Visiting the Miami attractions
Article by James Crave
When you are vacationing in southern Florida there are many Miami attractions for you to see. My family and I are from Fayetteville, North Carolina. We try to vacation in Miami beach as often as possible. And every time we travel down there we find more and more things to do and places to see. It seems like everytime we go down there we have a new experience. The last time we went down there we stayed at the world famous the Delano Hotel. The Delano in itself is a famous Miami attraction.
This is an upscale resort that was first built in 1947. The building is on 16th Street and Collins Avenue and it is one of the tallest building in the South Beach area. The hotel has a whimsical Art Deco style and the service there is impeccable. The whole family and I like to rent Segways when we are in Miami Beach visiting all the Miami Attractions, because they are a very easy and efficient way to get around and they are really fun to boot.
When we are riding on the Segways another internationally famous Miami attractions that we like to visit is the Lincoln Road Mall. Lincoln Road mall is a pedestrian road that is approximately 8 blocks long. Is one of the nation’s first pedestrian only malls. The entire strip is just filled with shopping boutiques, stores, restaurants, and theaters. There is always something for every member of our family to enjoy when we go on to Lincoln Road.
There are always street performers out there entertaining the tourists and the people watching is just amazing. One of the first Miami attractions that my wife and I ever brought our children to was the Miami Seaquarium. This is a spectacular marine animal themed park that is just a 10 minute drive by car from South Beach. This is the park where the original television show Flipper was filmed. My wife and I were big fans of the show when we were younger. The park still does a dolphin show themed after the television series. Also at the park they have a presentation called the Shark Channel.
This is a huge aquarium where you can watch divers hand feed a multiple variety of different sharks. You have a flat pool where you can personally hand feed stingrays. There is a seal and sea lion show which is very entertaining and comical. The feature act of the park is a killer whale show that is performed by a killer whale named Lolita. Another of the Miami attractions I recommend you see on your visit to southern Florida it is the Everglades tour. There are many companies on the beach that will gladly take you out to the Everglades with their tour buses.
It takes about 40 minutes by us from South Beach but it is well worth the trip. When you arrive at one of the Everglades Tourist venues you will get to see an animal show. These shows are great. They usually show off the animals that live in the Everglades and you might even get to see a man wrestle an alligator. The highlights of these Miami attractions are easily when you get to take an airboat ride out into the actual Everglades. You will get to see many alligators in their natural habitat as well as other species indigenous to the Everglades. It is a very unique experience.
As you can see there are many Miami attractions as the Everglades tours to see on your visit to South Beach. The ones in this article are just the tip of the iceberg. You will be able to find many many more on your own. Not only that but you will have a good time finding them.
