King of Prussia

It’s quiet in the mall during the week. Avoid the crowds and show up when everyone else is at work. Look both ways when crossing the street in the parking lot.

This is gonna be the shortest review of my life, so get your walking shoes ready. The King of Prussia mall is the 2^nd largest mall in America. Boom. done.
The Pros~
*Exercise.
*A shoppers paradise.
*You’ll never go hungry with the food courts.
*Surrounding restaurants.
*Hooters for wings and stuff.
*Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.
*Bars to escape the madness of it all.
*Brewery located inside.
*2^nd largest mall in America.
*Constantly growing.
The Cons~
*Ridiculous traffic during Christmas season. (Hanukkah included)
*Parking
*The maneuvering around the slow walkers
* A Kiosk every 10 feet trying to reel you in with the «Have you seen this» pitch
*Crying little annoying kids, or brats who think they are entitled to everything.
*Parking lot security rent-​a-​cops who think they are bad asses.
*Constant construction
Take the good with the bad, this place is pretty awesome, a marvel I’d say. Now go buy, eat, or drink something.

One of the biggest. AVOID AT ALL COSTS on a weekend or holiday. It’s insanity, awful. Takes forever to get from parts of the mall to another, almost too big. Plus a lot of lame, outdated rides, junk taking up space.

This gigantic mall is as great as it can be! It has every store you can think of! I was even able to get my Marmot rain jacket for such a great deal due to special sale! And, I was able to finally go to a Longchamp store since there isn’t one in GA. If you can think of it, they will probably have the store you are thinking of or something that will be able to fulfill your needs :) Only one problem. not enough time to see everything since it’s such a giant mall: D And from the looks of things when we visited, they were under construction… expansion I assume? Well, I definitely highly recommend this mall since it is the largest in the east coast: D Loved it!

Clean and tons of stores to shop! Hard to find the bathrooms though.

Thank you King of Prussia Mall! Finally some good ‘ol crazy shopping fun!
Although it’s still under construction in certain areas and expanding, KoP has such an awesome variety of stores. For starters, the most notable anchors for a shopaholic like me are Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Macy’s.
There are so many other great stores and the food court is actually pretty good! Check it out for yourself!
.
Shop ’til you drop my fellow-​fashionistas! ;)

Whoever plowed the snow needs to find something else to do. Piles of snow blocking the lanes between parking spots. If you go up the wrong lane, you are stuck. You can’t get out. Maybe I’ll go back when there is no snow in the forecast for months.

I absolutely love the KOP mall. There are so many different stores and you can find whatever you are looking for, from upscale to budget, the mall has it all. One of the things I love is that the parking is convenient especially for a mall this size I can’t say enough wonderful things about the KOP mall. I love it. If you haven’t been there definitely go! :-)

This is the most amazing mall ever. It’s got everything you need. Even during holidays, this mall is great. It’s the largest mall in the USA when it comes to the sheer amount of shops inside of it, so if you’re ever looking for a 1 stop mall, go here! It’s got all the stores you want, and some others you might never have heard of that are fantastic.
I’d like to visit the theatre here too at some point.
The food court is actually small (unless there’s another one somewhere), but they have a Chick-​Fil-​A and a Tony Luke’s. Both are really, really good.
A tip: If you’re new to this mall, pick up a mall directory map! It was a lifesaver. I have to get one every time because it’s such a large mall split up into about 4 – 5 sections.
Parking was really hard last time I went but I think we went into the wrong entrance. There’s usually parking, you just have to go a little further. There’s a huge garage we parked in after about 15 minutes of circling. This was probably the busiest time of the year though (Jan 2^nd ish)
Enjoy this mall!

One of the best malls on the east coast. This mall has a lot. I finally went to Coldstone Creamery here 2 days after Thanksgiving in 2015 with my 2 cousins. It was my 2^nd time at the mall since I stay in the South Jersey area.

You will need comfortable sneakers!

The mall is renovating to become the biggest commercial center in the country, but I can’t imagine it any larger than it already is. This place is massive, packed to the gills with stores and kiosks of virtually every type.
The only thing that it’s missing is a music/​record store. I’d give my left hand to have one in here.

This mall is GREAT. This mall is the largest mall in the United States by stores, meaning it has the most stores out of all malls. There is another mall that is larger than KOP but it has less stores than KOP. At first coming to this mall, you might feel overwhelm by the sheer number of stores it carries. Once you get use to the size and volume you will not regret it. Almost everything imaginable you want a mall, this mall will have it! Once you enter, it’s going to get real hard to leave. This place is a great option to do your black Friday shopping.

