About Great Lakes Crossing Outlets

Michigan's largest outlet mall featuring family entertainment attractions including SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium and LEGOLAND Discovery Center Detroit.

Great Lakes Crossing Outlets is the largest outlet shopping mall in the state of Michigan, located in the Detroit suburb of Auburn Hills. The mall features 1.355 million square feet of gross leasable area on a single floor, housing over 170 stores. It was developed by Taubman Centers and opened on November 12, 1998, on a site originally planned for the Auburn Mills project.

The mall is known for its unique layout, divided into nine distinct décor districts situated along an oval-shaped corridor. As a major regional attraction, it is described as a top tourist shopping destination in Michigan, with over 30 percent of its annual sales generated by out-of-state visitors. The center includes a 1,000-seat food court and several family-oriented amenities.

In addition to traditional retail, the mall serves as a major entertainment hub. Key attractions include a 25-screen AMC Star movie theater, the Sea Life Michigan aquarium, Legoland Discovery Center, and the Japanese entertainment franchise Round1 Bowling & Arcade. The property is currently owned by Simon Property Group following their acquisition of Taubman Realty Group.
