5 of 21 museums and educational attractions

Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.

Before you go

Quick answers for busy parents.

Look for a free day or eveningMany museums run one. It is the busiest time, but it is free.
Ask for the children’s trailMost have a backpack, a trail sheet or a hunt, and most keep them behind the desk rather than advertising them.
Check which galleries suit your childA museum can be brilliant for a nine-year-old and a long hour for a three-year-old. The website usually says which rooms are hands-on.
Bags and coatsLarger museums require a cloakroom for anything big, which is worth knowing before you carry it round.

Common questions about museums and educational attractions in Miami

How many museums and educational attractions are there in Miami?

We list 21 museums and educational attractions within 90 miles of Miami, FL. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.

Which museums and educational attractions in Miami publish their prices?

11 of the 21 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.

Are any museums and educational attractions in Miami free?

Yes. 3 places get you in free: Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, Patricia and Philip Frost Art Museum FIU and The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum.

Which museums and educational attractions in Miami suit a toddler?

3 of them list an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.

How did Mini Navigators choose these museums and educational attractions?

We list every one we have within 90 miles of the center of Miami. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.

Do adults have to pay?

It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 11 of the 21 on this page publish a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.

Do I need to book ahead?

Free museums often still ask you to reserve a slot, and special exhibitions almost always do. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.

What should I bring?

Water and a snack for outside. Many museums do not allow food in the galleries. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.

What else is there to do with kids in Miami?

Miami has 13 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Miami hub lists all of them.

Listings last checked October 5, 2026.
