Five Places to Visit in Miami
Author: SamFor a perfect escape from winter and for true relaxtion, there are few better places than South Florida and the city of Miami. With just the click of a mouse, you’ll find a place to stay that provides luxurious spas and some of the world’s most dazzling beaches just outside the doors. You might be content to stay at the hotel all day and never venture out to the internationally known South Beach and its Art Deco District. You might be perfectly content to stay by the pool all day and not even see the ocean; however, for those who like to explore the world a bit, you’ll find that Miami has a great number of fascinating places to experience. Here’s five places you should take a look at while in Miami.
The first place would be South Beach itself; this isn’t just about the beach, but about shopping and entertainment. It’s quintessential Miami. For number two, I’d say take a trip out into the Everglades. This National Park is one of the nation’s most unusual, with 1.5 million acres of swamps and jungles and prairies, it’ll definitely take more than an afternoon! Three and Four? Go check out the wildlife at the Sequarium and the Miami MetroZoo. It’s ideal for families, as is the Miami Museum of Science. I’m a big proponent of this fifth place to go. If I have a chance to promote the world of science, I want to take that opportunity. Currently, the museum is featuring Cabaret Mechanical Theater, which are about forty mechanized and amusing puppets that activate at the touch of a button. There’s also the planetarium here, too, which has some amazing programs that provide a look into outer-space, with over five different planetarium shows a day.
Whether you lounge in your room, hit the beach or the stores, or take a hovercraft into the Everglades, Miami has something for just about everyone. If these five spots don’t work for you, there’s plenty more. And doesn’t a trip to Florida sound pretty good, especially in February when the temperature outside is thirty-three degrees, and in Miami, it’s hovering in the seventies!
