Destin Commons Reviews

Destin Commons is centrally located with lots of FREE parking available. There is a large variety of stores and restaurants, something of interest to everyone. There is a theatre, you can go bowling or simple "window shop" ~ whatever you feel like doing. Lots of excellent deals offered and the grounds are beautifully maintained. A great way to spend a day with a friend ~ shopping, lunch and perhaps a show.

Wonderful place to visit, shop but you may consider that it will take you at least half a day to cover most of stores and other attractions. Go there!

There are many different kinds of shops that carry anything you are looking for. They have a nice candy store, big name stores, and nice places to grab a snack or meal. Love the book store there!

Destin Commons is a very nice, safe outside mall. Good for shopping and movies. Plenty of stores to browse.

poor mall manager..
security is a joke ...especially head of security...
the only good thing is the local law enforcement are there...this mall needs a change of manager and head of security...i can see there would be much more profit and safety it these things were done. ..

The Plaza had a great selection of different stores. My whole family was able to find things. We really enjoyed our time there.

Well me and hubby went for one reason..... bass pro shop. Not my thing but I actually did love the giant fish tank in there. We came out a different door and saw all the stores. Such a nice place. We really enjoyed walking around and shopping. Prices are great even though it looks high end. Many restaurants there. Gulf coast burgers is delicious and cheap beer. We will make this stop every time we visit.

Nice shopping area with very good prices. On a rainy day is the best place to hangout, has restaurants, I e creams, all kind the stores

Shopping, shopping, shopping. We loved this shopping area. It offer something for everyone. We were a party of 8 and everyone found something. We will surely visit this area next year. Forever 21 & Johnny Rockets were big hits.

Overrated, pricey, and limited parking. The AMC movie theater is old and lacks comfortable seating. There are other shopping opportunities in the area that are preferable.

Nice shopping area, outside with a great variety of shops. Also great restaurants with outside patios.

A kid friendly area is available, including a water play area. There are some nice stores... Some are your typical mall type stores and there are a few you do not usually find elsewhere. There are some nice dining options here too.

Very nice we loved going here and just driving our golf cart around etc. Lots and lots of shops anchored by a small but nice Bass Pro Shops. Lots of restaurants to choose from also

I knew that it was a shopping center but I truly did't know how nice it was. We had friends in town and they suggested a favorite chain restaurant that they wanted to eat at. We agreed and then set the address into gps.

It was the first time that I had driven into the development. As we drove into the streets I realized what I had overlooked. This place was nice and

Great shopping for all ages.VERY CLEAN. So much to do and choose from. Make sure u have some good walking shoes. PLEASE GO TO THE BEEF JERKY STORE...OMG!!!

This is a great activity for a rainy day or if you just love shopping! The outlet selection here is great.

A great place to shop in the Destin area. Lots of different shops to explore while still enjoying the beautiful Destin weather! This is our second time visiting and we always make time to visit the Destin Commons. Highly recommend to anyone who loves to shop!

A nice outdoor mall with lots of walkable spaces. Their is a playground in the middle for little kids. Great just to walkaround and see everything, nice and clean.

This shopping mall has everything a shopper needs. There are premium shops, kid shops, men shops, salons, an AMC theater, & many food/restaurant choices.
Bass Pro shop is here which is a big plus. Belk is one of the base stores, along with H&M. A Whole Foods Grocery will be completed Spring 2016.

It's a shopping mall - but very nicely laid out with a great selection of shops - both chain and local.

Seems like a brand new shopping area with variety of stores, shops, and even a kids playground with fountains. I spent time with my kids outside while they played in the fountains and playground as my wife shopped. Everyone had a blast from adults to 10 month old baby.

There are amazing stores here. There is definitely something for everyone. Went with the intention of going to the Harley store only, ended up spending half the day there!

Went for lush. Tons of parking for free. Lots of great stores. Beautiful area. Loved walking the entire place.

Very large and diverse shopping center. Every shop you can imagine. Great way to kill a day! Parking is fairly easy.

Tons of options for shopping. Nice layout and easy to get to everything. Was not crowded and easy to get around. More advertising on what is where might have been a little helpful

The shopping here is AWESOME!!! Took my 7 yr old to Build-A-Bear to celebrate her birthday. My sisnlaw's favorite store is H &M. My son/brother enjoyed Bass Pro Shop and there are so many stores in between. Spent about 3 hours walking in and out of stores. Very beautiful shopping area. Had lots of fun!! The sales were great too!!!

Visited one evening after a full day at the beach. There are plenty of restaurants and lots of great shops. Beautiful setting and plenty of parking. Great place

Plenty of shopping and dining options, with more coming in the spring. They have a fun play area for kids. I believe they have a water play area when it is warmer as well.

We came to the commons on a light rainy day. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from and lots of stores that fit our entire families interests. Such a beautiful place to just walk around and enjoy the scenery. They have a kids play area, as well as a splash pad. You could probably spend an entire day there. PLENTY of parking. There's also a bowling alley with an underwater theme that's pretty fun. Our son also loves riding the train around the commons.

My husband and I lived in Destin from December 2018 to June 2019 and used to go to Destin Commons to eat, drinks, shopping or watch a movie. This past August I took my son to Destin for a few days to enjoy crab Island, the Harborwalk and watch Toy Story 4. We have a great time!

This mall is a regular stop during our vacation. It has a broad range of food and shopping options, as well as a soft playground and splash pad that provide inexpensive entertainment for younger guests.

Great shopping. A few stores are empty. Panera, Johnny Rocket have left. The theatre is nice, though dated. A lot of great shopping here.

Layout may be a bit confusing....went to the AMC movie theater, and couldn't easily find the entrance....not the nicest AMC, but otherwise pretty nice.

Visited Destin commons at Christmas. Pretty decorations. A lot of stores to choose from. Clean. Plenty of parking. Good food options. Felt safe. Very pretty outdoor mall.

Wonderful place to spend a rainy evening! Plenty of choices for dinner and an awesome theater complex. Use the parking area around back for easy in and out. Big Momma says to stop and chat with the customer service rep located in front of the theater for some helpful pointers (woop woop)

Please plan on making this a shopping stop! There are many stores with great prices on quality merchandise, unlike some other outlet shopping I've experienced. You can truly make a day of it as there are a few dining options from breakfast to lunch. I would suggest you split it up over 2 days. There are many benches for taking a break and the grounds are pristine.

Found this to be a very enjoyable place to sit and people watch while my wife saved me some money. Great stores,warm friendly people,easy to get around.

This area was really well kept! Had lots of restaurants and shops! Bass pro was neat and there was also a bowling place that looked fun. Needed a few more shops because we were in and out quick but still a good stop!

Nice outdoor shopping with easy access and good parking. Although it can get busy, it's not crowded. Check out the "Shark Store" with products from "Shark Tank" tv show.

We visited Destin Commons twice during our vacation. Lots of stores for shopping, some dining, Starbucks of course and my son liked the candy store. Bass Pro is there as well as a movie theater. This is not a mall. It's a shopping center. So you walk outside the stores. The streets are nice and everything looks really nice. There is a water feature for the kiddos to play in. There is a parking lot but you can parallel park in front of stores too but there is a parking meter.

they are revamping Bath & Body so it is temporally located next to Belk. There were not any good sales going on overall but my daughter did catch some decent deals at Forever 21.
Free parking
great place to spend time with family
great area for the toddlers and little kiddos
multiple store options.

We love coming here every year from all the cool places to shop to the places to eat and have snacks my kids love Kilwins for ice cream and fudge they love the Bass pro and the fish bowl bowling alley but that is just scratching the surface for what his here .Even though parking is free please put a little change in the meters it goes to charity .

