This village is a beautiful combination of quaint charm and modern finesse. There was ample parking and everything was a great walking distance. There's a great variety of foods and goods to indulge in, and the scenery with the university nearby is picturesque. I definitely would recommend for families with older kids, and couples/friends from young adults and up!

Wonderful place to take a little walk. It's a very small town but very romantic and cozy, very safe. They have Palmer square management holding up the center infrastructure, setting up events and maintaining businesses. You have different dining options, from fancy restaurants to budget options, cafes, etc. The university store and grounds are nearby, walking distance.

We always stop by here on our way home from NYC. Palmer Square is always packed with people visiting from all parts of the world. Window shopping, family fun, ice skating, browsing through the community, hanging out at the square on one of the benches with friends and family. The news stands, events, vinyl records shops, bakeries. They have plenty of shops along the road, with Princeton University at a walking distance. Lots of students, teenagers, hanging out at the Square just taking in the sights. Plenty to do and see. Great for just a scenic drive, jog, run, or walk.

Met up with my sister and her family for her birthday a few weeks ago. It was a Sunday, they had a jammin’ band (Phil Lesh had passed earlier that week) Super cool area to hangout. Nice people. Crowded but cool to walk around. A few local places had tents selling booze @ crafts. Parking in a garage is the best way I find to get around & not drive around looking for street parking. I’ll be back

Palmer Square is a great place to go for a walk, grab ice cream, enjoy a meal, or do a bit of shopping. It’s especially nice in the summer. Very family-oriented, and you’ll see plenty of people out with their dogs. Overall, a great option for eating and spending a relaxing day out.

This town square is DEFINITELY NOT LIKE ANY OTHER ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!! Since it's in Princeton, part of the UNIVERSITY and built so long ago, if feels so old world. It's like yale and Harvard vibes all the way. I'm very lucky to live so close. My wife and I love EVERY season here. All four and very unique from each other. Winter ☃️❄️ is always so beautiful. It brings such a different feel and vibe than the fall 🍂🍁 and WAAAY different than that summer ⛱️🌞 atmosphere. Whatever time of year, you decide to attend this little village, I guarantee you a great time. If you don't, don't worry, you don't have to buy anything to enjoy yourself here. Go and see for yourself.

Nice little square. Love the architecture. Nicely decorated during the holiday season complete, with a giant tree. The only shop I went into was Thomas Sweet Chocolate. The chocolate was pretty good but a little expensive. The small holiday display in the window of the shop is worth checking out.

Absolutely a must when visiting Princeton during the holidays. Beautiful Christmas tree and town square area with so much to offer. Absolutely gorgeous spot to enjoy the Christmas lights and the many shops in the area. Definitely recommend shopping at the chocolate shop across the street and the ice cream shop. Definitely recommend this area during the holidays. You will feel like you are in a Christmas Hallmark movie. 🎄

Lovely shops, art galleries and restaurants like the Mediterranean and Hermes. Be sure to visit Mike's barbershop and say hello to Mike. He has the most wonderful mother, Rose. If you fancy a stroll parking in the prospect, parking garage after hours is free.
