Took 4 young boys (18 months to 6) to the museum for something new to do. Coming from West Palm,…read morethe Brightline was a great option to get there and is a short walk or car ride away. The primary focus of the museum seemed to be the aquarium. The boys really wanted to see the dinosaurs and the museum houses a small exhibit. there were many options for the kids to interact with throughout the museum and they came away with big smiles. As an adult, I wished the museum were laid out differently to enhance the flow from one exhibit to the next. Easy access both inside and outside. Ramps between floors and elevators made access with wheel chairs and strollers easy. Parking is relatively expensive but leaving the car at home and taking Brightline made that part exciting for the kids and more relaxing for me.

Her service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, the kind that turns a simple coffee stop after a nice visit to the museum into a cool experience.

It's a wonderful little add-on to an already fantastic day at the museum with your family, friends and even date. Bonus: they also offer food options like fries, hamburgers, and chicken nuggets, making it a great spot to recharge during your visit. Highly recommended! As well as the planetarium show, it is 100% worth the extra add on to the ticket.

In all the years that I lived in Miami, I never once visited Viscaya; I live in shame. Mostly…read morebecause when you're local the mentality is, "why pay to see a fancy house? you can drive by coral gables or south beach and see them for free". I will say, the grounds are absolutely delightful, especially if you go in the Springtime as we did where flowers are all in full bloom, that alone is worth the ticket price. The architecture is exquisite! A feast for the eyes in so many ways. When we came to visit, they were doing renovations. You could see the water damage on the roof and walls, probably caused by one of the many Summer storms, because of that the tickets were at a discount that day but we were still able to appreciate the beauty of Viscaya. There are two cafe's. One in the garden of the main house, and another across the street where farm animals use to be kept. Surprisingly, the food and drinks are reasonably priced. The day we were there, a wedding was going to take place and there was a lot of commotion going on. Fancy tables being set up, fine china, crystal glasses, the whole works. We asked a security guard how much it costs to have a wedding reception there and he said: "Just to rent the space, no tables, no nothing, starting price is 100k". So if you have 100k lying around, and plan to get married soon, this could be an option for you. Jokes aside though; I'd definitely visit again.

From the moment you walk onto the property, you're surrounded by stunning architecture, beautiful landscaping, and so much history. The mansion itself is incredible, with each room offering something unique. The attention to detail in the design, the antiques, and the artwork really make it feel like you're walking through a piece of European history right in the middle of Miami. You can take your time exploring, and there's always something new to notice. The gardens were my favorite part. They're beautifully maintained, with fountains, statues, and pathways that make it fun to just wander around and take everything in. Plus, the views along Biscayne Bay are absolutely gorgeous and add such a peaceful vibe to the whole experience. It's the perfect place if you're looking for something different from the typical Miami attractions. Whether you're into history, photography, or just want a relaxing place to explore, this is definitely worth the visit. I would absolutely recommend adding it to your list!

Maybe more used to other modern art museums but this was a first for me and very enjoyable. Perhaps…read morebecause it was my first experience like this. The fact is it was entertaining and there were plenty of guides telling you what you can do to interact with the visuals and what happens next. Very dark but basically safe to walk around. Various visual exhibits some using projectors ( low ish quality) on huge walls but ones that you can interact with to change the image. Other smaller visuals of changing perspective and seasons of the year. A strange heart beat thing that looked pretty and impressive laser show with mist. Lots of other things including a sort of mirrored maze that is not a maze. Timed tickets I assume avoids overcrowding which would be a problem even in larger spaces. Paid street parking outside or a metro station just a few yards away. Note there is a much lower cost Rubell museum across the road and a much better cafe at Rubell.

I came (pun intended) here this past Saturday as the first stop of the Vibration pub crawl along Washington Avenue the location to pick up the ticket. The organizers at the front desk by the entry and a good variety of red and chocolate wines as well as a cocktail. I enjoyed both of the wines with the red being a good social lubricant. As far as the museum, it occupies two floors. The ground floor had a Kama Sutra sandbox bed (with art engraved on the bed posts). There were also a few engravings as well as a live music show as part of the pub crawl. The second floor of the museum had mostly books and paintings.

I came with a group of friends and we purchased our tickets online in advance and each adult ticket was about $56. They require time slots to ensure the exhibits are not over crowded at any point in time which we realized was very helpful while we were there. Once we entered the convention center, we made the line and were led into the first room and from then on we were able to walk into each next room at our own pace which was nice because we weren't being rushed despite the time slots on our tickets. There was at least one attendant in each room where the art exhibit was not meant to be touched or stood on. There were so many interesting photo and video opportunities throughout the exhibit. Which was awesome, but experiencing it is completely different (videos and pictures are not as fun. Some of the installations are interactive and of course this is a family friendly exhibit so that is something to keep in mind as there were a lot of children present and at moments it was very loud and rowdy. My only complaint is that the only way to get to the bathroom was either way the very beginning or very end of the experience, so if you needed to use the bathroom halfway through, you would have to walk through the entire museum to get to the restroom. At the very end there is a gift shop where they had tons of balloon art, toys and cute trinkets for purchase. They also had a seating area and a cafe with some sandwiches, pastries and refreshments. Overall a cool experience and I would recommend this to anyone with children, or someone looking for a cute date idea.

