Soak in the vibrant energy of sun-drenched parks, action-packed arenas, and endless moments of thrills and stills as you plan the ultimate South Florida experience in Sunrise, one of Florida's most progressive incorporated municipalities.  

Known for its unwavering dedication to sustainability, development, and its history, Sunrise is located in Broward County's central-western section and acts as a gateway to many residential, business, entertainment, and cultural opportunities, making it a prime community and a choice tourist spot for each of the million national and international visitors it welcomes annually.

Here, you'll find a dynamic blend of outdoor escapes, thrilling sports, and world-class shopping wrapped in a city that knows how to keep things interesting, inviting you to swap stress for sunshine, endless to-do lists for endless fun, and the ordinary for something a little more exciting! 

 So, pack that overnighter with your best outfits and a sense of adventure! 

 Here are the top five things you can do while you're here: 

 (1) 

Ready to turn that "quick bite" into a 30-minute debate about where to eat?

Well, match that hearty appetite with strong decision-making skills because, in Sunrise, it's an everyday thing, and if you're a "foodie," you'll fit right in!

You see, Sunrise doesn't just offer you a warm meal — it throws options at you like a chef in a cooking showdown!

Think international cuisines, one after the next, where you'll be chowing down a plate of crispy tacos and slow-cooked carnitas after a steaming bowl of authentic Japanese ramen and a filling slice of New York-style pizza for snacks!

Whether you're craving Latin flavors, classic American comfort food, sizzling Asian stir-fries, or Mediterranean delights, Sunrise delivers variety and flavor!

But the menus aren't the only thing everyone's raving about in Sunrise's dining scene!

Apart from the food options, Sunrise also banks on its diverse dining experiences, offering everything from hole-in-the-wall Cuban cafés serving strong cafecitos and buttery tostadas to high-energy sports bars dishing out wings and burgers to keep your game day vibe alive!

And that's just a preview, ladies and gents!

In Sunrise, eating is a traditional "sport," and the only real winner is your stomach!

 (2) 

The thing is, you don't just "stop by" for a little shopping in Sunrise.

Trust us — this city's retail scene is like a vortex where time and self-control cease to exist, and your only option is to splurge, rest, and repeat!

No, there aren't any "just looking" moments here — Sunrise ensures you'll leave with a cart full of "too good to pass up" deals and a mental note to check your bank account later with zero regrets!

The undisputed champion of retail therapy?  Sawgrass Mills , your VIP pass to a 2.7-million-square-foot retail mecca known as one of the country's largest outlet and value shopping malls, where drawing bargain hunters and fashion lovers from around the world explore hundreds of stores, from luxury brands to unbeatable outlet deals, and an impressive lineup of restaurants.

With everything from designer labels at jaw-dropping discounts to rare finds, a day spent in Sawgrass Mills is like an adventure for your closets (and your wallets) amidst 400+ name-brand retail stores and couture brands, including the likes of Barneys New York, Coach, Crate & Barrel, David Yurman, Miss Sixty, Salvatore Ferragamo, Hugo Boss, Kate Spade, Cole Haan, and more!

But it doesn't stop there!

Apart from the world-class giant outlet, Sunrise also boasts a prime lineup of boutique plazas, local gems, and specialty stores throughout the city, so you'll never run out of places to browse (and justify your next "treat yourself" moment). 

Indeed, resistance is futile, so just embrace the splurge and spree.

 (3) 

Some people think relaxation is about doing nothing.

Here in Sunrise, R&R sessions are about doing nothing in the most scenic destinations across South Florida. 

Okay, it isn't exactly NOTHING — Sunrise's green spaces connect you to nature in a plethora of ways possible, whether you want it in an all-day stroll along tree-lined pathways, a reading marathon under a tree with the sparkling water as your backdrop, or an outdoor adventure amidst flora and fauna!

Yes, peeps, these parks aren't just a nice perk; they're a necessary escape from group chats, to-do lists, and the never-ending "we should hang out soon" texts. 

Craving a dose of waterfront tranquility?  Markham Park  invites you to its lush trails, peaceful lakes, and the occasional model airplane soaring overhead. 

For something a little more off-the-grid,  Sawgrass Sanctuary  lets you trade city noise for birdsong, boardwalk strolls, and enough fresh air to make you forget about your piling emails for a while. 

Meanwhile, if your version of relaxation involves bringing your four-legged best friend along,  Welleby Park  delivers a sprawling dog park, shaded picnic spots, and walking paths to clear your mind — or convince yourself you'll start jogging "one day." 

No matter how you want to unwind, Sunrise has the perfect place to do it — no spa appointment required.

 (4) 

If sightseeing is on your agenda, then consider Sunrise the complete package!

In fact, this city features a short but sweet lineup of must-visit attractions with a mix of history, culture, and a little bit of "wow, I didn't expect that," proving that shopping isn't the only thing Sunrise is good at!

For car enthusiasts — or anyone who appreciates a good dose of nostalgia, visit the  Dauer Museum of Classic Cars , a time capsule of perfectly restored vintage automobiles, where gleaming chrome and old-school luxury reign supreme. 

Here, you can admire rare and iconic cars up close, explore detailed exhibits on automotive history, and step back in time with beautifully preserved memorabilia from the golden age of motoring. 

Meanwhile, if you prefer art, performances, and community events, drop by the  Sunrise Civic Center  and experience the city's cultural heartbeat — as you keep that body slim and fit!

Home to an art gallery, theater, and a stunning outdoor amphitheater that keeps the local scene lively, this multi-purpose community hub also offers a modern fitness center with equipment and training programs, an aquatics complex with multiple swimming pools, and grand ballrooms for events and gatherings!

Beyond its premier destinations for adventure and exploration, Sunrise features an easily accessible location just minutes from South Florida's most famous communities and attractions, perfect for those days when you're craving the sun, sand, and sea (visit Fort Lauderdale, the artsy energy of urbanity (Wynwood, here we go!), or a spontaneous Everglades airboat ride!

There's no doubt that Sunrise makes creating memories easy — all you have to do is pick a direction.

 (5) 

If Excitement had an official headquarters, Sunrise would be in the running for the regional manager, especially if you're down for a competitive match, a laid-back game, stadium-level adventures, or a night out with character!

Rise to a "serving" of action at  Sunrise Tennis Club  and rally on Hydrocourt clay and cushioned hard courts — or casually blame the sun when you miss a shot. 

Then, switch gears at  The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club , a scenic yet challenging par-62 course with rolling greens, a well-stocked pro shop, and a clubhouse where your post-game meal will be the highlight of the day. 

Are you a fan of hockey? Get your adrenaline kick at the  Amerant Bank Arena , and watch Florida Panthers hockey games, major concerts, and events in a sea of stadium lights and roaring crowds!

And when it's time to wrap up the night, grab a pint at  Kings Head British Pub Sunrise , an old-school watering hole serving up traditional UK fare, perfectly poured ales, and cozy pub vibes that make you feel like you've crossed the Atlantic. 

However you like to unwind, Sunrise ensures the fun never clocks out before 9 PM.
