If you’re looking for a one of the best shopping experiences in Philadelphia, King of Prussia Mall is certain to slake your thirst for retail therapy. The largest shopping mall on the East Coast, it was originally opened in 1963 but after its owners recognized a growing demand for more upscale retail in the area, the 1970s and 1980s saw tremendous expansion in the area, culminating with a complete reconstruction of the mall in the early 1990s to lure high-end stores like Lord & Taylor and Nordstrom. The mall today has over 400 stores and restaurants, anchored by Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, JCPenney and Sears. This place is absolutely huge, so expect to spend a solid day shopping if you want to see everything. One complaint that frequent shoppers have is that parking can be a chore – there are plenty of spots, but when the mall gets crowded you might have to walk a bit from your parking space.
