King of Prussia Mall

Day 14 - 30° - cold, cloudy - Spring Meadows Park

I don’t see my breath yet, but it is cold. Molly and I are getting our walk in before the “playoffs” begin at 4:30 pm. Billy is a Patriots fan, so the big game we will be watching begins at 8 pm.

This week, day 12 & 13 I was in Philly to visit family and one of my walking days was spent at the King of Prussia Mall. http://www.kingofprussiamall.com/.

The King of Prussia mall is the largest mall in America. The Mall of America is larger by square footage, but King of Prussia has more stores (over 400)!! The mall has two floors and two separate sections - the Court and the Plaza. There is even a shuttle that goes from one place to the other.

If you love to shop, then I would say this is a destination that you wouldn’t want to miss. It has every store imaginable, from Neiman Marcus, Nordstram’s, Lord & Taylor to Salvatore Ferragamo, Coach, Victoria’s Secret and GameStop. Of course there are several foodcourts, because you will definitely need to rest.

I was taking my 93 year old mother shopping as she received a couple of gift certificates for Christmas. She is a very young 93 old, and fits the cliché, “shop ‘til you drop” perfectly. However, we did limit our spree because I would be the first to drop!

The King of Prussia Mall is a 2 hour drive from the Red Cardinal B&B. Simply take the Pennsylvania turnpike from Carlisle to King of Prussia. It is easy on and easy off. If you feel "guilty" for bringing your partner, who isn't into shopping as much as you, the Valley Forge National Park is nearby.


When you return, we will refresh you with homemade snacks and a delicious beverage.
