Miami is kid friendly. There are so many different experiences to be had for families traveling with children, and the year round great weather makes for some great winter get-aways for those living in the colder states of the country. This is such a great place for family fun, that Miami was recently in the list Child Magazine published, of the top ten places to visit when traveling with children. The beaches are great for one thing. And what more can a kid ask for than days spent building sand castles and boogie boarding, playing Frisbee or searching for sea shells? There are many tide pools perfect for exploring and scientific discovery as well as camp sites and cool historical places. These beaches are so clean, so fun, that they are often in the top picks for the Surfrider Foundation, the Travel Channel and USA Today! For walking, biking, a vast collection of lighthouses to explore, Key Biscayne has become a favorite spot over the years. There are food stalls and picnic tables, a great way to spend a family afternoon in the sun.
As for dining, many of the restaurants along the beaches are kid and family friendly. Whether you are in the mood for fine dining, exotic Caribbean cuisine, or simple seafood, you will find it all, and they all have items on their menus that will suit even the pickiest of children. Many of the Miami luxury hotels are just as kid friendly and often times have package deals specifically designed with fun and excitement for the whole family in mind. Lists of fun things to do will be provided by the hotels, including where to find the coolest IMAX shows and high-tech game rooms to a racetrack built especially for kids, the Richard Petty Driving Experience. So whether the beach scene is on your family’s agenda, or fun and excitement at one of the theme parks, Miami will offer up the opportunities for a fun filled family vacation, one that will provide lasting memories for the years to come.
