South Pointe Park

1 Washington Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33109

cindy w. writes: South Pointe Park is a hidden gem on the farthest tip of South Beach, it's located a block away from Joe's Stone Crabs and Nikki Beach. I just recently discovered this public park a few months ago and can't believe I hadn't found it sooner.

Deering Estate At Cutler

16701 SW 72nd Ave
Palmetto Bay, FL 33157

Nydia G. writes: Great place to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon. The mansion and surrounding garden are beautiful. Definitely worth checking out when the weathers not as hot.

I went to a wedding reception here last year and it was very cool and unique.

The Standard Hotel

40 Island Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Maria T. writes: I just came back from a facial at The Standard spa and am still in a state of bliss. I got the "resurface" facial with Kathy and everything about it was divine.

Kathy even gives a hand, arm and neck massage in between facial masks. Total cost?…

Watson Island Park

1050 Macarthur Cswy
Miami, FL 33132

cindy w. writes: Watson Island has the best scenic views of the Miami skyline for photo taking and that's why photographers are drawn here, sometimes, you can see fashion shoots or commercials taking place out here.
Watson Island is on Bisycane Bay and connects…

Haulover Park

10800 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33109

Dawn E. writes: You get your "all over" at Haulover!

There are a few things I miss about Florida... Cuban coffee... conch fritters... Haulover beach.. (to name a few).

This is the place to go on a warm summer day, okay, maybe not every warm summer day (because I am…

Lummus Park on South Beach

10th St & Ocean Dr
Miami Beach, FL 33139

cindy w. writes: Best beach to be at if you're young, beautiful, and single. Seriously.
I prefer to lay my beach towel around 8th & Ocean Dr. or around 6th, that's where you can find alot of beach umbrellas/chairs to rent. Opposite of the ocean is the infamous Ocean…

Flamingo Park

999 11th St
Miami Beach, FL 33109

Katherine M. writes: Really cool neighborhood park!

It has a public pool, fitness center, children's playground, tennis courts, stadium, track, basketball courts, baseball field, batting cages, and raquetball courts. Gotta dog? You'll love the Bark Park, two fenced…

North Shore State Recreation Area

7929 Atlantic Way
Surfside, FL 33141

JD N. writes: Imagine soothing waves lashing on Miami Beach's beautiful shore that is cast into the moon light in the darkness of the night.

Amazing right? That's a part of Miami Beach's peaceful allure.

Now, next complementary chapter. Imagine guys swinging around…

Biscayne National Park

9700 SW 328th St
Homestead, FL 33033

Maria A. writes: Fortunately for us in Miami we have two national parks Everglades and Biscayne. Biscayne is mostly underwater and so you can imagine that most of the activities have to do with water.

This is a perfect place to bring out of town guests for their…

Everglades Safari Park

26700 Tamiami Trail
Miami, FL 33194

Daniela A. writes: This airboat tour through the Everglades was the best $20 I have ever spent in my life. The hours I spent at Safari Park were some of the most fun and most meaningful in my life! I still can't believe it was so cheap!!! The 20 dollar tour includes a…

Grove Isle Hotel Yacht & Tennis Club

4 Grove Isle Dr
Miami, FL 33133

Larry C. writes: This hotel has TWO yoga decks

Get a corner room that overhangs the water. The '05' rooms are at the very corner with 270 degree views.

Its completely tucked away so transportation is sometimes and issue but security isn't. Back in the day, they had a…

Energy Fitness and Spa

1821 Purdy Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Emily A. writes: This is a fantastic gym. Kind of hard to find (it's on the second floor of the building, sandwiched between two nondescript officey-looking spaces), but once you do, you'll love it. It's owned by this lady Robin, who is apparently kind of famous and…

Crandon Park

4000 Crandon Blvd
Key Biscayne, FL 33149

Maria A. writes: Crandon Park is one of the best parks in Miami.
Bold statement right?

