Things to do in Florida, United States: The Best Arenas & Stadiums

October 13, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Blue Wahoos Ballpark

Reviewed By 873ra - Pensacola, United States

We finally made it to a Blue Wahoos game after talking about it for the first few years we lived here... sorry it took us so long! This is a really nice ballpark... beautiful setting, right on Pensacola bay! They have a wide selection of food and drinks... wine, beer and cocktails. It was very hot, but hey, it’s Florida in July so no surprise there. We had a blast in spite of the heat. We will be regular visitors next season! It’s very family friendly, things other than watching the game for the kids if they’re not interested in the game. Can’t say enough good things about this minor league ballpark.. it’s great!

We had an absolute blast!!!! For the young, the old and in between!!! This was the best thing we have done since moving here. It would be a great during a vacation, too. We took our 13 yr old great nephew, who is with us for a month..to see the game! Wow! Wow! Wow. Not only is it on an island in a cool location,(easy in and easy out) the ppl that work there love what they do!!! They go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great time. I cannot imagine a better night for any age!!! It is worth 1000 times the price! The team is amazing! We loved the mascot, camera guys (yes you might be up on the big screen), the announcers, the ???? tunes played, the bleacher staff and even the guys at the gate...EVERYONE... was just so hospitable. The entire experience is something you will talk about for years to come. I know it is minor league, but the players, the game and the staff make it the majors. Oh and a huge heads up...check their calendars...it looks like there is always something planned. Coming up is the bud light game where parents can get a beer for a buck. I would ensure you go directly to the Tortugas site to buy tickets. They are priced the best there. Trust me, and I am as picky as they come. This, by far, is a guaranteed night of fun, excitement and a huge memory making treasure! Thank you to the Daytona Tortugas for such an amazing time! We will see you again very soon!

American Airlines Arena

A modern architectural marvel where the NBA's Miami Heat play.

Reviewed By Obi1234 - Pembroke Pines, United States

Still one of my favorite basketball venues. Maybe I just love the heat. But I always find parking within 10 mins walking distance for cheap and the amenities are great with both drinks and food available. The atmosphere is fun and definitely gets you in the mood for a great game or concert. Worth the trip even for poor seats.

Reviewed By ricksI3142GH - Belleville, United States

We were on vacation from southeast Michigan and wanted to see the improvements to the stadium and see a game. I ordered tickets day of the game and got great seats behind home plate. The stadium looks fantastic, the BEST in Florida. Parking was free....amazing! It happened to be "dollar dog" night and a large souvenir cup of soda for $5.00 and $2.00 refills, the best value of any ball park I have visited. The staff are the friendliest, can't wait to go back!!! THANK YOU!

I am a big spring training fan and over the years have seen many a Twins game and several Miracle games here and have never been disappointed. Extremely friendly staff and very good ballpark food options. I have attended other events here like a cornhole tournament and had a great time for that too.

Reviewed By rdunc221 - DuQuoin, United States

This was about my 12th visit to Cardinals spring training. The Roger Dean Stadium and St. Louis Cardinals staff members always make my visits there fun and memorable. Also, I’m big-time into the baseball experience. It’s educational and interesting to watch the major league and rookie camps practice. The stadium offers excellent viewing conditions. I always enjoy my trips there.

Reviewed By Expedition779126

We visit as much as we can, to watch the NY Mets in spring training and the Saint Lucie Mets when they are at home, as we live within walking distance of the stadium. We can’t wait to see what new features that have been added to the stadium when spring training arrives. We love being Silver Sluggers and seeing new talent as they get groomed for the big show.
