The Falls

The Falls is a shopping centre like no other, with a one-of-a-kind design and more than 100 stores, restaurants, and a cinema. Located in Kendall, Florida, which is south of Coral Gables in Miami-Dade County, the retail destination lies on US 1 and SW 136th Street.

The Falls happens to be one of the most extensive open-air dining, shopping, and entertainment centers in the United States, but what really makes it stand out is its waterscape design. The showcase feature is an artificial lagoon with waterfalls and colourful tropical foliage along with walkways. The sheer volume of water here is incredible, with 850,000 flowing gallons.
