Top 3 Attractions in Miami for Kids

Miami is currently seeing a continuing trend of becoming the mecca for artists and live entertainment. Before this, Miami is your regular beach town where people head to when they want to chill out with their loved ones or friends. Today, instead of being labelled a ‘beach town’, it is now an ‘artistic beach town’.

The thing with visiting Miami with the young ones in tow is that you can’t really bring them to art museums, especially not when it is a whole-day tour. So, here are some top spots to bring the kids to when you want to keep them occupied.

Enchanted With Santa’s Enchanted Forest

The wide, long, golden, sandy beaches may be what comes to mind when you think of Miami but there is really more to the guise than that. Strategically located along the Atlantic coast line in the southern part of Florida, it is the 42nd largest city in the United States, and boasts of 5.5 million people in the metropolis alone. And there is even more in the suburbs which are mostly located in parts of Florida’s former Everglades like the west of Biscayne Bay, Florida Bay and Lake Okeechobee.

If the kids aren’t enchanted with Florida’s beaches or if they have just about had enough of the sun, then perhaps they will be enchanted with Santa’s Enchanted Forest. Our bus rental customers in Miami Florida find their kids enchanted enough with this seasonal theme park.

Unique Places in Miami

Needless to say, there are lots of bus rental Miami tourist attractions all around the city, the endless sandy beaches, amazing all-year sunny weather, astonishingly vibrant nightlife and these are just the start of what you can expect from an amazing place like Miami. This tourist magnet hotspot is perfect for those who wants more than just a common beer or a occasional margarita. We think that things are just a little bit more explosively fun here in Miami because of the people that we encounter and get to know along the way. Suffice to say, the various culture is the eye-opener for us. A little bit of this and a little bit of that - combine them all together and you will get Miami.

For instance, nothing beats the culturally colorful Little Havana which is a part of Dade County. It is a hub for Cuban refugees back then as they flee from castro-controlled government back home. You would have thought that, over time, the Cubans would have adjusted to the American way of life and have discarded with their own culture. Not at all. Stepping into Little Havana during your bus rental Miami vacation is the closest to visiting Cuba as you can get without taking an actual flight there. There is just so much culture all around us as we walked about the unique buildings, street art, stores, restaurants and paintings on buildings. Truly unique and worth experiencing more than once in your lifetime.

Whenever we speak of visiting Miami in a bus rental Miami charter bus, we think of beaches very naturally. After all, Miami is one of those places that the earth has blessed with countless white sandy and seemingly endless beaches all over the place. So much so that our bus charter Miami customers have gone on to say that no vacation to Miami is considered complete without a bus rental Miami visit to one of its beaches. One of them would have to be South Beach. From partying to shopping, from sunbathing to enjoying a massage in a spa...they are all right here, right smack in the middle of South Beach, easily accessible and readily-available. If you are lucky, there will be an expo or festival that you can be a part of.

Of course, Miami is known for its Everglades, which boasts of more than one point five million acres of sub-tropical forest and swamps. Don’t miss the chance to head over even if you have only half a day to explore. it is truly one-of-a-kind tourist destination and you will have difficulty finding in other parts of the world.

Up Close and Personal with Nature at Jungle Island

Are you looking for a place to bring your family out for some fun? How about a trip to the Jungle Island at 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, Miami? Heard of it but have never been there yet? Well, then it is about time that you rent a Miami bus and load everyone onto the bus and head on down to the Jungle Island for a day’s of fun and thrills.

In comparison to the Miami’s Metrozoo, the Everglades habitat at Jungle Island may be smaller, but it is rather nice. The Jungle Island also have a lot of shady areas with new buildings and exhibits, so be sure to be comfortable dressed and wear comfortable walking shoes, as the grounds to cover are rather huge too. If you think your kids may enjoy the inflatable slide at the Jungle Island, be sure to call them up first to find out if the slide would be operating, so that you can bring a spare change of clothes if they have their wet slide available on the day of your visit. Or, if you prefer to take the risk, you can always bring along the change of clothes and leave the bag in the Miami rental bus if you don’t need them.

When you make plans to visit the Jungle Island, always give yourself at least 2 to 4 hours to spend there so that you don’t have to rush through the trip with your family. Instead, with so much time in your hands, you get to enjoy yourselves in there without worrying about having to leave so soon. At this zoo, they also have many interactive experiences with the animals for visitors. If you have never been able to get up close to a kangaroo to touch and feed it, well, you can get to do that here in Jungle Island. We would suggest that you make plans to arrive at the Jungle Island early so that you can beat the heat or the afternoon thunderstorms. You can always let the Miami bus rental company know that you prefer to arrive early and they will make arrangements to accommodate to your request. You are allowed to take photographs as you tour around the zoo, so do remember to bring your camera along with you on this trip so that you can snap away and bring home a lot of beautiful memories from this trip with your family.

Oleta River State Park, Miami

Oleta River State Park is said to be Florida’s largest urban park and is located on Biscayne Bay, and though it has a lot of recreational activities offered to the public, it is better known for its miles of off-road bicycling trails – for the amateurs as well as the more experienced bicyclists. However, you don’t have to be a serious bicyclist in order to make a trip to the park in a Miami rented bus. If you want some sunshine and outdoor activities to exercise your body, or just to refresh your soul, then Oleta River State Park is just what you need.

