Largest indoor entertainment park is coming to Miami

There’s no shortage of family fun to be had in South Florida, but not necessarily in one spot, and soon that will all change when Dezerland Park opens in early 2019.

Set to be the largest indoor entertainment park in Miami, thanks to the vision of billionaire real estate developer Michael Dezer, the more than 250,000-square-foot theme park will feature a virtual reality play area with more than 40 visual attractions. Guests can tour a $50 million display of James Bond paraphernalia called the 007 Bond Museum. Action junkies can compete at the rope park course, go indoor rock climbing, shoot off some paintballs, and jump about on a massive trampoline. In addition, the park will include zip lining, go-karts, bumper cars and so on.  The park will have dance and karate classes, event space for private parties, and an Olympic-level gymnastics training center.

Dezer is no amateur to theme parks. He’s a business partner behind Fort Lauderdale’s Extreme Action Park, which SFBW detailed in this post.

“As a grandfather now, I have kids and grandkids who want to be entertained, and there is nothing like this in the market,” Dezer said, in a press release. “It’s fulfilling and rewarding to bring value, fun and entertainment to this Miami community that I love so much. It’s definitely a hobby for me, but it’s one I enjoy.”

Dezerland Park isn’t only intended for kids and families. Businesses looking to offer their teams an unconventional corporate outing and team building opportunities can consider booking an event at the park.

Dezerland Park is located at 14401 NE 19th Ave., in North Miami. Visit www.dezerlandpark.com for more information.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
