Best Mall in the state of Florida "Hands Down"!!!
I mean I love Bal Harbour shops too, but if you're looking for everything shopping the Aventura Mall is the Best place to go!
All the biggest Dept. Stores under one roof, great restaurants, movie theater, and Top Notch Shops. Unbeatable ... -

Esther W. and Carlos H. have already summed up what I like/dislike about this mall. I also have a love hate relationship with this mall.
I love that I have access to pretty much any price level of any brand I could possibly desire. I like the variety at the food court along with all the other dining options. My favorite store is hands down Sephora. This is one of the larger Sephora stores with a really nice selection. My second favorite would be Michael Kors.
My hate is precisely what Esther W describes. The mall doesn't seem to have a soul. I can find 400 burnt orange shirts or 10,000 color blocked outfits. There just seems to be something missing from this mall...maybe a cheap side. ha! Despite living walking distance from this mall, I find myself driving to Sawgrass Mills to go to the Nike outlet. Both options have a Grand Lux Cafe. :) -

This place does have a lot of everything - except staff!!! I got lost in here - didn't know there was an exit on the 2nd floor for a ground level parking lot - and couldn't find ANYONE to help me. Security ended up being dressed in all black, no name tags, no uniforms - unrecognizable as "staff".
It's very clean, but the exits are also not well defined :( -

This is one of the FANCIEST Indoor mall in the FLORIDA area (i think).
All the Brand names you can think of.
Plenty of sparking spaces and is right off the Interstate 95.
Expect lot of walking.
Restaurants - Plenty to choose from.
Movie theater accessible.Listed in: Flo-Rida

I have a love/hate relationship with this mall.
First the love: it's huge. So many stores. Parking is very plentiful, including regular lots and parking garages.
Now the hate: I'm not one to "go ga-ga" over brand names. This mall is all about the brands and ONLY about the brands. If you are looking for what's popular, than this is the place for you. If you prefer to be a bit unique, and not buy a product just because it's the "in thing", then you will get frustrated here.
I'll shop here occasionally. I'll come in when there is something specific that I need, but this mall isn't really my cup of tea. -

Aventura was a cool mall to kill some time and walk off some of the food we ate around Miami. It reminds me of the Millenia Mall in Orlando and International Mall in Tampa in several ways including how it caters to expensive tastes and the shoppers seem to be very trendy as well. You will find most of the same stores as well. Overall, a pretty cool mall (and close to Sunny Isles Beach) - but not a necessary stop during a trip down South. Unless you have that Cheesecake Factory itch...which I regularly have. Leaving the mall was a little bit of pain as Antonio E. points out.

This mall is good for the rare rainy days in South Florida. Aventura Mall is one of those locations that provides an upscale shopping experience. Much nicer than Dolphin Mall. I have no problem merely browsing, but if you don't have restraint...you will spend a lot of money here!

I have a love hate relationship with this mall. I love that it is all in doors(unlike sunset place and the Falls), has a movie theater, things to keep the kids entertained and basically every national retailer you can think of.
Now the hate part... parking is a nightmare especially considering how rude the drivers in this area (aka get out of my way I'm in a Mercedes). This translates in to very rude, stuck up, self absorbed, shoppers. People will cut you in line, bump into you and never apologize... yes I know this is just how Aventura is but still....
Now the kids play area is max 42 inches for kids which is about 4 years old. I bring my niece here (because of the movie theater, Disney store and color me mine) but that will end at 43 inches. -

Definitely not your typical mall type of typical. My first, second, third and fourth adventures to the Aventura have each confirmed the uniqueness not only of the mall but of its patrons as well. The stores are uniquely more diverse, more upscale and somewhat more $$$$ than most, the patrons seem to be speaking more varied languages...Spanish, Russian, English, Swedish, French, Japanese (as well as many others).....than I hear spoken at other malls and run the gambit from the dressy chic to the beachy flip floppy on to the crooked hat wearing baggy panted ghetto kid types. Indeed the people watching can be as good as the window shopping.
Its stores, mostly upper scale with many out of the norm for a typical mall but not really up, up scale as would find at Bal Harbor and its varied customer base make for a generally out of the ordinary mall shopping experience which, at least for me, is appealing. -

