South Florida is full of exciting opportunities to involve the whole family; whether its outdoor activities to art galleries and museums, kids will have as much fun as their parents do on vacation. Now more than ever SoFlo offers events and festivals that are family friendly as summer vacation draws close.
Check out the Miami Children’s Museum and have the kids participate in educational hands-on exhibits or ride a camel around Zoo Miami for a one-of-a-kind experience. Dig those toes in the sand in one of South Florida's state parks or hop on a tour of the Everglades if your little kid wants to see the underwater world from the deck. In this city, the kids can play just as much as the adults!
Step into the jungle and get a VIP tour of the island, or join in the lemur experience for some behind-the-scenes fun!
It's ok to monkey around at Zoo Miami- walk among giants with "Dinosaurs Live!," featuring larger-than-life animatronic dinos, play all day at Zoofari Summer Camp for kids and discover many other things to see and do on the zoo's rotating schedule of events.
Take a bike tour around the city while learning some local insider information about the neighborhoods, the city's history and more. There are also coach, walking and eco-history tours available.
Set up early and plan to spend the day at this amazing park. Grab a canoe and glide through a mangrove forest, camp in the Florida wilderness or try your hand at any of the other outdoor activities Oleta Park offers.
Have the kids try out the Sketch Aquarium, an interactive virtual aquarium where their drawings become digitized and are brought to life. Or step into the Wellness Center and let your children test out their medical skills!
Have you ever held a baby alligator? Maybe it's time you do. Try something new at Gator Park; hop on an airboat tour across the Everglades or watch a live animal show just a few feet in front of you.
With so much to see and do, your little one will be entertained all day long. Walking through the shops and markets, you'll find plenty of interesting toys and things to look at. Check out the speedboat tour on the Bayside marina if your child is on the adventurous side.
Let your kids spend all their energy bouncing around in a trampoline-filled room with obstacle courses! As well as having a great time in Miami, why not spend a day of your vacation getting some exercise too?