Walk shopping, every store you can think off, eat shop and just eye shopping. If your abpokemon person, then this is the place for you to shop. Is just so comfortable, very clean, shopping. I recommend you park and walk and shop. But we, my wife and I always end up at the very large Victoria secrets. Lots of great places to eat and find a beer you never heard of. We go every weekend, then next door to my most favorite store - bed bath and beyond.

Beautiful outdoor mall i sunny Destin...husband and kids went to a movie while I walked around the beautiful grounds. Started to rain so I took cover in the shops. Everyone was friendly. Typical mall tenants but fun to enjoy in Destin!

If you are looking for some shopping, there is plenty here. All of your major chain retail stores are here. There is a handful of restaurants here also to choose from. The splash area is great entertainment for the kids also.

Very beautiful 🤩 Just the place to find all the Christmas gifts for my family and of course myself 😅🎁

Great shopping and eating here! Fun to do if the weather isn't beach savvy! Bowling alley here and movie theater as well! Many restaurants to choose from! Shopping plentiful with nice stores! Much to do!

This was a mid size shopping area. The restrooms were amazingly clean and well kept. The area appears to be new. There were many stores--most employees were welcoming. It is anchored by a Belk Department Store. Prices were a bit high even with advertised "sales". Think it is a good draw for tourists but wonder if the locals shop there.

This was a great break away from typical beach town adventures. The boys went to the movies while the girls had Starbucks, walked around shops, and sat by the splash fountain watching the kids enjoy in the fun.

We loved all the shops. All our favorite stores in one location. The atmosphere and beauty of the landscape was beautiful. We loved all the palm trees while shopping.

My wife & I visited Destin Commons & thought it was a clean, well appointed outdoor mall. The stores are varied , with a Bass Pro Shop serving as an anchor along with Belk's. There's plenty to see so take a few hours & enjoy the scenery.

Very nice outdoor shopping center with many stores. We found such cute things in a few of the shops - different price point - much more affordable than most shopping areas!!

Major stores that include Abercrombie and Fitch, Bass Pro Shops, Brighton, Southern Living, Chicks, Bath and Body, Hollister, Loft, Pandora, etc...

We loved umbrella sky for photos. We went bowling and had the best time. Then did some shopping and had ice cream. Ring bar and squishable stores were our favorite.

So beautiful with all the decorations and the festive music everywhere you turn! All the shops you can possibly think of is there!

Wonderful mall it had A rich variety of shopping choices and nice places to eat! it's conveniently located right near the beaches!

A good shopping stop. It has a variety of good shops and fun attractions. My grandson loved the train and the playground. It is a well-kept, beautiful area. The only "complaint" is that it is that a lot of teenagers were hanging out around the theatre, which is right by the playground and train. There were a few rowdy teenagers who were not considerate of the small children.

Plenty of stores to shop at.
Big movie theater
Very clean and well kept up.
Lots of parking.
Plan on doing a lot of walking.

This is a really nice open-air mall, bracketed by Bass Pro Shop and Whole Foods (which has an incredible cafe), and some great stores. Don't miss the EarthBound Store, which has really fun items. There is also a great Books-a-Million and a Williams Sonoma and much more.

Nice stores, they have a splash area for the kids. Lots of name brand stores and some boutiques. There's also restaurants throughout the shopping center.

Went here a few times because Bass Pro is here. We ate at the Brick Oven pizza place and got some ice cream at the Gulf Coast Burger place. Lots of different shops - basically it’s an outdoor mall.

This little shopping mall is the perfect size to fit everyone's needs, along with a movie theater! Belks , along with all the little shops are so convenient, along with plenty of parking all around. The place lights up at night and the perfect stroll to walk off dinner and grab dessert !!!!

Good variety of quality stores with friendly service personnel. Purchased a few Xmas items and had lunch. A must stop for shopping.

There are so many shops and so many sells. You can look thru the bass pro shop , buy jewerly, eat ice cream, and then watch a movie. This was great

Destin Commons is a favorite of ours'. It has recently been enlarged to include many more stores and restaurants. There is a huge theatre at the Commons as well as a darling train for little children to ride on and a water feature for playing in! Stores include a big book store, clothing, candy, children's clothes, and toys. Every kind of restaurant can be found. Even a family bowling alley is included in this nice outdoor mall.

Nice place to go shopping, very clean, they have some games for kid's and a little train for them to make a tour, but they could put some bench here and there for sitting,overall nice and neat place

Great shops and atmosphere. Nice selection of boutiqus and restaurants. everyone is very friendly. Great music playing in the streets.

Our family enjoyed shopping and walking around destin commons. Everyone enjoyed bass pro shops. The little kids enjoyed the play area, train, and build a bear. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

We sent the kids to a movie with grandma and we hit the shops. Stopped at a few and walked around all of them. The set up is very nice and clean.

We loved the shopping choices and the atmosphere in general. It was very clean with upbeat music playing. Fun place to shop!

I rated this an average only because the stores here are the same as the ones you find at the mall. There are an assortment of stores and the grounds are beautiful. I found a few stores that were "local" (vs a chain). You can find an AMC movie theater with some place to eat nearby, there is a huge Bass Pro shop too.

If you're looking for a great place to shop in the Destin area, go to the Destin Commons. Note, it is an all outdoors area; so, unless you'd like to be wet, don't plan this for a rainy day. The Bass Pro Shop is huge, and we love it. At Christmastime, they place a huge decorated tree in the center of the commons. It is beautiful and makes for a great meeting place. They have several shops you won't find many other places. One of these places is the ItSugar store. A fun store filled with different types of commonly know candies packaged a little differently...like a box of Nerds the size of a cereal box or a 1 lb Hershey's Kiss! Lots of fun can be found here.😉

Our family visited Destin, Florida in December for Christmas and heard some good things about the Destin Commons so we checked it out. We spent a lot of our time there I want to say almost every day, we shopped for Christmas gifts had lunch and went to the movies. I highly recommend this shopping center they have a lot of very good stores Books a million, bass pro shop. They have a store there that is like build a bear but you build your own remote control car, I bought one for my grandson my sister bought one for her son. The next day her husband went back and bought 2 more car’s, there is something for everyone.

It was just my husband and I on this trip but we've been here many times with our family. It's a go to on our travel list!l. The guys can relax while the gals shop! There's a big bass pro they can hang out at also. I love the boutiques and beach shops. There are several restaurants to choose from. It's a great place to spend the day after a morning at the beach! Be sure to visit in the evening as well. It's all lit up and such a great atmosphere! One of Destin's many many treasures. I love it here! These photos are from our trip a few years back. Great times!

Nice outdoor shopping mall. Good variety of stores plus Bass Pro is one of the anchor stores. I wanted to stop at World of Beer, but wife wanted to shop, go figure!!! Guess who won?

I loved the downtown appearance of this shopping center. It has a lot of stores. We loved the IMAX theater. Bass Pro was also a great place to shop.

Bella was wonderful and very patient. she asked about my family history and was very invested, she also gave me a variety of choices that I could choose from! She is definitely the kindest and friendliest employee I’ve had at pandora!

Again if you like shopping in the Destin area this is one of the better ones in town, they also have everything you would probably mean it all in one area with over 90+ stores and restaurants plus movie theaters on site this is a great area and the great overall shopping experience, very neat, very clean, well organized overall, we shopped at the LOFT store and it was perfect, The people in that store are so nice and helpful

My family went one night one a recent beach trip. Most of the shop workers didn't acknowledge or greet us when we entered their stores, but I guess they are used to tourist. However, it is not how I would want a business of mine run. My wife did find some stuff she liked, and me and my oldest boys returned a couple of days later and saw a movie at AMC which was nice.

