Any good suggestion for good low cost activities in South Floriday for children aged 2-9. We have some days planned but are trying to have some lighter days with free or low cost activities. We already know about Sugar Sand Park in Boca. Any other similar good free places in the area?

Two best cocktails at Fuego?

I was shabbos in the Rare restaurant.
Guys, I don't know where to start especially I'm not that of a big complainer and usually I'm the one that's not that picky eater either.
The Food was horrible (understatement)
Challah. The challos was exactly like they serve for shalos seides in the big Satmar Beis Medrish (commercial) and extremely small.
Fish. Fish was not served, there was a buffet style fish tray. There was a mountain of small pieces of salmon that looked like leftovers from a day before, but the manager called it fish nuggets, so now it's not gross anymore cause it has a name to it. The Cherin was inedible tasted like feet. Gefilte I don't eat so don't know, but gefilte there was plenty.
Eggs. Wow never knew eggs could be that bad, I mean common, why does it have to taste horrid? Can't it just be chopped with some onions and salt?
Chopped liver. Literally taste like the sand from the nearby beach. Very dark and no taste to it at all.
Chulent plate. Chulent was disgusting it was cold and had no meat inside, the chicken cutlet tasted like rubber and the small pastrami was cold and soaked in mustard.
For dessert we were served a choice of either soggy fruits or a cake that was 99% mousse.
Luckily for them I wasn't able to take pics as it was shabbos. Over all it was a awful experience, the managers attitude was terrible, when people came over to complain. When an elderly lady said her table is too small he said that's because we don't want you to put to many dishes on the table with a grin on his face. When a lady complained about a salad not having enough tomatoes he started shouting out loud how expensive tomatoes are in Florida.
We left the table and went to our hotel room and ate potato chips and mentos.
Is that why I paid a hefty 70 bucks per person? Highway robbery.
I would love to dispute (second time in my life)  the over priced charge.

P.S. The salad bar was very good, big selection of fresh vegetables and petty good dressings.

Sorry for having a laugh out of your pain, but I LOVE your graphic descriptions of each and every food item :-)

They charge more than all the other places, because they are located in tower 41, and believe they can get away with anything. There is really no excuse that you should walk away from a $140 Shabbos meal for 2 people and be hungry after being served cold food.
You would think they would be able to afford 1 normal size challah per table for $140 (or $180 at night)..
Can anyone else chime in with their experiences with Rare on Shabbos or any of the other places in the area like the Days Inn, and at the Eden Rock.

Random question. Is anyone else canceling their trip to Miami this weekend due to rain most of the weekend?

Never trust Miami forecast. The only time the weathermen get it right is if they're standing outside, looking at the sky, and telling you what the weather is at that second.
