Best Museums in Miami for Kids & Families
2 family-friendly museums with age ratings and parent tips.
Looking for the best museums in Miami for kids? As tropical energy with Latin flavor and world-class beaches, Miami offers interactive exhibits and hands-on learning that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.
The best children's museums aren't quiet places where kids can't touch anything — they're the opposite. Look for hands-on exhibits, maker spaces, and outdoor play areas attached to the museum. In Miami, expect warm year-round, hurricane season June-November — winter is peak family season. Pro tip: South Beach is iconic but crowded. Crandon Park and Matheson Hammock are better for families. Cuban food in Little Havana is a must.