Plenty of choices if the weather is nice. Otherwise just go back home. But very clean environment and some upscale shops as well as lower ends one. Something for everyone.

We always come here to destin commons several times while on vacation, we can catch a movie and eat and shop and kids can play at playground and splash pad. Don't forget bass pro shops is there to.

Destin Commons has always been a great place to shop, so it never failed that we had a great time shopping during my birthday trip. They also have restaurants; which I have tried. Also, the fish tank at Bass Pro Shop is great way to kill a little time with children.

Nice outdoor shopping area with lots of shops, restaurants and a movie theater. Go at night. It is really quite beautiful when it is all lit up.

This is a great place to take the family or spouse for all day shopping and lunch/dinner. Pretty neat being that it is an outdoor mall.

A nice clean outdoor mall with typical stores. Nice large preschool kids play area and numerous cafes in addition to anchor stores.

Prices were high, not a great selection of stores. Outdoor shopping center next door had much better prices and better selection!

This is a nice place to go & shop! My daughter and I were there during #TS Cindy so we decided to shop while waiting out the storm. There's many stores to shop at and a lot of places to eat! Easy to get in & out. The music playing outside while you walked from store to store was great!

Features all kinds of restaurants, many stores and boutiques,a playground for the kids, a little train at Christmas time and a fantastic bowling alley. There is also a terrific movie theater and Belks Department store,it as also the home Bass.

This was a great way to spend time and get out of the humidity. So many wonderful shops. And. Many choices for lunch & dinner. A very classy shopping area. I highly recommend to get your shopping on here.

Nothing really unique or one of a kind stores. Just your typical outdoor mall. Was hoping for more shops that were not the regular find anywhere store.

Destin Commons has some good shopping, but is leaning more toward chain stores. However, it is well managed and kept. The stores are neatly housed in a "street setting" and easily accessible. A nice place to spend an evening or afternoon,.

I wish we had a mall like this in Gonzales. We have Tanger Mall and the mail of Louisiana but Destin Commons has so many better options for stores than our malls. We’ve already made plans to come back to Destin just for a shopping trip at Destin Commons.

We had dinner at Fish Bowl one rainy night. Then came back to the mall when it was sunny. Nice place to walk around with a good choice of stores. Had coffee at Starbucks and ice cream at Kilwins. Did not have time to try a restaurant but plenty of options. Good places for kids as well.

Loads of shopping and food items , always well decorated as well . The outdoor setting and kids splash pad seems great for families too!

My family always enjoys Destin Commons every time that we vacation here. Lots to do here with the movie theatre, bowling alley, shops and restaurants.

Even with it being after peak tourist season, this place is busy on the weekends. Great shopping and great for hanging out...shops for everyone in your party!

First time I had ever been here shopping and it was great! Lots of stores and even some high end shopping. Loved the outdoor ped mall setup and even some fun water fountain play areas for the kids!

Nice shops, friendly people. A bit way over priced! But, lots of shops with high end trendy styles that the ladies love!! Warning guys!!!! Be prepared to "loosen up the wallet"...!! LOL Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We have had a great time every time we have visited.

This is a nice outdoor mall with lots of shops. It is a nice afternoon if you are looking for something other than the beach.

New upscale eating and shopping area. Same as a lot of other new complexes. Nice to visit. Expensive shops and restaurants.

I love the look of this place! Plenty of shops and the staff seems happy to be there! My daughter favorite shop is there Forever21! Plenty of food choices and restrooms! Lots of shops to choose from!

We like to shop at this outside mall everytime we go to Florida. Definitely will be back there on our coming trip this July.

Every time I come to Destin, this place has expanded! It's massive. The teenage girls loved the H&M, Francesca's and Forever 21. Lots to do here!

I was looking for someplace like this to walk around, shop, and enjoy! Great little shopping area! Picked up some cool jewelry!

Enjoyed the wonderful lighting & the 2 BIG christmas trees. surprised to find a crowd even on Christmas night though the shops were closed, except AMC & a pizza place near it.

Nice, safe, clean environment. Lots of variety of stores. Good prices. Spent 5 hours shopping here with my girls for school clothes and we all had a great time!

Nice little area to check out. Paula Dean's restaurant and Barnes and Nobles are two of the many stores in the complex.

We drove over to Destin commons from Sandestin for some back to school shopping. There were a lot of stores but unfortunately not a lot of good deals. We could have spent more time here though. Our daughter loved that there was a build a bear.

This is a nice outdoor mall with a wide selection of shopping choices. Several eating establishments sure to please a wide variety of tastes. They have an AMC theater and a Bass Pro. Streets and walks are well laid out to facilitate an easy and safe shopping experience. Highly recommend.

This place Is so awesome. Lots of stores,places to eat and even a Water Fountain Park. Lots of fun!!

This shopping area was absolutely beautiful and adorable! Lots of great stores, including my favorites: Brighton, Crocs, Chicos, and Shark Shop (so fun - Shark Tank stuff). We went here twice! There are also fun restaurants, a movie theater, etc. Don't miss it!

i will say this. if you like window shopping door to door then park here and roam for hours. tons of stores and little streets to venture up. can drive and park in front of the stores with paid parking or park in free in big parking lots and walk around. me, i just had a couple of places to check out so i lucked out and parked where there was time left on both meters. yeah me. so here's my opinion on these stores:
H&M store did not have a home goods section like i've seen elsewhere i was hoping for. The Croc Store was running a B1G1 half off but all i needed was one so when i mentioned if there were any coupons in the book you get at the motel, he just went and gave me 10% off so i wouldn't have to go check in the car. thanks! then we were excited about trying the Yay Beignets! place for beignets supposedly like Cafe De Monde but were closed on a Monday in November? Now, on to the Bass Pro Shop by Destin Commons not sure if part of it...I don't need sports gear but placed looked big and cool and daughter wanted to stop so in we go. I was impressed. tons of fishing gear and sporting goods galore BUT they had an upstairs too with an elevator mind you..with lots of other stuff. home goods, childrens sections, clothes with sales, old timey sort of goodies like you find at cracker barrel, and so on. big ol fish tank with some big ol fish on display. all i got though was some blueberry licorice and a big fat red floatable key chain i thought was cool. so neat to look around especially if it happens to be a rainy day :)

My wife just loves to shop here while we are in Panama City Beach. About a 40
minute drive but all of her favorite stores are here. Guys, just something you have to do as the ladies must shop!!!

Our positive experience began with a (free!) parking garage that will keep your car out of the sun's hot rays. We enjoyed the layout and the plethora of store options, ranging from upscale department to offbeat (I particularly liked Earthbound). My daughters rode an electric train in the central part of the Commons, which they loved! Definitely worth a trip. Be on the lookout for various events held here.

Several places to eat and shop. Clean family atmosphere with nice boutiques and smaller chain shops. Includes Bass Pro Shop and Belk.

This shopping center has something for everyone, but it is not cheap. It is not a shopping outlet venue. Nice layout of stores and easy to walk. Pro bass is huge and appropriate in this fishing town. Huge parking lot.

We went here for some retail theraphy since it was raining off and on. The Commons have all the stores that you will generally find. The Commons was decorated beautifully with the Christmas tree with red benches to take portraits, lights strung everywhere and other light affects.

Movies, bowling, Bass Pro Shop, restaurants, shopping in mid to high end shops, cobble stone streets, free play land and waterpark for the kids . . . a great place to enjoy a few hours or even a day.

So much more places to shop than the boardwalk. I wouldn't say there were tons of open parking spots but it didn't take us long to park and since there are so many shops we didn't feel like we were wasting shopping time just to get to a store. We ate at Smashburgers, best burger I've had, and the icecream shop around the corner. Plenty of eateries and clothing stores to choose from with quality items.

