It's free ... less convenient .. yes! I am at The collection multiple times a week and it's a great addition to Oxnard. So many things to do and I love how clean it's kept. There are different happy hours at different shops. I think you can find affordable or more fine dining options as well. There's something for everyone! Oh and so many events. Not sure I'd be back for The Christmas tree lighting though because it was a madhouse.. it was cool to see though. There's just way too many people. I haven't had a bad experience. Staff at the multiple establishments are nice. There's plenty of charging stations for those with electric vehicles too.

We've driven by The Collection many times, but it looked kind of small, so we never thought to…read morestop. With nothing really planned today, we took the scenic drive from SCV to Oxnard to finally explore this outdoor mall and have lunch. Very well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, it turned out to be a great experience! There's a good number of stores of different sizes to shop and browse, Target, Century Theaters, Bowlero, park/playground, community areas with games, restaurants and food court. After our lunch we decided to sit at the park area to enjoy the cool cloudy day while watching kids roll around in the grass, people with their dogs and families engaging with each other. After that and some shopping, we ended up spending more time that we expected to. There's more than enough parking all around the mall and in the Target structure. We plan on visiting more often.

It's very convenient to the freeway, with lots of free parking, plus various restaurants to refuel you during your shopping adventures. The stores are good sized with elbow room and high ceilings. The exterior facades were designed with a mix of architecture to give the effect of a village, not a monolithic samey-samey feel. We stopped by two weekends ago while hunting for decor supplies for our daughter's baby shower. My destination that day was Michael's. Dear Hubby headed for B&N to enjoy the periodicals section while I did my thing. That day I didn't have extra time, but I have shopped the Ventura Kohl's previously. There's also a Pet Smart and Sprouts in the plaza. Noted that StoneFire Grill took over for Macaroni Grill. Lots of palm trees grace the parking lot to remind you that you're in Southern California and near the beach.

Almost too good to be true for the quality of service I received. If you're having any issues with your phone, I highly recommend going to see Zubi. You won't regret it!

Ventura Harbor Village gave me such a bright and uplifting experience when I visited, because the…read morewhole area has this naturally playful atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed the moment you start walking around. The colors of the buildings, the reflections on the water, and the way people move through the space all come together in a way that feels lively and full of energy. I noticed right away that there were a lot of teenagers there, and seeing them taking pictures, laughing with their friends, and exploring the shops made the entire place feel even more youthful and exciting. It is the kind of environment where teenagers can be themselves without feeling judged or rushed, and that adds so much to the overall vibe. One thing I really appreciated was how easy it was to enjoy the scenery without needing to spend money. The marina, the boats, the open walkways, and the bright storefronts all felt like natural photo spots. Teenagers were stopping every few steps to take pictures, and it made perfect sense because the whole place looks like it was made for fun moments. The scenery almost feels animated in a way, not because it looks fake, but because the colors and shapes are so bold and cheerful that they stand out in a really playful way. It reminded me of how the props at Funko Hollywood looked so perfect for photos even though they were just meant for fun. Ventura Harbor Village has that same kind of charm where the environment itself becomes part of the entertainment. I also loved how calm and unhurried everything felt. Even with a lot of people around, including groups of teenagers moving from shop to shop, the space never felt crowded or overwhelming. There is something about being near the water that makes the whole experience feel slower and more peaceful. I could take my time walking, looking around, and enjoying the moment without feeling like I needed to rush to the next thing. The sounds of the water, the smell of food from the restaurants, and the warm sunlight all blended together in a way that made the visit feel really refreshing. I have only visited Ventura Harbor Village once before writing this review, but it left a strong impression on me because of how enjoyable and welcoming it felt. It is honestly one of the most playful outdoor places I have been to in a long time, especially because of how many teenagers clearly loved being there. Watching them take pictures, enjoy the scenery, and just have fun made me realize how perfect this location is for them. I would highly recommend that teenagers visit Ventura Harbor Village because it gives them a place to be creative, take fun photos, enjoy the water, and feel free in a positive and uplifting environment. I have lived for 24 years, but I am not physically or mentally 24 years old. In the summertime of 2024, I learned that I am still physically and mentally 18 years old, and I also learned that my prefrontal cortex is far more developed than the average 25 year old. Maybe that is why places like this feel so natural and energizing to me. They match the way I experience the world, with that mix of youthfulness, clarity, and excitement. Ventura Harbor Village fits perfectly into that feeling, and it is a place I would gladly return to because of how much joy it brings to people, especially teenagers who want a fun and welcoming place to spend time.

I absolutely love wandering among the aisles in this store and imagining all my clothes and shoes perfectly organized. Unfortunately, the prices are pretty high in this story - even with discounted rates. I also like how I'm greeted every time I enter the store. Additionally, I usually run into an employee who asks me if I need any help. The store is always clean and clutter-free. My absolute favorite part of The Container Store is the section with unique gifts and items you can use, like the scrub mommy and daddy, a guide on what your cat's position and behaviors mean, and more. I always like to browse and see what they have because it's fun to look at.

I enjoyed seeing a complete product line for various clothing and shoe manufacturers rather than a few items only in a normal retail store. I was able to find some specialty shoe products, including some cushioned sketchers shoes, not readily available in brick and mortar stores. On rare occasions, I get to wear a tux. I was able to find a high quality half price/inexpensive tux top the cost less than a pair of running shoes. A bargain if I wear it once. If you're looking for some surprises and bargains in high-quality clothing, I recommend you give the Oxnard outlets a try.

I let the woman at the counter know I am there with an order and have an order # in hand. She calls Monique over. I walk up to Monique with order number in hand and she doesn't even make eye contact and continues to walk away from me towards the counter to discuss with the cashier. Alright, I follow her up and let her know and am slammed with an attitude "do you have an ID?" And I said "well I'm picking up this order for my mother" and before I can even finish my sentence she rudely exclaims she cannot give me an order without an ID. I explain my mother is bed ridden and I have an order number and she refuses. I get my mother on the phone and magically Monique is able to provide the order after discussing it with her store manager. On top of that, she states "you need to be nice" after I asked her for the corporate number. She gave me the number to IT support. Pulled out a giant binder with tons of numbers in big bold writing I could read from 4' away and still couldn't give me the correct contact number. Unsure if that was on purpose or if she was feeling extra unprofessional. Last week we had a similar interaction when purchasing items labeled $5 and charging for $7 or more. We asked the cashier to fix the price because it is clearly labeled on the sticker with the SKU $5. Manager did not want to come talk to us, leaving the cashier awkwardly having to state the manager wasn't coming and he'd have to charge us $7 for a sticker that says $5. We had to ask him 3 times to get the manager up to the front and he finally came. Was not willing to fix all the prices so those items were left behind

Not everything was $5 or less today though. I guess that's the state of things. I ended up buying a big bag of mostly candy for $31. Some for me and some as quirky gifts for friends. Self-checkout was easy. Overall the store was clean and well-stocked, though a little messy/disorganized. Some stuff, especially in the candy "bins" was not in the right bins, which makes the prices confusing. One of the candies I bought, I thought it was going to be $4 but it was $2.50. And a toy I bought, I had no indication of price at all, and it turned out to be $4. Their stock changes regularly so it's fun to just check in every so often to see what they have. And if you see something you're interested in, it's a good idea to buy, as it may not be there the next time you visit. Staff I talked to were polite and professional. Parking was easy - it's in a big strip mall sort of shopping center.
