Top 5 Date Spots in Three Lakes

1) Bask in pretty skies, pastel hues, and a soft filtered sunrise as you wander Deerwood Bonita Lakes Park

14445 SW 122nd Ave, Miami, FL 33186

Start your romance before the city wakes by meeting in the calm of early morning, cup of coffee in hand, at Deerwood Bonita Lakes Park, a local park offering lush fields, shady paths, and open walkways that make it a natural stage for a slow, peaceful day.

Ease into your date with a walk past the baseball field and basketball courts, where the world still feels half-asleep, and the sun is only starting to warm the grass. 

The benches tucked under the trees give you a spot to pause, talk, or sip your coffee as the light slowly spreads across the open landscape.

As you wander through the Deerwood Bonita Lakes Park's long stretches of grass and palm-lined edges, you'll notice how the sunrise settles into the scenery — soft, golden, and surprisingly intimate; a tree-filtered glow that adds an effortless charm to your morning, turning even the simplest movements into something memorable and cinematic.

Find a corner to sit for a while, let the breeze settle around you, and enjoy a date that's gentle, mood-lifting, and naturally romantic. 

Indeed, sometimes, all you need is a view of the sunrise and good company to commence what would be a series of superb moments ahead.

2) Devour a casual, tropical-chic lunch at Pilón Miami

Invite your date to a casual lunch-out with a tropical-chic twist at Pilón Miami, a modern Cuban-influenced café along SW 128th Street.

Blending a clean, minimalist design with a splash of island personality, Pilón Miami is easy on the eyes and a treat for your taste buds as it features classic Cuban dishes with a dash of contemporary flair, like juicy steaks, crispy tostones, arepas stacked with flavor, and all the other Cuban-inspired flavors of comfort.

They also make a solid cup of coffee, so if you're looking for something to sip on while you wait, feel free to check out the options.

Once your food's on the way, you can shift into date mode instantly, thanks to its gorgeous indoor setting — the hanging greenery softens the space from above, warm lights set a relaxed tone, and tropical wall art adds color without being overwhelming. 

It's stylish, mellow, and comfortable enough to stay longer than planned.

This is your sun-kissed version of the usual lunch date — this is Pilón Miami.

3) Walk on the wild side with a safari adventure for two at Zoo Miami

12400 SW 152nd St, Miami, FL 33177

Take your date off the vanilla path and onto Miami's wild side at Zoo Miami, just 10 minutes from Three Lakes.

Offering animals, trails, and an expansive natural scenery as a backdrop for your all-day adventure, this 750-acre, world-renowned facility features diverse exhibits and the unique distinction of being the only subtropical zoo in the continental United States.

And you can confidently say they've earned it!

Zoo Miami's open-air habitats recreate regions such as the Everglades, the Amazon, Africa, Asia, and Australia, giving you an easy, natural flow from one area to the next.

Inside, you'll encounter more than 2,500 animals — koalas, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, and tigers, including the striking White Bengal Tiger. 

Don't worry; the wide pathways and shaded trails will make the walk comfortable, with moated landscapes and lush greenery shaping each exhibit. 

There's also an aviary that adds a refreshing change of pace, while the adjacent Gold Coast Railroad Museum offers vintage railcars and memorabilia for an extra detour.

Here you can keep the day engaging without forcing conversation, since you're constantly moving, discovering new animals, and sharing reactions — all of which help the day flow naturally.
