Miami Bayside Fun Park: New Attraction at Bayside Marketplace

September 13, 2026

Miami Bayside Fun Park: New Attraction at Bayside Marketplace

Miami Bayside Fun Park at Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami.

Say hello to the newest attraction at Bayside Marketplace — Miami Bayside Fun Park!

We watched this new family attraction come to life right here at Bayside, and now it’s open. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re not alone — a lot of visitors still don’t know it’s here.


Since we’re at Bayside every day operating our Miami Bayside Boat Tours, we’re going to show you everything we know so far — where the Fun Park is, what you’ll find, what it costs, and what to know before you visit.


And here’s the best part: it’s free to enter. You only pay for the rides and games you choose to enjoy.

Where Is Miami Bayside Fun Park?

Miami Bayside Fun Park is located inside Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami, near the main entrance.

Walk in under the flags, continue toward the large banyan tree, and make a right just after you pass it. You’ll find the Fun Park near Starbucks and the large Bayside sign.


If you’re driving toward Bayside and the Skyviews Miami observation wheel, you may even spot some of the attractions before you enter.

What Is Miami Bayside Fun Park?

Miami Bayside Fun Park is a new family-friendly amusement area inside Bayside Marketplace, bringing classic carnival-style fun right into Downtown Miami.


You’ll find amusement rides, kids’ attractions, basketball and carnival games, prizes, and fair-style treats — all just steps from the shops, restaurants, marina, and waterfront.


What makes this new Bayside attraction different is the setting. You’re not leaving Bayside to visit an amusement park — it’s now part of the experience.


For us, it’s another sign of how Bayside keeps evolving and becoming an even better place for families to spend time together.

Rides & Games at Bayside Fun Park Miami

The new Bayside Fun Park Miami mixes classic amusement rides with carnival-style games, bringing even more family fun to Bayside Marketplace.



Here’s some of what we’ve seen so far:

  • 🎠 Venetian Carousel
  • 🏀 Hoops basketball game
  • 🎣 Go Fishin’
  • 🔨 Whac-A-Mole
  • 🚂 Kids’ train-style ride
  • 🎯 Carnival games with prizes
  • 🎡 Other small rides for younger kids


Our personal favorite? The basketball game. And we have a feeling it won’t just be the kids taking shots. With tour operators, business owners, and employees working around Bayside every day, don’t be surprised if you catch a few of us shooting hoops when we get a chance.


That’s part of what makes this new Bayside attraction so much fun. It was added with families in mind, but it also brings a little more energy to everyone who spends time at Bayside Marketplace.


Since Miami Bayside Fun Park is still new, rides and game availability may change from one visit to another.

Bayside Fun Park Tickets, Prices & Free Entry

Entry to the Fun Park at Bayside Marketplace is free. You can walk in, look around, and decide which attractions you want to enjoy without paying a general admission fee.


Rides and carnival games are paid separately, with individual tickets available once you’re there. Credit cards are accepted.



There’s also no reservation required to simply visit. If you’re already exploring Downtown Miami or looking for family activities at Bayside Marketplace, you can just walk over and check it out.


Since this is a new Bayside attraction, prices and ticket options may change. We’ll keep this guide updated as we learn more.

A New Family Attraction at Bayside Marketplace

If you’re visiting Bayside with kids, this addition just makes sense. Bayside Fun Park gives families something completely different to do between shopping, eating, sightseeing, and enjoying the waterfront.


We see families at Bayside every day — locals, visitors exploring Downtown Miami, and cruise passengers with kids. Now there’s another reason for them to stay a little longer.


And that’s what we like most about it: Bayside keeps evolving into an even more family-friendly destination in Miami.



Been to Bayside 100 times? Make it 101. There’s something new to see.

Make a Day of It at Bayside Marketplace

The new Fun Park doesn’t have to be the whole plan. Make it one stop in a great day around Bayside and Downtown Miami.

