Visited the Mall this afternoon and didn't stay very long. Just a bunch of shops populated by people from all walks of life, a lot of tats and piercings. A kind of scruffy clientele. I'm not really sure what the attraction is but I suggest Simons enforce mask wearing. The epidemic is there and not going anywhere. The arrogance of the shoppers or window watchers without masks was infuriating, but probably that's the reaction they want. No, this is a place I did not find interesting and have no desire to visit this place again. read more

A nice way to get out of the Florida heat. There are A LOT of options here. From shopping to eating and everything inbetween. I got my steps in for the day without even going through the entire mall. We came in and had a quick bite at Oh My Dog! and browsed ThinkGeek and Boxed Lunch. Even with a lot of other customers, there is plenty of space. You could easily spend hours here if you're up to it. There is a cool conveyor belt sushi spot, coffee shops and a huge assortment of stores from high end to low end. This mall has a ton to offer. read more

I went shopping at The Garage Clothing Company a couple days ago and would NOT recommend this Store for anyone to shop! Their staff was very inattentive and after spending over $60 with no discount, they wanted me to PAY for a bag to put my purchase in! Very bad customer service and Poor quality merchandise. read more

Out of all the malls in Orlando, this one is the busiest. There are always a ton of people there. If you can maneuver the crowd, there's lots of stores to check out for the whole family. They expanded the food court, and now there are so many options there. It's great! I enjoy coming here, for the most part. UPDATE: I have now had many experiences in the food court, and unfortunately at most of the places, the service isn't very good. (Taco Bell and A&W, in particular!) The two exceptions are "Meson Sandwiches" and the place near the entrance that sells muffins and coffee. Also, at the Nestle Tollhouse, the service isn't very good, either, so stay away from there! read more

Nice mall, they have a ton of stores & the food court offers a lot for picky people. The mall is kept clean but the bathrooms can get filthy quickly. My only gripe is one that goes for all malls - parking can be a nightmare. I go early and leave early to avoid to much foot traffic & love going during the month of December because decorations are beautiful. read more

Awfully loud and hectic. Even when it's not busy, it's still insanely loud somehow. I left early and don't think I'll be coming back. Recommend Mall at Millennia instead, only a few minutes away, and much nicer! read more

This mall is HUGE. Packed with every kind of store you need, and looking for. They also have places for kid entertainment which we appreciate it. The mall is always packed, so be patient and be nice lol. The food court is decent and provides a wide selection. read more

The Perfume Kiosks in the middle are the biggest scammers!!! Specially a Brazilian lady that works there. They sell men's cologne or whatever perfume for 3 times the value. They tried to sold me a cologne that was $25 in Amazon for $80. It happened to many people before, stay away form those Perfume Kiosks!!! read more

I only really find myself coming here over millennia because they have a Zara. That is pretty much it. This mall isn't too nice and gets packed!! The recently renovated dinning pavilion is nice and the Spoleto is great. I like that they have a big Lush here and also have stores like Forever 21 and H&M. They have an Apple store and a Microsoft store too. The ThinkGeek is pretty cool if you haven't been, and they also have a GameStop. The parking here is terrible on the weekends. So prepare yourself if you plan to come on a weekend. People also don't seem to know what stop signs are and run them all the time, so drive carefully. Overall, this mall is okay. Nothing too special but not terrible. It's pretty big and gets packed. For some reason this mall feels dark and dated to me, and I find myself going to millennia more often unless I want to shop at Zara. read more

