Baos castle that was owned by the son of the sushi restaurant was here for a while. I've been to the Massage Envy once or twice. I'm no stranger to this shopping center. I could make it into a day trip!

Also the ice cream from Fragaria New Zealand ice cream and I was amazed how good it was!! The service on every kiosk was top notch , prices were decent and the whole event was very organized! Definitely something I will love to do every year!

Upsides: plenty of shopping, several restaurants / food places, lots and lots of parking…read more Downsides: really spread out and hard to walk from place to place without moving the car (think FL summer), spread out parking lot leads to chaotic driving / drivers. Shops include Pier 1 Imports, Hallmark, Big Lots, Ross, Ulta, Bealls, Hobby Lobby, Total Wine, Old Navy, Babies R Us, Walgreens, Barnes and Noble, Bulk Nation, and more! Restaurants / food places include Burrito Kitchen, Chick-fil-A, Ale House, Too Jays, and a couple more. This is a great and convenient place to find shops close by without having to drive to malls further away that have the same shops. It's a downer that during the summer months, this place is really hard to get from shop to shop without having to jump back in your car and move. It's around 90 - 105 degrees in the summer, so walking all the way across this giant lot to get from, example, Total Wine to Old Navy, would make you melt. Overall: A Convenient, but too spread out.

I have been shopping at the Colonial Plaza Center for many years. Before the redesign creating the…read moreopen air concept it was in direct competition with the Fashion Square Mall. Currently the Colonial Plaza has a couple of big box stores and a little bit of everything else tossed in. You will find discount stores, speciality stores, restaurants and personal services. Parking is adequate and you can usually find a space close to where you want to shop. The mall has spread out a lot over the years so if you are doing a large amount of shopping you will probably move your car around or stop by to drop off purchases before hitting another store.

This small plaza is geared more for businesses offering services than shopping, but if you are…read morecoming here to meet one of the businesses, it appears relatively well-maintained. It is also just off of Orange Avenue, so it is convenient and there is ample parking.

The Legos availability was amazing. Three complete aisles with very well-stocked and organized items. All Bacchus were in pristine condition and all items were at their labeled locations. Other retailers, the boxes are in disarray and not under their labeled location in price. We did not see many discounts, but the large build boxes were available and great to see.

I was impressed with the wide variety of snacks they offered. I was looking for fuel for a long…read morehike and finding some energy snacks in the fitness/sporting goods section was a big score! Then to see the variety of dried, freeze-dried, and protein snacks was another win. One tip would be not to come too early after opening as not all the shelves were fully stocked yet--Although the place was near empty, which made for a pleasant and quick shopping experience. I always find this Target to be clean and organized. Parking in the garage is easy although I kind of dislike that you have to take the escalators up and down each time. I often try to find street parking on the side streets or right out front if I can.

This spot scheduled to begin construction in early 2007 and it truly didn't become anything of sustenance until last year. I do have to say, I love the way everything has turned out aesthetically. It is no longer an eye sore and has many spots to check out! Mills Park is the home of Gallery at Mills Park Apartments and it's a 5 story, 300 apartment home. Very modern and sleek looking but my favorite part is when you walk around you can see a ton of gorgeous woodwork and they used the old mill yard wood to make these pieces. Very cool. The parking isn't very ample but things are still in the construction phases. It appears more parking will be coming. It sits on the Orlando Urban Trail so it's a great starting or resting point if you want to enjoy the trail. Tons of bike parking throughout the area as well. There is a variety of spots to grab food including: The Fresh Market Firebirds Segafredo - Rooftop! Brass Tap - Outside seating! First Watch Giraffas Other spots are: AT&T store Dr. Phillips Specialty Pharmacy Pure Barre Cherry Blow Dry Bar Marilyn Monroe Nail Boutique I have enjoyed watching this grow from conception and I can't wait to see what else is in store for this location.
