TOURIST ANSWERS:

Holidays in Miami are associated with beautiful endless beaches and azure shores.

Excursions here are also quite expensive, so I advise you about

Lion Country Safari. Unique nature reserve somewhat reminiscent of African natural parks. Here, tourists do not walk on foot, but drive around the territory in cars, so walks are more like an African safari.

Animals do not even suspect that they live in captivity, because the park is almost a natural habitat for many of them, just under the supervision of others. Thousands of birds, antelopes, lions, giraffes, roe deer, ostriches, zebras, monkeys, I can't remember them all. Be sure to bring treats for zebras and other peaceful inhabitants, who may well block the road and simply demand to treat them to something delicious.

This is a great place to travel with children, because the park has a special mini-amusement park with carousels, mini-golf and other swings for children. The park is 78 miles from Miami and admission for adults is about $28. For children under 10 you will pay about $20.

After the death of the owner, the villa was empty, but the servants continued to maintain order and cleanliness here.

The coral castle weighs about 240 tons, it is a two-story tower and an underground pool, which leads to spiral staircase. There is a heart-shaped table and chairs, as well as a map of Florida, also made of stone. Famous engineers still cannot solve the mystery of the construction of the castle.

Matson Hammock Park. The park is the oldest in the entire territory of Miami, because the date of its foundation is 1930. South of Key Biscayne, the entire territory is covered by mangrove swamps, and the park is considered a real island of greenery in these areas. And despite the fact that the park occupies a rather small area, it is very beautiful and well-groomed here.

Tourists with children often drop in here, because many parents are simply afraid to swim with small children in the ocean. And in the park, in this case, there is a very beautiful pool, as well as a good snack bar and the Red Fish Grill restaurant, with a large selection of fish dishes, including grilled ones, as many have already guessed from the name of the establishment.

Walking in the park is a real adventure for children, because among the leaves one can find interesting crabs in a blue shade of shell, and other small animals. Indeed, in Matson Hammock Park there are a variety of turtles, iguanas, raccoons, and other animals. In addition, tourists often make here bicycle rides through the picturesque surroundings of the park.
