Therefore, through the event programs I decide to get a museum pass and see the amazing place for myself. Personally, I absolutely loved it and thought it was totally worth it. Similarly, I appreciate Juan (a tour guide provided free with the purchase) who made the experience much more enjoyable. I recommend seeing the park for yourselves and taking a tour with him or David... really nice. And remember to enjoy the fruits, the space and the sights this park has to offer.

My wife tells me we're going to the Monkey Jungle Experience. WHAT???

It's smaller than I expected, but still a lot of fun and definitely unique. Pro tip: arrive early in the day. Once the heat picks up, the monkeys tend to stay out of sight, so the earlier you go, the better your experience will be. Pro tip 2: The signage for the bathroom is awful. The bathroom is located in area where the monkeys are over the water. The exhibits were interesting, but the highlight was feeding the monkeys through the cages and watching them cleverly lift the little food trays really entertaining to see up close. The staff was friendly and informative, and the whole visit felt relaxed and enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're looking for something a little different to do in Miami.

We had so much fun at this farm! So many fun things to do for the adults and the.children.read more

Here at Pinto's Farm in the Redlands area of Miami, FL, I'd like to highlight two sections around…read morethe grounds that made for a worthwhile visit. The first part is the paddle boats. Designed to accommodate 2 passengers, leisurely float down the tropical inlet of a man-made river. Riders can enjoy unlimited paddling trips and it's a nice way to appreciate nature, surrounded by colorfully green waters and palm trees. Next area of the farm to check out is the Petting Zoo. Quickly grab the attentions of goats and sheep by purchasing a small bucket of hay for $5. The animals are not shy and they have endless appetites. Pinto's Farm also has a race track, pony and tractor rides. The Brewery House offers food and refreshments and Pinto's Ice Cream Truck sells handcrafted milkshakes. General admission is $20 per person on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Overall, Pinto's Farm is a pleasant way to spend a few quality hours within the suburban community of Miami, FL.

The surroundings for such events are beautiful and I had an amazing experience and enjoyed seeing the beautiful Koi's. So nice that dogs are welcome too, just couldn't give it the 5 stars based on seeing some of the poor parrots imprisoned in cages way too small with no stimulation which has caused them to start plucking themselves. Those big Macaw's definitely deserve to be in a space big enough to fly or the cages would be better used for smaller birds if any. Unfortunately seeing those birds in cages takes away from what could have been an amazing experience.

It would've been nice if they had more staff working the day of because it was a lot of wait time to get in and participate in certain activities. Other than that activities were all super fun. We got to take pictures with the Easter bunny, go through the sunflower maze, my son got to play in the children's playground, he was able to participate in the egg hunt and we had some delicious açai bowls for lunch! There are also so many beautiful activations throughout the farm to take cute Easter photos. They do such a great job decorating the farm!

You can access this on their site so you can complete before hand. The playground goes on for days, and the corn pit was a huge hit. My child thoroughly enjoyed making corn angels in it. LOL. Just a heads-up--on hot days, it is VERY hot here. There are also a lot of gravel areas, which are pretty miserable to push an umbrella stroller through, so bring your Rolls-Royce cruiser if you have one. They also have a blob bounce area, which is a lot of fun, but keep your eyes on the little ones! The bigger kids give no Fs around here, and apparently neither do some of their parents. So... bounce at your own risk. There's a nice selection of food options, although the wait times were pretty long. I was really looking forward to a delicious smoothie on such a hot day, but unfortunately, the drink was so warm it wasn't even drinkable. Definitely felt like a waste of money there. Overall, I'd go back because my child had such a great time on the playground, but for us, it would probably be more of a once-in-a-while outing rather than a regular trip.

After a pleasant drive south from the Cocoa FL area we arrived at Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial…read morePark and Campground. The campground was suggested by our friends Bob and Lori. We're absolutely delighted to overnight in quiet Pod 5 site 1 which is a back in site with full hookup. Larry Thompson was a humor columnist for the Miami Herald for more than two decades until his death February 18, 1973. He is in the Florida Newspaper Hall of Fame. His wife Gladys "Penny" Thompson (née Rhodes), who died September 22, 1975, was a pioneer in women's aviation during the 1940s-1950s. She is in the Florida Aviation Hall of Fame and the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. She was the Florida chapter president of the Ninety-Nines, the women's pilot organization founded by Amelia Earhart. While in the Civil Air Patrol, she flew over the Gulf of Mexico searching for German submarines during World War II. Her plane was one of several hundred destroyed in a 1945 blimp hangar fire at the Naval Air Station Richmond, part of which was rebuilt as the park.

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

This was a cute place…read more Ended up here one Saturday afternoon in Miami as my little cousin's horse lives there. Apparently, this little farm does a lot because while I only knew about the animals staying and being kept well, reviews say they've had events there and what not. Cannot say anything except that my cousin's horse was healthy and that it appeared she rode well. I don't ride horses, but some of my family members do and they took turns. It was a nice afternoon. I mainly spent it talking to family and just watching my little cousin ride. I'm sure I'll go again while in town. My little cousin was so excited to show me how well she rides.
