Top 5 Shopping Spots Near Horse Country

1) Kendall Village Center

8659 SW 124th Ave., Miami, FL 33183

Nestled where Kendall Drive meets the Turnpike is Kendall Village Center, a retail pocket framed by swaying palms and open plazas that draws families, gym-goers, and movie buffs all in the span of a single day.

Across its 267,000 square feet, you'll run into a mix of crowd-pleasers, from Old Navy and Gap to Claire's, Jared, LA Fitness, and the ever-classic Chuck E. Cheese, with local shops and casual dining spots sprinkled throughout.

What makes Kendall Village Center stand out isn't size or shop selection (although what it has is not pretty bad for a suburban strip mall), but that you don't have to rush, weave through endless hallways, or feel overwhelmed by crowds. 

At Kendall Village Center, shopping actually feels like a breather.

And once you've crossed off your list, it has a built-in finale: the on-site Regal Cinemas, ready to turn your errand run into a full-on day out with the latest flick!