Well as the home of the Eco-Adventures it offers a vast array of things to do from snorkeling and kayaking to sunset cruises. Although there are several other great parks with…

Bird Bowl

9275 SW 40th St
Miami, FL 33165

JD N. writes: The only classic, old school bowling venue in Miami. The other closest old school bowling alley in Miami-Dade are in Homestead.

Being old school, you can bowl for prices lower than anywhere else in Miami.

They also have billiards, arcades, and a bar.…

Miami MetroZoo

12400 SW 152nd St
Miami, FL 33177

Ben A. writes: Ahh good ole Metro Zoo...I have been coming here since the mid 1980s as a child and it truly is a fine zoo. However on a recent visit to the zoo with my 4 year old, I realized that the Metro Zoo should probably only be open from Nov. to Feb. based…

Baby Otter Swim School

2501 Marina Bay Dr W
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33310

Christine H. writes: These people are smart. They've realized the drowning rate for kids ages 5 and under is way too high. So for the past three decades, the owners, Marlene Bloom and Mindy York, have been teaching children and their parents WATER SAFETY. They talk about…

Fuchs Park

6445 SW 81 Street
South Miami, FL 33143

JD N. writes: While this park has a playground, volleyball court, restrooms, and even a pavilion, it was really the natural area with a pond that caught my attention. The pond is just gorgeous to look at especially underneath the shade of the trees.

I had come to…

Ft. Lauderdale Beach

240 S Ft Laudrdle Bch Blvd
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33346

Will L. writes: I didn't swim. I did, however, soak my feet.

Other beach activities included
- a "what what in the butt" chant
- a human pyramid (I was the center 'stone.' I have matching knee indentations in my back to prove it.)
- a series of piggy back rides that…

L A Fitness Sports Club

5701 Sunset Drive
At Sunset Place
South Miami, FL 33143

Mario J. writes: Not bad. Especially if you avoid the busy times, which I am able to. It's not unusual to be only one of a handful of people there--if you go at the right time. During peak hours it can be pretty crowded.

My only gripe: The free-weight area can be…

Sailboards Miami

1 Rickenbacker Causeway
Miami, FL 33255

Gustavo A. L. writes: These guarantees that you will learn how to windsurf in one hour and they make it happen!! They are true experts in windsurf, kite surf and kayak. I have been sailing out of here for over 10 years now and to date my best experience is leaving my…

Matheson Hammock Park

9610 Old Cutler Rd
Miami, FL 33156

Maria A. writes: I grew up going to this park. Mom and tias packing up all the kids with enough food to feed a small army of loud children. That was back in the days of station wagons and Saturday morning cartoons. We'd always drive down Sunset passing the Bakery…

Miami Contemporary Dance

1919 Purdy Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Nicole M. writes: Love it!
This place has several different dance classes throughout the week. Highlights for me have been the Intermediate Modern($15) and Contact Improvisation($10) Satuday classes taught by Ileigh Reynolds which manage to be lots of fun, hard work,…

John U Lloyd Beach State Park

6503 N Ocean Drive
Dania, FL 33004

Dawn E. writes: This is my childhood beach. It wasn't the closest beach for use to get to, but it was the best. My mom would always drive the extra couple of miles to get here.

The park is clean and the water is warm and you feel like you're in the great outdoors…

Venetian Pool

2701 De Soto Blvd
Coral Gables, FL 33134

Andrew K. writes: The only pool on the National Register of Historic Places makes it worth seeing. Its actually really beautiful and tropical (great place for a wedding), but not as dramatic or large as Barton Springs in Austin, TX. Sorry.

Windridge Yacht Charters

19755 Turnberry Way
Miami, FL 33180

Edie H. writes: I hate boats. I mean, I really, really hate boats. But I wanted to treat my boyfriend to something special on our Miami visit, so we went on a "sunset cruise" to hear his favorite DJs play.

And guess what? I had a great time. The boat doesn't…

Gameworks Shops At Sunset Place

5701 Sunset Dr
South Miami, FL 33143

Rye G. writes: Four stars for both the restaurant and the gaming arcade.