The story you are about to read is true. This is the mega-mall, Orlando, Florida. My name is Skacey, I carry a full bladder. 11:54 am. I've ventured into the Florida Mall again to browse and pick up a quick lunch. This mall is unique in a few different ways. First off, there is a Hotel embedded in part of the mall. Second, there are exactly two sets of bathrooms serving the entire mall. Oh sure, you'll see signs leading you to the bathrooms...but much like the Bermashave signs along the highways of the 50's, they continue to lead you on and on until you arrive...at the food court. Ok, so quick review of the bathrooms. The set in the food court are buried in the back corner, so while you waddle-walk trying not to trickle, you must dodge bourbon-chicken samplers, Cinibon wielding four year olds with sticky fingers, and strollers...lots of strollers. All you need is background music ("It's a small world" comes to mind) Once you arrive, be prepared for more kids, diaper changing moms and dads, toddlers yelling "I'm finished" while wandering out of the stall with their pants on the ground. Tweener's shuffling in with their pants on the ground, and that strange old guy at the urinal with...you guessed it...pants on the ground. For the second set of bathrooms, you must make your way to the Hotel. There are no signs for these bathrooms, and the staff can make you feel about as welcome as a tramp stamp showing in church. Ignore them and you can find the two tiny bathrooms on the left. Fairly clean, usually empty, but still a ridiculous walk from most of the mall. Pass on the 64 ounce soft drink please... read more

Horrendous parking! Horrendous egresses and ingresses. It's large and there are many many stores... but it's just too crowded. I felt like I was still at the Magic Kingdom, but with people not in a "Disney-state-of-mind" (if they were Disney-like at all, they were more Grumpy than Happy)... I even went to the Disney Store in the mall, and people just don't seem to wanna be there either. Food pavillion is your typical food court with the usual suspects. There are lots of seating and a restroom nearby, but there was always a long line for the women's restroom and the family/companion stalls. I will not add to the congestion and stay away. Happy new year, yelpers. read more

I used to work in this mall several years ago. I know that stores are stocked very deep. Which means they have a lot of merchandise, because of all of the international visitors this mall attracts. I specifically went to the JCPenny store at this mall. I went here looking for a suit. Now I am a big man. And I was able to find charcoal gray suit, right off the rack. I need it for my son's wedding. No alterations, no modifications it fit perfect. And I know the same holds true for a lot of stores in this mall. "Pile it high, and let it fly." read more

Nice Mall. I visited while on vacation. I was able to find them item that I needed. There are a variety of stores. The food court also has a variety of places. My family loved the cookies from Carlo's Bake shop. My toddlers enjoyed the play area. read more

Its a mall. Too many tour groups though. Food court is ight but I reck-o-mend Buca di Beppo for a sit down dinner or lunch. Goons kno this a great mall to buy the nicest clothes and shoes. they got like 7 footlockers too so u know it the best read more

Pro Tip: Only venture into this mall if you have on walking shoes, are carrying a strong caffeinated beverage, have taken anti-anxiety medication, and many hours to kill looking for parking and walking behind hordes of people who walk slow and 4-folks wide. If you meet the above requirements, then you're cleared to go to the Florida Mall and enjoy their Sephora, H&M, Zara, giant Forever 21, and possibly the M&M store (good for a second-wind sugar rush, just sayin'). Bonus tip: Never buy anything as you journey deeper. Instead, circle around and make purchases on your way back out. Otherwise you're carrying a lot of bags in a crowded space and it ain't fun. read more

I came here today with the family as a part of our shopping journey. The mall is so gigantic, it's hard to believe there are larger malls out there. I was looking around for a MetroPCS dealer for my phone, but instead found like eleven T-Mobile stands, they must have really good business to have that many establishments there. There seems to be plenty of variety in stores, and I saw many different kinds of people (probably attributed to tourists as well) in the mall and the mall seemed to cater to all. I saw a bunch of cool stores and some stores that I didn't expect to find there like a Japan HQ that had a human sized Gundam inside, and the food options of the food court seem to be very large. While wondering the mall I even ran into CVS, it's been a long time since I saw a drug store inside a mall, that kinda freaked me out. Anyway, it's a cool mall and I'd certainly go again while visiting. read more

Eh. Being from the North, I am spoiled with amazing malls. In Orlando, it is pretty rare to find a great mall and well...Florida Mall aint it! It's ok, good for some regular shopping but the crowds can be frustrating. TONS of tourists. Pretty good food court but check out the restaurants first. Parking tip: park at a department store! DO NOT attempt on Sat/Sunday unless you have at least 5 hours to kill. read more

