    Excellent spot with its art themed large streets and food heaven in Miami. Contemporary art as it's finest, best creativity murals as you can enjoy.

    Monkey Jungle was founded in the 1930s and is still owned by the same family. It really is a hidden gem located outside Miami Proper. We were able to spend about 2.5 hours there wondering around the lush grounds. Everything is super clean and well maintained. There are of course monkeys, but also some reptiles that will get your attention, and several bird species. We attended three different informational shows . It was fun to feed the tortoises and the iguana , along with learning their histories. You can also purchase packets of dried fruit to place in bowls for the monkeys to retrieve. . The staff are very friendly and are full of great information . (I believe there are over 400 monkeys on property). We even got to see one swim ! I definitely suggest stopping in. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

    What I found is a little bit of heaven! Small beach in a shelter area. Overlooking Biscayne Bay and the city of Miami but without the traffic. A restaurant.The park offers Kayak and Paddle Board rentals and has walking trails and a Marina. Nice place to ride your bike or walking among nature. Entrance fee is $5 on weekdays and $7 on weekends.

    This morning, we had a fantastic experience at Deering Estates! Their representative Jessica's knowledge of the grounds and passion for the place really made a difference. It's wonderful to see someone so dedicated to supporting our group and hobby. Deering Estates is a great spot for family visits and community support. Thank you Jessica !!!!!!!

    Architect Jose Esteves guided our group of architects from Brazil with great dedication, showing us old and contemporary buildings in downtown Miami. All of his explanations were accompanied by the context of the projects, behind-the-scenes details, and lots of useful information. Even for those who are not in the field of architecture, the historical information is of great interest and will arouse curiosity in those who can enjoy the company of the very friendly Jose.

    The Miami tower is this city's iconic skyscraper built in a semicircular shape. It's the edifice upon which you easily recognize the Miami skyline, just like the Empire State in NY.
    During the day its blue glass panels shine on Florida sun, while at night it's illuminated with changing colors what's a very nice scene.
    During my previous visit 12y ago it was a Bank of America tower, while this time I didn't see that sign. Neither I saw the possibility to access the top floor, which would be a nice tourist attraction, as it's one of the highest bldgs in Miami.

    Stopped here during a food tour of Little Havana. Mr. Galnza is an excellent and welcoming artist. He produces products in a range of styles and prices. It is great to have a combination artist studio and Tavern.

    We came here to do the zombie lab room! The host we had ( a guy, can’t remember the name) he was amazing! He made the whole experience even better than we thought it would be. We struggled a bit as there was only 2 of us but it was brilliant! Definitely want to come back to do another room!

    We have been coming to ZWF for years, and every experience is wonderful. We appreciate how well kept the grounds and enclosures are. The animals seem very comfortable and it’s really amazing getting to see so many animals up close and even interact with some. The children have so much fun, and the guides make the experience really enjoyable. We’ll be back again next time we’re in Miami! It’s an experience like none other!

    Ricky was awesome. He set us up nicely and got us going on our quest. It was a super cool set up and very entertaining. We bonded and had tons of fun. Unfortunately, we were just shy of solving the puzzle as the time ran out. Definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area. Ask for Ricky, he resonates dope vibes and is funny af. Overall 10/10

    Excellent option for corporate/work groups in Miami. This was a fantastic way to get away from our hotel and bond as a group, while experiencing such a unique part of Miami. Our guide, Orlando, kept the energy up throughout the entire tour (even on a pretty humid day!), and was incredibly personable in sharing his personal story with all of us. Each stop was great, with immediate service and very tasty food + drinks. Good variety of businesses, on a route that didn't require a ton of walking for a group with mixed abilities and heat tolerances. Really appreciate this small taste — literal and figurative — Orlando gave our travel group!

    This was an incredible experience and one of the highlights of our Florida visit and located just 40 minutes from Miami Airport. When you book you are sent directions to the starting point which is a slipway remote from any habitation (there is a service station about 10 minutes away). Being slightly concerned that we might have difficulty finding it we arrived 30 minutes early which allowed us to talk to Captain Roby about the Everglades, his life in them and his passion for the conservation of them. We had decided that we would take the 90 minute tour as 60 minutes seemed a little short and it was totally the right decision. The Air Boat they use can accommodate about 6 people and there were four of us on this tour being on a small boat meant that we could go to areas the larger boats couldn’t go to and there was an intimacy and authenticity that cannot be achieved with larger vessels. We found Alligators almost immediately and with the boat being so small you were almost within touching distance of them (not that you would obviously). We had several more stops with wildlife at all of them and Captain Roby was happy to explain the ecosystem, food chain and how the invasive pythons are damaging it. The highlight for me though was the sense of freedom and total relaxation as you glided over the river of grass, You get something from this tour that you wont get from the big commercial boats and that something what makes this tour special.
