Before I visited Miami, I immediately thought of glitz, glam, fashion and nightlife. It wasn’t necessarily a destination that springs to mind for the family. However, there are lots of things to do in Miami with kids.
Based on the southern point of east coast of America, it has a strong Cuban influence. I feel embarrassed to point that out, but I honestly didn’t know 70% of people in Miami speak Spanish as a first language.
Apart from the bright lights, it felt like we never left Latin America. I hardly heard anyone speak English throughout our time in Miami with kids.
Miami is a big place that needs longer than a few nights to explore properly. Not to mention the surrounding areas. A trip to the Everglades or a Miami to Key West road trip is highly recommended.
There are not many places in the world with a beautiful beach and a fun city side by side. We highly recommend investing in a Miami Go City All-Inclusive Pass so you can see all the great things on offer.
We had decided to stop in Miami on our way to a cruise that left from the Miami Port. If you are doing the same, particularly if you are going to be jet lagged, it is worth allowing some time to explore before your onward journey.
Check out this list of amazing activities as well as hotel recommendations and family-friendly restaurants in Miami with kids.
The Best Kids Activity Miami
Table Of Contents
1. Frost Museum of Science
Frost Science Museum is one of the top picks amongst local families in Miami. The hotel receptionist suggested Frost Science was one of the best museums in Miami for kids.
Four buildings make up the enormous indoor educational playground. Everything from an aquarium to a planetarium is housed at the downtown waterfront museum.
There are lots of hands-on learning activities and workshops for kids.
With so much going on, it’s impossible to cover the entire area in one day. The aquarium was a real hit, featuring an impressive amount of species and a beautiful glass viewing tank.
The onsite restaurant can get quite busy but the food is good so is worth visiting for lunch a little earlier than the crowds.
A day at the museum is definitely one of the top Miami kid’s activities especially if you catch some rain on your trip and need some indoor time.

The Miami Children’s Museum is very unique. It was opened on Watson Island in September 2003. Since then, the museum runs different interactive exhibits and classes related to art, culture and community.
The idea is to get kids interested in learning by making it a fun and playful activity. Learning is not about a particular curricular subject.
Rather kids learn about their culturally diverse community, interaction, communication and other important skills while playing around, participating or just watching the exhibits of the museum.
Some exhibits like Sea and Me and the Ocean Odyssey are very popular among the kids. The exhibit educates about the world of sea creatures in a fun way.

Best Miami Hotel For Kids
The Palms Hotel and Spa
We stayed at the fabulous Palms Hotel and Spa. The elegant and luxurious accommodations attract a variety of guests. Everyone from families, to young groups of friends.
There is something for everyone at the beachfront. It’s not called The Palms for nothing. Tall lush green plants in the lobby make it feel like a tropical haven.
Elaborate chic doors, giant chandeliers, and the most beautiful scent create an airy, relaxed feel. The only issue with having such a lovely hotel is we didn’t want to venture far to explore Miami.
The centre point of the hotel is the outdoor swimming pool surrounded by cabana-style open massage rooms, colourful sun loungers and shades.
There are a couple of terraces facing onto the pool from the hotel restaurant and bar creating plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors whether it’s Al Fresco dining or sipping on a cocktail.
For rates and availability at the Palms, click here.
The Beach
There is direct access to the beach from the pool where the hotel serve guest. There are also loungers and shade.
The best part for families is the buckets and spades and a mountain of sand to give little ones a head start on making castles.
It’s literally the best location you could ask for in all of Miami. The views from our room on the 8th floor were stunning.
We pulled a chair up to the window as we were getting the kids off to sleep to enjoy a glass of wine and watch some windsurfers do their thing.
Environmental Initiatives
We are always very keen on hotels that do everything they can to protect the environment and contribute to sustainable travel.
The Palms Hotel has thought about everything from the personal cleansing products to the materials used in the furnishings.
It was heartwarming to learn they contribute to the local community through a non-profit organisation that supports food growing gardens.
They are very keen on organic and sustainably sourced products. The spa uses all Aveda products. They offer some amazing treatments. However, I found it hard to escape because of the kids. Instead, I had a mobile hair stylist come to our room during our stay.
Desperation set in after travelling around Central America for so long.
I found Eric on Yelp. He was so flexible and did an awesome job. Top tip if you need to be beautified for the Miami scene ;)
