Miami, Florida Attractions

Miami – a great place to spend your most awaited vacation – is located in southeastern Florida in the U.S. Known for its pristine beaches and warm weather, this coastal city has plenty of attractions to keep you amused throughout your vacation.

Miami’s wildlife is the prime attraction for millions of visitors to the city. Noted for nature conservation, the city is home to many museums and parks, where endangered species are prolific. Monkey Jungle and Parrot Jungle Island are famous for having the greatest visitor appeal compared to other wildlife destinations in the city.

No Miami vacation is complete without a visit to the Miami Metro Zoo (Metrozoo). A true example of the “cageless zoo" concept, the zoo is renowned as the largest zoological garden in South Florida. Moreover, it is the only zoo in the continental U.S. to have a subtropical climate, which makes it favorable for many ecosystems. On 740 acres of property, you can see more than 100 species of rare animals like white tigers, koalas, black rhino, clouded leopard, Cuban crocodile, and dama gazelle. Around 300 species of endangered birds can be found in the zoo’s open aviary.

The Dr. Wilde’s World at the zoo offers fun and educational experience to children and adults alike. This indoor gallery showcases the wonders of tropical America. It includes several seasonal and traveling exhibits, which will take you through the different cultures and regions of the world. A 500-gallon aquarium with some of the interesting fishes from the Amazon River is also found here.

If you are interested in an eco-adventure tour, then don’t forget to visit Everglades Safari Park. You can take an enthralling 30-minute airboat ride to explore its 1.2 million acres of hardwood hammocks and grasslands. The park is home to more than 400 American alligators. Interactive alligator shows are conducted here.

From stunning playgrounds to children’s museums, the attractions in Miami are numerous for children of any age. Miami Children's Museum – located on Watson Island - is the best place where your kids get a chance to play and learn through various interactive exhibits. This 56,500 square-foot facility has 12 galleries, auditorium, classrooms, subway restaurant, and much more. The museum offers various learning materials related to culture, arts, and community. Free annual film program is organized for middle and high school students.

Of course, Miami is a city of art and culture lovers. There are several museums and parks that preserve the rich culture of the city. Among them, the most noted ones are Miami Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and Art Deco Welcome Center. Many historical sites can also be found.
