I've lived in Seminole County for 20 years, and I rarely visit the mall, which is a few miles from me. Was close by today, so I decided to stretch my legs and walk inside via the food court. Saw the bookstore, which is straight through and wandered around, seeing lots of lovely books and other knickknacks, but I was hungry, so I did not linger. Walked to food court and was going to order from Zen but then wound up wandering away and out of the mall. I know malls are a dying thing, I was there at 330p on a Friday, so hopefully, during the weekend, more folks keep the businesses there going. read more

The mall is dead . What a shame. It was once such a thriving place to shop and eat. Now only Dillards and a hand full of specialty stores are open. Dillards is the head that does not know the body is dead and decaying. Most of the stores have moved to Altimont Mall. Not sure how much longer this will last. read more

The Seminole Town Mall, which used to be a beautiful mall and always flowing with happy customers has been closed! It is not known when it will reopen. Sadly this has happened due to unpaid electric bills and unpaid property tax. The ONLY businesses that are still up and running is, Dillards, JC Penney and the entertainment complex, ELEV8. My husband and I will very much miss this mall. read more

This is like a 3.5 star mall that is fighting to stay alive in a world of dying malls, so an extra half star for effort. Something needs to happen to breed new life into this place before it goes to complete garbage. The Pandemic hasn't helped, but it was kinda non-thriving before. Maybe if they renamed it to Sanford Mall, it would attract people like Downtown Sanford. With that being said, I do like shopping here. It's not AS dead as other malls that are truly on their last leg and kind of scary to be in. I like the Dillards here at this store, as well as the Rock Stop, Hot Topic, and Spencers which always has helpful, friendly staff. They all seem happier at this mall, and maybe it's because downtown Sanford bar crawls are on their agenda after work. I'd be happy too. The food court is spacious and last time I was there, they didn't seem to be in dire straights. They do still have a JC Penney's as well and with the closing of Macy's, there's not much left. Maybe something will bring new life into this mall before it cannot be revived. I'll keep going when I'm in the area though. read more

I loved This mall. Im sad to see it closed but im also looking foward to the redevelopment. Lots of memories here

This mall is perfect - to hide in after the zombie apocalypse hits. Because NO ONE comes here. Even the food court is sad. There's a Dillard's here, a JC Penney, and a Bath & Body Works, Dick's Sporting, and Elev8. The always fusty-smelling Spencer's and Hot Topic, too. That's it. This mall is the definition of "ghost town." One half of it is mostly dark and they've got so little foot traffic they've turned off a few of the escalators. The roof leaks and they've set out bins to catch the water that have been there for so long, they smell when you walk by. There is no security around and the parking lot has donut tracks, which means Fast and Furious wannabes have managed to find some use for this place. I walked the entire mall after work tonight and saw, maybe, 15 other people (not including employees). Malls are going the way of VHS tapes, but I would suggest the owners of STC get a jump on things, raze this mall, and sell to an apartment complex developer. read more

It's not so much this indoor mall it's more that I don't care for indoor malls no matter where it's located. There are a few things that struck me immediately upon entering the main mall entrance. The food court is placed immediately in front if the entrance forcing visited wall around and between the tables where people are eating to gain entry to the shopping area. If you take an immediate left or right you'll have to fight off restaurants staff that are given the task to lure potential customers into trying their restaurant- this is rather disgusting in my opinion strangers fingering food samples uhmm no thank you and please step aside I am trying to shop here. I mean it's not like I drove an hour to get here to have lunch. The mall was clean and pretty much empty, for a shopping venue this size I guess that could be attractive, well I came here for an appointment and it didn't work out so I was in and out rather quickly... read more

This is a great little mall it has a really nice look to it .this mall is not very crowded at all compared to nyc mall shoppers standards. But it is a very clean and fun mall that has a numerous stores and some nice restaurants. Auntie Anne's and planet smoothie which are connected to each other. They also have a Macy's I really enjoyed there food court we went directly over to their chick fil la.but there was a nice variety of restaurants to choose from sushi heaven Charley's philly cheeses steak. Mandarin Express restaurant. Pita gourmet the food court was really nice and clean and it even had a trampoline for kids in it .so getting back to the food I ordered the spicy chicken breast sandwich from chick fil a with therr waffle French fries. And my wife had the chicken teriyaki with white rice in it.it had a really good taste to it .the mall also has a mini train for kids on the lower level of the mall .I believe it takes them for a little ride in a circle. Awesome I would definitely go back in the future. read more

