Summer vacation looks a bit different this year so we're helping you embrace the STAY-cation!

We're all trying to stay closer to home this year and while that might mean your typical summer vacation was canceled, it doesn't mean there's no way to enjoy the summer. So, we've compiled a list of staycation spots within driving distance of Miami. Stay safe and enjoy!

The all-new Open Air Theater will offer a socially distanced theater experience on the grounds of Hard Rock Stadium. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase reserved seating for our nightly movie showings. Restaurant-style dining and concessions will be available for purchase. View Movie Schedule.

2. DRIVE UP THEATER

The all-new Hard Rock Stadium drive-in experiences combine what you love about a drive-in movie with being on the field of your favorite NFL stadium. Guests will drive their cars onto the field of Hard Rock Stadium and be given the opportunity to listen to the movie from the comfort of your vehicle OR set up in your assigned "Tailgate Space" directly outside your vehicle while maintaining a 6' distance from all other vehicles and moviegoers.
