    luxury shopping
    perfect luxury shopping place, nice bistro with vegan food, cute squares and colorful streets, only one negative point is that it is not a nice walk to get there so taxi is a must

    Eye opening experience of the Police History of the City of Miami
    Museum Director is a wealth of history and knowledge of the City of Miami. Such a good experience to learn how the building blocks were put together to form what we know today as the City of Miami PD

    In art we don't trust
    We liked the building and views very much. The exhibition of Mariano Rodriguez was great. However, spatial art had too large portion in exhibitions - and somecases in a way which was too near Science centers.

    My daughter loved it!
    It isn't perfect, but my daughter had a blast. Some elements were not working, and the pricing is a little high, especially for a 19 mo. However, there was something for kids of all ages. We loved the music wing, which was highly interactive. Many of the art activities come at an additional charge. You can easily entertain a kid for hours, so pack accordingly.

    Estate of Charles Deering, not James Deering
    Don't be confused. It took me a little while to figure it out. The Charles Deering who established the Deering Estate was the brother of the James Deering who built Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Two Miami landmarks, two millionaire brothers/industrialists/philanthropists. Charles Deering was the son of William Deering, founder of Deering Harvester Company. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy and serving as an officer in the Navy until 1881, he became secretary of his father's company, which merged with McCormick Harvesting Company and became International Harvester in 1902. He died at the age of 75 at his estate at Cutler. He lived on the 444-acre property for five years, from 1922 until his death in 1927. Located at 16701 Southwest 72nd Avenue in the Cutler neighborhood of Palmetto Bay, the estate, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, consists of a three-story wooden house built in 1900, known as the Richmond Cottage, and a three-story stone mansion. The grounds include what is thought to be the largest virgin coastal tropical hardwood hammock in the continental United States. The Richmond Cottage was built as a family home at the end of the 19th century, converted into a 22-room hotel in 1900, then purchased by Charles Deering in 1916 and used as his residence until his Mediterranean Stone House was completed in 1922. It has 18-inch poured concrete walls, oolitic limestone, coffered ceilings, copper clad and brass doors, an elevator and a wine cellar. Deering intended the house to be used as a showcase for his art collection and books. Two other must-see attractions on the property are the Cutler Burial Mound, one of the few surviving prehistoric mounds in Miami-Dade County, and the Cutler Fossil Site, a sinkhole that was discovered in 1979 that was found to contain bones of Pleistocene animals and bones and artifacts of early humans.

    Lovely museum!
    Lovely museum!
    My partner and I visited while in Miami, the aquarium was great, we could have watched the sharks all day! The planetarium was fun too.
    Other than that it’s a fairly simple, very interactive place! Good for kids!
    Does make me realise how lucky I am to have amazing, free museums in the UK though.
    Worth a visit.

    Learned more about the area
    There are two buildings of exhibits. If you are mainly interested in learning about the area - I suggest you go to the second building first. Also if you park at the multilevel parking garage across the street from the museum you can have your ticket stamped and only pay $5.

    Great music, art and drinks in Little Havana
    This venue on Calle Ocho is very friendly. Pablo, the host, goes out his way to share the history of Little Havana to guests. The artwork covering the walls of this bar is beautiful and full of historical significance. The live music was joyful and fun. They serve excellent mojitos.

    Contemporary Art
    We were looking for a contemporary art museum and this was a hit. Fun kinetic experiential art with lots to see. Get there early for parking, very popular.

    One of the best museum tours I have ever had.
    The Bay of Pigs Museum is excellent! My brother and I visited when we were in Miami. In the museum we were given a tour by two great people. One was the sister of a participant in the Bay of Pigs and the other was one of the young men trained by the CIA to participate in the Bay of Pigs. We got to hear firsthand from the tour guide that was held prisoner by the Castro regime for a year. He told us about the prisons, the incompetence of the U.S. government in planning the ill-fated invasion and about life under the Castro regime. In just two hours we learned so much! This place is truly a treasure! As an added bonus, admission was free.

    I strongly recommend this place to any traveler who finds themselves in Miami.

    Super blue
    This art exhibit was really cool! The digital art on the walls you could sort of interact with. For instance, if you touched a flower on the wall, it would then die. It did not work for me, but it worked for others I saw! The other room was really cool too! I wish they only let in a certain amount of people at a time because it would’ve been cooler if there were less people in the room for better videos. The two best parts of this museum were the cloud room and the mirror room. The cloud room was so cool! It was like you were walking around amongst the clouds! And if your friend does not go in with you they can see you on the outside by some windows. The mirror room was awesome as well you were surrounded by mirrors mirrors and mirrors! Great for photos and videos! I even ran into some corners which was cool. Lol! One experience I totally did not get at all. It was like you were staring at a big wall of light. I was waiting for something to happen. Nothing happened. And everyone’s just staring at it for a whole minute. I was like “what are we looking at?” Another downside, and I hate to say it, but it was the people that worked there. I would try to make a joke with them, and they were all just very negative, very not happy people. I thought at first it was just the guy that was at the desk that charged us admission, but then the next guy we ran into in the first room giving directions was the same way as well as the girl that I talked to to buy my ticket for the cloud room. I wanted to say if you don’t like your job leave. But I don’t know if they actually get paid or are volunteers. Maybe it’s a toxic environment to work in. I don’t know. But that’s the only reason I gave this a four instead of a five…BUT I do highly recommend going to this museum if you’re in town. It was a really cool experience! Just don’t talk to the people that work there much🤣.