Like Hell, but with shopping. Really, why do these places even exist? Who on Earth actually desires to shuffle around like meat cattle in a giant building whose only purpose is to separate you from your money? The same could be said about Disney. You get to walk away with some crap for way more than it's worth. Just like Disney. You hear screaming children ushered by miserable moms the whole time. Just like Disney. You eat food that's bad for you. Just like Disney. You park half a mile from the thing you actually want to patronize. Just like Disney. You get lost a lot. Just like Disney. Yep. Just like Hell, just like Disney... the Florida Mall is lacking in just one thing, and that is "magick." read more

Do you value your life and sanity? Avoid. This. Mall. At. All. Costs. Florida mall has a great selection of stores and a completely renovated food court. Unfortunately it is so busy and filled with tourists that you may not get out alive. There doesn't seem to be a slow season for this mall and peaking can take anywhere from five minutes if you're lucky to up to an hour. Don't even try going during the holidays. Even getting there can be a headache because it is located off OBT and sand lake, incredibly busy roads. I hardly ever come to this mall. I think today was my first time in at least two years. See you in maybe another two, Florida Mall. read more

This is an older mall with an interesting layout. Nice place to hang when you're waiting for an airline to come in though. Luckily, due to my schedule, I am usually here on the weekdays so the traffic is not as bad as I hear it is on the weekends. They have plenty of reasonably priced stores unlike Millennia and thus it is filled like a Wal-Mart vs a Neman Marcus. The center Kiosk people are as annoying as any mall so just keep walking. The hotel located here is also nice to stay at and you can get into the mall before anyone else in the morning to walk if you are staying here. read more

My main reason for coming here is the winey wench the sale wine slushies and they are delicious and you can walk around the mall with them so definitely love it read more

I love me some Florida Mall. I am usually not a big fan of malls simply for the fact that everything is so expensive i can only window shop. But Florida Mall actually has a few stores that i can shop at as well. Never really cared much for their food court, although walking by Cold Stone Creamery and not getting a shake is impossible. Lush is my fav store in there. Bath, soap, facial and beyond products, all hand made by the employees, divine.... Also, if you check in on YELP you get a free coupon book that saved me a bundle of money, $2 off here....$5 off there...adds up. i like.... Florida Mall is also my closest Apple store to take care of my iBaby. read more

The best place to be after a fun-filled weekend. I must be honest, I am a one store kinda girl, so I can't say how the mall itself was. I only went to H&M and I was somewhat happy. I wish the selection was bigger. Overall I was just happy there was and H&M. read more

Florida gives me a headache so it's no surprise that this mall gave me a headache either. The parking lot was horrible. Doesn't matter what section you were in, it was awful and people don't know how to drive. I'm sure I say that often (because clearly, I am a great driver and most everyone else is awful), but people really don't know how to drive. I'm sure there are a lot of tourists that are lost, just trying to find their way, but any place with an awful parking lot already puts me in a sour mood. I will give credit where credit is due...they have a lot of shops. If you enjoy shopping, I'm sure that's a plus. I don't enjoy shopping though. I came here because I was bored and I figured I would take advantage of the one thing Florida is good for: crap is cheap. However, with it clearly being a tourist spot, a lot of stores were overpriced. Not worth taking up suitcase space for, in my opinion. To be fair, I'm not a mall person to begin with (or a fan of Florida), but this place made me loathe shopping even more than I already do. read more

Interesting mall. Hard to peg. Loud. International crowd. Boisterous.... Schizophrenic. Its like they can't decide whether to be a high end shopping destination (Saks, Nordstroms, etc) or a flea market. The anchors say 'high end product' but center aisles of the mall spaces are consumed with little kiosks selling all manner of cheap crap that creates that confusing atmosphere. The kiosk vendor types seem to assault all manner of passerby with a sales pitch in Spanish - assuming everyone shopping there speaks same. They are aggressive, annoying and ubiquitous.EDIT TO ADD: After some thought, I realized I hated the kiosk barkers so much I dropped this joint from 2 to 1 star. I can say I have never hated a mall space as much as I hate this one. The food court is noisy, overtly so. It needs fabrics or some other sound attenuation. Too many signs, too many flat panel TVs, too little respite from the crowds. Too many truly bad food choices. Fry, fry, fry. In fact, this mall lacks any decent restaurant choices beyond a Calif Pizza & a Buco di Beppo. Disappointing, given that there is a hotel attached to the thing. I guess if you are a hyperactive teen with Jersey Shore hairdo (The Pauly D product poof was common) or a thug wannabe with saggy jeans, the ADHD nature of the common areas would be your natural environment. The majors are calm, inviting, well appointed and merchandised - but the mall corridors? Not a place I'd visit again without very good reason. read more

