Free Parking in Premium Vineland

Aiming to arrive pre-opening to maximise chance of free parking (you can take the man out of Scotland . . . !) but are there specific free and payable areas bar the multi-storey? We always come in from I Drive along Vineland and take first entrance in so were always parked near Dressbarn/Rack Room entrance on past trips. Or do I have to carry on round to other side behind Adidas or Polo etc?

There is free parking where you are describing. Don't worry, the paid parts are obvious. If you arrive significantly before opening you will see how much of the parking is actually taken by staff. It is disgraceful really that they are allowed to take up most of the close spaces. When I worked at a mall on Cape Cod 30 years ago there was a yellow line halfway out that we weren't allowed to park past. There wasn't even a parking problem there!

I went a few times at various times of the day in June and had no issues getting free parking at either of the premium outlets.
Most of the adidas/polo side is free. I also got parked the other side easily too.

You were lucky. It does get quite difficult alot of the time.

Same, I despise paying to park when I’m shopping. I’ve always managed to find a space, it just might not be close, or the most convenient. Saying that, I’ve never been to FL over Xmas, Black Friday etc... I’m sure it’s a whole other beast!

The shops don't open until 10 so it is unlikely to be a problem then.

Donna as younsay 10 am parking fine and yes I'm there for opening now
Before charges it would be a stop on the way home after a day at theparks most days now maybe twice in a holiday at both the mayor outlets because of the parking charge no free parking we don't shop
But I'm a canny ( tight Scot ) I cN order online pick up.for freeor have it delivered which I do know visitors can't take from that what you will
