Having lived all over the US, i can honestly say, hands down, this is my favorite mall. We come to the area twice a year, and i shop here all the time. I am super excited athleta store is opened now at this mall. There is something for everyone, budget shoppers, designer shopper, and window shopper. You could easily spend the whole day here. I have a handful of stores i love, so i head there without wasting time. Sales are good, maybe not as good as online. But sometimes trying on things is half the fun. Love it!!
Wow, I've been living in Florida for 14 years now. I'm originally from Chicago and lived IN the city. We were never at a loss for excellent malls. Well, visit Naples and find out what it's like here...MOLDY AND GROSS. But The Gardens Mall is great. It's big, so be ready to walk, but it's clean, festive for Christmas, and great stores. When I come to visit my friend in Palm Beach I make a point of coming to this mall...that way I can avoid the malls in SW FL.
The Gardens is one exceptional place. Wide selection, many price points, but mostly upscale, retail in a very attractive setting. The Bloomingdale's might not be as large as Boca Raton, or offer what Aventura might but there are parking hassles and one exhausting layout to that mall. Aventura may be a bigger mall, but traffic and parking hassles wear you out. This mall is two stories, thoughtfully laid out, with very easy parking. I often see security vehicles on the lot as well. The inside is beautiful, with tasteful plantings, and a wonderful absence of cell phone kiosks and the other visual clutter of other malls. The plantings often seem to be masses of one color flower or another. Though there's a an upscale feel, and merchandise tends to high quality, there are many of the usual mall stores. Most designer names are here for those who favor one or another of them.There is an overall pleasant, not too noisy, quality here that will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Salespeople ( and shoppers) here can lack the abrasiveness of the ones further down the coast.Nordstroms, Saks, Macy's, are all here. For men who are trouble getting shoes to fit, this place has great choices, too many to mention. Many retailers have their own stores, with wide selection. For athletic shoes, a excellent choice is at the nearby Downtown at the Gardens, Paleo, a store with brands you won't find elsewhere.All in all, a great mall, overall the best in Florida, for quality, choice, value, ease of parking, attractiveness, and good value. Been up about twenty five years, and just keeps getting better and better. Handy to Turnpike and 95, too.
This mall has everything and moreIf u be there with 3 teens like i was u need time, credit card and lots of stress resisdenceClean, most people friendly
This is a spectacular mall with all of the best shops you could possibly desire to visit. As mall experiences go, this has to be one of the best. Got some wonderful deals at Macy's and the service was outstanding.
Wonderfully decorated mall, best brands present, very warm atmosphere. I am not a fan of malls but I really liked The Gardens.
This place is unbelievable. Fantastic decorations, santa palace is amazing and the nicest Santa Claus around. If you want to do a fast pass it's worth it. If your in the area during Christmas time I highly recommend this mall
The Gardens Mall is a wonderful mall (as malls go, I am not a shopper.) It is spacious, bright, immaculate and has a wide range of stores. They tend to be mostly upscale - but not only upscale. We have been here three times, at different times of the day and always found easy parking, uncrowded stores and a lot of attentive staff. It is a very big mall (it is deceiving) and has many attractive fountains, greenery, seating, etc. It also includes PF Changs (yay) a food court with a number of options and an Italian restaurant too (may be more, I just didn't find them. ) Several large stores (Macys, Sears, Bloomingdales, Noordstroms) as well as many smaller ones. Enjoy.
It was a nice little Mall, actually it was that little but it wasn't real large either. It was nice none the less.
I hate malls. Watching the people in the mall is not the worst thing in the world but close. Yoga pants must be the new thing
