We’ve been getting quite a lot of rainy cold weather in the last week and visiting the theme parks is never as much fun when conditions are like this. Sure, you can still have a wonderful time but there are other places to go and to see that can bring just as much enjoyment and excitement. Shopping is one of those things you can do when the rain comes down and a visit to Florida Mall will get you dancing up and down at some of the great bargains there are to be had in the Orlando area.
The Florida Mall is a large enclosed shopping mall in Orlando and it first opened its doors in 1986. It is widely recognized as one of the premier shopping experience destinations in the area and is located close to many of the Orlando attractions including Walt Disney World, Seaworld and Universal Orlando.
The mall is situated on the southeast corner of Orange Blossom Trail and Sand Lake Road and features over 250 stores, and includes some of the biggest names imaginable as its main anchors. Macy’s, Dillard’s, Sears, JC Penny, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom can all be found at Florida Mall as well as The Florida Hotel.
At nearly 2,000,000 square feet, it stands as one of the largest single-story malls in the United States and it’s here that you’ll find fabulous fashion, exceptional eateries and some delightful diversions. There’s plenty of parking and many opportunities to relax and refresh the mind and body. It’s a great place to visit no matter the weather so make sure it’s on your hit list when you’re in Orlando.
