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

July 28, 2021 Sheron Bogner

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.

A modern architectural marvel where the NBA's Miami Heat play.

Reviewed By Obi1234 - Pembroke Pines, United States

Still one of my favorite basketball venues. Maybe I just love the heat. But I always find parking within 10 mins walking distance for cheap and the amenities are great with both drinks and food available. The atmosphere is fun and definitely gets you in the mood for a great game or concert. Worth the trip even for poor seats.

Wynwood Walls

Open to the public, free of charge the Wynwood Walls was established in 2009 by the legendary placemaker and visionary Tony Goldman as an outdoor museum of international street art. Since the first year's program - featuring Kenny Scharf, Futura, Os Gemeos, Swoon, Shepard Fairey, and other renowned innovators in street art, Wynwood Walls has become a phenomenon, spurring the creation of murals throughout the Wynwood district. It is now one of the best venues in the world to see the work of leading street artists. In 2010, the adjacent Wynwood Doors, with 176 feet of roll-up storefront gates was added and most recently the Wynwood Walls Garden, an open green space featuring five murals was included in the space. Each year, a selection of international artists - that range from old school graffiti artists to newer innovators- have created artwork for the Wynwood Walls. In 2012, Wynwood Walls celebrated Art Basel with a series of events dedicated to the vision of Tony Goldman who passed that September. Since that time, the project has been curated by Tony's daughter, Goldman Properties CEO Jessica Goldman Srebnick. Miami's now world renowned open air "museum of the streets" continues to attract visitors from around the world and currently encompasses more than 40 dazzling, cutting-edge murals created by respected street artists from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States.

I had heard about Wynwood Walls but this blew away my expectations and I don't consider myself an art connoisseur by any means. It's free of charge and there are multiple city blocks covered with amazing works of art by so many different talented artists. Grab a bite before/after or get a coffee to walk through. It's well worth it. You can book an official tour as well or just mosey through and see the murals at your own pace (that's what we did). Great for the whole family! Set aside an 1-2 hours if you want to see them all and not be rushed.
