If you haven’t heard, we’re hitting the high seas! Sailing with the Scotts ships out from Miami, Florida, on December 3, 2018. Plan to arrive a few days early (or make a separate trip) to soak up all the sun, sand, and fun the Magic City has to offer. Here are six family-friendly places to check out while you’re in Miami.
01
FUNDIMENSION
FunDimension offers a dizzying array of activities for everyone in your family. Take your pick from laser tag, a spin zone, a 7-D theater, an indoor playground, an interactive arcade, and bungee dome, and more. Photo courtesy of FunDimension

EVERGLADES ALLIGATOR FARM
Getting up close and personal with an gator might not be at the top of your to-do list, but think of Everglades Alligator Farm as a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience for your family. You can also interact with snakes, lizards, and emus. Photo courtesy of Everglades Alligator Farm

VIZCAYA MUSEUM & GARDENS
The famous Vizcaya estate is anchored by a historic 34-room mansion, but the real treat is outside. While the adults swoon over the beautifully maintained gardens, the kids will have a field day tearing through the hedge maze. Photo courtesy of Tim Heslop

WYNWOOD WALLS

Since 2009, residents and tourists alike have been flocking to the colorful Wynwood Walls to admire street art from international artists. We can’t think of a more dynamic Miami family photo op!

FLAMINGO PARK
South Beach’s Flamingo Park is a must-visit if your little ones have extra energy to burn. While it lacks actual flamingos, there are pools, tennis and basketball courts, and an expansive Tot Lot for a no-planning-required day of fun. Photo courtesy of South Florida Finds

PHILLIP AND PATRICIA FROST MUSEUM OF SCIENCE
This science museum is only a year old and has already made its mark on Miami. Whether your kids make a beeline for the planetarium or the aquarium, they’ll be dazzled. (And they might even get photobombed by a shark!) Photo courtesy of Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science
