Dolphin Mall

I love to shopp and i really like the dolphin mall. They have great deals and sales going on all the time. But one must know where to go. It is impossible to go to all the stores. Make sure you know what stores you want to visit before hand, park close, because you will be doing a lot of walking. I think it is more than 240 stores.
The mall is always busy. But the people kind of spread out.
If you did too much shopping they have lockers where you can store your suitcase and make it easier to go back for more. You have to have change.
I love that they have cheesecake factory there. After a long shopping day I know nothing better than a rewarding cheescake. If you do not like sweet stuff they have other pretty dwcent restaurants and a food court.
If you do not find what you needed, the international mall is just righ around the corner.

Ordinary shopping mall, close to MIA airport, convenient to get out but far from downtown and beach.

I hate this mall! Being from Miami i grew up coming here but it’s so annoying! First of all parking is so hard to find, i just end up going to valet parking. Then, the mall is always crowded, more crowded than any other mall i’ve been too. The reason i gave it two stars not one is because it does have some stores that i like.

We visited this mall on a Sunday morning. It’s a huge mall with lots of options and typical retail pricing but good Lord it was crowded on Sunday. Particularly Marshall’s and Ross. Both had plenty of great deals but were terribly under staffed.
Otherwise it’s a typical large mall. Movie theater was very nice with typical pricing. We saw Money Monster on Sunday afternoon during our visit.
All in all it was a good visit and pretty much as expected, just very crowded.

Pros: good stores including and IKEA and a bunch of outlet stores such as EXPRESS, gap etc.
Cons: parking is awful. Finding a parking spot is nearly impossible. It just got a little better w the new parking garage but still difficult to find parking spots on a normal day. Even valet parking is full half of the time

I’ve been going to this mall since it opened 10+ years ago.
I have to say that throughout the years, it has definitely gotten better. There are a variety of stores, they have a movie theater and a bowling alley, plus a whole bunch of restaurants. Recently they opened up three restaurants, I believe — Kona Grill, Brio Tuscan Grill, and I forget which other one, but there was a sign at the mall pointing to it.
I would give this mall five stars EXCEPT that this mall is always, sans fail, packed, and parking, despite being plentiful, is usually a hassle. Not to mention that while this mall has a lot of stores I like, I think they’re a bit behind the times. I mean, how the heck did the mall in Hialeah get an H&M before Dolphin Mall? Just saying — it’s a great mall, but it’s no Aventura or Dadeland Mall.

Best stores, the marshalls and homegoods here as well as the Ross are epic. I love coming better on the weekdays than weekends because gets too crowded. Is very touristic so keep that in mind but overall you find everything that you need to buy in this mall. I love it.
Stores are clean as well as the bathrooms. You tend to get lost so you better keep an eye on those directories or mall maps and maybe plan your routes before coming depending on what you want to buy or what you have in mind but overall I just love the mall. I’ve heard the cine bistro is great as well as some other bars there. :)

Mall has some of my absoulte favorite stores, but is missing some others!
Nice size mall, but always too crowded! Hard to get around.

I dont get the negative reviews. I was in Miami earlier in the year and we kept coming back to this mall. The mall is very big and there are lots of stores. Good options for restaurants and a large food court. The parking area is very big. I like this mall better then the ones in my home state.

Just like I remember it back 10+ years ago! it definitely brought back memories. we arrived very early in the morning and it was pretty much empty. Plenty of stores to choose from for every price point. Designer stores like Steve Madden and Michael Kors were having crazy sales… you don’t see that often here in Boston! Miami Fashion style still remains the same, just like I remember it. Seriously contemplating just traveling to FL to go shopping since they tend to have very unique items that you wont find in Boston.

