    Located in the upscale Bal Harbour neighborhood, it's a great option to do some window shopping and have a delicious meal at one of their great restaurants (e.g., Makoto). I love the fact the mall traffic is not high here which makes the palace not crowded at all. It's super clean with beautiful interiors. Even if you are not buying anything, it's a great option to enjoy the peaceful interiors. As a Miami local, I can't recommend it enough. Hope you like it!

    They need to make their parking garage credit card scanners user friendly and get rid of the nasty, disrespectful woman employee who comes over to your car. It's ridiculous and should be intuitive and entirely self service.

    I absolutely adore this place. It reminds me of Alamoana mall in Honolulu simply because it is outdoors and the layout as well as the greenery, the ponds, the fish and the turtles. Remind me of Alamoana. This place actually has valet services that quite a lot of people use. The great thing about the Small is at any huge name that you could possibly ever want to find you will find here however, you will not find mid priced or more affordable options at this location in any way shape or form. Your best luck is going to be at Neimans's or at Saks for some of the other product lines that they might carry that are more affordable. This was a great visit, simply to window shop, and to look, as well as to have access to some pretty hard to find brands around the globe. We also were having lunch here, which I will do in a separate review but the food options here are incredible.

    Our next family adventure take us to Bal Harbour Shops located in Bal Harbour Shop Fl with a category of 4.6 and more than 5,254 reviews, looking for a new place to walk around and enjoy the day. This place is amazing If you look around you might think that you are in Milan, a country where fashion is a national symbol, All the stores are from Europe and the majority from Milan or Milano, the quality of the merchandise is what makes it the best. The cool temperature offered by all the plants and trees that are a decorative part of the place are incredible along with ponds full of koi, Japanese fish, which makes a perfect combination. And if all the walking and visiting shops and admiring the place makes you hungry, there are also several restaurants from different countries ready so you can enjoy an incredible meal.

    Bal Harbour Shops is located between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay in the upscale village of Bal Harbour. Its history goes all the way back to WWII when the land the mall now sits on used to be military barracks and a prisoner of war camp. In 1965 developer Stanley Whitman built Florida's first high end fashion center. After studying other malls around the country for 8 years, Whitman rejected the enclosed malls taking advantage of the new invention of air conditioning in favor of an open air mall that showcased the lush tropical South Florida environment. Instead of creating a mixed use mall with businesses that provided useful services as was typical of the time, he instead sought to entice high end fashion retailers to South Florida of the type that could have only been previously found in New York and Paris. He hired Herb johnson from a Miami based firm to design the mall. Whitman was also influential in the Bal Harbour community. He helped to acquire a new zip code, improve traffic plans, landscaping and beach restoration, improve the water main, create a resort tax and more. Bal Harbour Shops really took off when Whitman convinced Neiman Marcus to open their first specialty boutique outside of Texas in Bal Harbour. The stores success spurned other luxury retailers to follow suit. A second floor was added to the mall in 1982 and a third floor was completed in 1983. Today Bal Harbour Shops is 58 years old and one of the highest grossing shopping centers in the world. In addition to Neiman Marcus and anchor Saks Fifth Avenue which opened in 1976, you can shop across three floors such luxe brands as Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Prada, Chanel, Rolex, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Balenciaga to name just a few. Dinning options include Aba, Carpaccio, Hillstone, Le Zoo, Makoto, Bianco Gelato, and Café en 3. You won't find a pedestrian food court in this high end mall. Bal Harbour Shops has a special complimentary mall membership program that provides a suite lounge area where you can sit and relax, a complimentary parking reward, coffee, and other programs and member benefits throughout the year. My favorite part of the mall is the landscaped courtyard garden. There are trees festooned with colorful orchids, fountains, and koi and turtle ponds. I came to the mall to see the temporary exhibit Fleurs de Villes Voyage. This was my first time here and I had a few insights from the experience. While I loved the exhibit, traffic is nightmare surrounding the mall because of Haulover Park on the other side of the bridge from the mall. The large and very popular park puts a lot of traffic into the small artery of road leaving the mall. I experienced traffic delays going to and leaving the mall. Once you finally reach the mall you have to pay for parking. It was a nominal $1 and hour. It wasn't anything expensive but you do need to remember to pay your ticket before getting back into your car to leave. Lastly the mall is under a major 500 million dollar construction project. The mall is trying to add another 340,000 square feet to the 511,000-square-foot shopping center. The back of the mall and the parking garage look terrible. Bal Harbour Shops was sued for a million dollars by a construction firm for not paying their bill and if that wasn't bad enough, they are in litigation with one of their two anchors, Saks Fifth Avenue. They also lost the chance to secure Barney's of New York in the mall. How the mall will resolve the construction issue that has been going on for years now still remains to be seen.

    I'll never forget the day I first came here. I was 17 and searching for my senior prom dress without a clue that the dress I was trying on was priced at 10k. Afterwards, I realized I wasn't the Cuban Jackie O and took my talents elsewhere yet didn't completely disregard the level of panache this shopping and dining district had to offer. Afterall, "FasHiOn iS mY PaSSiOn" xoxo The way I describe it to people who are unfamiliar with Bal Harbour Shops is "Julia Tuttle recreates Rodeo Drive pero con chancletas". That's the vibe. The glam here is timeless and is a more vintage rendition of what the Design District was basically inspired by. In the event that you're not in the mood to spend 2k on a shirt, there's plenty of fine dining for those who indulge in fancy dinners with pretty martinis. I am the truffle countess after all so...I can recognize a good menu when I see one. Here, there's plenty of that goodness so it's like the wealth that keeps giving. It's a lovely place to take a stroll and window shop for diamonds yet still be able to realistically make purchases at stores that aren't over the top pricey that offer timeless pieces. One of my favorites is Agent Provocateur because items like that never go out of style. Sak's sells my favorite fragrance and I usually come in December when it's buy 3, get one free for Bond No. 9. I love the glitzy glamour that Bal Harbour embodies and so coming here is never a bad idea...unless you accidentally try on a 10k dress.

