You let the Woodbury Bus handle all of that.
This is our fully updated 2026 guide to shopping Woodbury Common Premium Outlets. We have refreshed the store listings, updated the dining section, added smart shopping strategies, and packed in everything you need to plan an unforgettable day. Whether this is your first trip or your fiftieth, we think you are going to love what is waiting for you.
Woodbury Common Premium Outlets opened in 1985 in Central Valley, New York, nestled in the scenic heart of Orange County’s Hudson Valley. The surrounding community of Woodbury has deep roots in American history. The region sits not far from West Point Military Academy, the famous Revolutionary War trails, and the storied Hudson River. For generations, New Yorkers have made the trip north into this part of the state to breathe cleaner air, pick apples at farm stands, and enjoy a slower pace of life. No one could have predicted that a collection of factory outlet stores on Route 32 would one day become one of the most visited shopping destinations on the planet. But that is exactly what happened.
Under the stewardship of Simon Property Group, Woodbury Common has grown from a modest cluster of shops into a sprawling outlet village with over 270 stores spanning five distinct, color-coded shopping districts. A landmark 2024 expansion added more than 20 new stores, including buzzy names like Maison Margiela, David Yurman, Roberto Cavalli, Reformation, and Laduree, cementing Woodbury’s place in the absolute top tier of global outlet shopping.
Today the center draws shoppers from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. International visitors from Asia, Europe, and South America consider a Woodbury trip an essential part of any New York experience. The center even offers multilingual staff support in Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, French, and Korean. This is not simply a place to shop. It is a destination.
Getting to Woodbury Common the smart way means riding with us. The Woodbury Bus departs daily from 1651 Broadway (West 51st Street and Broadway, right in front of McDonald’s) in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Your seat is reserved and guaranteed the moment you book online. No hunting for parking, no toll plaza anxiety, no circling a crowded lot. Just settle in, enjoy the free Wi-Fi, and let the Hudson Valley scenery roll by outside your window.
Departure times run at 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 11:30 a.m., and return buses depart from Woodbury Common Bus Plaza 2 at 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. That gives you a beautifully flexible range of shopping windows, from a focused four-hour sprint to a full, leisurely ten-hour day. Most riders spend about 5 to 5.5 hours at the outlets, which feels like the sweet spot for covering the highlights without exhausting themselves.
Round-trip tickets start at $45 plus a booking fee, which is a remarkably good deal when you consider what the alternative looks like: gas, tolls, parking fees, and a driver who cannot enjoy the trip the way a passenger can. And every Woodbury Bus rider receives a free E-Coupon book worth over $50 in additional savings at the outlets. The deals start before you even walk through the first store entrance.
And the ride home? That is genuinely one of the best parts. Bags stacked, feet happily tired, you settle back into your comfortable seat, maybe close your eyes for a little nap, and wake up back in Midtown feeling like the most successful version of yourself. The Woodbury Bus experience truly makes the whole adventure more enjoyable from start to finish.
Need to bring a big crew? Group sales are available for parties of 15 or more. Want the ultimate luxury experience? Private Shopping Tours in executive Sprinter vans or SUVs are available for those who want a tailored, personalized day out.
With over 270 stores across five color-coded districts, Woodbury Common can feel wonderfully overwhelming on first arrival. A little planning goes a long way. Here are our tried-and-true tips.
Download the map before you go. The Woodbury Common interactive map is your best friend. Familiarize yourself with which district holds which stores before you arrive, and you will move through the center with purpose instead of wandering in happy but slightly dizzy circles.
Catch an early bus. The 8:30 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. departures put you at the outlets right around opening time. Crowds are thinnest before 11:00 a.m., selection is at its peak, and the energy is fresh and unhurried. This is especially true on weekdays, when Woodbury is noticeably quieter than on weekends.
Browse the Deals page first. Visit the Woodbury Common Deals page before your trip. Deals change weekly and sometimes daily, and knowing which stores are running clearance events or outlet-exclusive promotions can help you prioritize your route.
Sign up for Simon+: The Simon+ loyalty program offers cash back, member-only rewards, and exclusive offers. If you visit Woodbury more than once a year, this membership pays for itself quickly.
Use the shopping trolleys: Free rolling trolleys are available throughout the center and are genuinely lifesaving when you have accumulated four or five bags and still have an entire district left to explore. Wheelchairs and motorized scooters are also available for guests who need them.
Organize by district, not by brand name: Work your way through one color-coded zone before moving to the next. You will cover far more ground with far fewer steps than if you are crisscrossing the layout all day.
Save luxury for the morning: The luxury district is spectacular, but it can also absorb a surprising amount of time. Visit your specific luxury targets early when the staff is fresh and the floor is uncrowded, then transition to contemporary and specialty shopping afterward.
Woodbury Common’s full store directory is kept up to date on our website and at the Premium Outlets site. Here is a curated overview of the highlights across every major shopping category, current as of May 2026.

A full day of shopping calls for a full day of good eating, and Woodbury Common delivers with impressive variety. Our dedicated dining guide covers every eatery in detail, but here is an overview to help you plan your day.
For a proper sit-down experience, the standouts are beloved. Parm brings its legendary New York Italian comfort food to the outlets, and the chicken parm sandwich alone is worth planning your lunch around. Shake Shack consistently draws a crowd with its elevated burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and thick milkshakes. Kinton Ramen is the real deal for ramen lovers, with rich broths and beautifully topped bowls that feel like a genuine downtown restaurant experience. BareBurger offers an organic, thoughtful burger experience for guests who love knowing exactly what is in their meal. And Bollicine Champagne Bar is a wonderful, festive choice for celebrating a great find over a glass of bubbles. We love that this exists at an outlet mall.
For a quick, satisfying bite without losing too much shopping momentum, the options are varied and delicious. Chipotle is a dependable, customizable classic. Jersey Mike’s Subs serves East Coast-style subs on freshly baked bread. Pagoda Asian Grill by P.F. Chang’s brings familiar flavors in a faster format. Melt Shop does excellent grilled cheese and comfort food. Playa Bowls is perfect for a fresh acai bowl or smoothie when you want something light and energizing. Umi Teriyaki offers simple, satisfying Japanese-inspired plates. And if all you need is something fast and familiar, Chipotle and McDonald’s are both on site.
For sweet moments and afternoon treats, Woodbury Common is genuinely one of the best outlet centers anywhere on this front. Laduree brings authentic Parisian macarons and pastries in that iconic green and gold packaging. Laderach Chocolatier Suisse is a Swiss chocolate lover’s dream, with fresh-cut chocolate slabs as gorgeous as they are delicious. Lady M Cake Boutique offers those incredible handmade mille crepe cakes beloved at top NYC restaurants. Haagen-Dazs delivers the classic premium ice cream experience. Cinnabon fills the air with that irresistible warm cinnamon scent. Pinkberry keeps frozen yogurt fans very happy.

One pro tip from experienced Woodbury shoppers: sit down for a proper lunch, even if it costs you 45 minutes of shopping time. You will browse more sharply and feel better in the afternoon than if you try to power through on pretzel bites alone. The outlets are big. Pacing matters.
