It is a more upscale and pricy area, so the shops reflect that for the most part. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at; Boca, Panera, BriarPatch, to name a few, there's a good variety! I love going to Spice and Tea for their selections of spices and an Iced Crème Brûlée Tea. There are also services like glasses and a Truist bank on Park Ave. plenty of services to choose from! Even a real estate agent office! There are shops for everyone! Kathmandu for Crystals and metaphysical goods. Achiest Olive for oils, vinegar and pantry items!

I really wanted to visit a Lilly Pulitzer store, and saw there was one located in Winter Park. I saw that there was other shopping options, and a Tiffany glass museum, so decided to spend my day here. I had no idea what a wonderful visit my day would turn out to be! There are wonderful places to eat, great shopping, a museum, and a park. I didn't have trouble finding parking, but I could see where it would be difficult on a busy day. I would highly recommend this area if you are in town visiting.

Also was there in time for the B&BW sale so walked out with a few bags from them too. The mall was quite busy.

Second time at this mall bc I love Cranes Roost Park which is right close to it…read more We were in the area, and we needed to walk inside so we decided to come here. When we first come in, I feel like I'm flashing back to being a little kid. It is a bit dated to when it originally opened. I looked it up and that was 1974. Surprisingly when walking through the mall, it's pretty happening. It still has a good amount of stores. We walked our dog here which was nice and we like to sit down somewhere comfy so he can eat since it's the middle of the day. This mall served its purpose with us. They also have a parking garage which we like our car to be shaded. We stopped at Bath and Body, & a few other stores that are popular everywhere.

Not much here left but it does have a good shoe store and lots of unique stores for games, comic books. A lot of places to get your picture taken. They even have an event hall for weddings.

It has a number of businesses in the shopping center including restaurants such as Wingstop, 5 Guys Burgers, and Cold Stone Creamery. It also has businesses offering a variety of services, including Ideal Image (specialists in beauty treatments and laser hair removal) as well as Spectrum (high-speed internet, mobile phone service, landline phone service, and cable service for residential and commercial properties,). The plaza is connected to Cranes Roost Park, several top-rated hotels, apartments/condos/lofts, office space, and more. The plaza is very clean, offers ample parking space for patrons, and colorful buildings to add to the tropical year-round weather. I definitely recommend checking out this Plaza if you haven't done so yet! It is easy to access from virtually everywhere and Orange and Seminole counties.

It seems like every time I go to Nordstrom Rack, I'm on a time crunch and can never spend as long…read moreas I'd like shopping around. I could honestly spend hours browsing here, but I do need to be looking for something specific in order to have success. I love to shop here for shoes and clothing brands that I love at more affordable prices. Most recently I was looking for leather loafers for work and shorts for summer. I was able to find both! I got some very comfortable Cole Haan loafers and a couple pairs of athletic shorts/skorts, plus a pair of jean shorts. They had some really cute pajamas as well, but I used self control and did not purchase them. I also love to shop here for toddler shoes for my son. They have discounted Adidas, Converse, New Balance, etc. in his tiny size and they are just adorable.

Experience is always pretty good here. This time there wasn't too much that I was interested in. I…read morefeel like it is a bit pricey for the material of some of the clothing. I feel like unless if you're getting something specifically name brand that you cannot find at Ross or Burlington then it will be good, but I don't feel that they have that many trendy pieces they have a few and then most of it is just collared stuff. Like collared shirts and all different styles, but all with a collar. The shoes also.. there are only a few that you cannot find at Ross, but as far as the sandals and stuff like that, if they are Calvin Klein or Steve Madden and Dolce Vita, those are going to be way more expensive here than at Ross or Burlington. Other than that it's still a fun place to shop. I just didn't see anything this time around and spent so long almost an hour and a half and couldn't really find anything but one bag and a pair of seamless shorts.

There's a First Watch, boba shop and a newer Ramen shop that came here last year. They have a good amount of dining options in this area.

A large variety of dining, some shopping ( including an upscale furniture store that used to be a Borders book store) and a movie theater. I could make a whole trip out of just this shopping center.

This last visit we went to Chayote and Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream for my bday. In the past we have visited the Cheesecake Factory here. There's a movie theater and other restaurants and boutiques here. It's a perfect place to walk around and check out the shops and have a bite. Love that it is here and there are quite a bit more stores in this section. Check it out. They also have weekly concerts which you can check out in their site.

I have been told that the main problem is that the rent is ridiculously high so no businesses can afford to be here. That's pretty sad. It would be nice to see some other things here besides the few businesses that somehow survive. I mean... the Wendy's couldn't even survive. That's SO SAD.

The Winter Springs Ghost Town Center…read more This plaza was the folly of the contractor and the Winter Springs City Commission. The place was given tax breaks, building code accommodations, etc... so Winter Springs could have a "downtown". Well, if that was the goal, they failed miserably. Most of the Ghost Town Center is empty and the real estate company is not dropping the rent to attract more business. Too many businesses have failed or moved out. Even the Wendy's burger joint couldn't stay open. There are some good points. I LOVE the Publix there! The staff is top-notch and friendly. The deli makes a really good sub and the sale items are rarely out of stock. They just remodeled (even though it wasn't very old) and looks better. They have a farmer's market there on Saturday mornings, but there aren't many farmers there. People just buy a case of, for example, tomatoes from the real Farmer's market in Sanford and just mark them up. However, there was a couple selling free-range eggs and another selling honey. They were legitimate. The only restaurants that have stayed in business are the Subway and the Tijuana Flats. There is a wine shop but who knows how long they will stay there. There was a seafood restaurant that closed one day, with a note on the door that is closed due to the flu. That was there for a month or two and never opened back up. Another restaurant location has been a Beef O'Brady's, a Mexican place and two or three other restaurants. None of them could make it. Behind the Ghost Town Center is a city park that is well maintained. There is a memorial to fallen service members there. The Winter Springs Art Festival is located there. If you are local, it's a good place to shop, but there is nothing worth driving more than 10 miles for at this place... Unless you like looking at empty storefronts.