** Restaurant **
It's a sports bar type of restaurant, so expect the usual fare, large flat screens playing games and a good selection of finger foods. The rest of the menu is pretty good, as…

Miami Seaquarium

4400 Rickenbacker Cswy
Key Biscayne, FL 33149

Shannon P. writes: Swimming with Dolphins! Yeahhhh such a great time for those who haven't -this is a must.

I went here on Christmas day and loved it. You get into a wetsuit and learn from the trainers about Dolphin behavior. They have you do some typical poses for…

Jose Marti Park

351 SW 4th St
Miami, FL 33231

JD N. writes: This park is a pretty big park, but not so big since you can probably see one end from the other. This is partly because there's not too many trees at this park. It is actually a pretty neglected park, hence a missing star.

But, then why 4 stars? Not…

F.S.B.S. Skateshop

2690 SW 28th Ln
Miami, FL 33255

Richard Q. writes: Great customer service and probably the largest selection of skateboards in Miami.

Margaret Pace Park

1745 North Bayshore Drive
Miami, FL 33132

Maria A. writes: I love the view at this park as it is right on Biscayne Bay and you can see Miami Beach and the causeways.

I've been to events here and taken yoga classes. I've seen it during the day as the quiet, tranquil park with joggers, pets, and yogis. And I've…

Thriller Miami Powerboat Tours

401 Biscayne Blvd
Miami, FL 33132

Kymm P. writes: So yes, I'm a tourist. I happen to enjoy tourist-y things when I'm on vacation!

My friends and I (from Boston) were browsing through those cheesy concierge brochures and stumbled upon an ad for Thriller Miami. I've never been on a powerboat before,…

Boucher Brothers

420 Lincoln Rd
#265
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Christina B. writes: We went jet skiing and it was great until . . . the husband tried to do donuts and flipped our ski sending us right into the water. After that I made him "cruise". But besides that it was very fun. Definitely a great adrenaline rush. Half hour ride…

Morningside Park

750 NE 55th Ter
Miami, FL 33137

Marcos R. writes: This park is great for tennis. Hardly ever any waiting and they have night tennis too. Open till 9pm on the weekdays, 8pm on the weekends.

Advantage: MARCOS

: )

Everglades Holiday Park

21940 Griffin Road
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33332

Dave H. writes: I had fun here last spring! Unsure if it's a good value, as I've nothing to compare it to, and I vaguely remember how much we paid for the airboat ride (maybe $20?). Our airboat captain (Dick) was funny, sociable, steered the boat fine, knew the…

Sawgrass Recreation Park

1006 North US Hwy 27
Weston, FL 33327

Jordan S. writes: Sawgrass Recreation Park offers an escape from the congested South Florida area though the park entrance is only 2 miles north of Fort Lauderdale suburbs. The park offers air boat tours of the Florida Everglades, as well as a free public boat ramp.…

Silver Lakes North Park

Sheridan Street & 172nd Avenue
Pembroke Pines, FL 33082

Jordan S. writes: This is a little park located on the edge of the beautiful Silver Lakes neighborhood. It contains a few ball fields and restrooms. I don't think you're supposed to launch a boat from here; but no one ever said anything, including the city…

Boomers of Dania

1700 NW 1st St
Dania, FL 33004

Kevin N. writes: Went to Boomers for a 30 going on 13 birthday party. Jordan is right, the place is a bit the worse for wear, but it was still a lot of fun. You can buy a card that gives you unlimited use of some of the attractions (the scary, rickety-looking…

Fight Club Miami

120 NE 20th St.
Miami, FL 33137

IMC S. writes: For those interested in martial arts they've also added ju jitsu.

I have been taking the capoeira classes there since April '08 and have yet to regret joining. The class is awesome, very welcoming of beginners and visitors. The professor, Esquilo…

Pelican Harbor Boat Ramp

1275 NE 79th St
Miami, FL 33138

Jordan S. writes: This is a boat ramp located right on Biscayne Bay. The fee for ramp use is $10, but sometimes an attendant is not there, and you can just roll right on in. (I think it's free no weekdays)

Great trout and tarpon fishing can be done within 1/2 mile…
