Yes been twice, 4/5 years ago.

It's like the Orlando Premium Outlets, but indoors, bigger with more shops and much easier to get lost in! There was a Super Target there, so that was handy, and I seem to remember a Rainforest Cafe too...we never got all the way around it.

We prefer (ok I prefer!) Dolhpin Mall - less shops to walk round!

Yes, we went 3 years ago - it's very large and indoors. I remember buying a hand bag in Vera Bradley and would have bought some bath and bodyworks stuff! We had dinner in the Cheesecake factory there and stayed at the Doubletree nearby on the way up from Miami. Had a lovely breakfast at First Watch the next day on our way up to Hutchinson Shores. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

We did the Dolphin Mall on the way home as it's close to Miami airport.

Yes we tend to pay a visit there every year but we stay in Fort Myers so make a day of it.
I think I'm correct in saying its the largest outlet centre in Florida depending on how quick you shop you would be hard pushed to do it all in a day. Probably not number one for bargains, for me that is still Miromar, but we do probably the lions share of our shopping at SM.
There are all the major brands there with the shops tending to be a lot bigger there than elsewhere, plus they have a Century21 huge department like store where you'll find all the designer brands.

Its it worth a visit, if you like shopping then defo...!

We have been a couple of times - there are loads of shops but for me it was more like a shopping centre like Florida Mall than Outlets. Very few bargains to find but loads of stores.

We’ve been twice and I like to fly home from Miami so we can go there on the way back! So many shops and also a Disney Character Warehouse for anyone who might be interested.

Been many times and embarrassed the amount of time we can spend in there.
Did find better bargains than in Orlando outlet malls, but have only visited on way up to Orlando from Miami.
This year (travel willing) we will be flying direct into Orlando, so will make a day trip as we love it that much 😁

Do factor in a whole day as it'll need it

We’ve been about half a dozen times usually after getting off the ship (Caribbean cruise) - we rent a car, head out to the mall for some therapy and then have a leisurely lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen or Bahama Breeze before heading off to the airport (FLL or MIA). It’s a huge mall with all the usual stores, last time we were there (2018) I got a load of bargains at Under Armour. The only problem is stuffing it in the cases and staying within our baggage allowance!😂
