A sunny city in a sunny state, but Miami is about far more than just the beach!

If you’re about to head to Miami with the family you’re probably already searching for kid-friendly activities to enjoy together. It’s vital when traveling as a family you factor in plenty of fun for the little ones, to keep them occupied and to avoid tantrums! Of course, keeping your child active and focused on fun during the day will also ensure a better night’s sleep when evening rolls around. 

So, for your upcoming Miami trip, be sure to check out these fantastic child-friendly activities. 

PHILLIP & PATRICIA FROST MUSEUM OF SCIENCE

In this huge museum, Children won’t feel like they’re learning, which is the ideal blend! Packed with hands-on, interactive fun, children can learn about the human body, the underwater world, and everything you can think of related to science. It’s a full day out and adults will love it too!

MIAMI CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

A museum especially for children is the ideal spot to spend a few hours and here your little ones will be able to explore with total freedom. The best thing about this museum is that it allows your children to explore the adult world in miniature form. Check out the tiny shops and banks! Local schools often take their classes here for day excursions and that’s for a very good and educational reason. 

TIDAL COVE

Located at Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa, this huge waterpark will certainly be a hit with your little ones and spans a huge 4000 square feet. Suitable for children of all ages, there are rides, splash slides, and even a lazy river. This is certainly a full day out and one which will tire out your little ones. 

BILL BAGGS CAPE FLORIDA STATE PARK

Not only is this a spot for seriously beautiful nature but it’s going to keep your kids occupied for hours too. Located right at the end of Key Biscayne, there is space to run freely and wildlife everywhere you look. Check out the huge lighthouse and the cycling opportunities to wear out little legs!

ZOO MIAMI

This huge zoo is one of the largest of its kind and it’s packed with more than 2000 different species to visit! If you’ve ever wanted to feed a giraffe, this is the spot for you, as well as giving your little ones the chance to enjoy a camel ride too. The great thing about Zoo Miami is that there are no cages, so animals roam free with waterways to keep them away from visitors. 

MATHESON HAMMOCK PARK

Of course, a day on the beach is something all children love to do and Miami gives you plenty of opportunities. If you have small children, Matheson Hammock Park is a good choice in terms of water safety but you won’t struggle to find a sandy spot with plenty of fun to keep everyone occupied throughout the day. 

LITTLE HAVANA 

Miami is a melting pot of cultures and it’s certainly embraced the Cuban feel! Little Havana is a wonderful spot to visit and children will love the delicious street food on offer. The streets are colorful with pastel houses and music at every turn. A must visit!