South Florida, although often on top, often ranks highly on cities and areas that have a high cost of living. Aventura Mall is one of those locations that provides an upscale shopping experience. There are no discounts here. If you're looking to save a few dollars, find your way to Dadeland / Dolphin / Sawgrass. I always find myself here for various stores, but rarely for just walking around. If I come to Aventura, it's because there is that one store that I need and can't find anywhere else. I've yet to find a non-busy time, so plan your trip accordingly.
Bottom Line: Best high end mall in the northern part of Miami-Dade county, and you should plan to spend if you go here. -

Very clean mall with great shops, a movie theatre, nice restaurants and a gym (why?). My favorite part about this mall is the location. Sometimes traffic can be a beast, but if you live anywhere off of I-95 between miami and ft lauderdale it is pretty convenient.
I always park in the movie theatre garage for easy covered parking. -

El centro comercial de Aventura is definitely the best overall shopping centre in South Florida. When I used to live about nine blocks away, this mall was where my Equinox gym was as well as my four favorites--Lush, Origins, Ruehl (now closed) and G-Star.
The mall has shops for everyone, from the Ferrari & Porsche (fashion and home, not automotive) stores and Desigual to JcPenney and the two level Forever 21--and there's lots in between!
The best garage parking is on the Nordstrom side, it has the most cameras and the best security coverage. The Nordstrom garage is also the less accident prone since the ramps are wider than the other garages. And forget about parking on the Macy's side parking lot, I don't think I've ever seen an open space before 10pm! Anyway, it's Florida, park in the garage!
Unfortunately, since this mall is close to the North Miami slums west of 95, this mall does suffer from quite a bit of questionable activity, particularly during the weekend evenings. The movie theatre side is usually littered with ghetto teens wearing Nike Foamposites and white t-shirts that resemble hideous moo-moos. If you want to avoid these types, visit the mall during the weekdays--or any day in the morning.
Overall, it's an excellent mall. Plants are well-kept, everything is very clean and carefully looked after.
I also wonder when that LED woman will stop her walking?! (If you're not a local, you most likely won't get that!) -

Aventura Mall....Disney World for women!
Now this is a mall where you can spend an entire day in... shopping, eating and even catching a movie.
They have everything in this mall from the high end stores to the more moderately priced stores. The high end stores include Louis Vuitton, where a key chain can set you back $415.00, Bloomingdales, Herve Leger, Burberry, etc... The moderately priced stores include: Sears, JCPenney, Forever 21 (2 stories), Macy's, GAP, etc... There is definitely something for everyone.
While I was there yesterday I decided to pop into Sears..I haven't been into a Sears Department store in years. Anyways, I went in to see the new Kardashian Collection and was not impressed. The clothes and purses look cheap in its quality, definitely not a reflection of the things they would wear. After 2 seconds of checking it out, I left. I did manage to get a glimpse of some of the other items that Sears had and they were kinda nice.
The mall itself is awesome; two full stories of great stores. The mall has great restaurants but for those seeking a quick bite, they also have the food court. And even after a great day of shopping (tangible or not) and perhaps after a great meal; a movie awaits, the movie theater is literally within walking distance and inside the mall.
What I truly appreciate most about the mall is the many choices you have. The choices cater to everyone's taste, gender, style and $$$$.
The location is great and there is ample parking. The distance, although, far from me, is worth it.
Can't wait to go back! -

I have a love/hate relationship with this mall.
It sort of reminds me of the malls in Orange County, CA. I can enjoy being around the fancies of Miami, but I cannot enjoy being around the ghettos in Miami.
I wish they had a Saks, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom aren't cutting it for me. We need Saks!!! I appreciate the fact they've brought in higher end stores such as Louis Vuitton and Herve Leger. The mall is HUGE, everyone likes to park near Bloomingdale's. Your best bet is to park in their parking garage and walk. Bring fashionably-comfortable walking shoes if you want to shop till you drop. And a good attitude, you'll run into a lot of rich-snobby-foreigners who just spent your mortgage payment on some shoes and a purse.
My best advice is come during the week, during off-peak hours. The mall is calm and quiet. You can definitely enjoy it more! -

Aventura is a humgous mall. It is almost to big for me. There are way to many options. However, that is one of those things that make it a nice mall. You can find all kinds of stores in this mall as well as good dining options. The stores range from inexpensive to very expensive. Shops from Europe and America etc. So no matter where you are from you will find something you like. They have a huge valet area

First time going to this mall and really loved it! Easily accessible from I95, very clean, lots of restaurant options, and they have a lot of unique "attractions" such as Diesel, Inglot Makeup, Zara, Ferrari, and most importantly, a two story Forever 21! It was interesting to see the variety of people in here; most spoke Spanish and it seems like half the ladies in here were waring black skirts. It's an hour roundtrip for me, but I will definitely be back!

