I was actually very disappointed. No accessory stores, no shoe stores... It was all about sports, kids and food. Really boring.

Visited the Carlsbad outlets primarily because of the stores for Elie Tahari and Theory. Looked at the Coach store. The bottom line is that I just don't enjoy outlet shopping. Some of the stores I looked in carried original merchandise but I really believe that most of the stores are carrying only goods made specifically for outlets. I did purchase... More

We went to the Carlsbad Premium Outlets after having been at Legoland with the kids for a couple of days. This was a nice diversion. There are lots of great stores and plenty of deals to be had.

It was a great shopping experience. Saturday was busy and it was hard to find parking. We just used the valet parkind.

Most stores here have deep discounts, and there are plenty of premium stores to choose from. Parking can be tiresome, as this place is very popular.
