What a cute area! This reminds me of Dania Pointe and we wondered if the two locations were…read morerelated. When we first moved to Ocala, we were staying at The Drury hotel nearby because we work from home and did not have internet yet. Since we are totally new to the area, we figured Celebration Pointe would be a good place to explore. As a Yelper, I always research a place prior to going and that was the same for here. We also enjoy some nightlife and this place looked like it suited our needs. We actually visited here twice during our stay at Drury. The first night we visited, we were only looking to grab some drinks. We tried one place but it appeared unorganized and too busy so we went to the piano bar. There was a cozy sitting area in the middle of the walkway outside and decided to grab some seats and enjoy our drinks. I was dumbfounded because there have not been many places I have visited that had a lot of seating and significant ambiance. There was a gorgeous and fancy firepit that could seat about 10 people around it so that is where we sat. I love to people watch (maybe that's the NY in me) and this is a great place to do that. Our second visit here, we did walk around more to visually see some of the businesses. We actually came earlier than the previous time so we could actually go into the store because they were open. I was upset we already ate dinner because the steakhouse looked really good. I shopped in one of the stores but did not find anything I desperately wanted. I was craving ice cream so we stopped in Kilwins and ordered a milkshake. All of our favorite seats were taken so we decided to grab drinks again at the piano bar and sit there. We have been reminiscing about Celebration Pointe since we visited and plan to return when we have more time.

I didn't go inside those stores. Instead, I just went to Bath and Body Works to buy shampoo and lotion. The food court is decent, and there is a nice sit down Japanese restaurant as well. There was a small arcade and a VR shop. I did see a TBone kiddie ride, so I had to hop on that for fun (without actually riding it). I was surprised not to see security staff, but I did see a janitor instead. The mall and bathrooms were pretty clean and kept. The mall is still alive, but could use a bit more customers. While it's the only mall in Gainesville, it's pretty decent for the area. Overall: B

I could tell he felt it was his duty lest I run off with those cheap earrings but to hurry me along he kept asking me if I was "ok" .(4X) I found the whole situation very amusing as I'm positive that my bi weekly salary probably surpasses his yearly salary. Please Teach these child employees it's very off putting to treat customers as Potential thieves. ( there was already a lovely young woman behind the jewelry counter assisting me) I bought $53.00 Worth of costume earrings then headed back to J.C.

I wish they had more track n field items such as spikes and warm ups since indoor meets run January - March and this location would make ALOT of money from the teams traveling and staying near by.
