Here’s how to make the most of your weekend at Aventura Mall.

Let the Fun Unfold

Weekends at Aventura Mall offer more than just shopping—they’re an invitation to play, explore, and create memories together. Don’t miss your last chance to experience one of our most iconic attractions: the Aventura Slide Tower by renowned artist Carsten Höller. Towering 93 feet over the Outdoor Courtyard, this whimsical steel-and-glass artwork is part sculpture, part adrenaline rush, and always a crowd favorite. Whether you choose to take the plunge or simply admire its dynamic presence, both are what artist Carsten Höller once described as “powerful experiences.”

Just steps away, discover Gorillas in the Mist by The Haas Brothers. This playful bronze fountain features whimsical gorilla figures and water elements that delight guests of all ages. It’s a moment of joy, interaction, and an Instagram-worthy backdrop you won’t want to miss.

Little adventurers can enjoy the colorful world of Rainbow Valley Playground, located on the Lower Level. This interactive indoor play space, designed by Miami-based artists FriendsWithYou, is bursting with imaginative shapes and vibrant hues making it the perfect spot for kids to climb, play, and let their imaginations soar.

Art for the Soul

At Aventura Mall, art isn’t confined to a gallery—it’s part of the everyday experience. The ARTS Aventura Collection features striking works by globally renowned artists, transforming a day of shopping into a cultural journey. Get your phone ready—with more than 25 Instagram-worthy pieces, you’ll find endless moments worth capturing.

Strike a pose with LOVE, the bold red, blue, and green sculpture by iconic Pop artist Robert Indiana. A favorite among families, fashionistas, and photo-seekers alike, it’s a symbol of connection, resilience, and the enduring power of love. Then, take a seat—literally—on Eye Benches by modern art legend Louise Bourgeois. Crafted from sleek black Zimbabwe granite, these surreal sculptures double as seating and invite guests to reflect, observe, and reimagine how we see the world around us.

The two latest additions to the ARTS Aventura Collection offer fresh and playful perspectives for your visit. The Colored Screens by Daniel Buren, suspended above Treats Food Hall, brings bold geometric patterns and vibrant hues that play with light and space—casting colorful reflections that shift throughout the day. Nearby on the Upper Level, Joy by Austin Lee captures a sense of emotion and whimsy through vivid color and fluid form. Originally created in virtual reality, the sculpture bridges digital creativity with traditional bronze craftsmanship.

Make your visit even more meaningful by embarking on a self-guided ArtWalk audio tour.
