The 21 best things to do in Miami with kids
"A waterfront Italian Renaissance-style villa on 10 acres might not be your first thought for a kid-friendly activity, but the beautiful gardens and over-the-top, fairy-tale architecture can captivate kids of all ages. Take a quick tour of the interior of the house and then head to the gardens; there's even a labyrinth and maze that's perfect for burning off energy. Pro tip: the Vizcaya Museum isn't the easiest to manage with a stroller, so keep that in mind."

He was looking for something big to transform the warehouse district of Wynwood, and he arrived at a simple idea:. “Wynwood’s large stock of warehouse buildings, all with no windows, would be my giant canvases to bring to them the greatest street art ever seen in one place."

"At the very northerly points of The Everglades, Sawgrass Recreation Park is perched right within the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Area. Not only that, it’s one of the easiest places to visit if you’re based in Fort Lauderdale (around 25-minutes from the city centre).
