Is Tampa mall worth a visit?

We are going to clearwater for the day this year and was thinking about popping in to the Tampa mall on the way back and eatting at the cheesecake factory.

Does anyone know if the Tampa mall is worth a visit, and if it's close by on our journey home from Clearwater to Orlando?

I think the one you mean is International Mall near Tampa airport, it's really big and has all the big expensive stores, Nordstrom, Dillard's, Macy's as well as designer stores (not outlets) and the usual American Eagle, Hollister Forever 21 etc. You will pass by it on your way from Orlando to Clearwater. The cheesecake factory is on the roof level along with other places to eat. I think it's about 8 miles from Clearwater beach.

The International Mall is an excellent shopping area.

We found that it had all the top stores plus many unusual ones. There is an Orogold store there. Don't be drawn in unless you are prepared to be sweetly talked out of mega bucks for skin cream 😏

There are some interesting furniture/ household stores there too. We could have spent a fortune.

The Cheescake a Factory is on the top level at the very end. We ate outside there late afternoon in March and it was just perfect weather. The food was good too but there are some other interesting places to eat in the same stretch.

I'd say it is worth a visit but you will need a good few hours to do it justice.

Thanks for the info. I will ensure my wife stays away from the orogold store for sure.

I am quite happy to spend a few hours there and avoid the evening rush hour traffic back to Orlando. It will be nice to eat at a different cheesecake as we have only ever done the Orlando one.

We are heading there on the 5th July..
We are flying back from Tampa and staying at the Hyatt across the road.

Will make sure I leave room in my luggage for a little more shopping..
