This review is for Dolphin mall massages. My good friend enticed me to get massages. I was like, " no way, we are in the middle of the mall." He quickly said that he had previously had one and that I was going to love it. For $12 I decided to give it a shot, with him in the chair next to mine, of course. What can I say, as the masseuse gently did her thing, the background noise of the mall began to sound like waterfalls and ocean waves. For ten min. I got a great little stress relieving massage. I will never be scared of the mall massages again. read more

I love Dolphin Mall. I have been coming here since I was in high school well over a decade ago. Plenty of amazing memories in here... outings with friends, plenty of dates. This place has amazing restaurants of all kinds and tons of stores for anything you may need. Also has a great movie theatre and bowling alley. Like I said plenty of things to do and buy in here...allowing you to make some great memories. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this place. Personally, I hate outlet malls but who doesn't like a good deal? I also hate crowds and this place is infested with people. Tweeners and teens in mass hordes get under my skin and this appears to be their dumping ground. I think tourists are amusing and they don't bother me and they visit this mall in droves. The only reason I come to this mall is because the office is nearby. People from work come here for lunch often and happy hours. So if I'm here, it's usually on a weekday during lunchtime, Even then, parking is hard to find within a 2 mile radius. There are cabbies lined up everywhere and huge charter buses picking up and dropping off tourists from the airport. I feel like the whole mall is geared towards everyone and anyone. You've got Dave and Busters and the movie theatre for teens, the Cinebistro, Strike and Texas de Brazil for the older crowds and a whole slew of stores/kiosks for everyone else in between. Walking around the mall is an adventure consisting of people asking in spanish if you want to buy their chotchkes or get your nails buffed and teens being loud and obnoxius. There are alot of good stores that offer great prices but you have to come with the right mindset at the right time. How anyone comes here on a weekend sober with their kids and ready to look for items on sale is beyond my comprehension. read more

This review is for the Movie Theather... I guess I am getting older...or the crowd is getting way younger. My hubby and I decided to go watch The Fourth Kind on Sat night and we were not ready for what we got. The Cinema was full of young teens , it just so happen that most of them decided to see that same movie that night...and wow...between the "comments" ,the noise, the laughter etc...I was barely able to concentrate on the actual movie. Plus we had a teenage couple making out right next to us...Jesus!! Not a good experience at all...I am sorry ....but my teen years are way over...We will go somewhere else for movies next time...maybe a place more suitable for grownups. read more

This mall is not and I mean not a place to go on weekends. The place is completely packed, clothes are all over. I like they have all the high end outlets like Neiman Marcus,Saks, and Bloomingdales. I think ideally they have some good deals if you dig through items. The department stores seemed to be a little unorganized compared to the smaller shops. read more

What a beautiful mall!! Such a huge mall! But it is well laid out so the mall circles around so to walk the entire mall doesn't feel like you've been walking all day. There are a lot of variety of stores and products. There is a large food court with lots of options- including vegetarian options. What a great place to get a lot of your holiday shopping done at once. read more

The mall is large if you are looking to make your step count quota for the day you will have no problem meeting that while walking around this facility. They have just about every large food chain as well as some local favorites. Lots of outside alcohol options as well, the major shoppes and stores are here as well as a D&B. Go enjoy it you will not be disappointed, side note wear your walking shoes as you will not find any close parking and you will want to walk around the entire site. read more

Parking was a nightmare. The mall was beyond crowed. I think it exceeded the capacity for people in one place. Their were tons of people at the mall dragging along their luggage. I have never had so many customer service people speak to me in spanish. Seriously, I felt like I was at the plazas america mall in puerto rico. After that visit I decided to take spanish classes. It's just a mall. I don't see the big deal about this place. I much rather shop online then to deal with the masses of people in this mall. Just finding a parking spot is enough to make me want to go home. No mi guesta El Dolphin Mall. read more

