Tanger Outlets Southaven

4.5(7,405 reviews)FreeShopping
🕑 2-3 hours for focused shopping; up to 4 hours if browsing multiple stores or attending a seasonal event👶 Best for all ages, though most enjoyable for families with kids 5 and up who need clothing and shoes. Younger children (toddlers to age 4) may grow restless after an hour, so plan accordingly with breaks and bring a stroller for little ones.

Seasonal Notes

Spring and fall offer the most comfortable outdoor walking temperatures. Summer visits are best early in the day to avoid afternoon heat. The mall hosts special holiday events in November-December including photos with Santa. Check their events calendar for back-to-school deals in July-August.