If ever I needed imagery to describe the term «hot mess» I would reference Dolphin Mall as the perfect example. First of all, the layout of the mall itself is ridiculous. Unlike Sawgrass Mall, where you can find a shortcut to the avenue that you’re looking for, you need to aimlessly wander Dolphin Mall until after what seems like an eternity, you stumble upon the store that you are looking for. And this isn’t a glorious stroll in the mall either. There is no space to walk. You’re literally being crushed by families of 1200 all walking parallel to one another as they yell at their crying babies en espanol to «callate.» You also have people dragging large luggage through the mall, people riding hoverboards through traffic, and teenagers trying to run between people walking to make it to their movie on time. And customer service at the majority of stores in this mall? If you don’t speak Spanish, don’t expect help. And even if you do speak Spanish, tearing these teens away from their Snapchat for five seconds to assist you with finding something in the store results in the death stare (with the exception of Bass Pro Shops. They’re super helpful!) Shopping here is a total nightmare and I have yet to describe the catastrophe that is their parking lot.
Holy mother of pearl, the parking situation is a warzone so come prepared for battle! It may take you up to 45 minutes to find a parking slot and you will realize quite quickly that there probably aren’t enough parking slots available for a mall of this size. Eventually you’ll resort to being that creep who stalks people coming out of stores, slowly rolling down your window and asking if you can follow them to their car. Definitely check it out to say that you survived Dolphin Mall, but I would not wish a Saturday afternoon here on my worst enemy. Two stars for the above and beyond service at Bass Pro. Other than that, avoid at all costs.

If you want a zoo without actually visiting the Miami Zoo, Dolphin mall is your mall of choice!
There is a great variety of stores/​outlets which definitely makes it an easy trip to find everything you need. The downfall, especially for locals, is that it’s for tourists. It’s a zoo all year round, especially during long weekends and the holidays. $ 10 valet is my saving grace because parking is nearly impossible unless you arrive when the doors open.
You definitely want to dress yourself with patience when you visit because there are sooooo many people! Also, keep in mind that just because a place is considered an outlet, that doesn’t mean that it’s older styles or clothes from the regular stores. The majority of these outlets specifically manufacture clothing that is of less quality/​cost for the outlets.

It’s a mall.
Dolphin Mall is Miami-​Dade County’s largest retail value shopping center. It has more than 240 stores. They have a variety of dining and entertainment options. They have various entertainment venues such as Cinébistro, Cool de Sac, Dave & Busters, and Strike Miami. Some restaurants include Texas de Brazil Churrascaria, The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Mojitos Cuban Cuisine.
Parking can be a bit of a pain. This mall also gets super crowded. My favorite part of this mall is that there is a Churromania inside, I love their fresh churros!

Dolphin Mall aka Luggage World is a big circular outlet mall.
If you are overwhelmed by crowds, then this is not the mall you’re looking for. If you can’t stand to wipe away pee off the women’s toilet seats with toilet paper and the bottom of your shoe, then this is not the mall you’re looking for. If you’re in a rush and need to do a quick shopping errand, then this is not the mall you’re looking for. If you insist on finding a front row parking spot, then this is not the mall you’re looking for.
If you’ve got comfortable shoes on and enjoy a long stroll and people watching, then Dolphin Mall is perfect! The reason this place is «Luggage World» to me is because you’ll find anywhere from 30 to 50+ suitcases being lugged around by either international visitors or savvy locals. Dolphin Mall can be loud and full of screaming kids, but a walk around the mall can still be enjoyable.
There is a huge selection of outlet stores, fast food eateries, and restaurants. They recently built a parking garage, which will hopefully help alleviate the parking issues.

Only reason dolphin mall got a 4 star review is because of the parking. Other than this it’s a great mall! It has almost every store I like to shop at, amazing restaurants and the recent renovations have made the place so pretty. They have added a ton of seating out in the main entrance and live entertainment all time. Since the new restaurants opened the lines at Texas de Brazil and Cheesecake Factory have gotten a lot better.
The food court has plenty to offer and since they opened the second valet it’s not such a long wait to pick up your car.
Cine bistro is our only go to movie theater thanks to the delicious food, arranged and comfortable seating and great service.

