Is the King Of Prussia mall worth a three hour drive?|100512

I am planning on taking a trip to the King Of Prussia from CT is it worth the drive? About 3 hours and $35 in gas.

It all depends on why you would do it. It is the second largest mall in the US. It has some great stores, restaurants and it is conveniently located near major highways. If you live in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, and are looking for a day of shopping, it is probably worth an hour drive.

But, I am sure that between CT and PA you will pass the exits where there are at least ten malls with the same stores, the same chain restaurants that are conveniently accessible to the interstate.

If you want to tell people you have been to the 2nd biggest mall in the US (bragging rights?) I guess its worth the trip. Does it have anything there that you can_t find in half the distance? No, It is not like the Mall of America with amusement rides inside or anything that dramatic.

Don_t get me wrong, I really like the the Court and Plaza (the fancy names for the K of P mall). But if I were you, i would wait till I had some other reason to stay down here for a few days before I went to see it.

Don_t listen to those KoP haters! Sure, it has the usual (Old Navy, Modells, Penneys) but it also has the unusual - high end designer shops of all kinds, and seven different department storers. If you are a dedicated shopper, you might kick yourself for not going - in terms of actual retail space, it is bigger even than the legendary Mall of America, it just didn_t bother with such things as roller coasters. So just for the sheer spectacle, you should take a look, just so later on, you can say _Yeah, I went there. It was no big deal_ while secretly remembering what a good time you had.

Bring comfortable shoes, of course, and note that in Pennsylvania, there is no sales tax on clothes, so if you buy enough, you would offset the cost of gas and tolls.

While you are down this way, you might also consider a drive into the city - lots to do in Philly.

No! Please don_t get fooled. It_s just not worth it, plus the traffic in that area is just brutal. One wrong turn and you will be on the turnpike heading west. You will really get aggravated. Plan something else, go see a movie. Good Luck!

It_s an overpriced version of stores that are in every other mall. It_s about 20 min from my house and I_ve only gone once in the last few years and that was only to go to the IMAX movie theatre.

No mall is worth driving 3 hours. They all have the same stores and the same stuff.