I've lived in many places and seem highs n lows in commerce but this place beats em all in depression and emptiness. I was flabbergasted at how many empty stores there were and at my visit I saw 2 more packing up. read more

This used to be a mall, a really good mall. Now we have indoor walking facility where if you time it right, you might be able to get a free sample of orange chicken. I am very thankful Dillards is still there for now. There is also something called Elevate that is an entertainment center I will visit soon. When its hot it still is a good place to get in a few steps. read more

Really surprised how dead this place is. 11am on a Saturday isn't peak hours but wow what a ghost town! All the normal mall stores are here. A few mom and pop shops which is nice to see. A huge fitness center. But a ton of empty store fronts. And even though the mall opened at 10, many places didn't open until 11. You can just tell this place is headed for the graveyard. And it's surrounded by a million strip malls which all had very busy parking lots. The era of the mid-scale mall seems to be dead. read more

Visited on a Sunday morning. I thought the stores would all be open around 10:30am/11am. Nope. They did not open till 12pm. Disappointed on not checking this prior to my arrival. The main reason was returning something at Dicks sporting goods. Did not have an opportunity to visit any other stores as they were not open. Will definitely try to get back (after 12pm of course on a Sunday). read more

Seminole Mall has always been a fun place to visit. It is sad Sears went out of business and now Macy's. With online shopping it appears that malls are a thing of the past. Will always return to Seminole Mall but really aren't interested in the current stores now that I am an old man. Still enjoy the food court. read more

One of the worse malls, bathroom had no paper towels or hand blower. The bathroom did have a place to put your used needles. The food court is horribly expensive and low par. Only chickfila and taco bell seem to be reasonable. The odd thing is they have more stores then Oviedo and not as empty as Oviedo. I will try and post the needle disposal thing in bathroom. Guys nothing to dry hands in mens or womens rooms. read more

I went there last weekend to pick up my order from Hot Topic, there was NO AIR CONDITIONING and there was a fan on instead, which did not help!!! I got dizzy and felt nauseous after being in there for 1 hour!! I drank cold water before I went in there and I hydrate often because I know how to deal with Florida weather. I still could NOT TAKE THAT HEAT!!!! I feel sorry for those employees because those are unsafe working conditions. FIX THE A/C!!! I would rather have A/C than lights. read more

This is a decent enough mall with the usual anchor stores and the usual spectrum of chain stores. But scattered through those were a couple of serious standouts that I've not seen before. I was particular impressed with the comic book shop which I'll get to reviewing soon. Plenty of parking and easy enough to access from I-4. One question - how many cell phone repair shops do we really need in a mall? This place had FOUR. read more

The mall is dead and for some reason none of the stores have air conditioning. We went to pick up an online order and make some more purchases at bath and body works and left sweating from the lack of AC. I'm not sure why, but Dicks had AC. I also have used the nail salon and massage venue which both do not have AC, while the new Elev8 fun does have air. It's sad to see this place die as I love these businesses and want to see them thrive. But, with no AC Im finding it hard to continue to go back to the stores. read more

Well..... it's better than the Oviedo Mall?? Is that a compliment? I mean... it has some stores in it that I can't find otherwise (like a Godiva) but then there are stores in here that make me feel like it's getting to be a little over run by gypsies. Sadly, the department stores are getting shut down left and right (Bye, Sears and Macys). Also, who doesn't have a Starbucks?? (cries) My favorite part of going to this mall is that: 1) It has an iSpice :) Yessss Samosas 2) Winey Wench (did someone say wine slushie??) There are good aspects to having a low key mall. You don't have to shop with ridiculous crowds all the time and it can make your experience less stressful but sometimes when you need to find JUST the right thing... you might need to hop over to a couple other malls in addition. read more

I remember the day it opened. What an exciting time that was! This was THE place to go to years ago. As time passes, there are stores you watch that sadly come and go. I can't quite put my finger on it, but when I come here, I just don't get that warm, fuzzy, fun....shopping-excitement deep down inside like I get when I go to the Mall at Millenia, or even the Altamonte Mall! The stores are decent....for me, I come here to get my semi-annual haul of hand soap and candles from Bath & Body Works and White Barn. Other than that, I feel like you can have a better shopping experience elsewhere. That's just my personal opinion. read more

