Never travel the same route twice at X-treme Rock Climbing. The gym's nationally certified route setters rework the arrangement of its foot- and handholds all the time, so there's always a new adventure to be had at the 14,000-square-foot rock climbing gym. With overhangs and roofs for the more seasoned climbers to attempt, as well as easier routes for the less experienced, climbers of all abilities can embark on a fun workout at X-treme.

The climbing walls aren't the only spot to work out, either. X-treme also boasts a full gym, including a recently added yoga studio. So if you don't feel like harnessing up and going for a climb, maybe you'll want to attend a relaxing yoga class with one of X-treme's highly trained instructors. The gym also has Wi-Fi for those who are just coming to observe a friend.

We hope everyone enjoys a fun and relaxing time with family and friends as we celebrate America's freedom.

Most local parks can't boast an annual guest list that exceeds a million people, but Tropical Park can. The breathtaking Miami park attracts about 1.5 million people every year, to be more precise. Some of that foot traffic can probably be attributed to the Miami International Agriculture and Cattle Show, which is held at Tropical Park's Ronald Reagan Equestrian Center each year. Still more may be due to the Southwest Community Farmers Market unfolding at Tropical Park each weekend. Even without these special events, though, chances are the space would still draw a crowd.

That's because it's so rich in natural beauty. Dip your toes in the pristine lake, the water so clear that it looks more like a tropical ocean than an oversized pond. Explore and appreciate the colorful mosaics throughout the park, including a tiled mural on the wall of the racquetball courts. Or just claim a patch of grass and enjoy a picnic beside the lake, possible with a pooch worn out from his time at the dog park.