Visiting this mall is like visiting a third-world country on a cruise itinerary: people begging you to stop and check out their wares. Avoid eye contact with the vendors running kiosks throughout the mall. If you catch their gaze, you will be dragged into for a demonstration. If they do meet your gaze, I've found the following to be effective: Shout "I'm a local, dammit!" then run in the opposite direction. It is relentlessly crowded all the time. After spending thirty minutes trying to find a parking space, you can expect that inside you will march along shoulder-to-shoulder with people of various shapes, sizes, and odors. Mooooo. Florida Mall is what it is: a mall avoided by Orlando locals and frequented by tourists. read more

(18/100) Florida is definitely my favorite mall in Orlando. It's a little bit of a trek for me to get there, but usually worth it. The good of this location is the variety of stores. There are high end and more affordable stores. I feel like other malls have more on one end of the other and Florida has a plethora of both. There is a good amount of food choices in the food court. Some better than others. Definitely get a fruit tea from Bubbleology-that place is amazing. Chinese is always a good option for me on food. Lots of free samples. Score! The only downside is the parking. You might end up pretty far from the entrance because the mall is so busy. But who doesn't need exercise? The bathrooms are also generally ew. Pee before you go or just hold your breath. I'm sure I'll be back...in a few days. I love shopping! Hehe. read more

Since day one of going to gatcha I've been hooked!! I just love going here whenever I get the chance and I just love the atmosphere this place gives it's so fun!! Everyone is so nice there and even when you win something even if it's small people would clap for you it's so cool!!! I plan to go back here soon and man I can't wait!! read more

Pretty average mall. Very random selection of shops and anchor stores. Absolutely every price range here (Saks Fifth Avenue, JCPenney and Macys all rolled into one?) The layout is awful and hard to navigate. Lots of small crowded corridors going in all directions. Would be much more functional to have wider corridors. Food court is cramped too. Washrooms are hard to locate. Parking, as mentioned, is a bit of a piss take. Your best bet is just driving to the very end of the lot, grabbing a spot and walking. read more

This is a really big mall... There are a lot of stores throughout... This mall is super crowded with tourists and it's a pain to maneuver around all the people... The parking is beyond terrible....You may be driving around for a while before finding a spot... And odds are you're going to have quite a trek just to get inside the mall... read more

This is a great mall for the tourist shopper. Parades of neon shirts with flags on Brazilian teens while they tramp through discount racks of the Charlotte Russe and Forever 21. It does lack the high end boutiques that are featured at the Mall at Millenia. Over all it will meet your shopping needs. One thing for sure...if you make the trip, plan on spending all day. read more

The Florida Mall - from the Simon website! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This really is a huge mall, and they have some great options here, but essentially for every good thing, there is an equally bad thing here. I figured for this, it would be easiest just to make a quick list. Pros: Huge selection of stores Some of the largest versions of Department Stores (Dillards for example) Many other options to shop within a short distance One of the few malls left with a legitimate Disney store Some unique food/drink options, like conveyor belt sushi, and a two story Starbucks They have a Microsoft Store Cons: Tourist central, and always crowded Parking is horrendous at all times of the day The food court is severely lacking for such a huge mall, there isn't even a Chick-Fil A in here Crazy traffic around the area (again much due to tourists) They removed Williams-Sonoma, and the separation of some stores (like Victoria's Secret, which separates clothing from perfume) is odd. read more

