I recently stopped by The Gardens Mall while visiting one of the gelato shops, and it reminded me…read morewhat a pleasant place it is to spend an afternoon. The mall is clean, bright, and beautifully maintained, making it a comfortable destination--especially on a hot Florida day. The air-conditioned indoor setting is a welcome escape, and there's a great mix of stores, whether you're shopping for fashion, gifts, or just browsing. Another plus is the ample parking. It's easy to get in and out without the hassle of circling for a spot. You can park in the shade or not! Whether you're planning a shopping trip, grabbing a bite to eat, or simply making a stop at one of the specialty shops, The Gardens Mall is a relaxing and enjoyable place to visit.

The Gardens Mall first opened its doors on October 5, 1988, as The Gardens of the Palm Beaches…read more Developed by The Forbes Company on 400 acres along PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, the two story, 1.4 million-square-foot shopping destination had Macy's, Sears, and Burdines as its original anchor stores. Over the next few years, it continued to grow into one of South Florida's premier luxury malls, with Bloomingdale's opening in 1990 and Saks Fifth Avenue following in 1991. Burdines closed in 2004 as part of Federated Department Stores' corporate consolidation and was replaced by a two-story Nordstrom in 2006. Sears, one of the mall's original anchors, permanently closed on February 29, 2024. This was my first visit to The Gardens Mall, and everything about it exuded luxury. Parking is plentiful and free. Inside the elegant fountains and water features, lush faux floral arrangements, and sculptures scattered throughout the mall lent themselves to creating an upscale atmosphere. The shopping lineup is equally high end with designer boutiques like Talbot's, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany, Lilly Pulitzer, Chanel, Gucci, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton, and many more. When it's time for a break, the elegant Gardens Café food court offers quick service favorites like Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack, and Charley's Philly Steaks. I especially loved the mural that wraps around the food court called A Story of Florida. It depicts Florida's earliest history of indigenous people and the arrival of the Spanish and ends with a space shuttle taking flight. Full-service restaurants include California Pizza Kitchen, Cooper's Hawk Winery, P.F. Chang's, and Brio Italian Grille which all have sit down dining options. I liked walking around the mall and while I don't generally shop luxury brands I did check out the Hallmark and Yeti store. I would come back for a bite to eat and to take in the beautiful surroundings. Even if designer labels aren't in your budget, it's worth stopping by to window shop and enjoy the tranquil vibe while taking advantage of very appreciated air conditioning, which is so vital this time of year.

They are always adding new places and spots to check out over here which helps you never get bored of what's in the area. They also have several parking options available even with a free garbage which makes coming here super easy. There is a large variety of places to see in this center including a sauna studio and a salad place. They are always hosting low to free cost events as well for families and kids including a movie on the lawn every week!

This was my first visit to PGA Commons although I have passed by many times. In 2000 property…read moreowners, business leaders, and developers got together to form the PGA Corridor Association which led to the development of PGA Commons, a mix of residences, shopping, services, galleries, art, and dining. My destination was The Cooper for brunch, which I highly recommend. After eating I wandered around a bit to check out the Commons. It was probably not the best day because most of the non restaurant businesses were shuttered for New Years Day. The stores don't really excite me. There is a bamboo clothing store and a smoke shop plus a couple of high end art galleries. There are also some service based shops like a Pediatrics Associates, Blowdry Bar, nail spa, and realtor offices. The real reason to come here for me would be the dining and saw some other restaurants I was interested in checking out. A lot of the restaurants have spacious outdoor dining which is great for the pandemic and the gorgeous weather of a Florida winter. As for the residential aspect it was kind of strange to see people hanging out on their balcony above The Cooper. I am not sure living above a busy restaurant is for me. I also saw a strip of houses behind the parking lot. After my first visit to PGA Commons I think the restaurants are very nice and the overall layout is user friendly. I also liked the art touches but I wouldn't come here for shopping.

I have definitely stopped to eat at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, Gelato Grotto, and Five Guys before. And the Nicklaus Children's Urgent Care is awesome. Parking is mostly ok, simply because nothing is ever too crowded. The free parking garage behind the urgent care is easy to use and pretty empty. However, the 3 big box stores I mentioned above are nowhere near each other, so I drive from store to store. The Plaza is unfriendly to foot traffic, has zero common public spaces, and is poorly laid out with terrible signage. The layout is truly beyond frustrating: no clear entrances or exits, strange parking layouts that block access to the few buildings that are connected to the inner strip, several fake exits that dump into rental complexes instead of roads. I attended a holiday event recently at Legacy Place. It sounded fun in theory, but I couldn't fathom where it would take place, given the lack of common public space. The event was one of the worst I have ever attended. My children and I walked into the area, took a look around, and turned right around to leave; it was that bad! They blocked off part of a parking lot next to Pet Smart. A woman in a sparkly leotard was 'performing' in suspended aerial silks, except she fumbled her movements while we watched and then just moved very slowly from pose to pose, very awkwardly. Meanwhile, adults dressed up in Christmas costumes stood in the parking lot and watched. There was no holiday decor, no games or crafts for kids, no food or drink samples, just a lot of empty blacktop and unenthusiastic performers in a depressing setting. It is sad to see all the empty stores here now. I hope they can find a way to rejuvenate this space for the better (ala CityPlace to Rosemary Square!), increase signage to help navigation, dedicate part of the plaza to public space and programming, create appealing walking paths, and bring in non-profits and artists to use empty spaces and bring appeal to these spaces while waiting for long term rentals.

There are plenty of shops, a lovely restaurant, a café with delicious pastries, and another spot for great coffee and smoothies to go. The plaza is always decorated by designers for the holidays -- Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day -- and it looks stunning every time! This time there was a pumpkin patch with a DJ, drinks, a photographer, ice cream, and other treats -- fun for both kids and parents. So many photo spots and such an aesthetic atmosphere.

The parking lot is clean and although not large, has comfortably wide spaces and walkways to cross onto the sidewalks. This plaza is right in the middle of town and easy to access. Two of my favorite stores anchor this Plaza; Ross and TJMaxx are almost next door to each other, and they are both clean, well-stocked versions of these stores. Shoe Carnival separates them; it can't hurt to walk in and peruse this store quickly when you're here. Just a short walk across the L provides some dependably good Jupiter eats: The Royal Cafe and Al Forno Pizza. In this strip is also the small Nutrition Wise, where I often stop in to grab an item I may need rather than wait to hit a big health food store elsewhere. The chocolate shop here (Tasty Image) holds the hidden secret of a cafe area and free wi-fi, plus a little fro-yo. There are other stores to hit here in the main L: Office Depot, an upscale consignment store (A Star's Closet), a nail place and a spa I've yet to try, 60 minutes. On the other corner of this plaza is a restaurant/bar, tire place and Dunkin Donuts, but I rarely use that side.
