Petting zoo, pony rides, and lakes |
401 East 65th Street Miami, FL 33013-1163 United States +1 305 685 8389 http://www.gmcvb.com/amelia_ea... |
There are not many farms to be found in urbanized Miami these days, so this is a particularly delightful diversion for those in search of a little country atmosphere. Children in particular will enjoy this family-oriented park, with its pony rides and petting zoo (housed in a barn). Located in Hialeah, the park includes five lakes that have plenty of fishes. Visitors can also find picnic facilities, playgrounds, and an old-fashioned country store. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cruise the Everglades |
24050 Southwest 8th Street Miami, FL 33187 United States +1 800 559 2205 / +1 305 559 2255 http://www.gatorpark.com/ |
Although there are plenty of gators to see here, this attraction also includes several other wild animals. During the 30-minute wildlife show, visitors can see panthers and other exotic inhabitants of the Everglades. The bravest souls can also have themselves photographed with an alligator. But the high point of a trip to Gator Park is likely to be the airboat tour; unlike other tour companies, this park guarantees at least one alligator sighting. Airboat tours last approximately 45 minutes. Admission: USD18 for adults and USD10 for children. Review © 2007, Wcities |
