Things To Do

Two major attractions are reopening this weekend in Miami. Here’s what else is open

We have made it to November, people. Is it a miracle? Maybe not. But it feels that way.

Much of Miami-Dade has reopened by now, but two of its big attractions are opening this weekend. After almost eight months, the Pérez Art Museum Miami is reopening to the general public on Saturday, Nov. 7. Initially the museum will be open Thursday through Sunday with limited hours and capacity.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Nov. 6, the Miami Seaquarium reopens with limited capacity. The marine life attraction will be open Friday through Sunday through November and plans to extend its hours next month.

Also reopening? Everybody’s favorite fruit stand, Robert is Here.

The county curfew remains for now at midnight-6 a.m. Businesses are allowed to enforce mask requirements, so you still need to wear a mask when you go out.

Here’s what is open and closed — mostly open, as you can see — for the weekend of Nov. 6-8.

RESTAURANTS

Restaurants are open. Those that have space to accommodate more tables while also keeping a six-foot separation between tables are allowed to open at 100 percent capacity. Only six people are allowed per table (or 10 if they are from the same household).

BARS

Miami-Dade bars are allowed to open. Bars with only counter service can reach 50 percent capacity with seating separated as far as possible.
