Gymboree Children’s Clothing: Shopping Options in Syracuse, Onondaga County, and Within 100 Miles of Syracuse
Gymboree has been a beloved name in children’s fashion since 1976, famous for its bright, playful, durable clothing that celebrates
childhood. Known for mix-and-match collections, family coordinating outfits, high-quality fabrics built to last through hand-me-downs,
and sizes from newborn to 12, Gymboree outfits generations of kids with whimsical designs, holiday themes, and everyday essentials.
After filing for bankruptcy in 2019 and closing all stores (including several Upstate New York locations), the brand was acquired by
The Children’s Place. It relaunched successfully online in 2020 and gradually reopened physical locations — mostly as outlets or
co-branded stores. As of late 2025, Gymboree operates primarily through its website (gymboree.com) but maintains select physical stores
across the U.S., with a strong presence in outlet centers. Many locations are Gymboree sections within or alongside The Children’s Place
stores, offering the full range of Gymboree collections at great prices.
For families in the Syracuse and Onondaga County area, good news: you don’t have to rely solely on shipping. There are convenient
physical shopping options right in Syracuse and within an easy drive.

The Waterloo Premium Outlets center is one of the best in Upstate NY, with over 100 stores (Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Coach, etc.). The Gymboree Outlet here carries past-season styles, overstock, and exclusive outlet pieces at steep markdowns — ideal for stocking up on basics or filling holiday gift lists without breaking the bank.
The drive from Syracuse is straightforward via I-90 west (Thruway), and the outlet is right off the exit. It’s a popular weekend
destination, especially during holiday sales or tax-free weeks.
Other Gymboree Locations Within ~100 Miles
Unfortunately, there are no other dedicated Gymboree stores or outlets within a strict 100-mile radius of Syracuse as of December 2025.
The next closest options are:
• Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls (Niagara Falls, NY) – ~155–165 miles.
• Crossgates Mall or other Albany-area locations – previously had Gymboree but currently none listed.
If you’re willing to stretch slightly beyond 110 miles for a bigger outlet trip, the Niagara location often has excellent clearance
events.
