Sawgrass Mills: hours, how to get there from Miami, the Colonnade and what it costs
Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise: mall hours, the luxury Colonnade, the buses and private transfers from Miami, parking and the 7% Broward sales tax.
Kurz gesagt

- Hours: Monday to Saturday 10 am to 9 pm, Sunday 11 am to 8 pm.
- Where: 12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise; it is in Broward County, not Miami-Dade.

What Sawgrass Mills is
Sawgrass Mills is a Simon property at 12801 W Sunrise Boulevard in Sunrise, Florida. Simon calls it the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in the United States, with more than 350 stores. It is a Broward County mall, roughly between Fort Lauderdale and the Everglades, and people searching for outlets in Miami usually end up here or at Dolphin Mall.
It has two personalities. The main enclosed mall is outlet and value retail: brand outlets, off-price stores and a Super Target. The Colonnade Outlets is the open-air luxury section, and it is the reason many visitors make the drive.
Getting there from Miami
| Option | What Simon's pages say | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Drive | Open-access parking around the mall, with two garages: between Super Target and Burlington, and near the Colonnade Outlets | You are driving through Broward traffic both ways |
| Private transfer | Simon's travel page lists private operators for transfers from Greater Miami and Miami Beach, such as Distinction Travel, Shuttle D'Luxe and American Limo & Transportation Service | Prices are set by each operator; ask for a round-trip quote |
| 595 Express bus (Route 110) | Weekday peak-hour express between Downtown Miami/Brickell and the Amerant Bank Arena, across from the mall | Built for commuters, weekdays only; check the Broward County Transit timetable |
| Train plus bus | Tri-Rail to its Fort Lauderdale station, then Broward County Transit Route 22; BCT routes 22, 23, 36 and 72 serve the mall | Several transfers; plan most of a morning for the trip |
| Tour shuttles | Sold by third-party tour sellers, not by the mall | Check pickup areas and price with the seller before you book |
We did not find a shuttle run by Simon itself from Miami. Hotel pickups on reseller sites vary by area.

The Colonnade versus the main mall
The Colonnade Outlets is where the luxury labels are, and Simon counts more than 70 outlets there that you will not find elsewhere in South Florida. If your list is Prada, Gucci or Burberry, go there first while stock is fresh and the parking garage by the Colonnade still has room.
The main mall is bigger and louder. Simon lists Nike and Ralph Lauren outlets alongside Saks OFF 5TH, Target and Marshalls. Store lineups change, so search the Simon directory for any single brand before you build a trip around it.
