If there's one thing this itinerary proves, it's that there are plenty of cheap things to do in Miami this September. Follow our sample Miami calendar and you'll take a riverboat cruise to an all-you-can-eat BBQ dinner, hunt down treasure during a "Pirate's Den" room-escape challenge, and shoot down alien spaceships at a VR park, all while saving an average of $100 a week.
