with amazing deals. Today we were there and left empty handed. Closer to normal prices today. Nicest outlet in Illinois and neighboring states though. Always try to visit when we are in the area.

Comparado con España, las tiendas de prestigio aquà (Levis,Adidas, Vans, Nike, Hollister...) Son baratas allà o son más o menos igual de caras?? Si x ejemplo en España unos pantalones de Levis valen 39 € cuento valen en UU.EE?? Es por saber más o menos

Prices vary, but most of the stores have sales and seasonal discounts. There's a Guest Center in the mall where you can also get a booklet with discount coupons for some stores there. From my experience, you can get some good bargains at this mall. Given the exchange rate today (1 euro = 1,17 dollars) you might find some great deals at the Chicago Premium Outlets. They have over 150 stores there. Enjoy your shopping!

i am a first time visitor to chicago and want to know how i can get to chicago premium outlets from a hotel in magnificent mile ? i don’t want to drive and would rather do a bus ... is there a bus that goes there? and from where in the city ?
Written 1 May 2018
No bus. It’s in the way west suburbs. It’s a good hour from Chicago. Maybe Uber or lyft.

hello
How can I reach there? public transport or any shuttle?
Written 2 April 2018
There is public transportation, but you would have to look up schedules for both the Metra or Pacebus. As far as shuttles, that would depend on where you were staying. I doubt, seriously, that there would be a shuttle from downtown Chicago to Aurora just for the outlet mall.
