Top 5 Instagrammable Places in Medley

1) La Fontana Italian Restaurant & Pizzería

10702 NW 74th St, Medley, FL 33178

Bridge your carbonara dreams with your meticulous Insta-approved aesthetic at La Fontana Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, a cozy corner of Rome in the heart of Medley.

Step inside and you'll find a cozy, warmly lit dining room decked with rustic wood, hanging plants, and twinkling lights, perfect for flat-lay pasta shots or moody wine glints—a distinct vibe that's upscale yet unpretentious, made even better with a menu built on comfort, quality, and family history.

Speaking of La Fontana's menu, expect blockbuster hits like creamy lasagna, truffle-topped risotto, and their signature pepperoni-hot-honey pie alongside their famous lunch specials and cheekily named "All You Can Slice" nights (Mondays and Tuesdays, $19.99 per person), which draws pizz lovers and content creators alike—because who doesn't love a shot of their fifth slice with a DJ playing behind them?

While you're at it, choose a cocktail from their star-studded selection—it'll be the perfect pair to your hearty plate!

Pro Insta-tips: Opt for a table under the vine-draped archways or near the emerald-green banquettes. 

Turn off flash, go for natural light, and capture those pizza shots before that melty cheese disappears into happy mouths. 

You're welcome.

2) Medley's River Yard - Food Truck Park

10791 NW South River Dr, Medley, FL 33178

Give your taco binge an Instagram-approved upgrade at Medley's River Yard, a food-truck-meets-riverfront oasis in the heart of Medley.

A popular hangout spot for foodies, Instagram fiends, and those who want breathtaking sunset selfies, this vibrant outdoor hangout blends palm-shaded tables, neon signage, and riverside views with a rotating cast of eats-on-wheels.

Think string lights overhead, palm fronds swaying, trucks serving Cuban sandwiches at Mi Rancherito Cafetero, tacos from La Diosa, sushi rolls at Marco Sushito, and BBQ from Brasas, all under one sky.

On weekends and evenings, Medley's River Yard pulses with live music, hookah nights, themed fiestas like Carnaval de Barranquilla, and even happy hour thrown at sunset on the bar patio, so you can grab a taco in one hand and a neon-lit cocktail in the other—here, every dish and drink is begging for a frame-worthy moment.

It's dog-friendly, camera-ready, and one of the best spots where "dinner in Medley" doesn't sound, look, or feel like a work thing.

3) K1 Speed Miami 

8600 NW South River Dr, Medley, FL 33166

Challenge your workmates to a go-kart race worth a spot on your socials at K1 Speed Miami, an indoor adrenaline playground built for playful competition (and Instagram Reels bragging)!

Known for its two professionally designed tracks, K1 Speed Miami is where you can zip through clean lanes and sharp turns in European-import electric karts—fair that can hit nearly 45 mph, all fair, fast, and vape-free!

But go-kart racing isn't the only activity waiting for you at this shindig!

K1 Speed Miami is also part upscale lounge and arcade, so you can drop by their Paddock Lounge for sliders, wings, nachos, funnel cake fries, and craft brews, and visit their video game pit and pool table area right after!

And did we mention they have race displays peppered across the area, too?

Yes, peeps, K1 Speed Miami delivers a turbocharged blend of thrills, neon lighting, and unexpected photo backdrops that your feed (and your schedule) desperately needs!

4) Downtown Doral Park

8395 NW 53rd St, Doral, FL 33166

Need a breather after darting between warehouses, food trucks, and that one rogue semi that almost rear-ended you on NW 74th? Hit pause at what's possibly the most photogenic reset button in the area, Downtown Doral Park, just 6 minutes from Medley.

Three acres of landscaped calm, Downtown Doral Park comes with a tree-lined walking loop, kids' playground, picnic benches, and a unique artsy flair to make your camera work overtime. 

The star of the scene? A stone sculpture named Micco, standing tall and mysterious at the core, acts like a prehistoric guardian with a contemporary charm.

Micco is the brainchild of acclaimed artist Michele Oka Doner, whose work graces museums from New York to Miami—but you don't need a ticket or white gloves to appreciate this one. 

Walk up, snap a pic, and if you're lucky enough to swing by after dark, you'll catch its evening transformation: illuminated in shifting colors with an ambient soundscape that makes the whole park feel like it's auditioning for Art Basel.

Bring the family, bring your camera, and bring your best "caught-being-serene" face—this park's got range.

5) Garden of the Arts

1850 W 76th St, Hialeah, FL 33014

Imagine strolling through a tropical sanctuary where the trees throw shade and the walls throw color—welcome to Garden of the Arts, a local park ready to upgrade your grid with murals, sculptures, and sunshine, just 7 minutes from Medley.

Tucked in the heart of Hialeah, this not-so-hidden gem feels like an open-air museum on vacation with South Florida's lush greenery lining its every walkway, but instead of just palms and benches, you'll find large-scale murals and installations by local artists turning every corner into a photo moment.

Garden of the Arts spans several walkable paths, with paved trails guiding you past flowering bushes, vibrant art panels, and a sculpture garden that's as dramatic as your favorite filter. 

There's even a small amphitheater and stage on site for community shows and cultural events, making it one of the few places where you can picnic, pose, and catch a performance without ever leaving the grass.

And here's the kicker: it's free. 

Zero tickets. Zero hassle. 

Just art, greenery, and as many angles as your camera roll can handle.
