Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Miami, Florida (FL)

May 2, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

Miami is hot hot hot! And it’s not just the sultry weather. Here, the nightlife is scorching, thanks to a strong Latin influence and spicy salsa culture. Dance the noche away in a nightclub, or indulge in a fancy meal at one of the city’s celebrity-owned restaurants. By day, hit the beach of course, or have yourself a walkabout, taking in Miami’s colorful art deco architecture. Grab a Cuban sandwich in Little Havana, then ride the vintage carousel at Virginia Key Beach Park.

We had the best time at the zoo. We went during the week so some attractions were closed but overall had a great time. Best part was that we could rent a bike to travel around the zoo which was something fun for the kids to do without over heating by walking around.

This is a great stop - staff was very helpful (alerted us to possible manatee sighting in the tidal basin, which turned out to be true!). Unlike Vizcaya up the road (the estate of the other Deering brother), on a weekday we could wander here without any crowding. Do go upstairs in the house - the bedrooms and baths are very authentic to the time, and many items owned by the family are still onsite (or have been returned to the house). Gardens aren't as extensive as Vizcaya, and mangrove boardwalk was still broken when we visited. Do walk to the Chinese bridge about a mile from the house. All in all, a lovely stop with very nice and helpful people. One constructive suggestion - the explanatory postings on the art could be more helpful about dates and sources of the work.

We finished at Cuba Ocho after a walking tour with Analise - she told us the history and we learnt all about the beautiful artwork. We had our first cocktail there that afternoon and the band was playing! We loved it so much we returned with friends and had an amazing night - the music is just fantastic and watching those that can, Salsa dance. Loved every moment.
