Top 5 Things To Do in West Kendall

 Wander through West Kendall's peaceful streets, where sunlit parks and lush spaces invite families to unwind, and a tapestry of activities - from serene nature trails to lively community gatherings - captures South Florida's natural beauty and spirited essence, promising a tranquil yet vibrant suburban escape filled with the warmth of the Sunshine State. 

Venture into the western reaches of Kendall to uncover the distinct charm of West Kendall, a family-oriented suburb a short drive from the Everglades and Miami's dynamic urban scene.  

Often overlooked in favor of Miami's more renowned neighborhoods, like Miami Beach and Brickell, West Kendall shines with its inviting parks, secluded green spaces, eclectic dining scene, and a strong sense of community.

Simply put, it's where calm meets connectivity, arming you with the perfect balance of serene suburbia and natural splendor! 

So, if you're ready to see a different side of Magic City, look no further than West Kendall. 

 You'll be glad you did! 

 Here are the top five things you can do while you're here: 

 (1) 

Food lovers, this one's for you!

Thanks to its prime location within Kendall, West Kendall shares its vast dining options, with several of its own restaurants and eateries leading the pack!

In fact, West Kendall caters to a variety of tastes and preferences, especially if you're in the mood for something authentically Cuban, fresh seafood, or even hard-to-find international flavors —  crave a Cuban, Peruvian, and Korean fusion, anyone?

Think homegrown eats, trendy hotspots, household names, and fine dining establishments — whatever you're craving, you're having, whether you feel like dining in or having it delivered to your doorstep!

Who ever thought a suburb could have so many options?

Plus, if you don't find what you're craving, it'll only take a quick walk to the bus stop to the next neighborhood — how convenient is that?

Well, what do you know — it looks like you've found your next food-tripping destination!

While West Kendall's shopping options mostly comprise strip malls, shopping centers, and straight-forward plazas with a mix of retail stores, grocery shops, and specialty boutiques, you won't find yourself at a loss when it comes to a good 'ole retail therapy.

In fact, you might even be overwhelmed with all the options!

And why is that you ask?

Much like its dining scene, West Kendall enjoys access to Kendall's lineup of massive shopping malls and retail destinations, like  The Palms at Town & Country , a beloved open-air shopping center offering well-known retail stores, dining options, and entertainment venues.

There's also  The Falls , another bustling open-air shopping mall and one of the largest in the country, boasting a wide variety of retail stores, delicious eats, and fun activities!

And don't worry; if you don't feel like going on a quick commute, you'll find several much smaller malls within West Kendall that are perfect for daily errands and a quick shopping sesh, like  Miller Square Shopping Center   and  West Kendall Plaza  ! 

Are you ready for a spending bender?

Here's the thing — shopping may not be one of West Kendall's strongest suits, but when it comes to nature and recreation, it takes the cake — and the icing, too!

In fact, you'll be happy to know that West Kendall is your gateway to a treasure trove of famous and lesser-known parks and preserves, from Kendall Indian Hammocks Park to local favorites like  West Kendall District Park ,  Wild Lime Park,  and Kings Meadow Park ! 

 Kendall Indian Hammocks Park  is a 175-acre park known for its rich natural resources, including a natural forest community and archaeological sites, and is part of Miami's most-visited green spaces.

Meanwhile,  West Kendall District Park  is a local go-to for its lush greenery, nature trails, disc golf courses, and shaded picnic spots, and is considered one of West Kendall's pride and joy.

The last two,  Wild Lime Park   and  Kings Meadow  , are two smaller community parks that attract those who want more serene nature walks and peaceful picnics within West Kendall.

So, if you ever feel like disconnecting from the outside world (or at least the city's chaos), feel free to give these parks a peak and drown yourself in sheer relaxation and bliss!

 (4) 

Being a primarily residential area, you won't find many tourist destinations within West Kendall, though the same can't be said around it!

In fact, once you step outside its perimeter, you'll be welcomed by a massive collection of famous South Florida attractions, all just moments away!

We're talking activity hotspots like  Zoo Miami  , the   Everglades National Park  , and the   Gold Coast Railroad Museum  — and mind you, they're just the tip of the iceberg!

Aside from being close to these tourist spots, West Kendall boasts a pretty awesome public transportation system, so even if your preferred destination ISN'T near West Kendall, the commute will be hassle-free!

So, don't put your safari hat back in the closet just yet — you've still got tons of exploring to do!

 (5) 

Unlike most suburban communities, West Kendall doesn't scrimp on nightlife spots, especially if you're planning a beer night with your buddies!

Of course, one shouldn't expect an all-nighter, but still, a laid-back but enjoyable party scene beats having none at all, right?

So, if you feel like knocking back a bottle or two (or five, but who's counting?), visit local microbreweries like  Lincoln's Beard Brewing Co. , which offers an array of craft brews like IPAs, stouts, lagers, and seasonal specialties, plus trivia nights, live music, a rotating selection of food trucks, and regular themed parties and festivals!

But if you're not a night owl and prefer to have your fun sans the alcohol, don't fret!

 Kendall Ice Arena  offers a more G-rated environment where you can hone your ice-skating skills while bonding with friends and family — including the little ones!
