Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Leisure City

"In the midst of rusted warehouses and concrete blah, there's a pastel-and-graffiti explosion of urban art. Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard that invariably bowls people over with its sheer color profile and unexpected location. What’s on offer tends to change with the coming and going of major arts events such as Art Basel, but it's always interesting stuff."

"Start your Wynwood adventure at the Wynwood Walls, home to dozens of murals by the world’s top street artists. The murals change regularly, so the next time you visit Miami, many of them will be different. It’s easy to spend an hour or more wandering through the murals and the galleries connected to the Walls."

"Our last day was spent at the creative Wynwood Walls art exhibit. Beautiful mosaics are spread across a few blocks on streets and on buildings, even on the sidewalks!"

"This popular weekend spot is one of America’s largest kids’ museums – and every inch of the space is dedicated to teaching youngsters about the world around them. With 14 galleries spread over two floors, there’s an exhibit to spark every type of tot’s imagination ($22/adult). Find out more about Miami Children’s Museum"

"Whether it's raining or just too hot, head inside to enjoy the air conditioning of the Miami Children's Museum. You'll find hands-on exhibitions including a play cruise ship, supermarket, and even a kids-sized television studio. A post shared by Juliette V (@jvulpetti) on Jan 20, 2017 at 7:57pm PST"

"On the edge of South Beach, South Pointe Park offers 360-degree views of the ocean and plenty of sailing cruise ship sightings as this is where vessels reach the Port of Miami. The park, with its neatly planted palm trees and perfectly kept lawns, features a kids playground, plenty of sidewalk room to skateboard, a dog park, a romantic pier where folks gather along to fish and of course – the beach."

"Many places serve ice cream in Miami, but Azucar Ice Cream Co. is an award-winning, neighborhood treasure serving up Cuban ice cream from its Little Havana shop. Sourcing local ingredients from farmer's markets and even from fruit stands down the block, Azucar is a cool tribute to the owners "abuela" (grandmother). Ice cream flavors include sunset-colored mamey, creamy avocado with condensed milk, sweet pink guava and sorbets made only with the juiciest mangos, were all grandma's favorites."

"From Italian gelato to Argentine helado to Coney Island frozen custard, warm-weather destinations inspire great takes on ice cream. And Miami is no different with its sabor latino, ideally sampled at Azucar Ice Cream Company. The shop specializes in tropical flavors, including sweet plantain, mantecado (Cuban vanilla), coconut flan, guava, avocado and the signature Abuela Maria, vanilla swirled with ruby-red guava, cream cheese and chopped Maria cookies."

"With a rotating board of fresh ice creams made daily, Azucar is the go-to spot for a sweet treat in Little Havana. There are more than 100 flavors, from originals like the Abuela Maria, which has a vanilla base mixed with guava, cream cheese, and crispy galletas, to classics like chocolate. The Miami sun can be pretty brutal, and Azucar’s ice creams are probably the perfect way to cool down."

"If you are in Miami and want to catch a baseball game, head over to the brand new loanDepot park in Little Havana. Home to MLB’s Miami Marlins, this relatively small and new park features a retractable roof and one of the most modern designs in all of Major League Baseball. The park can hold over 36,000 fans, has great views of downtown Miami, and even has massive fish tanks along the backstop that remind you exactly what city you are in."

"Made a order through grub hub and the order arrived with half my order missing. The burger had half of the top bun missing..."

"This place has great Cuban food, but what its known for is the creamy, cold, refreshing ice cream and batidos (Cuban milkshakes). It’s a little hole in the wall, but look behind the bars on the windows, and walk right up to la ventana to get yourself one of the best mamey milkshakes in town. Pop a squat on the benches outside and take in the deliciousness."

"A large park hidden within the enclave of Morningside, the area's namesake park is a great neighborhood park, with tons of room to run and climb trees and a variety sports facilities."

"Entirely hidden from the nearby Rickenbacker Causeway, Alice Wainwright Park is a simple waterfront park with swaying palms on a tree-lined residential street, with the added feature of Coral Gables' magnificent cliffs."

"This speakeasy-inspired bar in Coral Gables looks to classic New Orleans watering holes for inspiration. When you walk through the nondescript door, you'll find a lounge area with red leather couches. The space opens to the main room, resplendent with a mahogany bar lined with leather-upholstered stools."

"Tucked amongst the verdant foliage and gurgling fountains of the Wynwood’s serene Sacred Space, Plant’s soothing aesthetic and bright, beautiful dishes are a perfect match for its surroundings. Thoughtful takes on global dishes dominate the menu, like Thai coconut ceviche, adobo-rubbed mamey asado and cannelloni composed of kale pesto and almond herb cheese. The restaurant’s ethical ethos extends to its ingredients – most of its produce is sourced from Paradise Farms, Plant’s certified-organic sister property located a few miles south in Homestead."

"Plant is an eclectic plant-based concept temporarily located within The Sacred Space Miami. Heralded by executive chef Horacio Rivadero and pastry Chef Veronica Manolizi, the restaurant prides itself on being the most sustainable in the industry. The innovative dishes are inspired by the nature of South Florida, and indeed each plate is a true form of art featuring only locally harvested produce."

"Despite its name, DIRT offers clean eating and great taste on one plate. Their farm-to-counter policy is what attracts vegans all over Florida and makes it one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami Beach. The majority of their menu is vegan, but they also offer vegetarian and paleo options."

"A fun and totally FREE activity to do while visiting Miami Beach is the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Here you’ll find all the lush tropical vibes that will make you feel like you stepped right into a jungle. And of course you’ll find all sorts of instagrammable corners!"

"2000 Convention Center DriveMiami Beach, FL 3319(305) 673-7256. The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is 2.6 acres of greens. It was founded in 1962."

"Cane a Sucre is a gourmet sandwich bar that fuses French heritage with locally-popular Cuban flavors for a meal you'll die for. Their traditional salads and soups pair perfectly with sammys, all made on hot or lightly-toasted French baguettes. Our favorite is the Le Parisian, where tender ham mingles with brie and vine-ripened tomatoes."

"If you’re looking for a choice sandwich or salad, this is the place to get your fix. They have takes on classic sandwiches like Cuban and club sandwiches, but also an extensive mix of burgers and a solid selection of coffee and espresso drinks. Cane a Sucre also serves up breakfast until 11 a.m."
