The Everglades, gently
The narrated Shark Valley tram, an airboat at the edge of the park, alligators and birds at a safe distance: Florida's great outdoors, at a child's height.

Miami as a family: the beach, the bay and the Everglades
Alligators in the morning, the ocean in the afternoon.
The experience
With the Family
Science and animals
Frost Science, its planetarium and three-level aquarium, Zoo Miami and Jungle Island: days that are told and retold afterwards.
The bay by boat
A crewed yacht towards Key Biscayne, a swim at anchor, the stilt houses of Stiltsville: the calm water of the bay, for every age.

The Everglades, adventure an hour from the city
At Shark Valley, in Everglades National Park, a narrated tram follows a loop of about two hours through the marshes: alligators, turtles and birds, seen from the vehicle. Airboat rides, for their part, leave from concessions along the Tamiami Trail, a few minutes from the park.
Museums, zoo and parks
The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, in Museum Park, brings together a planetarium and the Gulf Stream Aquarium, viewed from above and through a great window beneath. Zoo Miami, to the south, is the largest zoo in Florida; Jungle Island, on Watson Island, combines animals, playgrounds and treetop trails.
The bay, Key Biscayne and the quiet beaches
A crewed yacht for a day on the bay: a swim at anchor, a pass by the stilt houses of Stiltsville, lunch on board. On Key Biscayne, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park keeps the Cape Florida Lighthouse, the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County, and beaches quieter than South Beach.
Suites, nannies and logistics
Family suites facing the ocean or a villa on the bay, the kids' clubs of the great hotels, a chef who adapts the meals: we choose the place as carefully as the staff. Nannies are experienced, often bilingual in English and Spanish or French-speaking, carefully selected and vetted.
