The Top Things to See and Do in Miami

The Vizcaya Museum is a historic villa – first built in the 1910s – that once belonged to James Deering and served as his winter home. The main house features beautiful rooms that guests can walk through and décor that will amaze, including fresco ceilings from Tuscany and France, marble flooring, and stained-glass doors. There is also an enchanting garden that you can walk through and enjoy, and the museum creates a stunning photogenic backdrop. It also holds special events, including the “Gardens by Moonlight” event, a guided tour of the gardens, with wine and small bites served afterward.

You might not think the zoo would be a fun thing to check out, but it’s a good time for both tourists and natives alike. Zoo Miami is the largest and oldest zoological garden in Florida and is home to 900 animals. Voted as one of the top zoos in the U.S., its attractions include the camel encounter, water-play areas, the giraffe feeding station, and boat rides. There’s a lot to see here, so set aside a whole day for this attraction!