I love this mall — if it was closer it would be dangerous. I’m here far too much for living over 45 minutes away.
With that said, it is worth the 45 minute drive.
Valet parking is perfect, but parking is very easy (obviously, it’s the mall, lol)
The mall has always been super clean when I’ve gone, even during holiday shopping time.
My most recent visit this past weekend was after Thanksgiving so it was packed with people. However it was a very organized chaos. There were tons of housekeeping ensuring everything was in order and tidying. I was impressed with that.
This shopping mall does a great job covering all demographics, from luxury down to bargain shops, dining options from every corner of the world, it’s a great option for «one stop shopping».
The shops I’ve been in have always been clean — Neiman Marcus, Lord and Taylor, Louis Vuitton, Mont Blanc, Yves Saint Laurent, Janie and Jack, Lush, Brooks Brothers, Forever 21, and the awesome macaroon stall! I love that joint. And don’t forget the beloved Auntie Anne’s pretzels!
The surrounding restaurants are awesome in their own right too.
The Capital Grille, Sullivans, Maggianos — all great.
Easy to navigate, enough space to get around slower moving «traffic» — and plenty of seating for those that need to rest so they legit dont’ shop till they drop!

King of Prussia is such a huge mall with a lot of different stores. The stores can range from $ to $$$$! The mall has most of the stores that I usually would shop in. I just wished King of Prussia mall was closer to Philly’s Downtown area.

Haven’t been back here in years and am super impressed with all the upgrades! I love the container store and I really like how they’re making the court home decorators heaven. I guess they’re really trying to make KOP the fancy hotspot because they closed the limited and H&m and are opening Carolina Herrera and Vince. We are going to go back and visit next year when that whole outdoor entertainment area is finished.

Help me, I’ve died and gone to retail hell. I was there with a large group and our busses dropped us off with 2 hours to grab dinner and walk around. The time limit was a huge barrier. Getting anywhere is a slow process due to the size of the property. From a design standpoint, it’s interesting to see how they have added on and on and on. There is an ongoing mishmash of materials, layout and flow. I really would have liked to have had 5 – 6 hours to see more of the property. In the end, it’s just a giant mall.

Very nice mall. They have a mixture of high end and low end stores. If you are one of the types that like to run in the mall and get out this is not the place for you. It has two levels and seems to go in a circular formation so you can just walk around and around.
There is also two parts to the mall. Now I did not see a big difference outside of one section having a Macy’s but it seems that both sections have the same stores give or take a few. The section with the Macy’s does have Lots of restaurants inside though.
To get from one section to the other you walk outside across the street which one side is covered by a pavilion and an officer is directing traffic. At the moment it seems that they are building a skywalk to avoid this situation which will be very nice when it is complete. All in all it is a great mall be prepared to do a lot of walking.

Last time I was here, King of Prussia Plaza & Court was the largest mall on the east coast. The only valet was right outside the door to Neiman Marcus, since the rich were probably the only ones who would bother with this option, not considering that free parking was just feet away.
I’ll admit I worked throughout this place from age 21-​up at different establishments, not all of it retail. People I knew from high school and college came and went. Going through the current directory, it was sad to see some of the typical mom & pop places like Italian Delight were pushed out, only to be replaced with another Forever 21 or something similar. Depressing to see Harry & David gone, and surprised to see Sears anchor store replaced with Dick’s and an Irish import, Primark.
The Court was really on the ball with massive renovations years back, and there was that ‘new’ wing off of the court with Morton’s and a Cheesecake Factory that was always mobbed.
What I also miss is the no-​tax on clothing, and 6% sales tax on other items, unless this amount has risen. Being slapped with a 9% sales tax on clothing out here is something that was difficult to get used to. I’d probably take a big empty suitcase upon my visit back to do some serious shopping.
*I realize the last time I was here was 2005, so if my stores are ‘off’, I’m remembering it as I knew… ten years ago…

The biggest Mall on the East Coast.
Das will schon was heißen. Generell finde ich ja, dass es in Deutschland zu wenige bzw. zu wenig gute Malls gibt (zumindest in Köln und Umgebung). Die Malls hier in Amerika laden förmlich zum Herumbummeln ein, durch großzügig angelegte Food Courts (eine Ansammlung von Restaurants, Cafes etc. an einem Fleck) und viele Sitzgelegenheiten ist ein ausgedehnter Aufenthalt definitiv attraktiv.
Hier gibt es wirklich so ziemlich jeden Laden, den man sich vorstellen kann. Man braucht definitiv viele Stunden, um alles, was diese Mall zu bieten hat, auszukundschaften.
Ein Abstecher ist eigentlich schon ein Muss, wenn man in Philadelphia, PA (oder in der Nähe) ist.

My cousin told me that this is the biggest mall on the east coast. It was quite a walk around the mall so bring your walking shoes! There are a good mixture of stores. There is a great mix of high, middle, lower end retail stores so there is something for everybody.

