I recently stopped by The Gardens Mall while visiting one of the gelato shops, and it reminded me…read morewhat a pleasant place it is to spend an afternoon. The mall is clean, bright, and beautifully maintained, making it a comfortable destination--especially on a hot Florida day. The air-conditioned indoor setting is a welcome escape, and there's a great mix of stores, whether you're shopping for fashion, gifts, or just browsing. Another plus is the ample parking. It's easy to get in and out without the hassle of circling for a spot. You can park in the shade or not! Whether you're planning a shopping trip, grabbing a bite to eat, or simply making a stop at one of the specialty shops, The Gardens Mall is a relaxing and enjoyable place to visit.

The Gardens Mall first opened its doors on October 5, 1988, as The Gardens of the Palm Beaches…read more Developed by The Forbes Company on 400 acres along PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, the two story, 1.4 million-square-foot shopping destination had Macy's, Sears, and Burdines as its original anchor stores. Over the next few years, it continued to grow into one of South Florida's premier luxury malls, with Bloomingdale's opening in 1990 and Saks Fifth Avenue following in 1991. Burdines closed in 2004 as part of Federated Department Stores' corporate consolidation and was replaced by a two-story Nordstrom in 2006. Sears, one of the mall's original anchors, permanently closed on February 29, 2024. This was my first visit to The Gardens Mall, and everything about it exuded luxury. Parking is plentiful and free. Inside the elegant fountains and water features, lush faux floral arrangements, and sculptures scattered throughout the mall lent themselves to creating an upscale atmosphere. The shopping lineup is equally high end with designer boutiques like Talbot's, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany, Lilly Pulitzer, Chanel, Gucci, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton, and many more. When it's time for a break, the elegant Gardens Café food court offers quick service favorites like Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack, and Charley's Philly Steaks. I especially loved the mural that wraps around the food court called A Story of Florida. It depicts Florida's earliest history of indigenous people and the arrival of the Spanish and ends with a space shuttle taking flight. Full-service restaurants include California Pizza Kitchen, Cooper's Hawk Winery, P.F. Chang's, and Brio Italian Grille which all have sit down dining options. I liked walking around the mall and while I don't generally shop luxury brands I did check out the Hallmark and Yeti store. I would come back for a bite to eat and to take in the beautiful surroundings. Even if designer labels aren't in your budget, it's worth stopping by to window shop and enjoy the tranquil vibe while taking advantage of very appreciated air conditioning, which is so vital this time of year.

The prices were fair and a really good deal. They have another location in the Delray Beach area as well. Unfortunately, they don't have any Ollie's locations closer to me, but that's ok because I don't need to spend more money on BOOKS!!! This was a good find all in all and I'm glad I got to stop by and check it out. They sell tons of other stuff too but I was laser focused on the books during this trip.