This mall is not a luxury mall, that’s for sure. This mall contains many factory store options for the suitable for the thriftier discount shopper.
The parking lot is HUGE. Luckily, there are row markers that make your car easier to find later.
My family shopped here just to pass the time. I’m not a huge fan of outlet malls like this — they’re filled with a lot of minorities (yes, of course, I’m one of them) and for some reason, I just don’t feel too comfortable). But the outlet shops do have a lot of cheaper deals you can’t find in regular retail stores.
After a failed attempt to find anything for my parents’ belated Christmas gifts, we left. It was just too crowded in the post-​Christmas season. There were plenty of chain restaurants to choose from for dinner, but looking at how crowded the shops were, we decided not to brave the waits or lines.
I wanted Starbucks so bad, but the two times we tried, the line was out the door (not really a door, but outside the entrance, at least).
To each their own. I prefer to shop in a chill, half-​crowded scene and this wasn’t it.

El Dolphin es un mal necesario. Es un mall cerca del aeropuerto de MIA que esta atestado de gente, pero tiene todas las marcas y tiendas que uno quiera. Tiene mucho estacionamiento y es relativamente fácil de recorrer. Ni es necesario advertir que suele estar lleno de brasileros y argentinos, si viajas al exterior y no te gusta ver compatriotas por doquier, huí.

Pra mim é o melhor Outlet de Miami, sempre tem descontos, fácil acesso e tem todas as marcas que brasileiros adoram.

I’ve somehow grown to love this mall. I really never thought I’d say that.
There really are tons and tons of stores, many of which are outlet or factory stores with incredible prices. My absolute two favorites are Banana Republic Factory Store and Express Factory store. I’ve gotten some really nice, quality clothes on really great deals. For example, there’s a tank top people always compliment me on and guess what — it was $ 2 at the Express store!
The variety of stores is really amazing. They have pretty much everything. I can go buy a pretty pair of heels at the Steve Madden outlet store and then head over to Bass Pro Shops to get some fishing gear — theoretically speaking, of course :)
What I really like is the additions and improvements they’ve been making. There’s finally a parking garage, yay! They’ve added tons of nice restaurants and nice «tropical» music, which I find to be a nice yet very comical touch (welcome to Doral, tourists!).
What I don’t like: the crowds! It’s absolutely terrible. This mall gets SO packed on weekends, it’s really unbearable. It gets full of both tourists (who lug around their luggage and buy 10 392 039 pieces of clothes at each store, making the lines really long) and locals as well. Also, the people at the kiosks constantly stopping you and trying to sell you something — it’s annoying. Food court could use some desperate improvements as well. But there are plenty of food choices all around the mall.
When I want to get some quick shopping done and avoid the crowds, I go either on weekdays during the day OR on weekend mornings (after 12pm, it gets really packed!). Also, I park in the back around Neiman Marcus or anywhere away from the front main entrance. Doing the aforementioned allows me to avoid the crowds and get in and out of here, quick!

Since its beginnings, this mall has definitely improved. Outlet stores, better stores, in my opinion. No need to head north to Sawgrass! Dolphin Mall is extensive, so make sure you know which area you want to visit. A bit of everything for everyone, guess making sure they cover all tastes and flavors!
More food places, better shopping stores, movies, does it get any better? I do have to say that I barely go window shopping. I know which stores I want to visit and browse. Movie theater is good here too.

I love Dolphin mall!!! My go to place for retail therapy retreat!
I know this outlet mall can be overwhelming and crowded but if u manage to master the fastest way to get to your favorite stores, then this place is a breeze!!!
My favorite spot to park is by the Off Fifth/​Saks and Forever 21 entrance! Hem, hem. and yes I lucked out that my two fave and most frequented stores are right by each other! I also ALWAYS find fast and convenient parking at this entrance and love that it is close to other fave stores such as BCBG, Michael Kors, Marshall’s/Home Goods, and Aldo: D
Ahhhhh yes!!! All my mundane problems go away once I go through the double doors and at footsteps to my fave designers and brands at outlet prices! Anyone up for 70% off?! Well dolphin’s the place for steals and deals!

