Miami Children’s Museum highlights

One of the most impressive aspects of the Miami Children’s Museum is its exhibits. You'll find 14 galleries in total, and they're all interactive and bilingual. Some of these exhibits include a colourful presentation of visual art and colour theory, the science of glassware and harmonics, and a music studio.

When you visit this museum, your kids probably won't want to miss out on the Castle of Dreams. This area of the museum is a massive structure styled like a sandcastle with a winding slide and decorative tiles made by local children. Coloured glass and luminous sand are implemented throughout the castle's design to make vibrant colours.
