Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 4.7 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Sunrise instead of crossing town between them. Amerant Bank Arena is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Sultan Nut House | Nuts, Coffee, Chocolates, & More — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to friends, couples, families, and solo who want a planned Sunrise outing without improvising between stops.
