CheckersMidwest Posted March 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2018 We loved the Hop On Hop Off tour in Miami. Great things to see. We used that as our mode of transportation to South Beach. Walked around the area, had lunch, shopped, went to the beach. In the evening we went to Bubba Gumps Shrimp Factory that was across from our hotel in an outdoor shopping / entertainment area. I can't remember the name! Someone else will I'm sure...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted March 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Skip The Everglades in the summer. It's the hottest place on earth and the mosquitoes are Jurassic sized. Sawgrass Mills is the largest discount mall in the US. 14 anchor stores. Zoo Miami Parrot Jungle Venetian Pool Deering Estate Miami Sea Aquarium Fairchild Botonical Gardens Honestly, when I was 11 all I wanted to do was hang out at the beach and watch boys. Marriott Harbor Beach and any Ritz Carlton will have excellent kids programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flymia Posted March 3, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Might check the restaurant out and the bus for sure! That poster was talking about Bayside Market Place. Its a good place to hang out in the evening. I would not personally recommend Bubba Gump Shrimp when you are in Miami, but with a family with kids I could understand it. The list from Blueherons is good. I would add a few more options to the list: Zoo Miami Jungle Island Venetian Pool Deering Estate Miami Sea Aquarium Fairchild Botonical Gardens Gold Coast Railway Museum Snorkling in Biscayne National Park Vizcaya Bayside Market Place Boat tour of Biscayne Bay Lincoln Road Sawgrass Mills (Mall outlet huge) Aventura Mall (mall more up scale also huge) Little Havana Ocean Drive (to see and walk, don't eat there) Cape Florida Lighthouse And of course the beaches anywhere are great. It will be hot in the summer and it will rain. So plan outdoor things earlier in the day or towards the evening. 1-4pm is either crazy hot and humid or thunderstorms.

sandpiper35 Posted March 5, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Depending on how much time available a ride through the keys to Key West is very nice. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