A family day could look like this:

  • 🌊 Start with a Miami sightseeing cruise on Biscayne Bay
  • 🍴 Grab lunch at Bayside Marketplace
  • 🎠 Enjoy the Fun Park rides and carnival games
  • 🎡 Take a ride on the Skyviews Miami observation wheel
  • 🌅 Finish the day along the waterfront at sunset


Want even more options? Check out our Bayside tours to see other sightseeing experiences you can enjoy before or after the Fun Park.


Morning, afternoon, or evening — build your Bayside day your way.

Food & Carnival Treats at Bayside Fun Park

What’s a fun park without some classic carnival food?

The Bayside Fun Park food area includes a Street Fair stand with fair-style favorites like funnel cakes, churros, fried sweets, and refreshing lemonade.


If carnival treats aren’t what you’re craving, you’re already inside Bayside Marketplace, surrounded by restaurants, bars, cafés, and plenty of other places to grab a bite along the Miami waterfront.


That’s another advantage of having a Downtown Miami family attraction right inside Bayside — you can grab a treat at the Fun Park, sit down for a meal nearby, and keep the day going.



Come hungry. Bayside Fun Park Miami brings the treats, and Downtown Miami brings the appetite.

Best Time to Visit Bayside Fun Park Miami

There really isn’t a bad time to stop by — the experience simply changes throughout the day.

During the daytime, Bayside Fun Park has that classic outdoor fair feeling, with the rides, games, and Downtown Miami surroundings all in view.


Around sunset, temperatures can feel more comfortable and the waterfront atmosphere starts changing. Then at night, the Fun Park lights come on and the whole area takes on a completely different look.


Morning, sunset, or after dinner — if you’re already looking for things to do at Bayside Marketplace, go take a look. It’s new, it’s right there, and it’s free to enter.

Parking & Getting to the Fun Park in Bayside

Driving to the Fun Park? The most convenient option is the Bayside Marketplace parking garage, located right at the property in Downtown Miami.


Once you’re inside Bayside, there’s no second drive or separate destination. Enter under the flags, continue toward the large banyan tree, and you’ll find the Fun Park just past it on the right.


Bayside Marketplace is also easy to reach by rideshare, taxi, public transportation, or on foot from many areas of Downtown Miami.


If you’re driving, check our Bayside Marketplace parking guide before heading over for current parking information, rates, and helpful arrival tips.


Park once, and enjoy everything Bayside has waiting for you.

A New Chapter for Bayside Marketplace

If you’ve been coming to Bayside for years, you’ve probably noticed one thing: Bayside never stops changing.

We work here every day, and we’ve watched Bayside continue to evolve with sightseeing experiences, restaurants, bars, waterfront entertainment, and now a new dedicated Fun Park.


For us, this one feels different. Bayside Fun Park brings another level of energy to the marketplace, especially for parents looking for something fun their kids can enjoy while spending time in Downtown Miami.


And as a local business operating right here at Bayside, we love seeing it. When a new attraction brings more people, more families, and more excitement to the marketplace, the entire Bayside community benefits.



We’ll say it: adding a Fun Park to Bayside wasn’t just a good idea. It was a genius idea.

Visiting Miami Bayside Fun Park With Your Kids

Bringing the little ones? Miami Bayside Fun Park adds another easy family activity right inside Bayside Marketplace.

Along with the carousel and carnival games, we’ve seen smaller attractions for younger children, including a colorful train-style ride and other kid-sized rides.


The general Fun Park area is easy to navigate with strollers and manual wheelchairs, although individual attractions may have their own safety and height requirements. Always check the posted rules before riding.



For families exploring Downtown Miami with kids, it’s an easy way to add some extra fun without leaving Bayside Marketplace.

More Fun Before or After Your Miami Cruise

For years, cruise passengers leaving PortMiami have made Bayside Marketplace one of their first stops before or after a cruise. Now there’s something completely new waiting for them.


Traveling with kids? Let them enjoy the rides, carousel, and carnival games. Traveling without kids? Go shoot some hoops — we probably will too.


It adds another fun element to an already popular Downtown Miami attraction near the cruise port, especially when you have a late flight or a few extra hours before leaving Miami.


Instead of just passing time, you can grab some food, enjoy the waterfront, check out the new Bayside Fun Park Miami, and squeeze a little more Miami into your trip.