    Went here just to see the Fleurs de Villes display. It was lovely! I missed it last year. The flower displays were so carefully and thoughtfully put together. Gorgeous designs. The only thing was the heat had already started to wilt some of the beautiful blooms. Nonetheless it was a fabulous display. I would definitely recommend checking this out when it comes around again next year. It would be nice if it was done at a cooler time in the year as it is all outdoor. There was a lot of construction going on and the elevators did not work. Mostly luxury high end stores and a few restaurants. Nice to walk around and browse or shop.

    this is on the third floor

    So here I am again with the dot, dot, dot.... super rich. Aka you see it in the car parking sections with all these elaborate cars. Anyway - THIS place is gorgeous, sleek, sexy, and most probably out of your league stores expensive wise, unless you are filthy rich/ drunk/someone's sugar daddy g/f...you get the drift. After spending time here, you start to think that dropping a 1,000 dollars for this or that (mainly clothes), that it's not that much!!! Then its time to leave people. I could do so much with a 1,000 dollars... 1/ save so many animals that are homeless, 2? donations to a good charity, 3/ hell, take my family members out x 10 or even 12 for the price. However I spent a few hours here and was lulled into their world of plastic fantastic. The ladies restrooms are delightful for a pubic toilet! Clean and dreamy for a mall...ie open to the public, like you are inside a very nice exclusive hotel/ restaurant. They have koi fish and turtles lounging in their own designated pool areas on the ground floor. I also saw people dressed to the nines doing insta pics. Oh! and again I saw PLASTIC FANTASTIC.... aka bad face lifts, lip implants, botox, boob..... you get the drift, female and male, its Miami bro', what do you expect! I enjoyed my time there and scuttled off home, wrinkles and all!!! LOL

    Great outdoor spot
    George M.

    Cant afford anything here but it's still a pretty nice place to walk around. Right now they have some kind of art and garden exhibit that was pretty cool. It's an outdoor mall but with all the shade, water features and fans, it feels more like the shopping area of a ultra fancy resort Parking is a bit of a nightmare right now cause they closed one entrance but we found a spot pretty quickly I guess this is a good mall to see the "Rich & Famous" cause we ran into Rick Ross the Boss standing by himself outside Hillstone

    Mark M.

    This is one nice open-air mall. Many high fashion designers here. It's not that long of a mall, but it has three floors, the top not having much. I like the fish and turtles in the ponds; very cool. I don't like how many of the stores have sales staff just looking outside waiting to prey on you--talk about intimidating. I'm sure they're not all like that, but it's still not that inviting. Neiman Marcus is an anchor store, but it feels like it's in need of an overhaul.

    This place is antiquated. Parking is a mess. Mall employees are rude, and the store employees are definitely not the best.

There is limited street parking which can be a bit of a challenge but the setting is so lovely that it is worth it. Admission to the market place is free. It was advertised as having 52 vendors and I would guess there wasn't even half of that. The vendors that were there sold sunglasses, clothing, second hand items, home services like gutters, and jewelry. My favorite vendor was Carolyn who sold second hand jewelry on the porch of the New River Inn. I loved poking through her treasures. She got all my money and I left with an opal ring, silver chain, and two pendants. Bring cash with you because some vendors like Carolyn do not accept cards.The event was advertised as having food and the only vendor I saw was Taco Baja selling tacos. There are a ton of restaurants in the area if the on site food is not to your liking. The museum is open during the market and adults can tour for $15. The New River Inn was built in 1905 and was one of Ft. Lauderdale's earliest hotels. History Ft. Lauderdale operates several historic buildings in this one area. The New River is very picturesque and it is a great place to take a stroll even if there is nothing going on. I enjoyed my market visit. These types of outdoor markets are very popular now and I think the great location has the potential to make this market a major event, especially if they add some more food and merchandise vendors.

You can put in for a ticket so you do t have to wait or you can just come down. There was only a 10 minute wait to get in. The main hold up was people who wanted their picture in front of the Stranger Things logo before entering. The wait was quick and I was entertained by the 80's music playing. The store has all of your Stranger Things merchandise and they have photo ops. You walk into the Byers living room. Complete with strung Christmas lights. It was so much fun to sit on Joyce's 80's couch. Other things you will recognize are the Starcourt Mall with Scoops Ahoy merch, the skating rink, the Hawkins School, Surfer Boy Pizza, and the Arcade where I had a blast reliving my youth with Ms. Pac-Man. You can even ride the kids bicycles into the upside down world. It was amazing how much of the show they got in. In the last room you are face to face with a demogorgon. This experience had a line because people stop and take pictures. Fans of the show will love seeing the TV show come to life. Merch is expensive but what price can you put on becoming a member of the Hell Fire club! The augmented reality pins looked really interesting. You can even personalize your shirts like a staff name on a Scoops Ahoy shirt or your name on a Hawkins team jersey. The only thing I didn't like was there was four registers set up and only one person checking out, The line to check out was longer than to see the demogorgon. They need more staff ringing up purchases. At the end a second person jumped on and after that it was better.