I can't believe I'm giving a mall a five-star rating. It's not 1986, "The Mall" is not the place to go for fun, and I actually really hate shopping. Like, I order almost everything online because I'd rather wait four days for shipping than actually go into a store and deal with people.
But I like this mall.
There's a koi pond and lots of cool water fountains and random little farmers market-esque tables in a sunny atrium selling anything from shea butter to orchids to "water rocks" (no idea what those are). There's your standard mall fare, too, all the usual stores and food court places. We went on a Sunday afternoon; it was ridiculously clean even though it was quite crowded. Security was everywhere but somehow unobtrusive. The bathrooms were easy to find and navigating the mall itself was a breeze thanks to the directories everywhere.
The best thing, in my opinion, is the valet parking. For a $5 flat rate they'll park your car; triple that and they'll hand-wash it and detail the inside. Rock star.
Again, I'm shocking myself by how much I'm praising a stupid shopping mall; we're hardly conspicuous consumers and I tend to hate buying for the sake of buying, but being in this mall was kind of pleasant. Kind of embarrassing to admit that, but there it is. It was cool and sunny and highly air-conditioned with that odd dry smell that all malls have. And my kids loved the koi pond and the four-story fountain, so I'm pretty sure we'll be back sooner than later.
If you're looking for a way to kill some time on a stormy Miami summer afternoon, this might be it.Listed in: Magic City

Talk about madness! LOL! Great mall and shops but I think the day I went everyone in south Florida went. It was packed. Nonetheless it has plenty of shops, nice indoor fountains and restaurants. While I was there we ate at the Cheesecake Factory (Sat night) and only had to wait 15 minutes. Next time I will go during the week.

I've only gone once yrs ago while on vacation, but I don't think Yelp was around back then. This is a beautiful, good-sized (300 stores) mall. You can definitely get some good shopping done here. It's got the 3 dept stores I like: Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, & Macy's. I could take or leave JCPenney & I'm never in Sears for anything. I don't recall how the food court was or what kind of restaurants they have, but I'm sure it's a nice selection.
There's not much more to say, but if I'm ever in Fort Lauderdale again, I'll definitely return! -

Best mall in South Florida hands down! It is very clean and new looking. No where near as upscale as Bal Harbor, but still an amazing mall. Great selection at the food court, which all have great food for cheap. Tons of stores of good quality products for people on a budget.
It's always packed on the weekends just like any other mall, but the best times to go is during the day, it's never too crowded.
It's three floors, has a movie theater, restaurants, and a good variety of stores for everyone. -

This is definitely the best mall I've been to in Florida! They have the best stores and a great variety of food places. On top of it all, the entire mall is clean and very aesthetically pleasing.
We stopped here on our way to Boca during rush hour. The place was packed but we didn't have any trouble parking. Most shopping malls that I've been to have terrible parking lots, but this one was excellent!
Even though I live about 40 minutes away and there are about 10 other malls closer to me, next time I have to go shopping I'll definitely make the drive to Aventura mall. -

Where have I been my whole life? Hidden under a rock? A feral child living the Tarzan life?
Why had I never been to this mall before after 23 years living in Miami? Oh yeah - cause I was sucked into the Kendall life.
As an adult, I've allowed myself to progress and move forward, and have visited Ft Lauderdale approximately 3 times now and Broward about 4. I have discovered new lands known as Coconut Grove, Brickell, the Design District, and of course South Miami.
But Aventura? This was a whole new area to conquer. And only something like last minute Xmas presents to convince me could get me there.
Holy Guacamole!! Three floors!! Urban Outfitters on steroids! Anthropologie in person, no more online shopping! Juicy couture, Teavana, Swarovski, Calvin Klein, oh my. Amazing people watching opportunities exist!
The food court! Woah. Like every kind of Asian quick services you can think of. I couldn't decide between the Japanese, the Shrimp one, or the Thai one with too many choices - and ended up with a pathetic salad. But next time I will choose more wisely. I did discover Beard Papa's yummy mochi & pastries as a snack - gotta refuel after so much shopping, as well as some overpriced but tempting cupcake cart.
So many options, not for the weak decision makers, at this mall. After a day of shopping here, get the foot soaker and the remote ready for a night on the couch relaxing. -