Your cruise might be over, but your Miami vacation doesn’t have to be.

What to Know About Miami Weather Before You Visit

Miami Bayside Fun Park is an outdoor attraction, so South Florida weather can definitely be part of the experience.

Sunny day? Perfect — enjoy the rides, carnival games, and open-air atmosphere right inside Bayside Marketplace.


If rain, thunderstorms, or lightning move through Downtown Miami, outdoor attractions may be affected. Since we don’t operate the Fun Park, we recommend checking directly with them if the weather looks questionable.


And one local tip: there is limited shade around parts of the Fun Park. On a hot Miami afternoon, dress comfortably and come prepared for the sunshine.

Strollers, Wheelchairs & Getting Around the Fun Park

Getting around Miami Bayside Fun Park is as easy as getting around Bayside Marketplace — no complicated entrance, no separate facility, and no need to leave Bayside.



The general Fun Park area is stroller-friendly and accessible for manual wheelchairs, making it easy to move around, watch the kids, check out the games, or simply walk through and see what’s new.


Individual rides may have their own height, safety, and accessibility requirements, so always check the posted guidelines before riding.


Need a restroom? There aren’t restrooms directly inside the Fun Park, but Bayside Marketplace has multiple restroom areas throughout the property.


Bottom line: get to Bayside, and getting to the fun part is easy.

See the Fun Park Come Alive at Night

During the day, Miami Bayside Fun Park has the colorful feel of an outdoor fair. But once the sun goes down and all those lights come on, the atmosphere completely changes.


The carousel lights up, the games glow, and the Fun Park adds even more color to the nighttime energy of Bayside Marketplace and Downtown Miami.


Just finished one of our Bayside night cruises? Before heading home, walk over to the Fun Park and see it lit up for yourself. Even if you’re not riding anything, it’s worth taking a look.


We like to describe it this way: at night, the Fun Park feels like a little bit of Christmas 365 days a year — lights, colors, and fun right in the middle of Bayside.


Daytime is fun. But nighttime? That’s when you really need to see it for yourself.

How Long Should You Spend at the Fun Park?

There’s no set amount of time you need at the Fun Park — and we think that’s one of the best things about it.

You don’t need to plan your day around it. Walk in, play a few carnival games, take the kids on a ride, challenge somebody to basketball, or keep going if everyone’s having a good time.


If you’re searching for a Miami Fun Park without turning it into an all-day commitment, this is exactly that kind of experience. You can make it a quick stop or let the fun decide how long you stay.


That also makes it great for those unexpected gaps in your day — maybe you finished another activity earlier than expected, the kids still have energy, or you simply walked by and decided, why not?



No timetable. No pressure. Just walk over and have some fun.

Miami Locals, It Might Be Time to Visit Bayside Again

Think you already know Bayside Marketplace? You might want to take another look.

For Miami locals, Bayside is one of those places you’ve probably visited more times than you can count. But now there’s a brand-new reason to come back: Miami Bayside Fun Park.



And you don’t need to make a big day out of it. Bring the kids, meet some friends, grab a funnel cake, play a few carnival games, or come challenge somebody at the basketball hoops.


That’s what we like about this addition. It gives locals something new to discover at a Miami landmark they’ve known for years.

So if it’s been a minute since you’ve visited Bayside, consider this your excuse.


You’ve seen Bayside before. You haven’t seen this Bayside.

Why the Fun Park Fits Bayside Marketplace So Well

You can find rides and carnival games in plenty of places. What makes Miami Bayside Fun Park stand out is where the experience happens.


Every day at Bayside, you see a mix of Miami locals, families, cruise passengers, and travelers all sharing the same space — and the Fun Park fits naturally into that mix.


You might come to Bayside without even knowing the Fun Park exists. Then the kids spot the carousel, somebody challenges you to basketball, and suddenly Miami Bayside Fun Park becomes part of your day without ever being part of the original plan.



That’s why this attraction feels so natural here. It doesn’t feel like something that was simply placed at Bayside — it feels like something Bayside was missing.


And maybe that’s the best way to explain it:

The Fun Park doesn’t take you away from Miami. Miami is already happening all around it.
