Plenty of parking is found under and around so whoever designed it knew what they were doing. Little known fact, there is a really nice disc golf course that needs a little work. There are no pads and no signs telling you where to go so that would be cool if they did. The course itself is a fun round to play. A couple of the holes go around the lake so beware of throwing your disc in (done it twice) Speaking of the lake, really great spot to spot salt water crocs. The lake is close enough to the sea that it gets pretty salty water. I spotted a sizable barracuda Overall, I really cool place to check out if you haven't

Dogs are allowed on leash and there is a loop that is a little over a mile, I will update the length when I go back. You can venture through a small forest area and around the lake.

The space at this estate and the grounds are beautiful and the upkeep is impeccable. I had never been here before but it is definitely picture worthy. I also hear it's a popular spot for weddings and all kind of events. You have to preregister and pay a $5 fee to attend Sunday classes. Class is about an hour and although outdoors still in a covered space. Bring your mats and water to stay hydrated. The outdoor space has a lovely view with the bay next to you. The nice breeze helps with this Miami weather. The instructor is super nice. Whether your an expert or a beginner (like me) she goes around and helps to make sure your posture and positioning is correct so that you don't hurt yourself. Her voice also makes the whole experience soothing. After just one class I'm hooked. It's the perfect way to end the weekend and have a happy Sunday funday. Join me!

Well I have to say that the owners of this particular VentureX facility have done an amazing job!…read more The facility is clean, new and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Everyone is greeted and made to feel at home which is awesome. Many different types of companies that are working here and sharing the premises like a big happy family, which is very cool. I came to visit Phillip at Gateway Media and Films here, to have him work on some video footage for me. Phillip is awesome and if you have any podcast, video or film related work you can certainly give him a call at 305-259-6022. I am sure he would I'll take great care of you and he knows what he is doing with 28+ years of experience as well. From what I can tell they have various office spaces available at this VentureX dedicated and shared which is great and very affordable if you don't need a dedicated secure office for your line of work. They have conference rooms and a very cozy shared lounge area that works great if you are visiting with clients and discussing possible business opportunities or internal business meetings. There is also a coffee station, vending machines and microwave station available in the kitchen if you would like some coffee for yourself and your customers. As a customer, Phillip and I have had some nice conversations over a free cup of coffee or a hot latte which is always great. Internet seems to be great in the facility as well, which is a hard requirement nowadays for day to day work activities. Overall, the owners are really doing a great job at this VentureX workspace facility. Hey, I like it so much I may want to open one of these businesses as well! I love the concept! Well, hope this helps and wishing you all a great day!

The landscapes were beautiful but we were excited about the animals too. The gardens close at 5:30 pm but they take the animals (donkeys, cow, goats and pig) away at 4 pm, which we didn't know. So they were being put away as we got there. The playground is nice, although not very big, my girls enjoyed it. The water park closes earlier than the rest of the gardens too. Overall a lot of the "experiences" seemed to be closed on the Sunday we visited. Not sure it was worth the drive.

I bought a groupon for group salsa lessons at A PARTY HALL. If you live in the south dade area…read morethis is a great location rather than heading up towards Bird Road for the same. It's located in a small strip mall just under the turnpike with ample and close parking. Bobby the owner was very friendly, warm and accommodating to me and my son. They begin the classes very close to the exact time and finish right on the dot. We began with Olga who was just great! She explains all the steps in detail, does a lot of repeats and watches to see how you progress. She was the perfect beginner instructor for us and we enjoyed her very much. After a few lessons with Olga, we began to learn coupled combinations that Bobby always watched for technique to move us into the group dancing. The group classes are run very well. Lots of mirrors and loud call-outs so you can keep up in the warm-up. Then they have several instructors including Bobby that teach and monitor all the dancers for the entire class. If you are interested in learning some basic salsa dancing or you want to get advanced lessons in New York style salsa, I would highly recommend A PARTY HALL. They are excellent in the beginner classes as well as challenging you to perform in the couple group dancing. I did notice the regular pricing and would still choose them without a groupon discount.

Looking back now, choosing Vista Lago was one of the best decisions we made because they made the entire process feel so easy, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end. One of the biggest highlights was having a day-of coordinator INCLUDED in the package. Since she works directly with the venue, she knew absolutely everything top to bottom -- the timeline, vendors, setup, flow of the evening, and every behind-the-scenes detail. We never had to answer questions, solve problems, or stress about what came next because she already had everything handled before we even thought about it. We truly got to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day. The staff also went above and beyond all night long. They continuously brought us hors d'oeuvres, drinks, dinner, and cake so we actually got to enjoy all the amazing food during the wedding. At the end of the night, they carefully packaged all of our leftovers and even saved the top of our cake for us before we left. Those thoughtful details meant so much to us. The venue was beautiful, the service was incredible, the pricing was fair, and there were no surprise fees or last-minute issues. Everything was transparent, organized, and handled with so much care. We felt so taken care of throughout the entire experience and are beyond grateful to the Vista Lago team for giving us such an unforgettable wedding day