This is a tricky mall to review. It all depends on what your intentions are when you visit. There are several options and I will try my best to split them up and review each aspect appropriately. It is important to note that the time of day and day of week can dramatically skew aspects of my review. That said, here we go! Shopping Originally this mall was only outlet shops, but more recently non-outlet shops (standard retail) have found their way into the aisles. Fundamentally, I do not like this shift and I hope the outlet aspect comes back. There has also been a large amount of constructing occurring recently, hopefully to help expand the outlet aspect. I find that the mall, especially on the weekends are VERY full. Even with a massive parking area, you can spend several minutes looking for parking. Overall deals on clothing can be hit or miss depending on the store. I would highly recommend AGAINST any electronics purchases because all (electronics) shops are overpriced and have poor selections. If you are shopping, stick to the clothing stores and avoid the overpriced kiosks. Food There are two "areas" for food. The stereotypical food court located in the northwest of the mall and the restaurant area in the primary entrance. The food court is just that, a generic food court with everything you can imagine; Wetzel's Pretzels, Hagen Daaz, pizza, Chinese takeout, etc. The restraint area has an outdoor bar in the center with pasta, American food (Johnny Rocket's), Hispanic food, and even a Tavera Opa (which is one of the newest options). Each of the restaurants should get their own reviews. Cinema (Movies) Initially, when the mall first opened, there was only one theater, a Cobb theater. More recently, a secondary option opened up allowing for dinner, drinks, and a movie all in one location. When the movie has a waiting line, the lines are setup outside of the main theater area and on the second floor walkways. Efficient? Yes. Convenient? Sure. Ideal for customers? Not really. Hangout More and more hangout options are slowly developing. Initially there was just a Starbucks on the first floor and a bookstore by the entrance. A Strike Bowling was later added to give more options of where to hang out. There is also a Dave and Buster's located on the second floor which has the food, billiards, and arcade incorporated. Bottom Line: Recommended read more

This place is nightmarish. I saw someone walk into the Lindt store, grab some candy, and stroll out. Classy. I think the only shop that makes this place worthwhile is Saks Off Fifth. There were some very nice Vince sweaters on sale and some gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff bags that were half off. Still, I think I'd rather go to Nordstrom Rack. You can usually find the same brands and clothing items and there are about 75% more staff. PLUS, you can avoid the total nightmare that is Dolphin Mall. Tacky, tacky, tacky. read more

I've now been here twice. Three times if you take into account that I had to get back in the car, merge into the equivalent of race day traffic on turn 3 at Daytona and drive through two zip codes to get through the parking lot to get over to Buffalo Wild Wings. If you're not quick enough or brave enough you'll end up like the Griswold's in "European Vacation." "Look kids, Sports Authority, Bass Pro!" For the next ten weeks I have a Tuesday night obligation near the mall. Since my office is 10 minutes north of here and home is 40 minutes south, I have embraced the gray-haired craze of mall walking. I've been given the moniker of "Papi Gringo" by some of the regulars. I haven't trekked very far, like watching glass blowing, I can be mesmerized by someone standing next to a kiosk hawking a total body makeover that consists of a full body girdle topped off with a neon lit hat proclaiming "I heart Miami." There's a hodgepodge of purveyors ranging from Saks and Neiman Marcus to Brow Art 23, if you want that makeover to be complete. There's a movie theater that serves dinner, a Sam Ash and a bookstore that has (I'm certain it's still there) a John McCain paper doll making book. It's a very accommodating facility from what I can tell. If you've no babysitter to leave your twin chihuahuas with, bring them along! Just returned from Nigeria and need US dollars for Cinnabon, there's a currency exchange right when you walk in the door! As for Papi Gringo, he'll keep coming back. Maybe not to the same area. Maybe not even in the same postal code as he's been before. Though there has to be a store selling GPS's. read more

This is the mall of malls in south florida. The first time I went to this mall was when it opened years ago and then didn't go for most probably a decade or so. Then we returned there this past month. And guess what it was completely different. I was like trying to remember if this looked anything like when it opened and it didn't. The mall is extremely inviting with indoor and outdoor activities. The shops have tons of deals to have but time is the key. If you have ample time you can causally shop and get a bite to eat but if you are crunched for time like we were you get there go to the shops you need to go and get the hell out of there. Either way it's a nice place to hang at!!!!! read more

Very good and fun mall highly recommended. They have lots of great stores to shop at and they also have a wide variety of amazing restaurants to choose from. read more

Very big mall with lots of popular stores and wide variety of restaurants. Has movie theater, bowling, dave and buster's and plenty of bars for entertainment. Newly renovated and started participating in miami spice month. I come here often to watch movies at the AMC movie theater. I also go to dave and buster's to have dinner and play games on date night. I love walking around the mall and seeing the wide variety of stores. The bass pro shop is a store I always have to walk into. It's like a mini them park with a giant fish tank and a cabin in the woods decor of many different statues and items to take a look at. My favorite resturant is probably Texas de Brazil, which is all you can eat steaks and buffet bar. This a very big mall and has something for everyone to shop, eat, drink, and play. read more

