South Beach
South Beach is the Miami hot spot. From shopping to partying, this area of Miami Beach is well-known for being a trendy locale. South Beach has grown to include the area from 23rd Street all the way down to South Pointe and stretches from tha Atlantic coastline about ¼ mile west to Biscayne Bay.
Miami Metrozoo
Miami MetroZoo is now one of the best zoos in the U.S. Our Miami climate allows the zoo to keep a wide variety of animals from Asia, Australia and Africa that others cannot house. One of the first free-range zoos in the country, the exhibits are 100% cageless. Animals are grouped according to geographic territory and to better replicate nature, animals that live together peacefully in the wild are placed together in exhibits. The park is large so to take full advantage, rent yourself one of the covered bikes. You won't regret it. As an added bonus, parking is free!
Seaquarium
The Miami Seaquarium is located in beautiful Key Biscayne (probably the crown-jewel of Miami) on the causeway east of downtown Miami and south of Miami Beach. It's a fabulous stop where you can witness an outdoor aquarium experience that's only possible in our tropical climate. Be sure to budget enough time to spend a full day and try to catch the what and dolphin shows.
Everglades
With 1.5 million acres of swamps, saw-grass prairies and sub-tropical jungles, Everglades National Park is one of the most unusual public parks in the United States. Located on the southern tip of Florida, the park is home to rare and endangered species including the American Crocodile, the Florida Panther and the West Indian Manatee. Uncommonly, most of the park is primitive, explored only by adventurists and researchers but visitors have ample opportunity to walk, camp, canoe and enjoy an opportunity to see unspoiled nature.

Parrot Jungle Island
Parrot Jungle Island offers visitors a fun, educational opportunity to get an up-close look at tropical birds in replicas of their natural habitats. The attraction routinely hosts field trips and offers frequent educational programs.
Monkey Jungle
Where the humans are caged and the monkeys run wild. It's more than a catch-phrase. Monkey Jungle in southern Miami-Dade County is a truly unique park. While homo sapiens walk through carefully constructed wire pathways, many species of primates scamper above your head, swing through trees and interact with each other in ways difficult to observe in captivity. Keep your eyes open; you never know who's hanging around!
Coral Castle
Coral Castle is truly a monument to the uniqueness of Miami! This attractions was built by a Latvian-born Miami resident named Ed Leedskalnin as a monument to his lover. After 28 years of effort, he introduced his 1100-ton coral creation to the world. It's a bit of a trip from downtown, but well worth the time.
Vizcaya
No visit to Miami is complete without a stop at the historical 50-acre Vizcaya estate. This European-style mansion offers a glimpse at life in turn-of-the-century South Florida. It's also an extremely popular venue for galas, weddings and other entertainment events.
