  • Movie theaters

The Swap Shop is a weird, random and absolutely massive indoor-outdoor market in Broward County. Here, you’ll find just about everything, including a 14-screen drive-in movie theater, a tiny amusement park and so much more. It’s a bit of a drive from Miami, but there’s really no other market that embodies the weirdness of South Florida as accurately as the Swap Shop. 3291 W Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale

6. Redland Market Village

At Homestead’s best flea market, you can haggle your way into some sweet deals and also eat delicious, fresh Mexican food from local vendors. You can find everything here: pets, shoes, plants, fish, jewelry, fishing supplies, homewares and produce. A visit to the Latin-American-flavored food court at Redland Market Village is a must, too. It’ll help give you the strength to tackle this 27-acre market. 24420 S Dixie Hwy