This mall is really hard for me to review. There are so many things that I love about this mall: 1) the biggest forever 21 I have ever been inside of 2) I never have to go anywhere else if I'm looking for something specific because there are so many stores it just requires a little legwork to find it 3) the movie theatre in the mall is always great to go to But then there are all the bad things like: 1) no parking ANYWHERE 2) people are going to hit you while walking and then always look at you like it's your fault 3) the food options in here suck So I'm gonna go with three stars and a piece if advice, don't come in here thinking that it's going to be a lovely experience. It is always overwhelming to shop at Dolphin Mall. read more

Have you ever checked out the bathrooms here? Its like they are never clean!! I mean, they can be seriously disgusting at times - beware! Also, the people working at the kiosks will pester you as you walk by. I understand they are working but sometimes they get a little aggressive and a little in your face. This place is big but the far wings of the mall seem dead at times. Parking can be a bit crazy - park in the back by FYE for an easier time. Mall security is joke - don't expect them to help if you are having a real problem. My girlfriend was being accosted and had better luck just calling the police than mall security. read more

I like this place. It's relaxed, and there aren't a MILLION people here - as compared to the ones closer to Miami. This is definitely worth the trip when looking for some deals. The parking was reasonable on a Sunday (even the holiday weekend - Labor Day). Overall great place. read more

Unless you go with a strict agenda, prepare to be there for some time. This mall isn't as big as Sawgrass, but its big enough for you to take at least a half hour for a walk around. There are, naturally, a wide variety of stores in the mall. My go to places are probably just the nike outlet and marshalls. Burlington isn't bad either, but it always seems to be so messy all the time. Parking isn't bad either, unless its by the main entrance. They just opened a Buffalo Wild Wings, also. read more

WOW! Wow was the first thing that came out of mouth when I walked through Miss Dolphin Mall. This male is HUGE!!! I love how all the restaurants are connected too many to choose from. First off I never been to a mall where I had to rest every hour because its so darn big geez. Alot of High end stores and lil discount ones as well. I love the entrance of the mall as well. When I come back to MIAMI I will visit you again!! Add more PLUS SIZE CLOTHING STORES THANKS! read more

This mall is OK. For an "outlet mall" prices are regular. Nothing special. However, my favorite section of the mall is the food court and their free samples read more

We stopped by this mall in route to take a cruise! Visiting various stores, the mall was packed as we shopped for more summer wear as we are from a colder area if the country. My hubby is a big and tall and the stores, especially Burlingtons had a nice selection of clothing for the big and tall man. I found great items in Ross. I wish we had more time. We arrived at the mall at opening. Within two hours there was a packed parking lot., advice: arrive early for decent parking. read more

Alright, I'll admit- I'm an avid Internet shopper. I get most of my clothes online because it's convenient and it feels like Christmas every time there's a box for me waiting outside my door. Lately, I've taken to shopping at this mall. Mainly because my other half but dare I say I have grown to like it?! Pause. I still love shopping online but I have to admit this mall has a variety of stores as well as entertainment options. Though the people that work in the mall stores range from 'I-sincerely-care' to 'I-hate-my-life-what-do-you-want?', you can still find bargains. Just beware of the parking- expect to park far away and walk and you'll be glad you did. People tend to drive terribly in this lot. read more

I love this mall. This is my favorite local mall. They have shops, restaurants, bars, live music, a theater, a bowling alley, Dave and busters, they literally have something for everyone. The forever 21 store they have is huge. I frequent that store the most. I also love Churromania and Teavana. I like how this mall has different types of stores that fit into my budget. They offer many different options for everyone. Dolphin mall also serves to many tourists from all over the world. I used to work in a hotel, and I remember when Brazilians and Venezuelans would check-in, they would ask me how to get to Dolphin Mall. I would be surprised on how they already know about dolphin mall when it's their first time in Miami. I guess that shows you how popular this mall is. I have been coming here since its opening in 2001. The mall itself has changed and gotten better. They are now expanding and adding more stores. They are also adding a garage, which is great because parking can be a hassle. I'm excited to see what stores this expansion will offer. I will be visiting again soon. read more

