the shops at wiregrass

Hard for me to label this a "Mall", when shop entrances are along both sides of a long, curving, "street", but it has all the trappings of an indoor mall except a roof, and is much more interesting. No mistake, it is very pedestrian friendly, with most of the parking limited to large lots around the outer perimeter and a parking garage. A good variety of popular stores/brands, and dining choices. Our Feb. mid-week visit didn't encounter any other entertainment, but we weren't expecting any.

The Shops at Wiregrass is more than just an outdoor mall, with things like ice skating during the holidays, pet adoption fairs in the fall, live entertainment throughout the year, a fun train for the little ones to ride in, popular shops, and great eateries. Do not fear the Summer heat, they have cooling misters. I love this mall.

This is an outdoor mall. In the winter, it is great. It is horrible in the summer. It rains a lot too. Not the best mall for Florida! It is smaller than other malls, but enjoyable. They have a market once or twice a month and other events which are nice.

We go every year to view Christmas Displays in Tampa Bay. This year we went to The Wiregrass mall to view the "interactive" display. It was great! With the massive 5 tree display throbbing to the music and then the SNOW!! It runs on the hour and lasts just 15 minutes max, but it was great!

Symphony of Lights was a surprise and an awesome treat. It's an upscale shopping arena with several restaurants. It's outdoors like an outlet mall. 3 dept stores JC Penney, Macy's & Dillard's. Can't wait to visit again!

The Shops at Wiregrass is an outdoor mall. They have big box stores such as Macy's, Dillard's and JC Penney as well as many other shops. Also have nice restaurants including GrillSmith and Pinchers Crab Shack. There is a town center where they have entertainment on certain days throughout the year. During Christmas time they have a huge decorated Christmas tree as well as a synthetic outdoor skating rink. Very pleasant to walk around the outdoor mall. There is music playing through speakers and benches to sit down and relax or people watch. The drawback can be in the summer it can get very hot out there to walk around. Rain can be another issue being its not a traditional indoor mall. Overall I recommend visiting here.

This was our first visit to Wiregrass and we were completely satisfied with its cleanliness and open air layout. It's like visiting a quaint downtown shopping area (parking meters outside shops if you choose not to walk from the free parking area) but without the raucous of downtown traffic. We will be back!

This outdoor mall was spotless. It was a nice place to shop. Typical mall stores, nothing too unique. You won't find Tiffany, Saks, BeBe or even Michael Kors or any away from home boutique but you will see Coach, Buckle, ForeverXXI, Express and Charming Charlie. Its nice but it's HOT.... It is outside and this is Tampa folks! Oh, wear comfy shoes, although there are many places to take breaks. Hitting the pavement like a $2 fashion trixie will take it's toll on your heels.

Beautiful Outdoor Mall. Very taken care of and kept very clean. Every associate of every store is so nice!

This is an okay mall with a decent variety of shops and restaurants. I just don't understand why this trend of building outdoor malls keep popping up all over Florida. It is crazy hot here in the summer and not enjoyable to shop with almost no cover from the sun in the middle of the day. Seriously, would they build outdoor malls up north when they have snow and ice in the winter? Of course not! So why do it here for our summer months - it's the opposite extreme and it just seems like poor decision making to me.

They have a couple of good stores, great restaurants, a location for the kids to play is called Lil'Hands, it was Monkey Business. The place is open concept, family friendly or if you want to come alone it's good too. It's located it a great area that its growing very fast. But overall is a great place to go shopping, do your nails and eat in a great restaurant, i do it all the time.

I love everything about this venue. Shopping so many different stores, from high end shopping to simple low cost "everyday" shops. Not as many food vendors as I would prefer as far as "fast food" they have a Moes which I frequent when there, but other sandwich and pizza place was not too impressive. I think they even have a hotdog and soda cart now and again. But I think they could use a McDonalds or something fast. Although just outside the parking lot there are several other fast food type places around the corner. Sidewalks are nice / streets are clean. Parkking Garage for larger shops are great as well. Fun summer kid things and vegetable market for families on Saturday mornings. Monkey Business is great, clean fun for kids and Dad if they don't want to join mom for shopping. HRS and HRS of fun , safe play for low cost. Some snack and drinks avail there as well.

We went to see the Christmas trees show, most of the shops weren't full, but the streets were packed with people. Parking was hard to find a spot, and there were no real deal on any items for sale.

I was visiting Wesley Chapel for the afternoon and was looking for something to do outside and this mall was perfect. Very nice, reminded me a little of The Grove in LA, Calif. Only a lot more stores. And free parking outside of JC Penney's. Very clean area and very friendly help in the stores. They also have an information booth in the center of the mall for any additional help. Large Christmas trees were up in the center area with a train ride for children. Enjoyable afternoon.

With the exception of Christmas, we visit the Shops at Wiregrass frequently for one reason: Monkey Bizness.Monkey Bizness is an indoor (i.e. air conditioned) play area for children. It's bigger than a typical mall play area but small enough that you can see your child at all times. The price of entry varies but usually is $8 with discounted rates on Tuesday and Friday after 5 pm. You can also buy a punch card that brings the prices down to $6 per child per visit. My children favor the bounce house and the monkey swing, along with the high altitude rope tunnels and the plain ole slide. Beside the play area is an awesome art room where children can paint, stencil, color and glue to their heart's content - no extra cost. Meanwhile, parents have the option of sitting in a cafe area, sipping delicious coffee or they can enter the play area. All who enter the play area must wear socks. If you forget yours, you can purchase them at the counter. For me, this place is a relaxing chance to sit by myself while the kids have a blast. Sometimes I even bring work to do.Birthday parties are also a blast here. Although I live over a half hour's drive away, this place is well worth a trip!
