The Florida Mall is a super regional enclosed shopping mall located south of Orlando in unincorporated Orange County, Florida, United States, on the southeast corner of Orange Blossom Trail and Sand Lake Road; it opened in 1986. The facility was developed by a Joint Venture of Eddie DeBartolo of DeBartolo Realty & JCP Realty, Inc. (Subsidiary of J.C.Penney Company) starting in 1979-1984; it is currently managed by Simon Property Group, which owns 50%, having fallen to Simon following the 1996 merger of Simon and DeBartolo Realty into Simon DeBartolo Group. With 1,699,571 sq ft (157,900 m2) of gross leasable area and 294 retailers, it is one of the largest single-story malls in the United States and the largest mall in Central Florida.
The Florida Mall is mostly a draw for entertainment and normal mall retailers as the nearby Mall at Millenia handles most of Central Florida's upscale shopping.

This was our indoor day in Orlando after spending the precious two days in the sun at Disney. It was very laid back here and a nice place to unwind and be artistic. The only reason I’m not waiting five stars is because we felt there could have been some better food options. You can basically get either hot dogs or pizza and there isn’t much available if you’re looking for gluten free options. Admission wasn’t too bad, but we used a third party to get discounts which I wouldn’t recommend as we waited for what seemed forever to get the confirmation email for the experience. The lady at the counter did however reward us with quite a few extra tokens for our wait. All in all, a memorable experience and I think we would return!

Very nice place for kids, when you buy the ticket you get 2 coins to play with specific machines or toys. At least on March 2018 they have a nice promotion that you pay on 10 dollars to entry after 17:00, don't remain to much time to play as the place closes 18:00 but is more than enough to have a good time. Very nice is the tables with thousands of Crayola available, as well the wall outside with the amazing history of the company. Super recommended!

Kids had a great time and all staff was friendly. When our daughter had to use the restroom we visited the one nearest the playplace. While washing our hand we observed an employee named Jennifer fixing her hair with the sink running. She walked to another sink to wash her hands and left that sink running as well. I shut them off and explained to my daughter this is not what we do. Employees, make sure you are setting an example for these impressionable kids. We don't want to send the wrong message, do we ?

Absolutely worth every penny!!! I can not wait to take my kids back here. I even had fun. We got to make a crayon with our names on it. Also melt crayons into different shapes. They have so many amazing crayon activities. The sky is the limit here with fun stuff. They have a great cafe with really good pizza or other lunch options so no need to leave to eat. A huge indoor play ground also and a toddler playground that is separate. Definitely make sure you get the coloring pages that have your picture on it. Staff was very friendly in helping with the different activities and encouraging play and imagination.

This is a fun place, my kids (4 and 12) loved it. For Florida residents (depending when you buy) you can get the yearly pass for a few dollars more than a single day. It is crowded on a Saturday (as expected) and a little crazy. With no attendant, the playground area is a mix of Lord of the Flies and Mad Max Fury Road but I didn't see anyone get hurt. I wouldn't recommend that area for less hearty kids but, all of the art areas are great for everyone.

My 2 year old son LOVED this place! We easily spent 2 1/2 hours and would have stayed longer if he hadn't gotten tired. However . . . the employees made the experience less than fun so we will not be going back. It started from the very beginning when we went to check in. They were running a buy one ticket, get one free for Father's Day. Well, we paid for one ticket online and thought that was fine. When we got there, it turns out that we had to buy a full price ticket at the site. Our mistake, which stinks but no big deal. But the cashier was absolutely rude about it. She took our prepaid ticket, processed everything and gave us the one ticket without saying a word, even as we told her it was for two adults and two children under two. After she gave us the ticket, she then asked if my husband was going with us [obviously . . . we said two adults]. We said yes, of course. And she said that we would have to buy another ticket. Confused, we asked if we were mistaken about the buy one, get one free for fathers. She got really huffy and said we had to buy another ticket because we didn't buy a full price ticket there - never did she mention this as she was taking our prepaid ticket. When we said we didn't see that on the Crayola website, she turned a sign around next to the register that had the policy - why this wasn't displayed before this moment is beyond me. She then got a bad attitude with us - EVEN AFTER WE SAID WE WOULD PAY FOR ANOTHER TICKET!! She just seemed extremely annoyed that she had to do her job. We even offered to buy the ticket and give the free ticket to someone else but the employees just rolled their eyes at us. Had we not driven an hour to get there, we would have left but we paid and moved on. Once inside, it seemed like every single employee was in a bad mood and extremely slow. We skipped doing the crayon mold and spin art because less than half of the stations were running, despite a very long line and the fact that it was Father's Day and would understandable be long. While my son had a great time, paying nearly $50.00 to have someone be rude to you is not my idea of a good time. If you can get past this, your child will have a blast! Otherwise, choose something else.

We brought our 3 1/2 year old here and had fun!. Really helpful & nice staff! They supply you with 2 coins when you enter which allow you to choose one color crayon that you can create your own personalized label for. The second coin allows you to buy a small package of putty and you get to choose a color which my son liked. They have a little gym/bouncy area for kids. The activities were cool too. Melting a crayon to make into a little car, shark etc...Coloring/Painting section, the chalk board wall, marker coloring etc...My son had fun and got to expend lots of energy there which is always a good thing. Highly recommend!

Just so everyone is aware, I came today with a friend who has small children. My children are teenagers but still love doing things like this. I was unaware that I, as a parent, would be required to also purchase a ticket even if I am not going to do anything but watch! The person on the phone was completely unapologetic and offered no solution except to pony up another $25! So now I am going to wait 2-3 hours until they're finished. I realize this doesn't apply to most ages that attend this but it's still ridiculous! The lady on the phone said it's to prevent parents from dropping off their kids and leaving! I said that's exactly what I just did!!!!

If you like the smell of crayons go here lol. If not its for sure not a place for you. They have a wonderful show you can watch to learn how crayons are made. They have different activities that you and your child can go around too. There a big play area to let you child play in. You label your own crayon. For the annual pass price you can't beat it. We have went at less 5 times and it was well worth it. Also they have refillable popcorn buckets and cups you can buy and bring back for discounted prices. Great place for a child.

Great way to enjoy the day with the little ones. Pricing is 1/3 what you would spend at the theme parks. I enjoyed the diversity I encountered throughout this "experience". I admire and support a company who embodies the values our nation stands for. Minus one star because many of the machines were down which caused longer lines. Other than that, a wonderful visit. We will be returning.

My 4 year old son loves this place! We got annual passes in December and have gone about at least once a month since. It's a great place to get out of the Florida heat or avoid the summer storms! There are a ton of activities for him to do and each time we visit, we get 2 tokens each that can be redeemed for customized crayons, markers or model magic. Definitely a good stop if you have young kids!

This place was awesome! My two girls ages 5 and 2 loved it! There was so many activities for them to do and even got to take some goodies home! Their favorite activity was taking family photos and turning them into their very own coloring pages! With each paid admission you get two tokens and you can purchase more for $.50 each. Those tokens can be used to make your own crayons, which my kids had so much fun naming them!