Okay....I went here went SoBe flooded & I couldn't get home a couple weeks ago. This place is a complete MADHOUSE on Friday nights!! The place is huge, parking is a bit of a disaster, and standard to Miami... everyone drives like maniacs in the parking lot.... so be careful! Once you get inside you have to dodge a million tweens & teens. So, those were my gripes. On the plus side, they do have a large variety of stores and it is kind of nice inside. (minus the hordes of kids). I milled around and went in some shops then decided to catch a movie. The theater was nice and clean, my popcorn was good and the workers were pretty nice & efficient. There was just some idiot that would periodically flash his laser pen on the screen to annoy everyone.... I think next time I'll check out the place you can have a waitress that is supposed to be pretty cool :) I can't remember what it's called, but it's in the same complex. Overall, parking is annoying, kids are annoying. Plus side, lots of variety of stores (including some outlet/discount type stores) and decent movie theater. SO... not my first choice of somewhere to go shopping, but I will probably swing by from time to time. read more

I am giving this mall 5 stars mainly because it carries a ROSS Store. When I visited this store back in 2013, I fell IN LOVE. Brand name stuff for very reasonable prices. We actually met a lady there who was on her second trip. She told us she bought so many clothes, she had to return to the hotel to offload, and come back to the store to start fresh. In itself, the Mall is clean and carries a lot of stores. I will be back in June for sure :) read more

The only reason why I'm giving this mall a 4-stars is because of the Cinebistro they have and the low prices they have. If you're shopping for clothes and accessories, this mall is great for that. They have a lot to choose from and the prices are great. You can real get a good amount for $100. The only downside to this mall is that it is ALWAYS crowded. Don't go if you don't like crowds or long lines. I really feel like most people go there just to hang out and not necessarily to shop. You can't be in a hurry if you want to shop here and the parking is, of course, equally as ridiculous. read more

Dolphin Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Miami, Florida

A beautifully laid out mall, that is delightful on the eyes!! Plenty of shops and eating spots!!!

What doesn't this mall have?!?! It has to be the best mall in Miami when it comes to the variety of stores located here. You can get great designer clothes so you can look like a sopisticated douche, get some fishing gear for your boring fishing trip, there's a hawaiian shirt store in case you like looking like a moron and a movie theater so you can catch the latest Nicholas Sparks novel-turned horrible film. It may not come off, but I do like this mall. I'm sure if you're looking for clothes, you'll find it here & for cheap. There are many places to eat at the food court along with the major restaurants such as PF Changs, Texas de Brazil or the Kobe Japanese place. Or go to the CineBistro, it's an excellent place to treat yourself to a movie & wine. That is all read more

What a nightmare. Worse mall experience ever. Wish i yelped before driving here! mall is Too big, no class, too many tourists, locals, loud and everything is outrageously expensive! read more

The movie theater is nasty, never cleaned between movies. Food and drinks all over the chair and floor. So disappointed

Overall the mall gets way too congested for my taste. A solid selection of stores but also nothing that seems particularly special. As a Miami native I'd rather visit Dadeland or the Falls even if they do have a smaller selection of stores. read more

I'm not really a mall kind of guy...and I usually only go when I need to buy some clothes or something, but I usually stay away from Dolphin Mall for a few reasons. The first reason being is that Dolphin Mall is generally packed beyond belief. Not only is it crowded beyond belief but is packed with a lot of kids that can tend to be pretty annoying. If you go there on a Friday or Saturday night it seems like every teenager in Miami has gathered at Dolphin Mall. Dolphin Mall does have a LOT of stores but if you're like me and generally just go to the mall to go clothes shopping, and you're a guy, then this mall isn't for you. They don't really have too many stores for guys clothes from what I've seen. As far as clothes go, this mall seems to be geared more towards women. On a positive note they do have a pretty good selection of places to eat at the food court, there are some pretty good restaurants, a nice movie theater (although that gets packed with the teens), a nice Dave and Busters and a pretty cool Bowling Alley. All in all it's not a bad mall, but it's just not the kind of place that I would go to do my shopping. read more

one of the worst malls you can attend! the parking is horrible, the service in the mall is horrible. it's beyond crowded. if you like shopping in outlets this is the place for you, this mall is mainly for out of town people. the wait for restaurants are always an hour plus long which makes things pretty annoying. if you live around the area i rather drive a little more to dadeland mall or if you're looking for an outlet mall i suggest going to sawgrass mall. read more

