Nice clean outlets giving good value for your buck. Without exception staff at the shops we used were polite friendly and knowledgable. All in all worth the visit.

Quality of shops are "so so", and don't worth to drive almost 2 hours from SF. Honestly, Livermore Premium Outlet is much better.

I am not far from these outlets so visit fairly often. Lots of stores and so you can spend a lot of time browsing and shopping. There are also lots of food choices and a Starbucks for a coffee/tea fix. I especially like the kitchen stores.

As with any shopping some stores better than others. Also they come and go. Children's clothes at osh gosh and children's palace good. Also like Nike and kitchen outlets. High end include coach, says etc. Go during week or a zoo.

The Gilroy Outlets are located off the Leavesley Road exit to Highway 101. Once you head east on Leavesley, you can turn either left or right since the Outlets actually encompass four adjoining properties right off the freeway. Try to avoid weekend afternoons where you're likely to be caught in the hoards of crowds. Also the In and Out restaurant at the Outlets has to be one of the busiest In and Outs the chain has!

Went to these outlets to meet up with my sister for a day of shopping. There are plenty of stores including Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, J. Crew, Banana Republic, Nike, etc. The one thing I don't like about this outlet center is that it is broken up into 4 different sections at a busy intersection, so you have to drive to each section. That can be a pain if it's crowded, and you have to look for parking each time. Also, there aren't a lot of dining options. There's a Starbucks and a couple of deli/cafe places. I always go to this Asian restaurant, Ginger Cafe, next to Building 4 with the Gap. Also, they don't have nice family restrooms like some of the newer outlets have. It's conveniently off the 101 Freeway, so it's a good stop to get some bargains if you are in the area.

I love going to these outlet stores. There are so many bargains. It would be easy to spend a day there. You can go online and get a free coupon book. Just google Gilroy Outlet Coupons

My partner would drive fifty miles out of the way to stop at the Gilroy outlets (and we did!) But this time, I scored at the Movado shop.

The entrance to the outlet is a bit confusing, and parking was a disaster. Had to park in the next lot over from the store we wished to visit. Trash cans on sidewalks were overflowing, and benches were a bit dirty. Stores are crammed with merchandise and NOT wheelchair accessible.

We were passing by Gilroy Premium Outlets to look for a sport store when I saw my favorite jeans brand was there. Gosh, even in Las Vegas I could not find it. I and my wife ended shooping a few pairs of jeans and the price was really amazing. It was discounted from suggested retail price and you still got additional 60% discount for the second jeans you bought. Gosh I could not believe it. In Singapore the price is almost double the the original price here. So, simply guess how many pairs of jeans I bought today?

Deals are ok usually, good only sometimes. I wouldnt go just for this but a fine shopping stop over if on your way. My wife has 50% chance of buying something here..that gives you an idea of goodness of deals.

I'm an outlet mall type of person...I'm not a big shopper. I'm more of a window shopper unless it's for someone else, but when I do browse/shop I like to save some moulah. These are an impressive group of stores nestled in four buildings. I think shoppers would've been better served if the layout would've housed all the outlets in one seamless stream rather than four separate banks of stores but that's just my unimportant and humble opinion. It's an outdoor outlet so if you have any inclement weather like we did it's not as fun to have to run to the other side of the street to get to the next part of the shopping mecca. Nevertheless, it's worthwhile and all the popular stores that would appeal to the general population are here. There are 145 stores to fulfill your shopping desires. If you go to their website you can see all the stores, their current sales, and sign-up for their VIP club if you'd like. There's not much in the way of good snack/food options here but you'll probably be too busy poking around to worry about filling your belly.

Whenever I'm in the area I stop at the outlets in Gilroy. The area is huge and has all the important brands. Sign up for the VIP club before you go and collect your coupons at the information center before you start shopping. This will get you even more great savings.

I must say this place is magnificent......so many shops......We were crazy covering all the shops and forgotten the time we needed actual food....we shop until all the shops closes.....the experience shopping here is similar of at Desert Palm....but the only set back was the outlet was separated in blocks where you actually need to drive....from one block to another.....other than that i am perfectly fine with this outlet.......

A place not to be missed if you are in San Jose. Most of the items are at least 20% off recommended retail price. Need to plan at least 6 hours if you are into decent shopping
