Is having your family in
Miami such a good idea? Should you take them with you when you move to this party city? The bustling metropolis is great to navigate as an adult, but what about the little ones? Will the whole family have a good time in Miami? Don't worry, they will! For one thing, the city is a treasure trove of amazing family-friendly places. The kids can learn a lot in the Miami Children's Museum, which fosters creativity and combines learning and playtime. There's also Puttshack, a cool mini-golf course that's chock-full of excitement. And when it's hot outside, you can always cool off at the Venetian Pool together too. What's not to love?
Miami Beach
The beach is always a fun place for the entire family. And since Miami Beach has tons of them, you'll be going to the seaside again and again! There's a reason why Miami is a popular tourist destination. Beyond the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, the
beaches in Miami are some of the best in the country. They're perfect for the whole family to bond and spend quality time with each other. In summer, it's all about getting a tan and swimming in the sea. But even in winter, you can still have picnics on the beach too.
Venetian Pool
If you still want to swim but don't want to get sand in your swimsuit, look no further than the Venetian Pool. One of the biggest and most beautiful pools in Miami, the Venetian Pool is a public swimming hole designed to look like you're in the middle of the jungle. There are palm trees all around, a waterfall-like fountain, and the water emits a natural greenish tone but is still clean. Since the city is known for its abundance of sunshine, the Venetian Pool is the perfect place to cool off with the entire family in Miami.
Miami Children’s Museum
It's safe to say that the Miami Children’s Museum is more like an indoor playground than a museum. Though it still has its fair share of displays, it's the immersive fun offered here that makes it a must-see for the little ones. The kids will love “Construction Zone,” where they can pretend they're working on buildings. “All About Art” is, as its name says, all about art! This is where the little ones can let their creativity go wild and bring out their inner Picassos. There's also “Bank,” a fun area where children can learn about the value of money (hopefully the value of saving it too!).
FunDimension
What's a great way to spend time with
family in Miami? Play, play, and... oh yeah! Play! This city is all about having a good time, so when you're with your little ones, you ought to play to your heart's content. FunDimension is perfect for that! This amusement center offers a treasure trove of sports, games, and more. You can ride the bumper cars, go bowling, or even battle it out at the laser tag arena. There's also the virtual reality experience, which will take you to places you've never been before. Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it?
Puttshack
If you're the type of family that can be amused by just one thing, then you might prefer Puttshack instead. FunDimension is a great place and all, but with so many options, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Here at Puttshack, however, there's only mini-golf. This indoor mini-golf course looks and feels more like an arcade than regular mini-golf. Each hole glows with neon lights, loud music plays on the speakers, and the energy is always high. With a great menu on offer too, you can spend your entire
day in Miami here at Puttshack!
Zoological Wildlife Foundation
Though the city has numerous standard zoos, the Zoological Wildlife Foundation is arguably the best place to see animals with your whole family in Miami. It's a private facility that shelters rescued animals from larger zoos and even poachers. Some are even donated too. With the whole 'zoo' concept scrapped, the place is beloved for its interactive approach to showcasing exotic animals. Guests can feed the camels directly, for instance, while kids are allowed to hold monkeys with their hands. Parents, you don't need to worry! The facility is staffed with great and helpful professionals who ensure everyone's safety.
Jungle Island
Finally, there's Jungle Island. Much like the Zoological Wildlife Foundation, this is another place where you can see and hang out with animals in Miami. But make no mistake! This ain't no ordinary zoo either! It's an eco-adventure park where kids can play as much as they can look at animals. Don't worry! They can't play with the wild animals. Instead, they can go to the various attractions apart from the animal enclosures. Treetop Trekking is particularly popular. Here, you can go on various ziplines that'll let you zoom through six whole acres of lush forests. What an adventure that will be!
What to spend quality time with your whole family in Miami? Then you're in luck! The city is full of fun hotspots where the young and old can have the time of their lives. They all prove that Miami truly is all about having a good time!
