Aventura Mall
Aventura Mall is a destination in itself for families. The Aventura Slide Tower, a free 93-foot spiraling slide designed by artist Carsten Holler, is open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (50" height requirement). Inside the mall, the Rainbow Valley Playground is a free artist-designed indoor play area for toddlers under 42" tall, created by FriendsWithYou. Outside, Gorillas in the Mist combines an art installation with a splash fountain where kids can run through water spraying from bronze gorillas. The mall also hosts storytime sessions, Disney Store events, and LEGO building workshops.