I thought that this would be a great place to spend the Fourth of July weekend. I went on Wikipedia to find the largest shopping malls in the United States that I could get to easily from New York City, and this was certainly a great choice (sans the tolls).
The largest mall of the east coast, King of Prussia Mall, is apparently one small mall that is within walking distance to a much larger space. I parked near Macy’s and walked the smaller one first. I had lunch at Cheesecake Factory and dinner at Legal Sea Foods. Service in both restaurants was great, but fodder for another review.
The smaller part of the mall was undergoing renovations and did not look that impressive. It’s a long and exhausting walk to explore this whole thing. Then there was the big mall — thank God there was a map because I would have (wrongfully) taken the shotgun approach. We looked at the map and made targeted stops. Nine hours later, we were successful in exploring the entire mall.
There’s an extension that is being built near Neiman Marcus! The largest mall on the East Coast is about to get larger.

This place is huge! It’s super busy on the weekend. I had to hunt for my parking spot. I only explored The Plaza, and was too fatigued to shop around The Court where Macy’s at. I need more stamina to continue shopping lol. The upper level of The Plaza has a small food court, and the larger food court is located downstairs. The food court has a restroom, and there are more restrooms around different corners. Dispersed throughout the mall, there are plenty of snacks, ranging from candy to frozen yogurt. There’s a good number of fruit smoothie places, and I was surprised they even had boba tea.

Oh my don’t even know where to start with this review… First impression awful. I was imagining a big one size mall… not quite just picture two malls next to each other… that’s it… Definitely a waste of a trip… we drove 3 hours and even booked a hotel there… I guess I should have done a bit more research.
The stores are normal. They’re still under construction. The food is on par. The kids play area is decent. I don’t know seems quite ghetto to me… I definitely won’t be coming back… so sad and I was so looking forward to t and planned my whole trip around it.
Not enough escalators…
Very depressing mall.

King of Prussia is such a good mall! It’s a big pain to deal with though.
As city dweller, I find myself needing another reason to fight the Schuylkill to get out there. It’s not the place to stop for a quick errand. Once there, you need to fight the lay of the land and parking.
There’s an awesome mix of retail therapy within. High end, low end, middle end. Most mall shops I’d ever want to shop at happen to be located there. There’s a ton of chain restaurants and fast food places there too.
The lay out is confusing. The map on their website is pretty bad too. Yesterday I found it to be easiest to just call the store I was trying to go to and ask for directions of where to park.
As I mentioned in my tip, it is super hard to just run for a pop-​in visit. I had to research everything beforehand, and then was speeding through the mall like a lunatic to get my shopping done within the short timeframe I had available. If you are planning a quick visit for one item, it might be easier to check and see if it’s carried at the Plymouth Meeting Mall.
If you have the time the King of Prussia Mall is definitely daytrip worthy. I owe this place an extended weekend visit myself. Watch your wallet. It’s a shopper’s paradise and it seems really easy to get carried away with all its retail goodness.

I spent some years living in Asia, and I happened to be a couple miles from this REALLY REALLY BIG ASS mall, which I always went to because they literally had everything: food, retail, cinema, bowling, karaōke, bars, amusement park, you name it they had it! I later found out it was the 8^th largest mall in the world, which blew my mind mainly because I couldn’t believe they could get any bigger.
By comparison, KoP Mall is the 25^th largest in the world, which isn’t really that big and I didn’t get why they had to have a separate building with an uncovered walkway to get there. They even have stores located on the «Outer Perimeter» which you have to drive or walk to.
There isn’t much to do here except shop and dine, and the food options are quite limited especially if you’re an avid Unilocaler and like to avoid typical restaurant chains like the plague. If you love shopping then I guess you’re in luck since they have every major and not-​so-​major retail brands.
I give this place 2.5 stars.

Being from the DC area my family recently came to Philly for a day trip. I have been to KOP many times, probably one too many since I went to grad school in Philly. I believe when I was living in Philly someone told me it was the biggest mall on the East Coast. I tend to agree but I think if Tysons Corner and Galleria in the DC area were connected we would have that title of biggest mall on the East Coast.
Pros
+Variety of stores to match people from different budgets. H&M, J Crew, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom to baller status Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry etc.
+ The mall is very bright with sunlight shining in from the glass ceilings
+ Ample amount of parking and restaurants (Seasons 52, Mortons, etc)
+ Most importantly TAX FREE on clothing and shoes! This was a major plus for me because I come from DC/​VA where there is tax on clothing. Every dollar you save counts!
Overall I can’t think of any cons this mall has. If you plan on spending a huge chunk of your hard earned money on clothing, I would recommend visiting KOP so you can save some of it by not having to pay tax. Like any mall if you visit on a weekday it is pretty dead but on the weekend it can get quite crowded, so take that into consideration if you don’t like shopping with a bunch of people running into you.