During summer, the park is usually packed with visitors and Miami rental bus passengers will always get to enjoy themselves at the park doing one activity or another. At the north end of the Oleta River State Park is a large and beautiful mangrove forest that still preserves the native South Florida plants and wildlife. If you are one who enjoys having guided tours, then join a Park Naturalist on Saturdays or Sundays at 1 o’clock in the afternoon for an hour’s worth of walk through the park and learn about the history, ecosystems, plants and animals at the park and we’ve been told that this summer has been especially wonderful because in one of the recent walks, they counted over 16 species of butterflies that appeared at the park!

One of the other quieter activity that Miami bus rental visitors can enjoy at the Oleta River State Park is fishing, as they have a fishing pier and you can also purchase the fishing gears and baits from the Blue Moon Outdoor Center that is located within the park itself. If you already have your own fishing equipment, you can always bring them along with you on your trip as you will have more than enough space in the Miami rented bus for you to put all your things.

However, for those who prefer a more vigorous activity, there is also a whole lot of other options at the park like kayaking, canoeing, swimming, hiking and the list goes on. If you enjoy animal watching, you will also be able to do so at the park and picnicking is always a popular thing to do for many visitors to the park. Also, renting a Miami bus for the trip will not be problem at all because the Oleta River State Park is open from 8 in the morning until sunset, all year round.

Be your own tour guide in Miami

Welcome to Miami. Traveling with Bus Rental Miami by bus or limo is one of the most economical and practical ways to travel to and around Miami. If you’re visiting Miami on a budget, or just prefer to explore the city yourself with bus rental services, then you might be considering exploring the city on your own. But what should you see and how should you do it?

Take a walk about the gorgeous walk by Bayfront Park. From there, head towards the bay in the bus charter just past the Hard Rock Café and you can catch Biscayne Bay in all its glory, with the Port of Miami in the background. Turn back pass Bayfront Park and walk down to the mouth of the river and see an impressive sculpture by Haitian-born Edouard-Duval Carrié and amazing wall drawings by Cuban-born Glexis Novoa.

From the mouth of the river, take a moment to consider that the concrete jungle of Brickell Key was once a swamp with a pristine where the first pioneers traded goods with Indians who paddled up from the Everglades in their dugout canoes. It's an amazing sight, we assure you.

Continue on towards Biscayne Boulevard in the mini bus and at the end of the path, look straight directly south across the river at Philippe Starck’s massive Icon development, then look at the empty patch of grass by the river’s edge. This location, Miami Circle is the site of an ancient archaeological site where Tequesta Indians lived over 2,000 years ago.

For those of you who prefer a bird’s eye view to the city, the best option is to take the Metromover, Miami’s free light rail system.

There are three loops – Omni, Downtown and Brickell. The Omni loop takes you as far north as the School Board, with the Miami Herald and Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts along the way. The Downtown loop circles the business and shopping district. The Brickell loop on the other hand travels as far south as 14th street. However, you can enjoy seamless traffic in the party bus.

If you get confused where you’re going, just observe the electronic signs above the track. You really can’t get lost though as the loops are finite and each rail car always returns to the same starting point.

The Brickell loop is the best way to get a bird’s eye view of Downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods and you’ll pass by many historic buildings and high over the river.

You’re not done yet, there’s so much to explore that all you have to do is look up a place and google it but if you prefer to be driven around, then waste no time in contacting Bus Rental Miami and book a tour bus for a quick lookaround around the city by charter bus.

The Wolfsonian Art Museum

If you are into industrial objects, metal work, books, paintings, glass decorations and furniture...basically stuff that are old and hold significant value in terms of design and culture, then you are in for a treat when you hit the Wolfsonian Art Museum. The Wolfsonian is sponsored by the Florida International University which is located on Washington Avenue. The campus is a nice and popular one with students from other parts of the country.

The artifact exhibits are basically furniture and artwork collected from North American and European countries which are dated as far back as 1885.

Wolfsonian museum aims to research and showcases artworks that powerfully persuades, expresses and makes people think. It is a way modern people can quietly observe, think and learn about these objects and what the creator intended to convey. Our bus rental Miami customers who went there came out from the exhibition much more of a thinker, so says Laura, a regular customer of ours. Sometimes, it takes very little to just make us reflect on how far human beings have come and most art lovers love to think about life and creation.

The Wolfsonian also have a very rare collection of books and paper and textile based creations that are hard to find in other museums. What is really unique about your visit here would be about how you will learn how to look at the same object from different angles to see a completely different perspective. That's art...and that is powerful.

In a lot of ways, that is precisely what Wolfsonian is all about. If you are currently organizing something, a trip, a school field trip or just looking for a place to hold an event (they have different types of space for rental, do check out their website for more information – www.wolfsonian.org).

A reminder to our bus rental Miami customers – the museum can be packed with people during summer months and school holidays so, if you are heading over in a group, please be prepared for long lines and endless waits for a parking spot. Apart from that, the Wolfsonian Art Museum is a definite winner as far as museums are concerned.
