Full Description

Woodbury Common Premium Outlets

Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, in Central Valley in the Hudson Valley, is one of the best-known outlet centres in the United States and the biggest near New York City. It opened in 1985 and now has around 220 stores, laid out along open-air streets in the style of a village. People who search for a Woodbury Common shopping trip from New York usually want to know what is there: fashion, sportswear, footwear, household goods and children's clothing from well-known brands, at outlet discounts.

The centre also has places to eat and rest, so you can shop for hours without leaving the site. Bring a light bag for your purchases and comfortable shoes, since the outlets cover a large area and you will walk a lot.

The bus from Manhattan and the scenic drive

Your bus leaves from a meeting point in Manhattan, and the drive takes about an hour and a half each way, heading north through the Hudson Valley. A reserved seat means you do not have to worry about finding a place on board, and you avoid the cost and stress of driving and parking near the outlets.

The drive shows a different side of New York State, with hills, forests and small towns after the city. The default option departs at 9:30 am and returns at 6:30 pm, while other options change the departure and return times, so choose the one that fits how long you want to shop.

Planning your shopping day

Your ticket includes a discount e-booklet, which lists offers at the outlets and helps you plan your visit. Decide which stores you want first, then move on to browsing. The best time to visit Woodbury Common depends on your tastes: weekdays are usually calmer, while weekends and sales periods are busier.

Take note of the return time on your voucher, as the bus leaves at the scheduled time and will not wait. Food and drinks are not included, and the shops each have their own return and payment policies. If you are wondering how to get to Woodbury Common from Manhattan without a car, this bus is the simplest way.
