What’s the key to a Miami Beach-area family vacation? Pair shore time with off-the-beach fun. Try a zip line adventure, explore museums, learn about the city’s iconic architecture, and allow plenty of time to romp through parks and along the sands. It’s easy to engage toddlers, teens, and multigenerational families. A bonus: Most outdoor attractions are free.
My son and I started our morning 25 feet in the air at Treetop Trekking Miami. We pushed through a canopy of palm trees and live oaks as we inched along a tightrope, swayed across a plank bridge, and glided on a zip line. Conquering those challenges on the mid-level course felt satisfying. Adrenaline-seekers can up their thrills by tackling obstacles as high as 55 feet above the ground. Kids ages 5 years and older gain confidence by climbing ropes and balancing on logs strung a few feet off the ground. (Tip: Protect your hands by wearing the gloves provided for the adult courses or bring your own.)