So, this is a bit of a complex review to write because the take-away is that I loved my visit, but…read morethe experience left me wanting more, mainly because the subject matter of the main exposition was just not my cup of tea, but I can see how it would appeal to the Miami community because of their love for sports. The setting and location could not be better - totally breathtaking. Views of the causeway and Biscayne Bay / Downtown Miami are amazing. The architectural details with concrete and MCM inspired wooden accents are just perfect. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and definitely added to our experience, and the gift shop is great. The restaurant is excellent and has a thoughtful menu, with several items that are inspired by pieces from the permanent collection. The sports art exhibit took much more space than I would have liked. There is a LOT of money in Miami, and I would have expected a permanent collection or even visiting exposition that would rival museums in New York, Philadelphia, or Washington, DC. - modern art, Impressionism, renaissance, or other fine art would be incredible. That being said, I will definitely return to enjoy the museum, and look forward to seeing where their artistic directors take things in years to come!

Each room and/or exhibit is full of a different surprise and challenges how you see and interpret things. The museum itself is also very clean. I feel it's good for all ages!

There's a little plaque on how to interact with each exhibit and there's also a little sign on the floor instructing you where to stand to get your photo. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. I'd definitely recommend this experience if you're in Miami

I think…read moresome people avoid this place because they think of it as a place to take selfies, when it's more of a giant studio with interesting backdrops. I would recommend coming with a group as it's more fun that way, especially when you overcome the initial awkwardness of how much everyone hates to be photographed. Plan this as part of a series of activities in Wynwood as parking can be brutal and there are a lot of cool things to do within walking distance

Every single piece of art was so informative and it truly blew my mind away to see how far we've come over the decades with regard to sex erotica and fantasy. Not only is the museum fun and interactive, it does have a section where it goes through each decade of time dating as far back to the 1920s and talks about toys, birth control methods and erotic filmography, etc. Inside the "erotic carnival" portion of the museum, each display is interactive, which means you scan your phone to this QR code and you basically get to play different games & win prizes! It really is like a carnival for adults! I definitely recommend going here with your girlfriends or even your partner. (one of the displays actually lets you "get married" and prints a certificate at the end, so cute!)

The building features a large variety of installations which are mostly interactive which was a nice surprise. I expected this place to be more like a museum with facts and history about sex toys or brothels or something like that but it was not like that at all. It gave carnival game type feels with a jerk-off glory hole game in what appears to be bathroom stalls in which I won a tiny stuffed donut. There were claw machines, a bull riding section, a stripper pole, and a giant boob bouncy room. There is a sex store/gift shop at the entrance which felt fitting. Overall, a very fun place for open minded people looking for something different and unique to do in Miami.

This is an interesting pit stop if you're in South Florida. We went because it was mentioned in…read moresome TV shows and was something that stood out as unusual. But, it is really quite small. If this was a $10 admission fee, I'd probably add one star. But, they charge $25/pp and there's not much to the place. All that said....is it interesting? Sure. It makes you wonder why the guy who built the place obsessively worked to make it. The story about his lost love gives his the motivation. Still, pretty incredible that he went to this effort by himself.

My husband has wanted to come here ever since he was a kid, after hearing Leonard Nimoy talk about…read moreit on his show In Search Of.... Hubs told me about it, and then we heard about it together on Coast to Coast Am, early in our marriage. I had forgotten all about it until we were planning our trip to the Keys and my husband brought it up, so, we made it a priority to visit. Homestead is basically the last city you hit on the mainland before you begin your journey through the Keys, so you don't really have to make special plans to get here if you're heading there. Admission is $25 per adult, slightly less for children. With tax and a credit card convenience fee of $1.50, our total admission cost was $55. Personally, I think it was worth it, but then, I am into the weird stuff. The place can accomodate at least 100 people, but due to the oddity of the place and, I'm guessing, it's lack of notoriety, it doesn't seem to get very busy. There were maybe 25-30 people in the 2.5 hours we spent there. Coral Castle is almost entirely outdoors and exposed to the elements, so it is not really a castle. There are sitting areas, a dining area, bathing area and one enclosed living (sleeping) area. The living area could be called a tower, as it is two floors, but 1) You only get to see the lower floor which is now kind of a tool shed museum and 2) You can peek in it, but you can't actually go in it. Everything is made of a type of stone called oolite limestone. It is extremely strong and very heavy. The mystery of the castle is how it was built. How did one 5' tall man move multiple stones, weighing a ton or more, by himself? How did he make his stone chairs rock, and his stone gates turn? He claimed to know the secrets of the pyramid builders, and to this day, no one really knows how he did it. There are guided tours at regularly scheduled intervals, and you can join in anytime at no additional charge (recommended), or you can walk around and look at everything yourself, but there is no signage. You can stay as long as you want and take as many pictures as you want as well. There is a gift shop which has a cutout of Edward Leedskalnin, the man who built Coral Castle, that you can take a photo of or selfie with, along with the usual gift shop fare of shirts/sweatshirts, postcards, magnets, books, and other items. If you're looking for something interesting and unusual to do on the way to the Keys, I highly suggest a stop here. 99/2025
