Fun things to do in Miami FL?

• My husband, our child and husbands family are going on a Cruise in January... We will be staying in Miami for a few nights before hand. what are some awesome things we can do there? I looked up the Zoo and the Seaquarium... but what OTHER fun things can we do? Are there anything around where we can swim with the dolphins?

• Answer:

  Okay, well you can swim with dolphins in the Seaquarium - look the site up again. It mentions prices and reservations. If you're looking for something else, parasailing and jetskiing are popular. You can always look into tours - a good one to check out is Star Island - area where Shaq and Hogan live? It's a gated community so it's the only way you can actually see the houses without actually living there. Also another cool tour is the airboat tour of the Everglades - a notorious national park and filled with interesting animals - you really are guaranteed to see a gator. Watch out for South Beach - depending on the age of your child, it's the nicest beach, I won't lie. However it's also the only legal topless beach on the east coast - and people will actually be topless. If you'd rather a family-oriented beach, check out Key Biscayne - their Crandon Park is nice enough. Has palm trees on the beach and it makes things interesting/fun to check out. It's no South Beach, but at least it's not R-rated.
