Woodbury Common Outlet Hours

The Woodbury Common outlet is open every day of the year with the exception of December 25 and Thanksgiving Day. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but on some holidays these hours may change, so check the schedule for the day you plan to visit the New York outlet.

Where to eat in Woodbury Common

Woodbury Common is huge, so I advise you to spend the day there and this excursion to the Outlet from New York is a good way to do it. You can take advantage of the visit to eat at one of several typical American chain restaurants such as McDonald's, Starbucks, Shake Shack and Chipotle, and enjoy a coffee or a spectacular chocolate at the luxurious Godiva Cafe.

Another option is to bring some food in your backpack from New York, in case you're going to burn your credit card in the stores!

Best day of the week to visit the New York outlets

To avoid the crowds, go during the week and early in the day. Not only will this allow you to have a quieter day, you'll also find more products in the stores and won't have to rush to grab the best bargains.

Best time of year to visit the New York Outlets

Actually, any time of the year is a good time to visit the Woodbury Common outlet, considering that all the stores are, obviously, well air-conditioned. But if there is one time of the year when shopping makes the most sense, it's during the holiday season, when you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy all your gifts there.

If you are worried about coinciding with sales periods, forget it: there are offers and discounts on all brands at any time of the year.

Alex's Traveller Tip

Try to use all the discounts you can included in your VIP card, to which you can accumulate the discounts on the website of Woodbury Common.