The has been around for a long time and it shows. While it has all of the main anchor stores that one comes to expect from a mall it also has a lot of off brand name stores that have taken over throughout. The mall itself is huge and offers a great walking experience. It has one main long corridor with an anchor it either end. One really good thing about this is that there are not a lot of kiosks in the middle with people trying to stop you and get you to buy their product to. Well the mall is clean and has stores in almost every storefront it also feels old and in need of updating. Overall: B A little updating needing, but not bad in the whole. Good for getting your steps in! read more

I been coming to this mall for years sense i was a little kid and i have always personally like this mall they have a good food court and plenty of stores for you to shop also there is a plaza near by with a bunch of other stores near by that had really good sales at one time and even though the drive here sucks sense i live a bit far away it is always fun to drive up to this mall and its only a few miles from Lake Mary. I prefer the Altamonte Mall it is more cleaner and better organize but does not have as many stores as this mall so i rate it four stars not quit the perfect mall but better then nothing. read more

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Picture this: you're eleven years old and your mom has picked up you and 3 of your friends to go shopping at the luxurious and elusive mall. You are wearing a pink spaghetti strap top with stonewashed jeans and knee high black ugg boots. Your hair is in pigtails and your excitement is immeasurable. You walk in and suddenly heaviness overcomes you like a thick blanket that leaves you gasping for air. You smell something you've never smelt before and later learn is marijuana. You're confused? How can this be the place of your dreams yet also now your nightmares. It's like color has left your vision- sucked out by the despairing teens who work at one of three asian restaurants in the food court. There's a bar open with a fish tank and a pirate statue, but oddly enough no one is there. As you walk around you experience deja vu as the spirit of mediocrity enters your body. Even now it has left but the feeling that life will never be the same remains. You are now an adult woman- stained by the mark this mall has left on you. Your friends have left but you'll never lose the sisterhood that was bound by your mutually horrible experience at this mall. I can't tell you in words how stingy and decrepit this place is. I know that this place was once a popular hot spot, but you can only tell because there are whispers of youth in the stained floors and peeling paint. Enter at your own risk. There's an odd assortment of new and old stores that is unsettling. There's a strange old antique shop downstairs that will sell you magic books, and somehow I feel like the store attendant knows something we don't... Everyone must experience this place once in their lives- either as an experience you barely survive or a cold distant memory of what once was. read more

As far as malls go, this one is at or a little above average. It's not high-end like the one in the Millenia area of Orlando, but it's not dead like Fashion Square Mall. There's plenty of parking, and as with most malls if you drive around to the back side you can usually find it pretty easily without fighting with everybody else. It's still relatively Busy, has a pretty good selection of stores, and it's got a decent-size food court with a lot of options. For the area, it's one of the only options around, which is probably a big part of its success. If you're looking for a mall to visit and can't make it to the major malls in Orlando, it's a good option. In summary, it's a decent mall if it's local for you and you don't feel like driving to some of the bigger malls in the Orlando area. read more

Nice mall, has a few of the known stores like MACY'S, JCPenney, Burlington, H&M, PAYLESS, Victoria's Secret, Godiva, Finish Line, and others good stores. Food court doesn't have to much to choose from and it changes constantly. Overall is a good mall to shop at. read more

The mall is definitely evolving, as we saw a Karate School, a huge gym; and a Childrens' Play Place taking up what used to be retail space. The restaurants and food court are valiantly working to keep a hold of their precious patrons, while the "rings" around the mall feature ever-expanding eatery options. Parking was plentiful, as we arrived just after opening. It's still difficult getting into and out of Seminole Towne Center, as the parking is quite "compartmentalized." We found an exciting new store; and, made a large purchase! We hope to return for upcoming events. read more

Because the Greater Orlando area supports a large population, there are quite a few malls within a 15 mile radius of Downtown. So I decided to check out Sanford's version and see what they had to offer. The Seminole Towne Center, located off of I-4 in a fairly remote spot, is a bit outdated and was not busy one bit. It's not in poor condition, but not up to par with Milennia or The Florida Mall. The overall décor looked as if it was once bright and cheery but was now faded and past its prime. The directory of stores was decent and I believe that most people would find something there they could enjoy. For kids they offer The Disney Store and Build-a-Bear. The adult stores were pretty standard and mostly what you'd find at other malls. They did have a Piano Shoppe which not only sells pianos, but also offers lessons. And they did have a Trendy Teacher store for anyone needing school supplies, games and great ideas. The food court was also very commonplace. You'll find Maki of Japan, Sbarro, Chick-fil-A, Orange Julius/DQ and Nature's Table. For an after meal snack, there is a Dippin' Dots counter downstairs and 2 Starbucks locations--one on each floor. If you wanted something more substantial, there is a Ruby Tuesday's within the mall and outside on the premises, there are many options ranging from Hooters to the Olive Garden. There were quite a few other major and popular stores within walking distance of the Mall's parking lot. Thus, if you wanted to make a day out of your trip to Sanford, you could cross of your errand list in no time. read more

