| Best parks for children in Miami
There is only so much shopping and sightseeing you can do before the kids start to crack! But fear not, Miami offers families some beautiful parks for the kids to enjoy. So while the adults can kick off their shows and enjoy a quiet read, the children can run wild in Miami's open spaces. Grass stains--sorry, after thought.
If the weather is good a picnic in the park can be a cost effective lunch option that kids will adore. No table manners or strict rules just yummy finger foods and plenty of fresh air.
For parents researching a Miami trip with children, may we recommend a popular option in our Miami for Families Travel Guide. It's packed with attractions, activities, special insider advice, what to pack, hotels and tons more--it's worth the download!