Dolphin Mall, you either love it or hate it. Considering I spend most of my lunch hour here I LOVE IT!!! I haven't always had a LOVEY DOVEY relationship with this mall but since a couple new additions & my friendly and benevolent food court mama's I have grown to love it. First off Food, this review is for yelpers after all, ok so if you do the sample round at the Food Court you won't need to spend a dime on food and you can spend it on shopping. The "mamitas" at the food court love to hand out super sized samples. (maybe they know me & see my starving face but I love it) I have a particular bond with the "Mambo Chicken" & the Charley's Sub ladies. If you want to go healthy you can go to the Japanesse Spot next to Charley's and get Loads of Veggies with freshly cooked chicken or beef. Shopping: The Banana Republic Outlet is AWESOME...I go directly to the Clearance Section and always find a steal! The new Bloomingdales Outlet is incredible, I recently bought a dress and I thought I was spending too much, $60 was on the tag...mind you the original price was $270. When I finally realized it was a bargain I was blown away when the cashier said "your total is $42.89" I almost died of happiness. I'm pretty frugal when it comes to spending for myself. I like the Ross here, it is not as bad as the others a little more organized. Just a tad!!! WARNING: It's a mission to pay because of the tourist that visit. The Forever 21 gets me nervous, I don't know if it's the massive amount of tweens or hot S.Americans(who although tow 4 children, manage to look like Victoria Secret Models) that intimidate me. Still get the staples here. Forever X1 IS ALWAYS PACKED!!!! I also love bringing co-workers here...they love it & I love their happiness! Movie theater is ok on the weekday, avoid the chongivity activity during the weekend. Much love to my chongas!!! read more

A great place to shop to buy gifts to hang out uniform many rabid crowd in weekend I have Nike factory have a lotta shops could buy today the Nike factory have great discount on knickers $150 become $59 it was great great price read more

I recently visit Miami and this was our family shopping favorite spot! It was amazing! Can't wait for next year!

I have a love-hate relationship with this mall. The parking is atrocious, but I've learned the trick.... If everyone is going right, go left...Sounds like common sense, but apparently many people that come here follow each other. Go to the North side of the mall and you will find good parking. To get out of the mall, leaving through the main entrance (NW 12 st.) BAD Idea... Go through any other exit and you'll be able to leave with your sanity. Another good idea... DON"T go at night during the weekend... Tons of little kids all over the place and plenty of refs hanging out. Not my cup of tea, so I tend to avoid it like the plague ( at night). The stores are good and a HUGE diversity... which is nice if you need to buy different things or just want to "window" shop. They are Outlet stores, but you get good deals. I gave it another star because you get to have some drinks and then go shopping or vice verse. I enjoy the "Let's Make a Daiquiri" to have some drinks, but don't linger too long around since the "refs" come out at night.... and nothing can ruin a cocktail more than a "OYE MAMIIII " Happy shopping!!! read more

Dolphin Mall is always full to capacity. I've come at any hour and there are always herds of people there ranging in ages. The stores, I find, are mostly aimed at women... which I find convenient and there are several ways to pass the time if you decide to come here; You could go to one of many bars and have a drink, you could bowl, watch a movie, have dinner, go to an arcade... there really is a variety of different things to do. My reasons for not coming to Dolphin Mall more often are: The parking, you could come at 10:30 a.m. on a Tuesday and you're going to have to park all the way in the back, the crowds... sometimes its really a pain to even walk next to your friend by your side because of all the people... even watching a movie... you'd have to show up at least half an hour before in order to make up the time you're in line to buy the tickets. I have had good times here, company happy hours for instance, playing games at D&B, even finding a great sale. But, I wouldnt say its my first choice no matter how versetile it is. read more

Large mall, it seems bigger than Aventura to be honest. I notice the stores here are cheaper and aren't as high end as Aventura. It's always clean inside and it doesn't get too packed. It has lots of resturants, a dave and busters, and a movie theathre. But I still prefer Aventura. read more

The only time of day this mall could be tolerate on weekends is early in the morning. If you arrive early, you can enjoy the outlets (the only real reason to come here) while the mall is still pretty empty AND you can always find parking which is a major plus. Trust me. You'll thank me later. Aside from that, I really don't come to this mall for the eateries or to watch a movie. Don't believe the hype. I think I rather go to Muvico in Hialeah than deal with Dolphin Mall parking and people. The outlets have great deals sometimes and that's when it's worth the drive. read more