The commons are constantly expanding & adding new things. Great selection. Our kids always enjoy the splash pad. I would recommend to anyone who loves to shop!

Everytime we visit Destin we go here. There is a lot of good stores and restaurants here. Also a bass pro shops as well. Go visit the Candy store that place has everything good.

Great for a day away from the beaches. Good shops. Nicely laid out Street-like setting. Liked this shopping better than the outlet mall down the street.

My husband and I visited here in mid-November, after having dinner at Uncle Bucks Fish Bowl and Grille, located at Destin Commons. It was the perfect time to do some early Christmas shopping without the huge crowds and with so many great stores to visit. They even have a Tervis store.

It was so nice, but very chilly wandering around this outdoor mall all decked out for the holidays, with a beautiful Christmas tree already lit up for the holidays.

The variety allows shopping for everyone in your group. The splash pad is a good way to get little ones wiggles out.

We have been coming to destin commons for years. Very clean family atmosphere. Beware some stores open and close at different hours than posted. Just because the website says they are open doesn’t mean they actually are.

We wait all year to do most of our shopping at the Commons where variety and bargains abound. Some days we're shocked at what a few dollars will buy! Can't wait to go back next winter.

Destin Commons is a nice clean outdoor mall with a mix of upper and mid-level retail stores and restaurants.

I found Destin Commons to be a very nice mall with many popular shops. It is charming with the lighted streets and very easy to navigate through. There is even a kiosk for Beignets which are wonderful!

We had a great time shopping at Belks. The staff was very friendly and this is a very nice shopping center. Lots of restaurants around to eat as well.

Nice selection of shops for everyone! Liked the fact it was walker friendly! Nice to see benches around, meter money going to charities, the AMC theater, ice cream and candy shop.

This outdoor mall was very nice. Great mix of name brand stores as well as fun eclectic local places. The courtyard in the middle has a splashpad for the kids to cool off in. Very clean mall

Absolutely no service waited for 39 minutes and no one ever came to help us at the fishing section when we were buying a rod and reel and they were super rude

Destin Commons has the feel of an outlet mall with so many choices to experience. There is a Bass Pro Shop, Belk, H&M, and an AMC movie theatre. For families with young children, there is a play area in the middle of the complex. Great place to visit while in Destin.

Great shopping, splash pad and train ride for the kids (although the ride is short and costs $5 per person)... Definitely worth an afternoon of our time. The kids also enjoyed the fish at Bass Pro and hanging out in the kiddie section of the book store. The whole place was clean including restrooms.

Clean place and lots of shopping. We took the kids to see the Lion King and really enjoyed ourselves while we waited to see the show. They have a splash pad that the kids can play on.

Spent a couple hours walking the stores. They even have a Starbucks here!!! We went to the Harley Shop located here too. The lady in the store was so sweet. Had a small selection of clothes because it's a small store. We went to the Emerald Coast Harley in Ft walton and it was great too. Huge store so you have lots more to choose from. Sales girls were really sweet there too. Visit both if there, can't go wrong.

This is a great outdoor mall area with Belk and Bass Pro as anchor stores. There are lots of shopping options for children, women, and men. The AMC theatre is also located on site making this a one stop location for a true family outing. Food, fashion, and fun are staples at Destin Commons. Highly recommend as a day trip during your vacation to the gulf shore.

Outstanding products. Great Customer Service!
Will continue to purchase our products from Bell’s.
Products are delivered promptly and discreetly.

A great place to walk around and shop. A few restaurants to try too. Lots of variety and very nice. Very clean! Modern! Loved it!

We love to come here with family, friends, or even on a date night. There is always so much to see- something for everyone. Books-a-Million for the readers in our family... Bass Pro for fishing, guns, camping, and more... shopping for a daughter (to include run in with Sadie Robertson and Jamie Lynn Spears)... great movie theatre. And the convenience of food/drinks should we get thirsty or hungry :)

We needed to run into Bass Pro Shop and ended up walking around the center. It is beautiful and set up like a small village. We lived the streets and decorations, very family friendly and many shops to check out! We really enjoyed the area!

We visited the area to go and see a movie and then went to lunch. Stopped at a couple shops along the way. We even walked through water fountain area to cool off. Really good place to shop

Tried that new Food Hall in Destin Commons. It was great! All new and modern Food from the city as it says. Lot of different vendors with all kind of food. We had the pizza it was different but very good. There is chicken, tie Food, tacos, and much more.

This is one of our favorite layouts for an outdoor mall. The developer has done a tremendous job of layout and overall decor. The mall is gorgeous at night with all of the trees and buildings lit up with the accent lighting. The mall has a great selection of stores and overall is a super place to park once and walk the entire mall. There are lots of restaurant options as well. Another key feature and draw is the Bass Pro store anchoring the mall. I highly recommend you visit when in Destin.

Great selection of shops and restaurants. My only wish is that there were some shops that would have plus sized clothing.

Needing a break from beach life, a stop at the commons was a welcome break. A lot of unique shops as well as a kids water feature to cool off.

Any store you want all in one location! Great shopping area! If you have little ones that love the water be sure to pack them some swimwear, they have a small play area with water shooting up from the ground. They also have a train that will take the little ones around. The parking has toll polls but they are strictly donations so don't think you will be ticketed if your time expires!

While on vacation, we visited the Commons twice. Highlights of our visits included Frio popsicles, smallcakes, Build-A-Bear, the Southern Living store, Pink and Blue Avenue, and the splash pad. At each of these locations, the staff members were very pleasant and helpful. Additionally, the entire facility is very well organized and manicured making it a fun place just to walk around.

We came here the last day of our vacation. It was a Sunday. The stores there did not appeal to me nor my husband. However they have a great playground and water area for the little ones, which my two year old loved! By the time he was ready to leave all the restaurants were closed. So we had to take our business elsewhere. Things on Sunday start closing at 6:30 in Destin Commons.

We always visit this outdoor shopping mall when in Destin. There's a nice assortment of shops & restaurants to spend an evening exploring when you need a beach break. This trip, we visited twice & took advantage of the movie theater, as well.

I love being able to walk outside and see all the shops and attractions. The whole area, the parking lot to the stores, was clean. They have a wide variety of shops from inter/national chains to what appeared to be local shops. If you're looking for something, you can find it here. They even had a small water park for little kids to splash through and cool down. A very nice stop if you ever have the time.

Some shops and good for a walk. It looks quite interesting concept with shops around in open space but little specialties and no bargains we found… Bass Pro Shop in the middle.

This is a great place to walk around and casually peruse. It was so relaxing just to walk around, and there's something for everybody.

There are multiple stores to shop at here. We you are walking around to all the stores you feel like you are some where other than in Destin, FL.

This is a very nice shopping center with so many stores to shop at. There's build a bear and justice for the kids and many stores adults would like to shop at. There's a store for every budget.

Upscale stores, movie theater, restaurants all in an open air mall setting. All of us found somewhere to spend the afternoon

So many cute shops to see! The restaurant selection was amazing as well. We will be back when we visit Destin again!

Has such a good variety of stores. Something for everyone. Plenty of places to get something to eat or drink. If you need to do some shopping you won't be disappointed.

My family and I recently visited Destin. We went to Destin Commons and really enjoyed all the shops and restaurants. We ate at Paula Deen's Kitchen, and shopped at different stores. The kids loved the childrens' play area which was really unique and fun for them. Really young kids would enjoy it too.
Of course, we did buy different things from stores, including one unique store, Store and Story, with handmade glass mosaic lanterns from Turkey. Very reasonable prices for very beautiful items!
This is a great shopping center to spend the afternoon in. Very enjoyable, and lots of good stores.

