Visit this upmarket plaza for exclusive shopping, exquisite dining and a sprinkling of art and culture.
Smack bang in the centre of gorgeous Boca Raton, Mizner Park is an upmarket shopping and dining development with a sophisticated range of unique boutiques and exquisite eateries. This is a chic little hideaway with tinkling fountains and luscious palm trees dotted about the pretty polished paths. The glossy variety of deluxe emporiums adds to the sense that this is more than your average shopping centre. This is an extravagant shopping "experience".The stylish Plaza Real forms the main thoroughfare and is flanked with no less than 45 high-end shops selling a range of items from designer goods and plush homeware to iridescent jewellery. Happily, all shops are conveniently close, which is good news for those browsing in the hot Florida sun.Foodies will be in gourmet heaven with the diversity of eateries serving delectable delights. Dine in or grab something to eat from one of the artisan food shops and simply stroll around.If you’re keeping an eye on your pocket and this sounds like a budget-busting destination, fear not. You can still enjoy many of the sights and sounds of this lovely part of the city. As always in south Florida, people-watching is a pleasant pursuit. Treat yourself to a delicious homemade ice-cream and make your way to the outdoor area in front of the Mizner Park Amphitheatre. This is home to the Centre for the Arts, which presents weekly outdoor concerts, recitals and symphonies. A great spot to watch the bold and the beautiful strut their stuff while you soak up the laid-back atmosphere and cool ocean breeze.From here, head into the Boca Raton Museum of Art which houses an eclectic and diverse collection of painting, sculpture and artwork. The West African Tribal Art and Oceanic Art exhibition is a permanent fixture featuring over 300 artefacts from sub-Saharan Africa, while the European masters are well represented with paintings from Picasso, Degas and Matisse adorning the walls. Children starting to twitch? Bribe them with a film in the plush surrounds of the nearby iPic cinema and they will be eating out of your hand.
