Grab a bite at one of a multitude of restaurants, including Bubba Gump's Shrimp, Hard Rock Cafe, Chicken Connection, and Chili's.
Shopping is also plentiful here, with kid standards The Gap, The Disney Store, Kid's Foot Locker, and Toy Zone featuring Sanrio "Hello Kitty" items.
If you're looking for further distractions for an afternoon, climb aboard an Island Queen Cruise and see Miami from the Bay.
The Marina Stage has live music, often with a Latin flare, playing every afternoon and evening.
Bayside also has a carousel, kiddie train, a bungee jump amusement, and an adventure simulator capsule that imitates the experience of walking on the moon, flying a fighter jet or going on a roller coaster.
tips:
Avoid driving here before or immediately after an arena event - it's a bit of a nightmare!
