The Miami edit
Ticket guideMiami Ticket guide
Choose the cruise if you want an overview with less walking and enjoy seeing a city from the water. The contrast between skyline, port activity and island waterfronts gives it a different perspective from a beach visit.
Allow: 90-minute cruise, plus early check-in
Ticket guideMiami Ticket guide
Choose this experience if you want a guided water-based introduction to the wetlands without organising a private excursion. Commentary can help explain the landscape during quieter observation sections as well as the faster ride.
Allow: Around 2–3 hours at the park, plus substantial travel
Ticket guideMiami Ticket guide
Choose Frost when your group enjoys varied activities and wants an indoor-focused day with some outdoor movement. The different spaces can help maintain interest, particularly when visitors do not all enjoy the same style of exhibit.
Allow: Around 3–4 hours
Ticket guideMiami Ticket guide
Choose a guided food experience when you want context for what you taste and help connecting several stops. It can be more useful than choosing restaurants solely from photographs without understanding their place in the neighbourhood.
Allow: About 3 hours, plus arrival
Ticket guideMiami Ticket guide
Choose this experience when you want both interpretation and tasting stops. Walking gives you time to notice building details between restaurants rather than seeing the neighbourhood only through a vehicle window.
Allow: Around 2.5–3 hours; confirm the booked departure

Choose Vizcaya if you enjoy architectural detail, decorative settings and time outdoors. Moving between the house and gardens gives the visit a different rhythm from a gallery-only museum.
Allow: A half-day block including transport

Choose the zoo if your group enjoys an extended outdoor day and is willing to walk at a relaxed pace. Families can combine animal viewing with the listed children's play areas and breaks, rather than trying to move continuously from opening to closing.
Allow: About 4–5 hours, plus travel
