When people come to South Florida, they think about Fort Lauderdale, or South Beach. Yet, there are plenty of other great places to come check out in South Florida. Hallandale Beach is the southernmost city in Broward County, right next to Miami-Dade County. In addition, it is a beach city, and one of the best things there is Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream has live horse racing throughout the year, a casino, along with restaurants, bars, shopping and so much more.
They have lots of family friendly events going on, as well as bowling, pottery and canvas painting, karaoke, an arcade and live music. You can check out the events here: Events