What do visitors look for in a mall? Great restaurants, a Starbucks, good movie theater and stores to pick up items forgotten at home! Destin Commons has all these and more, like a great candy store for Candy apples and chocolate! This is a great mall right in the middle of Destin!

Great outdoor mall with some good shopping. The only thing better is the outlet mall. That's where we found some awesome deals!

Plenty of shops that you would find in your average mall. They also had AMC theater and a play area for kids. The had several restaurants, but my favorite was the food stand near the kids play area that made hand dipped corny dogs...and I tried the cajun one...GREAT!!!

I was really impressed with this outdoor shopping mall. It pretty much has all the stores you would need, including a Whole Foods next door, and a movie theater. Definitley head that way while you're here in the panhandle.

Lots of nice stores and places to eat. Parking is decent and the grounds are very well kept/clean. The fountains are beautiful. Good place to waste a few hours at.

Great little shops and loved the walkability of it. We stopped in at the beef jerky outlet and bought a ton! Thy had tons of samples and over the top customer service.

We went here strictly to see It's Sugar where there are oversized candies because of the fascination behind it. Great store with decent pricing.

Wish I had known the candy you put in a bag to weigh you CANNOT put back if you get too much. Went over what I wanted and ended up having to pay for it anyway. 18 bucks I did not want to spend.

We were able to catch a move here at the Destin Commons and decided to shop afterwards. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this place has been drastically enlarged. Wow. So many new stores have been added as well as a few new restaurants and places to eat. It's a great place to do some people watching and find a few deals. This is a great place to visit.

Very nicely layed out, almost like a small town with shops down the streets. High end shopping with some regular stores also. Movie theater is in the same area so you can catch a show them shop some more!

Had 2 teenagers, an 8 y.o., & a toddler with us. Everyone had a good time. There was something for everyone. Definitely a better experience than just walking around a normal mall. It was a hot day & not a lot of escape from the sun during the heat of the day (unless you were in a store).

Ok, so please understand that I'm a guy who doesn't visit malls very often, but had to take my wife here while we were in town. Of course I stayed in Bass Pro as long as I could while she shopped. I will say that the outdoor setting of this place was fun and very child friendly. Had a play area for kids and a little splash thing to cool them down.

After everyone in our group got a sunburn from being on the beach too long we decided to take a day to explore the mall. There were plenty of stores to explore and we found great deals on some things. While we were there went went to uncle bucks fishbowl to bowl, which I highly recommend.

We enjoyed our shopping experience at Destin Commons. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. We didn’t finish walking because there were 13 of us and we wanted to stop in every store. The sales we caught were pretty good. Teen girls loved Forever 21, younger ones loved justice and so much more. The younger kids played in the play area for awhile when we wanted to take a break. Make sure you visit when in the area.

I look around here every time I come down. Always good and useful stores. My fave this time was the Crocs store. Needed a new pair and I bought 2. Also Love Bass Pro. Keep up the good work.

I loved bass pro shop and really enjoyed watching an Imax movie. Stopped by the uncle buck's and El jalisco looking to get a snack, both were more than I wanted to spend for lunch. Somebody who likes to shop would be thrilled at this place. I had a nice walk with a little people watching.

If you love to shop or eat then Destin Commons is the perfect choice. There are many stores and restaurants including Bass Pro Shops, Victoria Secret and the Fish Bowl for dinner and bowling.

Virtual town created just to shop in. Have never seen anything like this before. Like driving in a small town but it is just a shopping center. Only problem was we got there on Black Friday. No place to park. Drove till something opened up at spot outside the shopping area.

Lots of stores at the commons, in fact you would have to get back in your car to drive to Some of the store. We also watched a movie there ( movie theater was at the same area). Very clean area. I really enjoyed the outside atmosphere.

This place was good, but Bob-E was awesome. I’ll be honest, I was not pumped about the style of eating and I voiced this to the server. He was probably the best server in the world. He made the experience. I hope everyone gets him and I hope you all tip him way too much, because it still won’t be enough.

Thanks Bob-E, please never change!!!

The Destin Commons are great to shop, they have a variety of known shops like H&M, Forever 21, Abercrombie & Fitch, Bass Pro, Victoria's Secret, Sephora etc., but also little cute stores, that are not that well known . It's nothing like a shopping mall, but a cute little village with palms and streets. In the center you can find an AMC cinema. And of course a lot of food shops and several restaurants are around, too. I like it a lot for shopping.

Took an afternoon to visit Destin Commons for lunch and a little shopping. Very nice facility. A few things to do along with a nice assortment of restaurants and retail shops. Overall a pleasant place to visit.

So many store and restaurant options! Great parking as well. These commons has anything you can think of!

This is one of the best malls I've seen in the continental US. I've lived in the area for well over a decade, and the Commons is always clean, up-scale, and classy. The mall management is very supportive of local children's charity, and our military heroes.

If you can't find what you're looking for at the Commons, you probably don't need it.

I highly recommend.

Always nice to visit, shop, and eat. Good variety of stores and restaurants. In a great location but not so crowded traffic is unmanageable.

Would highly recommend. Many nice shops and dinning choices. My wife and kids enjoyed themselves here.

Advise pacing yourself at this location at this time of year. All the stores are loaded for bear awaiting the arrival of Santa on the week-end of Nov. 19-20. There are more stores here than I want to know about..
Ample parking.

Very nice shopping area with lots of interesting stores. Only wished we would have come across it earlier in our trip. Would have been nice if stores opened before 11, people waiting outside for doors to open was a bit much.

My two grandsons, my daughter and I went into “It’s Sugar” to get some treats. The boys went to the back of the store looking around. I noticed they were laughing at something. They found candy shaped like a mans penis on the shelf in plain view. Parents beware. I asked the clerk why they would have something like that in a candy store, he said, that’s the company’s opinion to have it in the store.

There's 90+ stores and restaurants onsite - definitely a shopping destination for Destin. They offer parking for a cause for .25c for 15 minutes or $1 for an hour parking where proceeds would go to local charities.

This is a great shopping experience, has a decent variety of stores and parking is always available. They also have a kids playing area and a water fountain for kids to get into. Really nice...

Lots of shops and things to do during the holidays. Holiday time they really dress it up nice and have events in the area which makes it a perfect place to take the kids!

very nice place to walk around & enjoy the sights (we went during xmas so everything was decorated beautifully with lights). some stores have very good deals.

Plenty to see. Watch carefully for the murals. Some very quaint little shops like Deep Sea Gypsy and Destination Little Donuts shouldn’t be missed.

I accidentally got here about an hour early because I looked at a clock still on Daylight Saving Time. It was nice to just walk around. Starbucks and Destination Little Donuts were open early as well as Bass Pro.

I enjoyed my time walking and shopping.

This mall quickly became a family favorite place to go after a day on the beach. Something for everyone here. This is a very clean and new modern open air type mall. Easy parking and safe area. The younger ones loved the splash pad and the older ones loved the movie theater and Bass Pro. My friends and I loved all the great stores and just loved having a Starbucks coffee and people watching. This will be a new family favorite when visiting Destin.

This area is a must do while in Destin. Great shops, great food, and great for kids. My 5 year old daughter had an absolute blast in the play area and the splash pad. It's laid out great, you park and walk everywhere. Fantastic.

