Incredibly, Miami is a chic, multi-cultural, dynamic city... yet it is also a good place to raise a family, especially once you consider all the suburbs around Miami. How does the city pull this off? We don't know, but the magic formula definitely works.
It must be the fascinating plant and animal life, and unique experiences with nature, that make Miami a great place for children. Start your experience of Miami, and relax from the stress of moving, with a day at the beach. Whether you choose Bal Harbor, Miami, or Virginia Key Beach, as your first beach, you'll soon want to explore all of the white sand and hot sun Miami has to offer.
After the beaches, you should also discover the wilder side of south Florida. Try the Biscayne National Park, the only living coral reef in the country, for a glimpse at what sets this area apart as a living ecosystem. Zoo Miami, one of the best-respected zoos in the world, offers you an experience of unusual breadth and depth in connecting with animal life. Where else can you ride a camel (watch out, they spit) or see animals in an officially-designated botanical garden? If you're a little braver, get closer to south Florida's natives, the alligators, at the Everglades Alligator Farm. There, you can hold young alligators and snakes, which as your kids will say, is "way cool."
Grown-ups can learn a lot from a simple walk around the block in this historic city. Start with the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, to understand the early twentieth century in Miami--and simply enjoy a day in a breathtakingly beautiful home on the bay. The Coral Gables Merrick House is even older, from the turn of the twentieth century, and speaks to Miami's early history as an enclave of the rich and famous.
In Miami, culture and education in the fine arts are not left to the past, either. The Miami City Ballet is one of the city's hidden riches. Praised by dance connoisseurs around the country, attending a show by this renowned company inevitably leads to an enjoyable and elegant evening. Other dance companies include the Ballet Flamenco La Rosa. Much of Miami has a Latin accent--especially the arts and culture. Here dancers from around the world gather to strut their stuff at the World Latin Dance Cup.
Visual and architectural art abound as well. The Art Deco district of Miami is the best place to get acquainted with the unique timbre of Miami an art and architecture. The Museum of Contemporary Art is always interesting to visit--however, prepare for art that will push your boundaries, no matter how well-versed you are in modern art. In contrast, the Miami Art Museum allows you to get acquainted with the art world at a more comfortable pace. As a bonus, every other Saturday the museum opens its doors specifically to families--for free.
