🇺🇸 Miami Travel Diary: A Stunning Seaside Science Museum & More! 🌊✨

Just visited Miami before my cruise—discovered three amazing spots worth sharing! 1️⃣ Vizcaya Museum & Gardens 🏰🌴 📜 History: Built in 1916 as the Villa Vizcaya, this was once the largest private home in America (43 acres!), owned by industrialist James Deering. 🏛️ Architecture: A breathtaking blend of Italian Renaissance + Cuban + Floridian styles, with 70+ rooms filled with 15th-19th century antiques (including rare Chinese porcelain!). 📸 Photo Spot: The seaside gazebo = insta-magic! 📍 *3251 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33129* 2️⃣ Gator Park 🐊🚤 Airboat rides over the Everglades (book online in advance!). Summer tip: Fewer alligators in June, but the live gator show (with handlers!) is thrilling! 📱 No signal in the park—screenshot your tickets! 3️⃣ Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science 🔬🌊 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for kids! This half-outdoor, high-tech museum features: Aquariums 🐠 Interactive science exhibits (step-on light projections, jungle simulations!) Outdoor water-play area 💦 Planetarium & IMAX dome 🎥 📍 *1101 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132* About Me 👋 I’m Alina, an architect who’s lived in Shanghai, London, NYC, Seoul, Hong Kong, and now LA.
