Pembroke Pines was ranked as one of Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live” for several reasons – and most of those reasons make it a great place to visit too! There’s something for all visitors: fun-loving groups, romantic dates and “me-time” solo escapes.
A step beyond ordinary parks
C.B. Smith Park packs more fun than you can fit into one day: batting cages, driving range, multiple tennis courts, squash, pickle ball, fitness facility, and picturesque trails to explore by foot or bike. Rentable pavilions with BBQ grills are reasonably priced; near the lake; and nicely spaced out, with plenty of room to house bounce houses and all the relatives.
Make a big splash at Paradise Cove Water Park, right inside C.B. Smith Park (separate fee). The Aquatics complex includes a large pool, two interactive water playgrounds, lazy river tube ride and two waterslides.
Extend your fun: the park’s campgrounds are large, clean, with RV hookups, Wi-Fi, fishing pier, laundry facilities and more.
Catch a Chill
Try something different for your group’s birthday or reunion celebration: Pines Ice Arena has convenient open public skating times with classes for first-timers to advanced.
Shop and savor
Shops at Pembroke Gardens is shopping zen: a relaxing, beautiful open-air setting with 75+ tempting boutiques and stores, plus many choices for international cuisine and sweet treats. Feel free to bring your four-legged pal: pets are welcome too.
Grab a bargain, a bite and a blockbuster at Pembroke Lakes Mall: 150+ specialty shops, California Pizza Kitchen and Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants; food court choices; and AMC 9 Theatre with those oh-so-comfy reserved recliners and on-site MacGuffins Bar.
Let’s start with local favorites like the "authentic Italian feel-good food" at Sosta Caffe or greek delights and warm smiles at Mezes Greek Taverna. At Capriccio, you’ll enjoy white tablecloths, old-school hospitality and nightly entertainment. Go retro cool at Havana 1957 or please the pickiest eater at Village Tavern. Browse 60+ taps and 300+ craft choices while watching the game or enjoying the open-air patio at Brass Tap. Dig into your fave sushi, rolls, Japanese fusion and energetic ambiance at RA Sushi.
