About

Dezerland Action Park Miami is one of the largest indoor entertainment complexes in South Florida, occupying a massive footprint in North Miami with an impressive roster of activities: go-karts, bowling, roller skating, arcade games, bumper cars, laser tag, and more.

With 2,185 reviews and a 4.1-star rating, Dezerland occupies an interesting position — highly visited with a loyal customer base, but with enough mixed reviews to suggest the experience varies. The scope of the facility is genuine (this is not a small venue), and the variety is real, but managing expectations around waits, pricing, and the quality of individual attractions is important.

The go-kart track is the signature attraction and a strong draw for families with kids 8 and up. The track is more substantial than typical mall-based go-kart setups, and kids who've been wanting a real racing experience will find this satisfying. Height and age minimums apply.

Bowling and roller skating add depth and variety that makes Dezerland a genuinely multi-hour destination. A family can easily spend 3-5 hours without running out of things to do, which is a significant advantage over single-activity venues.

Weekdays open at 4PM, making this primarily an evening and weekend destination for families. Saturday morning (10AM opening) is the best family time slot — full hours available without the late-night teen crowds that dominate the space by 8PM on weekends.

Why Kids Love It

Dezerland Action Park is a massive multi-attraction entertainment complex that keeps older kids engaged for hours — go-karts, bowling, roller skating, arcade games, bumper cars, and more under one roof. The go-kart track is a particular draw for kids 8 and up who want something genuinely thrilling, and the roller skating rink is a nostalgic experience that many Miami kids never get elsewhere. The sheer variety means every family member finds something exciting.

Pro Tips from Parents

  • Reserve bowling lanes online before arriving — walk-up waits can exceed an hour on busy nights.
  • Go-karts have minimum height requirements (check website before promising to younger children).
  • Weekday opening is 4PM — it's an after-school destination during the week, not a morning option.
  • The facility is very large; plan your priorities in advance or you'll spend half the visit walking between attractions.
  • Birthday party packages available and well-reviewed for the 10-15 age range specifically.

What to Bring

  • Closed-toe shoes (required for go-karts and skating)
  • Extra layers (AC is strong)
  • Budget for multiple activities — this place encourages spending
  • Pre-purchased tokens/credits if available online