Drove down to Destin Commons today to check it out. Very nice outdoor mall with a lot of your typical mall shops. There are a few unique shops we had never seen before.
There is plenty of parking available, several places to eat and even an AMC Theatre there if you’d like to catch a movie. There is a play area for kids. If they want to play in the water there is an area that shoots up water from below where they can get wet and have some relief from the heat. Just bring their bathing suits and a beach towel.
There is a huge Bass Pro Shop there for the guys to spend some time while their significant other shops.
This is located in a heavy retail area of Destin. Across the street are several other mall shops as well. We spent about three hours there and had lunch. There’s something for everyone. I recommend this shopping mall and if you’re looking for something to do possibly on a rainy day.

We visited several shops while in the area. Our main reason for going to the shopping center was the Soma store. Great place. Sales reps were knowledgeable and able to put us with the best products.

Lots of shoppers and the atmosphere was great.

I spent an afternoon at Destin.Commons while visiting the area. It's a very large outdoor mall with a very good variety of shops and restaurants. I highly recommend going here whenever you are in the Destin area.

Visiting the Emerald coast from North Alabama, we drove here primarily looking for a Chipotle and discovered our favs SmashBurger and Which Wich right next to the Chipotle. After a full tummy, we walked over to the kids play area, initially thinking it was for tiny tots only, but both our 7 yr old and our 3 yr old had great fun for over an hour and didn't want to leave. The cubby caboose train ride was ok but a bit overpriced. As we were leaving, I discovered a Tervis tumbler store and picked up handles, lids and straws! A great way to spend the afternoon.

It is not unique to Destin not was it recommended by the concierge but it was a better trip than the outlet. Wider variety of stores decent sales decent parking and it had a movie theatre so you can ditch the guys and shop in peace

This was located right by our hotel. They have a Bass pro shops and alot of neat stores to shop in. There is Uncle Bucks Fishbowl, Paula Deen's and several other places to eat.

When the sun goes down the beach looses its appeal. Destin Commons was a great placed to spend the evening. Plenty of shopping, plenty of places to grab a bite, and a very comfortable movie theater.

Great stores in pretty surroundings. All the kinds of stores you'd expect but we didn't experience much of a crowd during the day.

We came here to watch a movie at AMC and the theater it self needs some work. It smells inside the theater and it's disgusting. We got some ice cream right outside the theater it was good. We shopped a little it was okay. The typical stores at an outlet.

Thanksgiving visit to destin.
Easy parking
AMC theater was nice
Stores were closed with the exception of Belk so no shopping took place here . Great store selection nevertheless.
Christmas decorations were up and lovely great for family photos.

Lots to choose from here...Bass Pro Shop, a dept store, plenty of specialty boutiques from name brand to local. Lots of food and a nice AMC theater. Traffics around the area though is atrocious...gotta be patient and keep in mind it's warm during the day during the summer.

This shopping area is so nice. Lots of stores and food options. Extremely clean. The splash park is SO fun for little ones. We visited just for the splash pad several times. Highly recommend!

Destin Commons represents the new epicenter of Destin. Destin has steadily moved east over the two decades; and Destin Commons location at the Mid-Bay Bridge road is unparalleled. This open-air mall recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and also opened a slew of new retailers and restaurants in a recent addition. Owned by Turnberry Associates of Aventura (Miami), whose other mall is the Miami-area megalith Aventura Mall. I have shopped at Destin Commons since it opened and love the new addition. The only downside is that there isn't hardly anywhere to get out of inclement weather when it occurs. I would imagine that Bass Pro Shop is the most popular retailer here and is one of the anchors along with Belk. There's plenty of garage and surface parking. If you park on the "main street" that runs through the center, there are parking meters, but the money goes to charity. There are several stores that share the Commons site but are detached: Lowes, Rooms-to-Go, and there is also a Whole Foods Market under construction. Even if you don't shop, Destin Commons is the place to be and has more "energy" than the other two large centers in the area. Plenty of places to eat as well as Starbucks. At one time a Hilton Garden Inn was planned to join the center, don't know if that is still happening or not. If you are a local, you can sneak across the Mid-Bay Bridge and go to Destin Commons and the other nearby centers without ever having to get on US Highway 98, which is unfortunately crowded all year long now. Destin Commons is an attraction as much as a shopping center, and it is worthy of a visit. They are open until 10pm which is nice especially in the summer.

We thoroughly enjoyed walking around Destin Commons in the early evening. It was so pleasant and so beautiful and many shops to choose from.

Nice outlet and a lot of walking for sure! All name brand store was great and clean too! Little traffic coming into the outlet but easy to get out!

I love Destin Commons shopping mall. It's an outdoor mall with lots of really really nice shops. Also has a movie theatre and a few dining places. Like this way better than the outlet mall.

Large variety of shops and restaurants, a movie theater and ample parking. Something for everyone and spaced for leisure.

I liked this area for shopping as there was all types of stores to shop at, however, things were a bit pricey and it is probably due to tourism.

Is a huge place to walk around shopping. The Bass & Pro store is huge and awesome. Movie theater was great. At night it's all lit up and gorgeous.

There is a store for anyone. We came to Destin for the beach but were pleasantly surprised with this conglomeration of stores. Many places to get lunch or dinner. Would recommend highly.

Great shopping area. Clean and easily accessible glad to see new stores being added. Friendly people and quality merchandise. Looking forward to fresh market

We enjoyed walking the Outdoor Mall. There were plenty of small local businesses mixed in with large retailers like Belk, BeBe, H & M to name a few. It was clean and safe. We definitely plan to visit again!

Lots of nice typical mall stores plus some that are unique such as the Shark Tank store featuring products from entrepreneurs that have been on the show. Upscale outdoor shopping. Very nice and laid back.

This place has so much to offer. Many stores and restaurants to choose from. All the way from Johnny rockets to Victoria secrets! Our family had a nice time just going from store to store and relaxing in a nice quant and serene setting. Very clean and maintained.

Mall was easy to find. Parking was a breeze...and it's free.
Plenty of stores to walk to. Area felt safe. Maps located throughout. Great way to let kids burn some energy. Plenty of options in the area for apparel, accessories, food, snacks, or home décor. It's all right there - one stop to keep everyone happy.

Outdoor mall, nice shops (a mix of boutique & also normal mall shops), a jerky store with samples, a hot sauce store with samples, ice cream shop, a theater, etc.. lots of restaurants, a big spray ground for kids to play in (they light up after dark), there's a little train that kids can ride around, a nice playground made out of foam like material (nice for small toddler size children), and lots of Pokémon for the older kids to catch!!! Clean, safe area to walk around and shop. Very pretty after dark because they have lights strung everywhere and wrapped around palm trees too. A must stop when in the Destin area.

Great place with shop with family of all ages. It is well lit easy to traverse and offers shopping for all ages.

Neat atmosphere and fantastic for shopping a variety of different stores. Easy accessible , you can drive through and park.

Destin Commons is a nice place to visit. Great places to shop and eat. A few of the restaurants have vegan options or healthy options. A nice place to walk around when it’s a beautiful day.

Nice well kept property with lots of stores. We enjoyed browsing all of the stores especially the art gallery. Plenty of things to do for all ages.

Great visit to Destin Commons with my wife. Had a great lunch at Paula Deen’s while there. It was a great day.

Very large outdoor shopping mall which looks like a downtown shopping district. Loved the great variety of shops including many unusual shops.

Tip: if you have the time have a look at the second shopping center across the street: much smaller, less stylish, but some interesting shops as well with lower prices

This place great shopping, movies, outdoor play for kids or great restaurants for the family. They are ever updating. Christmas is always beautifully done and the parades are great. Xmas, Mardi Gras etc.

Went to see Jason Bourne. Great movie. Couldn't get anything to drink because they had to boil water. Not good. But the sears were comfortable. The bathrooms were nasty

We visited Destin Commons on our latest trip. My daughter had received gift cards for her birthday and wanted to spend them. She found numerous stores she could shop at. We also got to eat lunch and walk around. There was even a small water play area she got to run around and play in. Nice visit overall.

