Kids Activities in Pembroke Pines

Everything your family can do in Pembroke Pines — organized in one place. Find activities, classes, camps, and resources across our Family Life guides.

Rainy Day Backup Plan

South Florida afternoon thunderstorms can derail outdoor plans fast. Keep a mental list of indoor options: South Regional Library (story times and discovery zones), Pines Ice Arena (public skating), AMF Bowling, the indoor play areas at Pembroke Lakes Mall and Shops at Pembroke Gardens, and Kids Empire. For more indoor-friendly venues, see our Family Fun guide. Having a backup plan means a rainy day doesn't become a lost day.
