The King of Prussia Mall is the largest mall on the East Coast. It is about a ten minute drive from campus and definitely worth the trip - especially since you don't have to even think about taking 76W. It is a beautiful mall. It has two separate buildings: the Court and the Plaza which are linked by a covered walkway.

The mall has eight department stores including Nordstrom's, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus and Lord and Taylor. In addition to the department stores, the mall has over 400 stores and restaurants. Just about any store you can think of is in either the Court or the Plaza; in fact some stores such as the Gap and Victoria's Secret have a location in both. The mall also has great dining with everything from California Pizza Kitchen to Morton's Steakhouse.

King of Prussia is a great shopping experience and is so close. However, if you just want to go to the mall for just one or two things and do not want to spend a lot of time; it is recommended that you do this errand type shopping during the week because on the weekends it can get really crowded.
