Chicago Premium Outlets, Aurora

Disappointing compared to other premium outlets we’ve visited. Pretty remote so it took almost a while to get here via public transportation from Chicago union station. There was no direct bus/train. The prices weren’t as attractive as we had hoped them to be so in retrospect, not sure it was worth traveling all the way.

The Aurora Outlet is a great place to go when you're looking for great deals and great prices. Depending on what area you live in, it can be a bit of a hike but when you're shopping for what you want, it's always worth the trip. If you go during the week, Monday - Thursday, you really don't have to worry about large crowds. If you go Friday Afternoon - Sunday evening, it can be a bit busy. If you're a Sneakerhead, I definitely would suggest going to Kicks of The Day. They offer the top Jordans, Weezys, Adidas and custom shoes. For clothes you have you main regular outlet spots. They have plenty of stuff for the kids so you'll be covered there. Just keep in mind those children's activities can cut into your shopping time so be mindful of that. All and all it's a nice place to shop.
