About
Tanger Outlets National Harbor brings together more than 80 brand-name and designer outlet stores in a vibrant open-air shopping center along the Potomac River waterfront. Located just minutes from Washington, D.C., this outlet center offers an inviting mix of fashion, footwear, accessories, and home goods at outlet prices.
Visitors will find popular retailers like Nike, Coach, Michael Kors, Under Armour, and Columbia, among many others. The open-air layout means you're shopping outdoors, which is wonderful on pleasant days but worth planning around during extreme weather. Dress in layers during cooler months and bring sun protection in summer.
Beyond shopping, the surrounding National Harbor area offers plenty to explore. The waterfront district features restaurants, entertainment venues, and the iconic Capital Wheel - a 180-foot observation wheel with stunning views of the Potomac. The neighborhood is walkable and lively, making it easy to pair a shopping trip with a meal or evening out.
Tanger Outlets runs frequent sales events and seasonal promotions throughout the year. Joining TangerClub (free to sign up) unlocks additional discounts and rewards. It's worth checking the Tanger website or app before your visit to see what deals are available.
Food options within the outlet center itself are somewhat limited - you'll find a Starbucks and a few quick-service spots. For a wider selection, the many restaurants in the greater National Harbor area are just a short walk away.
Getting there is straightforward. The outlets sit right off Oxon Hill Road (Route 210) with plenty of on-site parking. If you're coming from D.C., it's about a 15-minute drive depending on traffic. The address is 6800 Oxon Hill Road, National Harbor, MD 20745. Hours vary by season, so check the Tanger website at tanger.com before heading out.
Whether you're a deal hunter looking for designer brands at reduced prices or simply want a pleasant outdoor shopping experience near the capital, Tanger Outlets National Harbor is a solid choice for a day out.
Accessibility
Tanger Outlets National Harbor is wheelchair accessible, with no steps or stairs reported at the shopping center. The open-air layout features paved walkways between stores that accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices.
On-site parking is available for customers, and designated accessible parking spaces are provided. Restroom facilities are available on the property.
The center accepts contactless payment methods including Apple Pay and Android Pay, which can make transactions easier for shoppers with limited hand dexterity.
Because this is an outdoor, open-air shopping center, visitors should be aware that there is no climate-controlled enclosed space connecting the stores. This is an important consideration for visitors sensitive to heat, cold, or weather conditions. Plan your visit around comfortable weather when possible, and note that individual stores are climate-controlled inside.
Tanger's corporate website (tanger.com) states a commitment to digital accessibility for users of assistive technologies, including screen readers and screen enlargement software.
The surrounding National Harbor waterfront area is generally flat and walkable, which may support continued accessible exploration beyond the outlets themselves.
For specific questions about accessibility accommodations - such as wheelchair or scooter rentals, service animal policies, sensory-friendly hours, or assistance from staff - contact Tanger Outlets National Harbor directly before your visit. Their team can provide the most current details on available services and any temporary accessibility changes due to construction or seasonal events.
