High Over Miami
Seeing Miami from new heights has never been easier. While driving down Biscayne Boulevard yesterday, we noticed a huge hot air balloon tethered to the Claude Pepper Fountain. Turns out the folks at SkyLift Holding have enlisted world-famous balloonist Per Lindstrand to construct a tethered helium balloon ride in Downtown Miami.
Take the Miami Beach Splashdown!
Visitors who want to take in the sights by land and water have a number of options that may or may not require a change into swimwear. In summertime, we think getting our feet wet is always a treat. Here is a quick round-up of tours around town that are sure to be a splash.
Not-So-Free Willy
If seeing the movie Free Willy didn’t traumatize you forever, there’s a chance you might see past the realty of wild sea creatures trapped in little concrete enclosures and take the whole family out to Miami Seaquarium to visit their brand new “interactive” Dolphin Harbor facility. Ten Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins have happily given up the dangers of freedom to spend time with you and your kids in a 12,000 square foot, 700,000 gallon pool.
Lucky Strike Lanes
With Monday’s opening of Lucky Strike Lanes, a new era in dining and bowling will be brought to Miami’s South Beach area. With a singularly upscale ambiance uncharacteristic of a bowling alley—vintage elements, modern décor, state of the art technology and a menu that “speaks to the inner child” (L.A. Times) — owners Steven and Gillian Foster have created America’s first truly high-end “bowling lounge.” Among its many features, Lucky Strike showcases work by up-and-coming artists projected on floor-to-ceiling high resolution video screens at the end of each lane. Along Came Mary Productions, Hollywood’s top caterer and event production company, provides an inventive menu of casual fun fare. A private room with its own six lanes is also available for parties and events.