We love coming here to shop!
Great activities for little ones here also. Nice outdoor play area in the courtyard, plus a train.
Shops galore! Plenty of dining to choose from.

We enjoyed shopping and walking around the commons. I’d highly recommend a stop at the Spice and Tea Exchange. Great visit.

I highly recommend swinging by the Destin Commons for shopping, food and fun. There are lots of things to do and lots of places to shop. If in Destin, it's a must!

Lights draped over the streets and wrapped around the palm trees create a magical ambience in the evening. Shopping will also be a lot cooler since it's an outdoor center only.

You'll find many of the same stores you would in any suburban mall plus some independents. There are several restaurants but no type of food court. There is a multiscreen movie theater and Uncle Bucks which is like a bowling alley in an aquarium. Take young kids to see that whether you bowl or not. They'll find it really cool.

The weather wasn't all that great so we decided to spend the day shopping. Absolutely loved this place. You think of it and its here. Loved the store selection. It was setnup nicely as well

This is a very nice outdoor mall. Many cool places to shop and great places to eat. There is a movie theater and also an outdoor play area for children, which my kids loved. There is also a neat candy with unique candy gifts if you're looking for a sugar high.

We had a great afternoon strolling around through the various stores. However we didn't find anything to buy

This mall has many stores to choose from. Many are high end fashion places but good deals can also be found.

The shopping area was much bigger than I had expected. Area was taken care of and not too busy. The nearby parking garage helped with the traffic going through. Lots of restaurants nearby to choose from.

We caught some wonderful live music. Various interesting shops with varied themes as well. Somewhat of a "Something for everyone" type location. Great place to take teens for some "space" both for them and you. Safe environment.

I highly recommend this shopping district. Have breakfast at Panera Bread or Starbucks then visit the shops when the doors open! Or after a long day at the beach, choose from a varied amount of restaurants and evening entertainment! Cleanliness and safety are priorities here too! The area is patrolled and we are lucky to have a fun, exciting and safe place for all ages to enjoy!

On a cloudy, cool Destin morning, we enjoyed walking around and shopping at Destin Commons. Found some good deals at Books a Million and the Crocs store. Enjoyed ice cream at Kilwin's (twice). Fun people watching opportunities and dining choices for families and couples. Parking was easy and accessible to stores and restaurants. Loved the fun murals for photo ops! Would definitely go again!

We stayed close by and enjoyed going over here about every morning to get coffee and then in the evening to walk around. Truly could just walked in this area if you were nearby and not even need a car. Prices in the shops were just okay nothing spectacular it did have a few sales here and there.

Destin Commons is the perfect place to do some shopping while in the area. There's lots to see and do, and it's beautiful especially at night! There is a nice area for kids to play and let energy out and lots of place to grab a bite and do some window shopping. Very nice area to take a break from the beach.

We shopped from 7-10pm on Sat, July 30, 2016. Found some fantastic deals at Maui Nix (super soft/cute flowy tops for under $20), Hollister (shorts under $15), Abercrombie (amazing $39 jeans), and Lucky (men's classic rock tees 2 for $60, beanies for $16). We noticed several stores also had "take an extra xx% off clearance" signs. If you're looking for cool, casual clothing at a good price, you will find it here! We will definitely be back. It may have had to do with the back-to-school season, but I've been here a couple of years ago and had the same luck (around Christmas). We were very happy with our visit!

There's a lot to do at this very crowded, outdoor mall. There's a movie theater, bowling (Fish Bowl), shopping, restaurants, book store, splash pad, train, and a little play area for kids. I do wish that there were more boutique stores and restaurants.

The Destin Commons is a great place to go if you're looking for some fun shopping. There are a lot of popular stores including H&M, Watch Station, Guess, Reed, and really anything you could need. I suggest going, the prices are low too!

My first visit to the Commons nice had to get some French fries and our waiter was the sweetest young man we had a very pleasant conversation . Thank you!

We didn't discover Destin Commons until the last day of our trip. There is a great store that carries ocean themed Alex and Ani that is great for a souvenir. The shops are set up like a small town. Parking by meter so be sure to bring change. There are lights strunge across the streets that make the area seem rather picturesque.

I visited Destin Commons on 10/14/19 during a vacation weekend in Fort Walton with my two adult children and my granddaughter (age 9).

The concept of this shopping center is amazing, and there are so many different stores to see. Every time we turned a corner, we found something else. We wandered around for a few hours, but that wasn’t nearly enough time to see it all. The kids spent more time at the Bass Pro Shop than anywhere else.

If we ever make it back to the area, we will most definitely return. I want to see everything and try some of the restaurants, especially Paula Deen’s.

If you’ve never been to the Commons, get over there!

On a beautiful, sunshine-filled day, this was a great place to walk around and walk in and out of the stores. Lots of dining choices and plentiful parking. Also a large AMC theatre on property. You could start here in the morning and be entertained into the evening.

Enjoyed walking around the Destin Commons Mall. Very clean and a great variety of stores. Nice to get away from the beach for a while. Loved all the shops. Will certainly come back the next time we are in Destin

I am local, we love going there for shopping.. surrounding is very clean they also have a large kids play area even for a toddler... love it!

There was nothing different or special about this outdoor mall. Seems these are in every city now. It was clean and nice, but certainly nothing new or exciting.

A great mix of shops, liked the non chain shops the best! Well kept area, felt safe, many people walking around. Free parking in the larger lots, metered parking on streets and clean public restrooms.

This is a nice outdoors shopping center, with places to sit and people watch or just relax after some good shopping. There are restaurants and plenty of stores - with Belk's department store anchoring the shopping center.

My wife and I went shopping at Destin Commons on Friday. We visited many of the shops. Had coffee at Starbucks, dessert at Kilwin’s, and afternoon tea at The Coffee & Tea Exchange. Lots to see and do here. Chose from a multitude of retail shops, gift and specialty shops, apparel shops, multiple restaurants, AMC Cinema 14 movie theaters, a kid’s mini train and even a splash pad. Some of the retail, apparel, and specialty stores include: Bass Pro Shop, Whole Foods, Abercrombie & Fitch, Southern Living, Kay Jewelers, Maui Nix Surf Shop and Build-a Bear Workshop. Restaurants include Red Brick Pizza, Gulf Coast Burger, Paula Deen’s and Uncle Buck’s. Coffee/Tea shops include: The Spice & Tea Exchange and Starbucks. We really enjoyed our time here. Clean, safe, and family friendly. Open daily; Plenty of parking.

My family and I took a break from the beach and ended up at The Commons! Although we didn't really do much shopping or dining, the atmosphere was fantastic. We walked around and saw a lot of families there. The area is beautiful and has great picture opportunities. The area was also clean and security was visible.

We were a party of 7 on this venture. Parking is a bit difficult but after parking it was fantastic. The set up was great. Made shopping very pleasant. Many top designer stores.

We had a wonderful time shopping at the candy store, Croc store, and a doll clothing store. Everything was so open and clean. Easy to navigate and friendly crowd.

Live the variety of stores. There is something for everyone. They have a spice store, beef jerky store, candy store, clothing stores, make-up and perfume stores, Starbucks, etc there is bowling and even places to dine. Great place to spend a few hours!

What a neat mall! Tons of shops,restaurants,a movie theater and activities for the whole family. Pedestrian-friendly.Lighting and landscape a feast for the eyes! Quality and selection of stores is unbeatable. A shopper's delight!!

My wife and mother-in-law hit all the local shops while I go to Bass Pro Shop, look for "guy stuff" then hit one of the local "watering holes" for a refreshing beverage.
Great for couples, singles or families - plenty of parking. Security is always visible - never any issues. Lots of neat shops.