Best mall everrrrrr… well I’m definitely biased since I grew up with this mall but on the real it has everything you could possibly want. One of the biggest malls on the east coast… might in fact be the largest on the east coast. There two parts to the mall (court and plaza). I like the plaza more because that’s where the bulk of the stores are like forever21, nordstorm, north face, madewell, express, etc. The court is ok too, I think I would only go there for Bloomingdales, urban outfitters, and cheesecake factory.
This place is a clustercity express during the holidays but you can def find some good deals so it’s worth the risk. There’s plenty to eat around here.

Als wir in Philadelphia waren, haben wir auch noch einen Ausflug zur King of Prussia Mall unternommen. Angeblich das zweitgrößteEinkaufszentrum der USA, das sich im gleichnamigen Vorort King of Prussia, nordwestlich von Philadelphia in Pennsylvania befindet. Die King of Prussia Mall ist in zwei Teile aufgeteilt, der «Plaza at King of Prussia» und dem «Court at King of Prussia».
Neben den üblichen Geschäften, die man in jedem Einkaufszentrum der USA finden kann, sind hier auch noch höherpreisige Shops von Armani, Versace, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Hermès und Louis Vuitton. Darüber hinaus sind noch die Kaufhäuser Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, J. C. Penney, Macy’s, Sears und Strawbridge’s vertreten.
Im Einkaufszentrum findet man über 400 Geschäfte und Restaurants. Alles wirkt sehr gepflegt und wertig. Der Foodcourt lässt keine Wünsche offen. Während des Einkaufs kann man das kostenlose WLAN nutzen, das gut funktionierte.
Man muss allerdings sehr viel Zeit einplanen, um alle Geschäfte zu besuchen. Wir haben uns hauptsächlich auf die Lieblingsmarken unserer Kinder, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch konzentriert. Die Angebote in den Läden waren ordentlich, aber mit den Preisen in den Outlets nicht vergleichbar.
Ein wirklich schönes Einkaufszentrum, das von der Größe wirklich beeindruckt.

A la mesure américaine, ce centre est le 2ème plus important des USA, se divisant en un grand et un petit mall. On peut y passer la journée à faire du shopping à tous les prix puisque les grandes enseignes internationales côtoient les enseignes nationales. Il est évident qu’on peut y déjeuner soit au Food court soit dans l’un des restaurants séparés. A titre personnel j’ai un faible pour le Ruby’s diner, avec ses Harley Davidson et son train électrique suspendu, et, surtout, ses hamburgers et ses frites aussi bonnes que si elles étaient fraiches!

Das King of Prussia… das war mal ein Erlebnis. Wir sind geschlagene sieben Stunden da drinnen rumgeirrt, dachten wir hätten alles gesehen und dürfen uns endlich ins Auto schleppen, was Essen und ausruhen da fällt einem echt die Kinnlade runter wenn man bemerkt: das war erst die Hälfte. Es gibt nochmal so ein Wahnsinnsding, einfach nur 10 m weiter und du bist da. Naja, wir habens dann ausfallen lassen.
Die Auswahl der Geschäfte im KoP ist schon gut, es gibt ja alles, aber es ist recht unübersichtlich. Irgendwann weiß man nicht ob man vorne, hinten, oben oder unten ist und was man alles noch sehen wollte. Die Amerikaner haben offenbar einen besseren Orientierungssinn als wir. Nervig ist, dass man beim anprobieren erst einer Verkäuferin bescheid geben muss die dann die Kabine aufschließt. Teilweise schreiben sie sogar deinen Vornamen auf. Alles sehr fremd für uns maulfaule Deutsche, auch die Freundlichkeit ist irritierend ;o)
Im HM hatten sie die gleichen Sachen wie bei uns, teilweise günstiger. Im HM in NY dagegen hatten sie tolle ausgefallene Sachen die bei uns wahrscheinlich keiner kaufen würde.

King of Prussia soll eine der größten Malls sein, wobei für mich aus Deutschland kommend alle Malls riesig sind. Hier findet man alles, Superläden, aber auch Superpreise. Ist weniger was für den Schnäppchenjäger als vielmehr für den gediegenen Einkäufer. Ich persönlich ziehe in Philadelphia die Franklin-​Mills-​Mall vor, da für Klamotteneinkauf deutlich günstiger.
Sonntags wird es hier ziehmlich voll auf den Parkplätzen — was man angesichts der riesigen Flächen eigentlich nicht glauben kann– und man sollte schauen, dass man vormittags anrollt, wenn man sich nicht einreihen möchte.