Le paradis du shopping… à prix mini en plus ! Un énorme mall avec les marques phares des States. Là-​bas, on né sait plus où donner de la tête! C’est vraiment immense et en une journée complète (10h-​21h) je n’ai pas réussi à faire tous les magasins que je voulais!!!
Heureusement il y a des plans à choper à l’entée du magasin. Il faut s’organiser et aller de zone en zone selon les boutiques qui nous intéressent. Il y a aussi de très nombreux restos, fast foods et salons de thé en tous genres!
Niveau boutiques: ça vaut VRAIMENT le coup, c’est fou! J’ai passé plus d’une heure chez Victoria’s secret, tellement la boutique est grande, les vendeuses hyper sympas, accueillantes mais pas chiantes, et les promos… irrésistibles! Soutien-​gorge à 30 dollars, 5 culottes pour 25 dollars…
Autre exemple, chez Levi’s: 2 jeans pour 80 dollars. Ce qui revient à même pas 40 euro le Jean! Aïe aïe.
Chez Tommy Hilfiger, les prix sont vraiment incroyables comparés à ce que l’on trouve en France. Un tee shirt homme: 16 dollars, 30 dollars pour 2. Un pull: 40 dollars. Ce n’est rien ! (même si il faut ajouter un peu + pour les fameuses taxes).
Une boutique Converse énorme avec des paires à 25, 30, 35 dollars… Chez Nike, impossible aussi de né pas trouver son bonheur. Il y a aussi la fameuse boutique de produits dérivés de l’équipe de basketball phare de Miami: Les heat !
Et c’est comme ça dans toutes les boutiques! (ou presque)
Niveau restos: ça va du subway, au resto typique américain en passant par Burger King, des pizzerias ou autres fast foods e tous genres. On trouve aussi des stands de jus de fruits/​légumes détox, smoothies et autre healthy food ! Il y en a pour tous les goûts!
Il y a le wifi gratuit dans le centre, et il est aussi facilement accessible, avec un immense parking. Si vous voulez vous refaire une garde-​robe, foncez ! Il y a d’autres malls encore plus grands à Miami, mais celui-​ci est déjà gigantesque et il y a vraiment de bonnes marques!

Aaahhh shopping. Some girls’ dreams! But not me. I’ve never been the type to shop till you drop and kinda hate looking, looking, looking in hopes to find something I like to then try it on and be disappointed cuz I simple hate how it looks on me. That being said I don’t have a personal assistant or styler so I gotta do what I gotta do.
You can definitely find affordable clothing and shoes at Dolphin, once you actually find a parking space after looking for what seems like eternity. Advise on this would be to avoid parking by the main entrance and go around to less crowded areas and avoid coming here on the weekends. Yikes it’s bad!
Besides the stores you have the food court with many options to choose from plus a couple of restaurants (Cheesecake factory, TGI, Buffalo Wild Wings, Johnny Rockets, Latin food place and much more).
I love love Cine Bistro! Must try!
We like taking our son to Cool de Sac and Bass Pro Shops (might just be his favorite store).
So yes, the parking is a huge fail (they do offer valet) but the mall itself isn’t horrible (otherwise it wouldn’t always be so busy).

Wir waren wärend unseres Miami Urlaub 2mal in dieser Mall und sind 2mal mit vollen tüten raus man kann hier den ganzen tag verbringen da die Dolphin Mall riesengroß ist. Es gibt in der Dolphine Mall einige riesen geschäfte die top marken Ware für wenige Dollar anbieten. Auch das Parken war dort kein Problem zudem gibt es auch noch 2 Food Courts und ein Kino. Die Dolphin Mall ist ein wirkliches Shoping Paradies und ein muss für jeden Shoping fan.

Auf alle Fälle nicht schlecht zum einkaufen… Kino und Bowling sind dort auch…

Gibt bessere und größere. Fand es dort nicht so toll.
