Dining at Dania Pointe

Dania Pointe has so many great dining options no matter how long you plan to stick around. If you are just looking for a quick bite and a drink, swing by Firebirds Grill or Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar. If you are looking to satisfy a craving, grab some tacos and margaritas at CT Cantina & Taqueria. And then, last but not least for dinner, indulge at either or Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurants or Rodizio Grill. They are both fun places for a nice dinner with the whole family.

Treat Yourself

For me, when I am on a long layover, one of the easiest ways to unwind is to get a mani/pedi! There’s is a beautiful nail salon right inside Dania Pointe and they are amazing! I got the best nail art I’ve ever gotten and felt absolutely luxuriated when I went to Tipsy Salonbar.

Go shopping

Dania Pointe has so many great stores to pick up the cutest styles for your trip. Must shops are Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and Aerie

Watch a movie

If you are the type of person that just likes to kick your feet up and watch a movie in between flights, don’t miss Regal Dania Pointe. See the latest blockbusters and relax in their luxurious Italian leather seats with some popcorn. Upgrade your movie experience with state-of-the-art viewing features including 4DX, ScreenX, RPX, and VIP.

Go bowling

I don’t know about you, but bowling is always a great time! Head over to Bowlero to play a few strings, grab some drinks and maybe play some of the arcade games as well. This is a fun place to bring the whole family as you can pre-book your lane so you can get straight to the strikes! If you are just in town for a few hours during a layover, going bowling is not only a great way to spend the time, but is also a great way to stretch your legs after or before a long flight!

Where to Stay

Finally, if you have an overnight stop, or are looking for a central location in the Fort Lauderdale / Miami area, check into the AC Fort Lauderdale and get a good night’s rest in this brand-new hotel that is just minutes from the airport.

The best part is that the hotel offers a free shuttle from the airport, so when you get off the plane, you don’t have to worry about Ubers or rental cars, just hop in the courtesy shuttle and you could be swimming in the hotel’s beautiful rooftop pool in no time! Enjoy a tasty breakfast in the morning and then afterwards take a stroll through Dania Pointe to check out the many murals throughout the shopping center before checking out all the other fun things to do in the neighborhood!
