Attractions

Miami is known for its amazing attractions. While you should definitely schedule a day for beach relaxation, you should also be sure to plan ahead to check out the broader tourism scene. Just imagine, in one day you could catch some early morning sun at the beach, then head down the Everglades and visit a real working alligator farm where 2,000 alligators of all sizes live in natural settings at Everglades Alligator Farm. Not into giant native reptiles? The options are endless. Maybe you're thinking something more like a tour of a mansion with more than two thousand years of lifestyle artifacts? Well, you're in luck because we have that too at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens on Biscayne Bay. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is the estate of James Deering, built in 1916, a sprawling formal garden and a stunning estate that's open to the public, has been the backdrop to many a film and photo shoot and continues to delight with its' timeless beauty. The examples of what you could to fill a day in Miami go on and on. A classic attraction is Zoo Miami. Kids and parents, animal lovers and educators can't resist the charm of a day at the zoo - and with a zoo like this, why would you? Flamingos, komodo dragons, meerkats, monkeys, rhinos of all kinds, lions, tigers and bears - oh my! - are all on exhibit at this world-class zoo. At Zoo Miami you'll take a trip around the world without ever leaving Miami. The zoo is divided into parts of the world: Africa, Asia, Australia and Future Tropical Americas. If you could spend all day at the zoo watching the monkeys jump around there's an attraction just for you: Monkey Jungle "where humans are in cages and monkeys run wild!" Located in South Dade Monkey Jungle is a 30 acre reserve where nearly 400 primates run and rove at their leisure. Monkey Jungle is part of a world-wide effort to save monkeys close to extinction and protect them within comfortable and familiar environments.

Activities

Drive through Miami, discovering its rich history, then head out to the Everglades, the only subtropical preserve in North America. As you approach the park, a guide will tell you about the many birds and foliage found in the River of Grass. Then explore the Glades on a 40-minute airboat ride, and see an Indian village, alligator wrestling and even a wildlife show. Take a colorful tour to the world-famous Art-Deco District of South Beach. Then head to Brickell Avenue, the financial heart of Miami. Your tour takes you to the bohemian village of Coconut Grove and its lush vegetation. Finally, a drive through Coral Gables will take you past the Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool and Miracle Mile. Marvel at the homes of the rich and famous while cruising the calm waters of Biscayne Bay.

Adventures

Try snorkeling or scuba diving off Key Biscayne in John Pennecamp Coral Reef State Park, a protected 78 sq. mile (202 sq. km) section of the Florida Reef.
