Attractions in Miami

No visit to the Magic City of Miami is complete without taking full advantage of the range of outdoor activities to take part in during the sun filled days. Miami has undoubtedly taken full advantage of its position as a t-shirt and flip-flop vacation spot, and the parks and attractions that come easily accessible to all visitors are a warm reminder of this fact. With the fastest growing zoo in the United States, Miami Metro Zoo, is a great attraction for the entire family. It was among the first free range zoos in the country, meaning the lack of cages make for a natural and relieving interaction with the animals. The temperate climates that Miami boasts no matter the season, mean that animals from an array of continents can live comfortably year-round. In addition, the exhibits are set-up according to the natural habitats of each animal, so groups of creatures from the same places are housed together, creating natural and peaceful views of a variety of animals. While on the fascinating landscape of animals and outdoor attractions, the newly moved Parrot jungle Island is a beautiful display of the tropical fauna and wildlife complimented by a brand new venue with shows and eloquently designed promenades. Tropical birds from around the world are without a doubt the highlight of this park, and a full day of getting face to face with parrots and toucans is certainly an option. Feed the wildlife and watch bizarre shows with trained animals unlike the often-depressing circus-like acts you might be accustomed to. No visit to Miami is complete without a trip to Vizcaya Mansion and Gardens. Here, a 50-acre estate built at the turn of the 20th century is an ideal place to take your sweetheart. Popular for private events and weddings, the historic gardens and mansion are built right on the bay, and are a testament to the grandeur European immigrants tried to replicate during the roaring 20's. Porticos and coral rock fountains make for a unique experience, tranquil and stylish: a suitable pair to the fascinating city of Miami.
