The best place to go on a rainy day. My Mother-in-Law wanted to go to the beach for Mother's Day and we promised her we would take her to the "Ocean". Little did she know there would be sharks and stingrays swimming over her. SHE LOVED IT!
I went solo and still had a great time gaping at the aquarium, touching rays and admiring a great view of the skyline. Plus Liam Neeson narrating an engrossing film about planet Earth in the planetarium!

The Miami Seaquarium is bigger than we thought. The facilities here are very good, and there are a lot of animals. It attracts a lot of parents to bring their children to visit. The performances inside are very exciting, which makes everyone applaud continuously.
I usually walk here in the early morning (before 7:30) because you can enjoy some activities like biking, jogging, beach sports..some weekends there is a car collector show or on a special day. Ocean Drive is always busy with many music performances and shows..you can walk here or sit in the bars and restaurants...if you like people and lively atmosphere, you will feel good here

Had a 3pm scheduled alligator encounter. From being able to feed a bunch of alligators, to holding many of all different sizes, this place was a home run.
Located near the entrance to Everglades National Park, the Everglades Alligator Farm is home to more than 2,000 alligators. Tours of the Everglades Alligator Farm include airboat rides, alligator shows, snake shows, and alligator feeding demonstrations.
