Free Museums in Kings Bay

"The Perez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science are both near Brickell, and they’re adjacent to the sprawling Museum Park. If you opt for the science museum, don’t miss the planetarium show!. Afterward, relax at Museum Park, and watch the cruise ships sail away between 4 pm and 6 pm."

"The PAMM is much more than just a building that holds a collection of art, it is a reflection of its community. The Pérez Art Museum Miami was the first of the art museums in Miami to embrace modern and contemporary art. The exhibits continually change as the diverse culture of Miami evolves."

"The café and the boutique Pamm are really cool too, so plan enough time to explore it all. If sunny, the Museum Park is perfect for a nap under a palm tree."

"‘Instagram walls’ have become extremely popular on the ‘gram in recent years, so if you’re looking for some colorful wall content to keep you going for the next few months, Wynwood is the place to go. Situated in Miami’s Art District — renowned for its murals — Wynwood Walls is an outdoor museum showcasing graffiti and street art from some of the world’s most talented artists. From cartoon artwork to multi-colored murals, it’s definitely one of the most Instagrammable places in Miami!"

"One of the most photographed locations in Miami, Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard. Artist-led tours are available, but it’s free to simply explore on your own. What invariably bowls people over is the sheer exuberant colors and commanding presence of the murals, which only tend to be around for less than a year before they are painted over."

"Aspiring artists will love this collection of huge, brightly-colored murals located in Miami's former warehouse district. Pro tip: visit the murals during the day in order to avoid the rowdy crowds and don't forget to give your child a camera to document their favorite art.

"Long before Wynwood became an international art-hub, before places like the PAMM opened its doors, the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami was doing its part to bring contemporary art into the lives of all Miamians. Opened in 1996, the museum in its current state is now entering its 24th year and puts on 8 to 10 exhibitions annually. Notable artists like Anna Gaskell, Louise Bourgeois, Roy Lichtenstein, Annette Messager, and Frank Stella have all enjoyed either exhibitions or solo shows of their work in the halls of the MoCA NoMi."

"The privately funded luxury collection of Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz finally got a name as the de la Cruz Collection in Miami, designed by John Marquette. The de la Cruz art museum, established in 2009, has been the home of the art-lovers for more than three decades, and now they have opened it for the public to encourage the free flow of artistic thoughts in the neighborhood. Covering an area of 30,000 square feet, the gallery is stuffed with contemporary art exhibits and also organizes lectures, summer workshops, and scholarships for students at DASH and NWSA."

"Think back on the Miami of a year ago, when nobody was sure if our city’s meteoric ride to the top of the American food scene would survive the pandemic’s brutal wrath. Flash forward to now, and even in the height of summer, snagging a reservation at a top restaurant is a tough feat, like Art Basel just kept on going right into hurricane season. Whether or not our restaurant renaissance continues is anyone’s guess, but for now we can all revel in a year that’s seen week after week of world-class openings."

"The chocolate brigadeiro cake at Sagrado Cafe is an indulgent combination of moist layers of chocolate cake and brigadeiros, Brazil's signature truffle. Thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the truffle mixture, the cake remains moist despite the absence of frosting. To add to the richness, mini brigadeiros top the whole thing ($8 to $69 depending upon the size)."

"With an enchanted garden atmosphere, this Brazilian café in downtown Miami is a great place for family bonding time. Kids' meals ($14) start with a sharable warm basket of gluten-free cheese bread and a choice of soda or juice. Then it's on to their own plate of chicken Milanese, served with a side of rice, fries, or mac 'n' cheese."

"Skybar's glamorous, welcoming spaces, located in the notorious Shore Club, one of the most unique hotels on South Beach, act as a magnet for the unabashedly chic and famous. From the gorgeous, dramatic Redroom, activity spills out the back door, into a lush garden, then to a poolside lounge, and finally to the beach itself. Accented with handcrafted lanterns, vibrant textiles, rich beading, tropical foliage and imported furniture, the lounge is designed to seduce â€" and it succeeds brilliantly. You'll quite possibly lose all sense of time and place, which is quite all right. No one wants you to leave before you're ready to go, and that will quite possibly be right around sunrise, which is beautiful coming up on the beach here."

"South Beach offers an exciting selection of daytime and nighttime opportunities that are truly unlike anything you’ll experience elsewhere. You’ll soon see why booking a night at the Shore Club on South Beach – situated in the heart of Ocean Drive’s promenade and a 10-minute walk from Lincoln Road – is the best way to experience the melting pot of culture and excitement that is Miami. This ultra-chic hotel offers all-new amenities, pools, lounges and a complimentary breakfast, which you can enjoy on the sunlit terraces of the in-house Italian restaurant."

"There are some great marine life exhibits at the park as well which you can catch in-between shows or at the end. One of the most popular ones is the Tropical Reef Aquarium which is a huge salt-water aquarium teeming with life... thousands of tropical fish, stingrays, moray eels, big fish, little fish, eagle rays..."
