- Through interactive experiences, Jungle Island enthrals park visitors with a sense of adventure and discovery.
- Built in 1925 with the original role of an essential immigration-processing centre for the hundreds of thousands of Cuban refugees that arrived in the states, today the freedom tower acts as a tribute to Cuban immigration and proudly stands as one of the most striking skyscrapers in the southeastern United States. Freedom Tower also served as the head office of the Miami Daily New for many years.
- the Art Deco Historic District is worth the attention it gets. This architectural style, popular in the 1930s and 40s, dominates the trendy South Beach neighbourhood. The uniquely designed buildings, the range of pastel colours and the large neon display signs were built post a devastating hurricane that struck in 1926.
- Located at the southern end of Miami Beach is a glorious stretch of sand known as South Beach. This wide section of beach fronts the ocean in the neighbourhood of the same name. Often packed in summer, this is the most popular beach in Miami and one of the top beaches in Florida. It’s a place to see and be seen, but also a place to swim and enjoy the shallow waters, escape the heat, and soak up the sun. A paved walk lines the beach, and in behind is Ocean Drive, where motorists cruise slowly by and take in the sights.
- Set on 28 acres, The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a National Historic Landmark that was the luxurious winter home of James Deering. Built in 1916, the mansion features 34 rooms arrayed around a middle lawn. It took about 1,100 workers and craftsmen to complete the project, many of whom were brought over from Europe to ensure the authenticity of design. The Italian Renaissance-style villa is pervaded with an impressive collection of European fittings and decorative arts from the 15th to 19th centuries.
- The Everglades National Park is just a short drive from Miami, protects one of Florida’s most unique natural features “These swamplands” covering about 1.5 million acres of land, are home to alligators, crocodiles, snakes, and all kinds of birds. This whole area is essentially a shallow river flowing out to the ocean.
- The Bayside Marketplace is a large outdoor mall with more than 150 speciality shops, numerous cafes and restaurants, and daily live entertainment. Visitors will find some well-known chain stores, as well as many unique places. The marketplace draws in locals as well as tourists. As may be evident in the name, the mall is located along Miami’s waterfront, looking out over docks and boats.
- Little Havana, the Cuban district of Miami, known for its distinctive cultural scene. Restaurants and speciality food shops line the streets, and Latin music drifts through the air much like the florida sun. Locals socialize in the open expanses. Murals grace the walls of buildings, showing important Cuban figures and scenes of daily life. Calle Ocho is the main thoroughfare running through the district and home to much of the activity, but Little Havana spreads well beyond, into the surrounding streets and avenues.
- Set on the east side of Biscayne Boulevard, The Bayfront Park is a 32-acre green pasture placed conveniently adjacent to the Bayside Marketplace. The park prides itself with several interesting monuments and sculptures. One of the unique features is the electronically controlled Pepper Fountain. Other highlights include the Challenger Memorial, commemorating the crew of the Challenger spacecraft; the Light Tower, an amphitheatre used for musical performances of all kinds; and a children’s playground. Locals often come here just to run or walk on the paved trails.