I love the way this is setup, all outdoors in a small town like atmosphere, something for everyone. We make this a regular stop every time we come here

This is a great shopping experience for the whole family. Stores for everyone of all ages, some great deals too.

It was fun for my husband and I to just mosey through the shops. It felt like a lovely small town with lots to do. We'd like to go back again.

Chico's - fabulous, Boston Proper - fabulous, Victoria's Secret (c Mercede for assistance) - is super. Tropical Cafe - kids working, shut registers early at closing time - ugh, same experience at H&M - closed dressings rooms before closing time - if a business doesn't close until 10 then the registers and dressing rooms should stay open until 10!!!

I love this open air mall. The atmosphere is great. A lot of stores, Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Talbots, Chico, Icing. There are lots of places to eat, Panera Bread, Starbucks.

Many stores to spend an afternoon of shopping. Large selecting of ladies stores and a many specialty shop to round of a great day of shopping

Only half a mile from where we stayed. Great shopping and something for everyone. May not even pack on our next trip except essentials! H&M, Forever 21, Sephora, and Bass Pro were hits for the family!

Hey, regarding Destin Commons, how can you go wrong? Start with a couple of locations with complimentary J1772, then a local dinner selection 2nd to none regarding number of places to choose from. Top off with a movie after dinner at the fantastic movie theater which includes a "wine bar"!
Give it a try, it will be a welcome addition to your vacation.

Great for a day away from the beach when you need a break from the sun. Outdoor shopping area feels like a small town. Lots of usual shops you would see back home but also some really good deals and local flavor. Several restaurant selections. Jerky shop was fun.

What do you do on a rainy day in Destin? Go to Destin Commons. Beautiful grounds, nice stores. Kilwin's Ice Cream shop, Bass Pro Shop, Belks! We spent two hours there and could have spent more but football called!

We enjoyed the Commons. Some restaurants in the shopping center where you can eat outside. Night time was really pretty..lights lit up the place. Nice shops..my 12 yr old daughter loved H&M and Forever 21. Bass Pro is in there also. Would def return.

Excellent shopping with Belk, BassPro Shop and many other shops. Plenty of parking and very good lighting. Very clean and well kept facilities. Shopping for everyone. Great location and easily accessible.

This place is very nice, it is always clean and just a really nice place to go shopping at we always enjoy it.

Quick visit late At night! Really Nice place!! Clean and all The lights and The little streets made u feel like you arrived At a small village! Great stores! Will be back!

You will find a few less familiar or unfamiliar stores here mixed with national retail brands. A new spice store has popped up, there is a jerky store, a hot sauce store, a store inspired by Shark Tank, a surf shop, and more. Younger kids will enjoy the playground and water play area.

Wonderful outdoor shopping mall with many small specialty boutiques, restaurants and things that you do not find in the every day shopping or discount malls. Found lots of great things here. Friendly sales people here and set up very well.

There are many chain stores here and some speciality shops as well. There is also a movie theatre and a restaurant. There is a water fountain that releases water from the ground at different intervals. The kids liked trying to guess where it was going to come up next and try to touch it. There is also a mobile phone screen repair kiosk here. There is a Pandora store as well. They have some charms that are unique to Destin.

Beautiful setup and a great way to spend time. Great stores make it easy to forget you came to Destin for the Beaches.

Beautiful shopping complex ... very clean & great place to shop !!! Water fountains & small park area for kids to play!

Find anything your heart desires here. All the great stores. Granddaughter loves Blue Spero store. Sephora, Ulta, Guess, H&M, Foot Locker, Chico's, AMC movies, Samshburger, Johnny Rocket just to name a few.

Very nice, high end shopping. Great restaurants, and a nice outdoor play area for the kids. A lot of name brand shops.

We've been in Destin all week and right across the road from Destin Commons and hadn't visited...had we only known how great it was! We had dinner at El Jalisco, beignets, Kilwans peach ice cream, and great shopping. We had a great time shopping at the various stores and boutiques - local shops as well as nationally known chain stores. Loved the street front shopping!!

Super place to spend the evening browsing all the different shops and stores. Very safe friendly atmosphere. Music playing, water fountains, candy and ice cream shops! Palm trees lit up everywhere very pretty!

So the restaurants, service, shops... Everything is great here. But the best, the absolute best, my husband and I found by accident. It is the ovation dining club, which for a couple dollars more you get a lounge chair, personalized service, and a side table while you watch your movie. You can order from a menu. A menu! It blew our minds and we will be going back.

Love Destin Commons, so pretty to stroll through even if you aren't shopping. Visually pleasing spots to sit down, people watch and rest for non shoppers. Extensive variety of shops, restaurants, bowling, movies, play area for kids! It is a destination not to be missed. One of the most beautifully designed outdoor malls I have ever seen.

Party fowl bartender was very rude I had to get back to work nd couldn’t take my drink out nd they wouldn’t give me my money back plus he threw my change at me ! Never going back

Fun times for little kiddos, splash pad and small play area. Ages 1-5 perfect! Also have a little train for rides. Great shops for teens and parents.

The Commons is by far the cleanest "lifestyle center" I've encountered. There is ample free parking and metered parking along the main street. Now if only those meters were linked to an app or took Apple or Samsung Pay. There are roving security patrols ensuring you have a safe and pleasant experience. The collection of stores and restaurants are excellent. Recently, Whole Foods opened near by. The Bass Pro Shop makes for a great shopping experience and the Belk is one of that company's best stores. Great Mexican restaurant and top notch movie theater.

We got some really good deals the weekend after Black Friday. All the stores had really good, no judgement type service. There was a store with handmade soaps, smelled awesome. Was also happy to see a Abercrombie & Fitch.

Great outdoor shopping mall with plenty of stores, restaurants, and places to just relax. They have things to do for kids such as ride the kiddy train as well as a decent size play area and splash pad. They have a really nice movie theater as well. If you’re into photography or heavily into selfies, this place is beautiful at night.

Has over 85 shops stayed there for about 90 minutes to two hours to do some shopping love the bass pro shop Starbucks was fast. Loved the outdoor setting.

Destin Commons was a decent place, we had lunch there twice while on vacation..at Zoe's and World of Beer. I would say the main focus is on shopping though, a lot of the customary mid-priced to higher end shops, along with an AMC movie theater. Think of it as an outdoor shopping mall. If It were indoor and in your typical metro market it wouldn't really stand out.

I like this place. Its a good place to shop. Very crowded during the sunny and rainy days too. Recommend going here if you are staying in Destin and/or Panama City Beach

Lots of shopping to be had here! Beautiful outdoor mall. Trees and lights make it very enchanting. Plenty of parking available.

We came while killing time waiting on the beach helicopter, and enjoyed ourselves. There is a doll store my DD enjoyed looking through. There is a pandora store, crocs, pretty much anything you could want! Also, there is an extremely nice splash pad area for the kids!

This place is amazing! It is gorgeous everywhere you go in the shopping center. Awesome wishing fountain. Specialty things & stores that are hard to find everywhere else. Great eats. Imax Theater! Very fun place to stay for a day or few.

We love beef jerky, and the Beef Jerky Outlet delivers. They have so many varieties...several flavored beef jerky as well as an original smoked version, and several other types of animal jerky (alligator, wild boar, kangaroo, ostrich, buffalo, etc). Be sure to check this store out in the Destin Commons, there is something for everyone.

Great place with lots of options for shopping, but also sitting to have a coffee or dessert. We didn't have little ones, but seemed to be some nice areas for them. Parking was so easy, we were definitely surprised. Very clean.
