EXPERIENCE MIAMI BREWERIES

For the past few years, the brewery scene in Miami has become the talk of the town – with many of them becoming regular hangout spots where patrons can sip on cold suds, enjoy great eats, and participate in games and activities. 

Aside from offering some of the best craft beers in the area, oftentimes these breweries also offer free or cheap tours of the facilities. (Some may even throw in a free brew!) 

If you’re looking to become a beer connoisseur, check out our roundup of area brewery tours by clicking here.

EXPERIENCE FAIRCHILD AT A DISCOUNT

It’s August – do you know what that means? Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is offering its annual “$12 Days in August”!

This is a great deal, as admission to this Coral Gables attraction typically costs $24.95 for adults, $17.95 for seniors and $15.95 for students. (Tickets usually cost $12 for children age 6-17 and are free for those who are younger.)

So now is a great time to visit this outdoor Miami attraction, where you may stroll through the greenery and check out all sorts of collections and exhibits. For more information, click here

HONORABLE MENTION: EXPERIENCE GOURMET SCENE AT MIAMI SPICE

This isn’t a traditional pick because it can’t really be considered “cheap.” However, foodies who love a good gourmet meal know that the annual Miami Spice event offers the perfect opportunity to try restaurants you normally don’t visit.

The popular annual event, which started on Aug. 1, aims to showcase Miami’s diverse restaurant scene and world-renowned chefs.

As part of Miami Spice, the area’s top restaurants offer $28 three-course, lunch/brunch deals, and $42 dinner specials. The Miami Spice deal offers the perfect opportunity to try a gourmet meal at one of the hundreds of eateries throughout Miami. Chefs get creative preparing multiple options for each of the three courses, sometimes expanding and offering five and even seven courses.
