Bayside Marketplace is an open-air shopping center located downtown along Biscayne Bay with a wide variety of shops and entertainment venues. Unlike most malls, there's more of a focus on entertainment and bars rather than just stores, so it's more of a nightlife attraction.
Given the prevalence of live music, bars, and an open-container policy, this shopping center is catered primarily toward adults. Even so, you'll find some family events during the day, as well as stores kids can enjoy. Most people spend about 2 or 3 hours here, but your visit could take longer depending on what you want to experience.
