You can get on the Turnpike at Wildwood and drive one hour south and take I-4 East and take the first exit and stay to the right and you'll see Mall of Millenium. It's a very nice mall, but most stores are very upscale and the food court is not that big for a 2 story mall that has over 150 stores.

Stay on the Turnpike one more exit, then take Airport exit and then exit to Orange Blossom Trail US 441 North, and go about 3/4 of a mile and Florida Mall will be on your right. It's a big mall with just as many stores but all on one level, so be ready to do some walking. It had a great food court, but about 2 years ago they tore down the food court and built a completely new one where Saks 5th Avenue was. It's even larger than before but they lost the Dairy Queen which was a favorite of mine. They even have a hotel at the Mall that's several stories tall.

I sometimes feel like I've traveled to another country when I go to these two malls, as it seems no one speaks English anymore, not even the employees. So for the last couple of years we've been going north on I-75 to Gainesville to Oaks Mall. It's also about a one hour drive and exit at the third Gainesville exit (Newberry Rd) and go east about 1/4 mile and the mall is on the right. It's similar to Florida Mall with 5 big anchor stores, but you feel like your in a down home country town, and not so much in Florida since there are so many young people with the University there.
