Shopping in Florida, USA
Rating (9/10)
Miami is the shopping Mecca of Florida and boasts endless premier shopping malls and boutiques. For shoppers who want a taste of the local flavor, Bayside Marketplace and Biscayne Bay have a number of boutiques and specialty shops that sell everything from plastic fruit to high-tech electronics.
The Mayfair Shops, located in the Grove, is a complex made up of boutiques and nightclubs. And Sawgrass Mills, with more than 300 shops and kiosks in a 2.4-million-square-foot facility makes even the most serious and dedicated shoppers feel like they've died and gone to the great big mall in the sky.
In Aventura, dominating the landscape, the Aventura Mall has over 250 stores to choose from, plus 18 food court destinations and full-fledged restaurants. It includes, naturally, a movie theater (in the form of a 24 screen megaplex) as well as a giant indoor playground for the young (or young at heart, as long as they don’t mind being escorted off the premises by security when the children complain). In the confines of this sprawling, gargantuan monument to consumerism, you will find (amid mall standards like Macy’s, Sears, J.C. Penny’s, and Bloomingdale’s) shops devoted to past-times you would never expect to see.
