I've been visiting this strip mall for 8 years, since discovering Once Upon A Child there. In those…read moreyears, I have since gone to McDonald's, Dollarama, MasterMind Toys, and Plato's Closet. There are plenty of other stores: restaurants, ice cream, banks, Bulk Barn, Goodwill, etc. None of stores are huge because they are located across the street at huge "The Pen" shopping mall. All stores have outdoor entrances; ie, they are not enclosed in a large mall building. The business hours are reasonable for St. Catharines. There are two entrances to the mall, at the east and west ends. There has always been enough parking, including accessible spots, in the mall. 95% of the time, I've been there on a Sat or Sun. This review is only about the strip mall in general, not about any particular mall. Review 2022-083 You can also find me on Instagram @chuan_chee. Thanks.

We went this past weekend to the Outlet Collection at Niagara Falls…read more They are located just after you cross the Gardenview bridge off the QEW Can't miss it The outlet has a pretty good variety of stores From higher end stores like Boss, MK, and Kate Spade to stores on the affordable side like Old Navy, Gap, and Marshall's....it has something for everyone The outlet has a fast food court that offers food like Subway, Mr. Greek, and Big Smoke Burgers. They even have now a spot that sells wine and you can even do wine tasting there Both me and my wife did some shopping and found some good deals there Service at the store is attentive and they are always looking for their commission so expect those that are looking for a sale to ask if you need help The shopping trip was quiet given we went over the winter but in the summer, look out, as it is super busy there Overall a fun shopping experience

It was fun to walk around here and go to the bigger stores at this mall, though! We came by to check out what this mall offered, and the big stores we liked going to were Chapters, Zehrs Market, and ... Wal-Mart. The other stores were just honestly too small and didn't have a lot for us to browse. Boring. We thought the Ikea was a regular Ikea, but it's more of a show room, so not much to see or buy here. Tip: Starbucks is located inside Chapters!

This was my first time walking into this place. I didn't know what to expect. I will say I was…read morehappy I stopped by. It had plenty of options for shopping. Even a bakery for cupcakes. And who doesn't like sweets.

Not a lot of great stores (for me anyway) here, although there is a wide variety of stores to…read morechoose from. The mall is bright and clean with seating to be found if you need to sit. If you know what you're looking for, it's a good place to shop.

There's lots here - Walmart, SAMs, Bed Bath Beyond, and my fav, Qdoba. They have lots more too. It also keeps getting new stores. This place is great for things that are not in the outlet mall, but are still low cost things, no high end stores in this plaza. Tons of parking all around.

If you go here to shop. Go early, shop fast, and leave asap. I went here on a weekend 2 weeks ago…read morearound noon and every store I walked into I was watched like I was a criminal. Sunglass hut was terrible. I tried asking a question about sunglasses when I realized both employees were stone faced watching me. Under armour store same thing....3 employees watching me look at shirt with the most obvious concerned look. Decent members of society that want to enjoy a day shopping do not need to be harassed in this manner. I guess it's true that the crime rate at this outlet mall has risen drastically. Be careful stay vigilant folks!

Frequent departures will have you moving where you need to go in no time.

I stumbled across Eastgate Square by accident. My original goal was to visit a Shoppers Drug Mart…read moreto get a few essentials. I didn't realize until I got to the drug store that this closest one to my hotel was a part of a shopping mall. I don't visit malls all that often these days because they are a death trap as far as time and spending go. I am a shopper at heart and can spent hours at one. It was exactly what I did last weekend. From the outside, you can certainly tell which part was the original mall and which wing is relatively new. I looked at the new wing and it looked like it was detached from the mall. Nope, you can walk every part of it indoors without freezing outside in the wintertime. The store has a good selection of stores. It has many of my favourites, such as Winners, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Showcase, DAVIDs Tea, SoftMoc, Showcase, and Shoppers Drug Mart. There are plenty of places to sit down if you are too pooped to shop. The target shopper seems to be folks 60 years of age and higher, which could explain all the places for folks to sit down, chat with friends, and enjoy a beverage. Although I'm not in that demographic, it sounds pretty good to me! Signs are clearly displayed to help guide you around the mall. There is free wifi if you do need to connect online. There is a food court. I didn't eat there, but there are many options to choose from. And, yes, there's a Timmy's to get your double-double fix on. I had lunch at Sunset Grill on my final day in Hamilton. It was Family Day and this mall was closed. However, Sunset Grill has its own entrance at this mall, so I was happy to have lunch here. I used one of the women's washrooms at this mall last Saturday. It was clean and maintained frequently. It's a good mall if you want something smaller than Lime Ridge Mall, but has pretty much everything you need. I'd return to shop here again. (76)
