This is my first experience at a duty free store and the prices here are simply not that competitive. I also found the souvenir inventory to be lacking. I had a pocketful of CAD I was looking to blow on something before crossing back into the US but I genuinely couldn’t find anything worth buying. Most of the prices are the same you’d find at a Costco in the US lol
The management and staff are helpfull and kind. This place is very nice and clean. Highly recommended to have a stop and you can find very low prices.
Stuff was quite good there, but the staff there were very rude. So didn’t bought the perfume i was looking at and probably will not visit again.
This place was a very nice place. But their people need to be more informative. The alcohol was pretty cheap, the lady even boasted that no taxes, can’t beat that deal. What she neglected to tell me is that I would be stopped at the border and made to pay taxes entering the United States, the lady could’ve mentioned this to me and perhaps I wouldn’t have bought the alcohol. But oh no, thanks to her not mentioning, I spent one hour in line trying to get into the United States, then another hour inside secondary line waiting to pay taxes on the alcohol I bought. Thanks duty-free.
Such a horrible place! I drove there for the first time just to check the border with my family. The nail bed screwed my tires, which I never knew! Put signs at least so people can know ! One wrong turn resulted in a huge havoc for me! Ridiculously insane!
I stopped by after my first ever trip to Canada and hearing how it was a must stop.
I don't carry purses. I don't wear perfume. I can't speak to the price comparison. The clothing is very limited, tourist targeted and I saw better prices on the ferry from Victoria back to the mainland.
There is a ton of candy. The store has a lot of empty space and clearly shaped to funnel people one direction rather than allowing freely browsing.
The alcohol was a tad cheaper than I'm used to. That said I usually purchase my liquor at Trader Joes and Costco in Washington and I can say if not for the exchange rate value difference, it wasn't worth a stop. I needed some Irish Cream anywho...so why not. I did purchase a small batch bourbon I can't find locally and is rated one of the top 25 best across the board.
There is coffee and tea as well as baked goods avail...basically a duty free Starbucks. They did great on my London fog...better than average. Chai was average.
There is a decorative fountain as you exit. There is a washroom for customers.
There are some novelty sized liqour bottles which made me laugh.
You can park and walk to the edge of the park on the south side of the store. If you walk to the edge, there is a gap between trees where you can see the peace arch and get a distance selfie. You can't get close until you are through the boarder. Then there is an exit for it immediately.
All around, worth a one-time stop.

staff are friendly, you can browse freely 😊 got some really nice souvenir selections.
unfortunately the free 3 lens clip gift has a len missing & was onlyfound out after crossing the border, which is a little discouraging.

Always a good pit stop. I'll usually grab a bottle of alcohol but lately, I've been checking out the fragrances. The lady who works in that area was really sweet and helpful, recommending things based on what I said I like and don't like.