I've died and gone to mall heaven!
Stopped by here with a few friends on the way back from South Beach. No one was prepared for what we encountered.
By far, one of the best malls i've ever been to. It's elegant, huge, and equipped with tons of different stores to keep everyone occupied for hours. It even has a gym/fitness center!
It was a Saturday afternoon, so like most malls this one was packed. We didn't have too much trouble finding a parking spot though.
It has just about every store that PBG and Town center have. So if you live in the Boca-Delray-Boynton area it's definitely worth the drive (40-45min).
This mall can be an all day adventure. You'll literally shop till you drop, and when you do you'll be glad that this mall has tons of food options, in and out. -

I'm going to start out this review by explaining that I love big, busy, crazy malls with tons of stores, people, restaurants, etc. As far as I'm concerned, the bigger and busier, the better!
That being said, for a big mall to work, it has to have the right department store anchors, the right huge retailers, a handful of high-end boutiques, and a few smaller, trendy boutiques. Aventura has all these things, which is why I love this mall.
Parking can be a bit of a pain at this mall if you don't know where to look. In my many past years of retail management, I learned how to find great parking at malls. There's always a trick - and at this mall, it's the far parking garages near the theaters and Macy's. Zip up to the higher levels, and you're golden. I've never had a problem finding a spot in these locations, even during the busy Holiday and Back to School season.
Whether I'm looking to grab a few toiletries from Kiehl's or the Body Shop, wanting to stuff my face at one of its many restaurants, or shop my heart out for new clothing and accessories, Aventura always has what I'm looking for. And in my books, that's the difference between a good mall and a great mall. -

Not as flashy as Bal Harbour, but this mall has all of the shopping you need for a day. And a day is practically what's needed to navigate around the place. Zara, Inglot, Nordy's and a full array of children's stores. Come here to get out of the heat, and a stay a bit while dining at one of the lovely well-known restaurants.
4th largest mall in America? I can see that. Your feet are tired at the end of your visit..but you will most likely have bags full of goodies to account for your stay. -

Yesterday my boyfriend and I took a little drive up to Aventura Mall and I wish that we had gone to the Dolphin Mall instead. I have never been to the Aventura Mall before, being that I have only lived in Florida for only a month now. My boyfriend said that I would probably like this mall better just because it has more of the "newer" merchandise and products.
Getting to Aventura Mall is closer to where we live than the Dolphin Mall, but I think I would rather put up with the longer drive to have a better opportunity to find something I would like. Finding parking was horrible. It took a while to find a spot.
I was on a mission to find some nice office wear for my interview that was this morning. I had no luck except the Express. They had a sale buy 1 get the other 50% off so I bought a few. Every other store was not around my budget at the moment, didn't have my size, didn't fit right, or not my style.
After walking the entire mall we left . . .dissatisfied . . . so we drove down to the Dolphin Mall where I found everything I wanted/needed in the first place & something to hold us off til dinner time -

Love this mall but it can be a real pain getting in and out. If you can be patient and sustain the frustration of the parking jams that form around the mall, this mall is worth it
It has all the usual big department stores you see at all other major malls (Sears, JC Penney, Macy's, etc.) but this mall is HUGE. If you have not been to this mall before, you will get disoriented in a hurry. One thing that I have always loved about this mall is the food court, which has a wide variety of food and is actually delicious. I try to avoid the Cheesecake Factory since there seems to be one at every mall in the country now and Grand Lux Cafe (Chessecake's smaller incarnation)
FYI: Aventura Mall now has instituted a curfew where after 9:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays no one under 18 is allowed unless you are with an parent or guardian 21 and over; this was due to several brawls having broken out where the movie theatre is -

The reason I adore this mall is because they have the biggest Anthropologie I've ever seen. I love going to Anthro and thus, I love going to Aventura.
They've also got the Apple store but unfortunately you can almost never step into the store on weekends. Since it's always packed. Still, definitely a plus.
There are tons of great stores. The restaurants are alright, I prefer Cheesecake Factory out of all of them. There is also an AMC and a gym.
Another store I love: BCBG. And they have TWO of those. TWO.
Thumbs up for Aventura Mall. -

I really like Aventura mall compared to most malls around South Florida. It has a ton of stores you can't really find anywhere around the area. Besides the stores it features a movie theater, cheese cake factory, giant food court, and multiple floors. If you can't find what you're looking for here, you have some big troubles. This place can be horrible for finding parking and lets not even talk about holiday shopping. But overall, its an awesome mall and one of my favorites!
