Coconut Grove for Kids.
“The Grove” has been dubbed “the village with a rhythm all its own.” A rhythm that is played out in tree-lined streets, scores of shops, restaurants and night-spots and a throbbing, upbeat street life that vibrates with a character all its own. Check out the most popular kids' attractions in Coconut Grove:
Go Vegan and Raw... The Coconut Grove Farmers Market offers an overwhelming assortment of fresh greens, fruits and exotics such as durian and mamey. Local organic growers sell their goods at this market making the product about as fresh as it comes. The market is located at 3300 Grand Avenue, Coconut Grove.
Motivate Your Little Picasso 2009 marked the 46th year anniversary of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival attracting 150,000 people and over 330 artists and craftsmen from around the globe.
