lots of stores to do some good shopping. What I did not like: one of the restaurants was far away and it was windy and cold. More

We left Manhattan by noon to stay in Newark, before heading home on flight the next morning. We learned of this mall from tripadvisor, and thought we would use the afternoon to do some final shopping. the mall has "outlet" stores combined with regular retail stores. Good thing is that there is no sales tax on clothes. If you are... More

Jersey Gardens is a great mall! It has many top name stores and has lots of parking (if you are familiar with NJ, you know this is a big deal). It is always teeming with shoppers and you can usually find what you are looking for there. The only thing that I don't like, are the young people that hang... More

My mom and I did a trip to NYC in December last year and the trip would not have been complete without a visit to Jersey Gardens. The mall is fantastic with virtually every kind of shop under one roof. The mall is clean with large shops, a great food court and the staff in all of the shops are... More

This mall is a nice mall about 25 minutes to Downtown Manhattan. From Penn Station you can take a bus that takes you directly to the mall and back or you simply take the train to Newark airport and take the shuttle bus to the mall. I prefer this mall compared to the Woodbury Outlet Mall because of the short... More

All the major stores that you need. I come from BKLYN about four times a year to shop for my son. When he was a baby I got excellent stuff from baby gap, old navy, gymboree, and the children's place. Now that he is older I go to Aeropostale, Hollister, and Abercrombie and Finch. For myself I like Lane Bryant... More

I love Jersey Gardens Mall because for me it's my one stop shopping mall when I come to the states. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES THOUGH! You will end up walking a lot when you go there, so make sure to start out with sneakers ro really comfy shoes. I only got to about 6 stores in the mall and I go... More

Pretty average shopping offerings, definitely not on par with premium outlets like the Woodbury Commons. Do not expect the same quality of goods in the outlets as you get in the regular stores. Many of the big names ( Abercrombie, GAP, GUESS, New York & Co, etc.) manufacture separate lines especially for the outlets and the quality is definitely inferior.... More
