"Option #2 – Miami Beach Botanical Garden
This lovely oasis in the heart of South Beach showcases a variety of tropical blooms. Special events such as concerts, art exhibits and a green market take place at Miami Beach Botanical Garden throughout the year. Come see collections of orchids, palms, bromeliads, flowering trees and the lovely Japanese Garden."
"A fun and totally FREE activity to do while visiting Miami Beach is the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Here you’ll find all the lush tropical vibes that will make you feel like you stepped right into a jungle. And of course you’ll find all sorts of instagrammable corners!"
"If you need to escape Miami’s madness, consider a green day in one of the country’s largest tropical botanical gardens. A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."

"Call it like it is—this was one of the first donut shops to break the mold of the typical glazed donuts in South Florida. Mojo Donuts opened in Pembroke Pines in 2013, just as the donut trend was sweeping the nation, and their large-and-in-charge gourmet donuts stuffed with anything you can think of quickly grabbed attention. (People would often drive from as far away as the Florida Keys to get their hands on the donuts.) With two locations in Miami’s Westchester area and Pembroke Pines, along with a food truck at The Wharf, Mojo offers yeast and cake doughnuts in a dizzying array of choices, which means you’ll want a box to sample them all."
"With locations in both Miami and Pembroke Pines, Mojo offers the perfect pairing in two area codes and aren’t we lucky. This award-winning shop regularly sells out and it’s no wonder; each doughnut here is its own extravagant work of art. A a dozen of their gourmet doughnuts will put you back $27, but it’s worth every penny."
"Walk off your breakfast at the Aventura Mall, a beautiful locale with top brands like Chanel, Fendi and Givenchy, as well as mall staples like Zara and Anthropologie.
For those of you who want a little more variety (or for those that don't like shopping), you can stop at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, where there is something for everyone. Guests have the option to enjoy the casino, horse racing, live entertainment and more."
