What to do in Miami with kids? From street art to swimming in Roman style.

During our trip through Florida we spent 4 lovely days in Miami. As I wasn’t really impressed by the city last time I visited it, 16 years earlier, I asked myself the question this time: “Is there anything to do in Miami with kids?” And I was happily surprised! Miami has lots to offer. Beautiful art deco buildings, lovely beaches, great food and a relaxed vibe. And there is loads to do for kids too! So here’s a list with the best highlights in Miami with kids:

 

Top 6 What to do in Miami with kids? 

 

  1. South Beach 

Miami has really nice beaches! Just picture a light blue sea, white beaches and the occasional palm tree. Floris and Lotte were very excited by Miami South Beach. South Beach has lovely white sand but does have a rather rough surf. We had to hold on to the kids firmly when we went into the water. The kids were especially fond of all the little playgrounds just behind the beach where they could play on the slides and swings and climb about.

Entrance fee: free

 

  1. Key Biscayne

Key Biscayne has a lot less surf and is located in a kind of park. The park has loads of parking space (even for campers!) and you can have a barbecue or go for a bicycle ride. There are even special bikes you can rent that you can ride on four at a time. And you can find fun playgrounds here too. There is even a small “café” where you can sit on the terrace and order a quick bite to eat or a drink. From the beach you have a great view of Miami.

Entrance fee: free

 

  1. Venetian Pool

Right in the middle of Miami you will find this special “pool”. It’s an historical building with a fantastic lagoon you can swim in. This pool dates back from 1924 and is made entirely out of coral. Unfortunately we discovered last minute that you need to be at least 3 years old to get in (and Lotte was 2 years and 11 months old). But if the kids are 3+ it’s a sure must!

Entrance fee:

Kids starting from:  10 USD

Adults starting from: 15 USD

 

  1. Children’s Museum

This special museum is located in Miami too. Kids can do all sorts of stuff here such as crafting, interactive games and loads more. So no ‘look but don’t touch’ but get busy!

Entrance fee:

Kids starting from: 20 USD (ages 0-1 no charge)

Adults starting from: 20  USD

 

  1. Wynwood walls 

Wynwood is a rather special piece of Miami. It’s raw, urban and you will find the Wynwood walls here. This is high level street-art. In this secluded part of Wynwood you can  walk through and past warehouses that are transformed into pieces of art by paintings.  Floris loved this and wanted his picture taken with every painting.

Entrance fee: free

 

  1. Miami Zoo

I’m not a big fan of zoos myself (I’d rather see animals in the wild), but most kids (like ours) love them! So paying a visit to Miami Zoo will certainly be appreciated.

Entrance fee: free

Kids starting from: 18 USD (ages 0-2 no charge)

Adults starting from: 22 USD
