Miami Children’s Museum

Just a short drive from most MakVacation rentals, the Miami Children’s Museum features hands-on exhibits designed to spark creativity and curiosity. From a kid-sized supermarket to an interactive cruise ship, this spot is perfect for younger children who love to explore.

Jungle Island

Located between Downtown and South Beach, Jungle Island is home to exotic animals, live shows, and zip-lining adventures. It’s a great spot for animal-loving kids and offers a mix of educational and adrenaline-fueled fun.

Zoo Miami

As one of the best zoos in the country, Zoo Miami features wide, open-air exhibits and over 3,000 animals from around the world. The zoo is stroller-friendly, and families can rent safari cycles to ride together while exploring.

Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

This stunning museum includes a planetarium, aquarium, and dozens of interactive science exhibits that kids (and adults) will love. It’s just across the bay and well worth the short trip from your vacation rental.

South Pointe Park

This scenic waterfront park in South Beach features a playground, splash zone, wide walking paths, and picnic areas, making it a favorite for local and visiting families alike. It’s also a great place to catch ships sailing out of the Port of Miami.

Venetian Pool (Coral Gables)

A historic public pool carved from a coral rock quarry, the Venetian Pool is unlike any other. With waterfalls, grottos, and a shallow area for kids, it’s a fun and unique place to cool off in style.

Crandon Park (Key Biscayne)

This quiet beach park features calm, shallow waters perfect for younger swimmers. There’s also a nature center, playgrounds, and plenty of shaded spots for a low-key beach day close to the city.