Oooooof. This mall has become a sad place. Full of random shops, empty spots, and pretty much everything else you would not expect to see.....insurance office, martial arts gym, teeth whitening, massage places, and stores I have never heard of. One of the more notable issues is that the mall AC IS. BROKEN. IN. FLORIDA. Not a recent issue either, stores have portable AC units and there is a building sized portable unit in the parking lot that is a real eye sore. This place is depressing and not the happening place it used to be. Now that Macy's is sinking it is now entirely useless. read more

Seminole Towne Center is located conveniently off of I-4 in Sanford. It is a nice, two-story mall with all of your basic stores plus some you don't see too often like Coldwater Creek, Coliseum of Comics and The Disney store. They even have a Fredricks of Hollywood, which I haven't seen in forever. The mall has a great food court which reminds me of Florida Mall, there is even a BurgerBar that sells beer. The Saturday evening the parking lot was very full but since the mall is so large inside it didn't feel crowded. What sold it for us is that they have kid-friendly activities like a play area and an indoor train that actually drives around the mall. For $3 my three year old had a blast riding in the train and waving at shoppers. read more

Seminole Towne Center - The train runs through the mall. My son loved it! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I would probably never go to Seminole Town Center if I didn't work in Lake Mary; but if I lived in Seminole or Lake County, I would be grateful for it. The mall is a decent size and has a handful of good stores; I'm sure many shoppers would go for the H&M alone. There are some interesting things at this mall that I have not seen at others. The first is the train that circles the bottom floor giving children rides. The second is in the addition to the many kiosks throughout, there are also tables set up, selling whatever, that they probably rent out for much cheaper. Don't count this mall out just because it is in Sanford. read more

I come here very often and they always have something new or different. The food court is great even if you're looking for something healthy or a sweet treat, they have something for you. The stores have good clothing and furniture and accessories for anyone. I recommend this place. read more

Seminole Towne Center - From downstairs chair area - Shopping Centers Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Seminole Town Center is a bit off the beaten path, but it is a perfect place to shop halfway between orlando and Daytona. It has several nice stores, however I have to say that it is not the best mall to go to, although if you are in the area it is not all bad. The Good: Plenty of standard stores: You've got places like Borders, Dillards, and and Belk. So if you have a core store that you like to go to at your local mall, then chances are good you'll find it here. Not crowded: This place is a veritable ghost town most days, and only really gets populated during the weekends The Bad: Not exactly a strong mall: Malls like Millenia and Florida are very strong because of their unique and interesting stores. Seminole town center definitely doesn't have any cool fountians or features, and all the stores are pretty standard stuff. Sure, you can get your Chick-Fil-A on while shopping at this place, but there's nothing that will make you really excited to go here. Overall 6.8/10= Seminole Town Boring. read more

I've been a patron of the Seminole Towne Center for a number of years now and it has definitely seen a decline throughout this time. I'll agree that they are and have been making attempts to bring newer stores to this mall, which, is much appreciated, however, is it truly enough? Are just a few current stores enough to keep customers willing to come back consistently to patronize this particular mall? The exterior needs some help - the parking lot closest to the 2nd floor of Macy's has large potholes (which I'm sure would cause vehicular damage) and the shrubbery just needs some perking up, One of my favorite parts is the food court, it would be nice though to see a few new restaurants and a cinnamon bun eatery too. read more

Where Miami Vice meets The Twilight Zone. A solid mix of stores, including Dilliards and Macys, but there is just something so odd about this mall, it's never very busy, not even on Thanksgiving Weekend. There seems to be a possible mold or mildew issue in the Macys store, based on the smell. A couple of bright spots: Clinique counter in Macys (friendly and helpful staff), the MAC counter in Dilliards (one of the least intimidating MAC counters I've ever encountered - that's a good thing), and a really nice Bath & Body Works store (friendly, helpful staff - not overly pushy with the merchandise). I will continue to shop here as it's close and convenient, but, like some other reviewers, I think Altamonte Springs has better stores and a better vibe to it. read more