have an extreme love hate relationship with this mall. I'll start with the love: They have a huge selelction of stores that I love to shop in and when I decide to do some real shopping this mall is a one stop shop. The stores are all "normal", meaning not high-end, stores. Most of the stores that I shop in (f21, H&M, JC Pennys, Old Navy, Torrid, Cotton On, Macys, Charming Charlie, NY & Company, Charlotte Russe, Sears, Agaci) are normally well stocked and I am able to find everything that I need. I will say that the plus size section of Forever 21 is a hit or miss. They rearrange this store often, and every time I go I have to figure out where certain sections are. I have to set aside a whole day due to their being so many places that I like to visit while I'm there and everything being somewhat spread out...that's about it for the love Now for the hate: The mall is extremely big! While this makes a good place to shop, I'm always exhausted when I leave, which adds to my dread in having to go there. The mall is also extremely crowded with Orlando natives as well as tourists, who walk entirely too close to you, bump into you without saying "excuse me" or "im sorry" and most have huge rolling suitcases which they will run you over with if you aren't careful. I personally can't stand rudeness, and although some of it may be cultural, it still drives me nuts! All in all, it's a great place to shop if you can withstand the crowds. read more

I have a love hate relationship with the Florida Mall which is why I only gave it three stars despite the fact that I do enjoy shopping there...sometimes. This mall is filled with some pretty awesome stores such as the Apple store, Tevana, Bebe, and Delia's. Plus, there are a ton of stores to peruse through making this mall a great one-stop-shop kind of place, especially have more than one person or occasion to buy for. However...this mall is a big tourist trap/attraction. Most days throughout the year, especially weekends and holidays, the mall is crammed with people making it impossible to find a good parking space and even more difficult to maneuver through the walkways and shops. And if you decided this is where you want to shop for the upcoming holidays...DON'T DO IT. This place is ten times worse from after Thanksgiving until New Year's day. Their huge parking is often full...meaning no spots, despite it's massive size. Plus, the people are rude...customers and store attendants alike. Overall, while I do like this mall, I usually try to avoid going there unless I absolutely have to. read more

This place is just nuts, filled with tourists and an occasional basketball player. Great for our economy, not great if you want to keep your sanity! Went there on a Saturday had people behind me walking on the back of my shoes! We didn't have a reason to come here, just ended up here. They do have a great variety of stores in this mall and a huge food court with plenty of people giving out samples. You wouldn't go hungry lol! If you are looking to come here, do so during the week if you can. When I check in there is an offer for a Waterford Lakes coupon book, couldn't find the mall office so I figured it was just wrong. read more

This mall is huge! There are tons of shops here - you'll find a wide variety of pretty much everything! Even an M&M store, which was pretty cool. However, it's kind of confusing to get around in here - lots of twists and turns and everything looks the same, so you'll like find yourself lost at least once on your first visit. It's also suuuuper crowded. Parking also seemed pretty jam packed, so just be prepared to park far away and walk. Overall, this mall was perfectly fine. Worked great for our touristy day of shopping, but definitely isn't the best mall around. read more

The Florida Mall isn't the worst mall I've ever been to, but it's certainly not the best. First of all, the parking is TERRIBLE! Seriously, it takes FOREVER to find a spot! Second, what's up with all the tourists that have those rolling suitcases? Those are so annoying! Not to mention they take up twice as much room and it's so frustrating to walk behind them. The food court is pretty decent and there is a Starbucks which is always nice. The seating is pretty limited though. I avoid it if I can, but usually I come here for convenience. read more

It's a mall. Lots of tourists because of its distance from the attractions and the airport. There are better malls but this one gets the job done. Apple Store, crayons factory, American girl doll store, and everything from chicken teriyaki to Italian sit down. I started this review giving them 3 stars, but now I changed it to 4. This mall has a better than average selection of stores. Be sure to visit some of the great stores like think geek. I want the iron man statue. read more

This mall has everything! If you are just going to one or two stores, look on the map first or you will be walking forever.

My favorite Orlando Mall to go to. Love Papaya & Forever 21 clothes store. Noodle bar in food court is a must eat. Cake bosses bakery & NYSC's hot dog stand is there too. So many tasting places like jerky, wine, tea, Godiva ice cream, preztels, etc. For the kids theres American Girl doll, Crayon Experience, M&M, Build a Bear, Disney, etc. Parking is hard. read more

See all
