TOP 10 

Surprisingly, there are so many free and affordable things to do in the great city of Miami!

We’ve listed our ten favorites for both locals and visitors alike.

Be sure to visit the other sections for even more things to see and do, all while saving money!

Also, don't forget to check out our  self-guided Art Deco Tour of Miami!

1. Soak up the Sun on South Beach

With 825 miles (1,328km) of sandy coastline in the sunshine state of Florida, it’s almost a crime if you come to Miami and don’t go to the beach!

South Beach, AKA SoBe, is a picture-perfect 4-mile (6.4km) strip of coastline and is one of the most famous beaches in the world.

It surely cannot be missed, especially because it’s free! So, pack up a cooler and hit the sand!

If you’re new to South Beach and want to see all the action, it’s best to start your journey on Ocean Drive near Lummus Park.

If you grow tired of basking in the sun, take a stroll up Ocean Drive, a touristy strip full of lots of fun, electric neon lights, and endless people watching.

2. Take a Free Tour Through the Art Deco District

South Beach is an Art Deco Playground. In fact, it’s the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world.

Even if you’re not into architecture, anyone will enjoy perusing these streets lined with pastel buildings.

Interestingly, all of these structures were constructed between 1923 and 1943 and literally resurrected South Beach from a major decline.

Surprisingly, South Beach wasn’t always this glamorous and posh. It once was polluted with high crime and vacant buildings.

It wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s when movies like Scarface (1983) and Birdcage (1996) transformed it into the world-class travel destination that it is today.

Take our free, self-guided tour through the Art Deco District to learn more!

Fulfill your inner shop-a-holic at the Lincoln Road Mall, which is a pedestrian lined street just a few blocks from the Art Deco District.

It's loaded with countless stores, boutiques, and restaurants.

3. Capture the Incredible Street Art of Wynwood

What was once a neglected garment manufacturing district in the 1970s, Wynwood has now transformed into the quintessential funky art district of Miami and there is truly nothing like it.

This outdoor museum showcases large-scale colorful murals at every single turn, created by some of the world’s most talented street artists on Wynwood walls.

Aside from its awe-inspiring street art, Wynwood offers up craft breweries, art galleries, boutiques, and hipster cafes, many constructed in old warehouses.

If you’re looking for a tour, check out this free self-guided walking tour of Miami Street Art.  

Get Your Guide offers multiple paid tours daily, including buggy tours and a 1.5-hour walking tour . 

4. Take a Ride on the Metromover

The best way to navigate the greater downtown Miami area is via the iconic Metromover .

Created in 1986, this electrically powered free mode of public transportation provides rides to almost 40,000 passengers daily.

Although it may be a popular mode of transportation for locals, it’s also a great way to get out of the heat for tourists!

This 4.4-mile (7km) mover connects to 20 different stations, from the Financial District in the South to the border of Edgewater in the North.

Some important destinations along the mover trail are the American Airlines Arena, Bayside Marketplace, and Miami-Dade College.

Check out the Metromover map of stations for more details.

DO NOTE: the Metromover does not travel into Miami Beach (South Beach) or Wynwood and only stays in the greater downtown area.

The Metromover is not to be confused with the Metrorail, which is a paid mode of transport.

5. Tap Into Your Inner Yogi with a free Yoga Class at Bayfront Park

Bayfront Park is a 32-acre public park located in the heart of downtown Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay.

Every day, they offer yoga classes of all different varieties at the Tiny Hills Pavilion, which are all free or donation based.

Do note you’ll have to bring your own yoga mat, water, and towel.

Check out their website to view the yoga schedule as well as other happenings at the park.

After your yoga class, take a stroll through Bayside Marketplace , a 2-story open-air shopping center full of restaurants, shops, and different events happening all the time.

If yoga isn’t for you, just strolling around this lush green park or having a picnic is sure to please.

6. Experience Cuban Culture on Calle Ocho in Little Havana

Walking into the neighborhood of Little Havana on Calle Ocho is like walking through a cultural museum.

From authentic Cuban coffee shops to fresh-squeezed fruit juice stands, there is truly nothing like it anywhere else in Miami. 

Head over to Maximo Gomez Park , also known as Domino Park, where you'll see locals gathering, drinking cortado, rolling cigars, and playing dominoes and chess on tables. 

As you stroll down Calle Ocho, take note of the pink marble stars, which is also known as the Calle Ocho Walk of Fame .

This version of the Hollywood attraction highlights Latin American celebrities, with the most famous being the salsa singer Celia Cruz. 

If you're looking for a tour, Get Your Guide offers a 2-hour Walking Food T our through Little Havana that is sure to please! 

7. Visit the Museum of Art and Design

Edgar Degas said it perfectly “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see,” and this is surely evident when visiting The Miami Dade College Museum of Art and Design.

(MOAD) showcases a network of artwork from both emerging and recognized designers and artists across the College’s eight campuses.

Here you’ll be exposed to a wide range of exhibits from cultural to historical. Admission to the museum is free, every day. 

Be sure to check out the permanent exhibit, located on the first floor, which highlights Cuban artifacts from refugees that came to the US in the 1960s.  

After your visit to MOAD, head over the Venetian bridge to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden , where you'll find a 2.6-acre (10,522 sqm) lush botanical oasis that offers native Florida plants and trees, and even a Japanese garden! 

Fortunately, the Garden offers free admission Tuesday to Sunday from 9 am-5 pm, although there is a suggested donation.

8. Explore Everglades National Park 

Everglades National Park is a 1.5 million-acre-wetland that is a must-see when visiting Florida!

Explore the abundant wildlife that the everglades have to offer with hundreds of different animal species, including the West Indian manatee, leatherback turtle, and famous American alligator. 

Fortunately, the city of Homestead (which is about a 1-hour drive from Miami) has made it possible to visit the park entirely for free.

Just hop on their free trolley ride from Historic Downtown Homestead straight to Everglades National Park! 

If you're looking for a tour, check out our Post on Which Everglades Tour is the Best!

9. Walk the Pier at South Pointe Park

The southernmost point of South Beach offers up a more relaxed and quiet waterfront area compared to the hustle and bustle near Lummus Park on Ocean Drive.

What was once home to police horse stables, South Pointe Park was donated by the Federal Government to Miami Beach in 1979.

Have a picnic at the park, watch the water traffic enter and leave the Port of Miami and marinas, or simply enjoy the spectacular beach.

There’s even a playground which includes a water fountain and a dog park.

Take a walk on the 450-foot-long pier, which underwent a $4.8 million renovation in 2014.

The pier offers up views of the city and marina, along with South Beach and the beautiful blue Atlantic Ocean.

10. Get a Miami Discount Pass

While the Go City Miami Pass isn't free itself, purchasing the card will permit you access to countless attractions, which will save you time and money.

The All-Inclusive Pass gives you access to 30 different attractions, with no additional fees.

These attractions include the Hop-On-Hop-Off Big Bus, the Miami Sea Aquarium, the Miami Zoo, an Everglades Alligator Farm & Airboat Tour, a Biscayne Bay Boat Cruise and so many more!

Feed the Goats at Earth n Us Farm in Little Haiti

Earth n Us Farm was founded in 1977 by Ray Chasser in Little Haiti. Chasser wanted to create a space to live sustainably off the Earth with his family.

After gradually purchasing his way up to the two-acre piece of land it is comprised of today, Chasser had fulfilled his dream.

Earth n Us Farm is a learning space for families with a goal of teaching people how to respect and care for the Earth, animals, and each other.  

It is a sanctuary with all kinds of animals, from goats and roosters to ostriches, cockatoo birds and so many more!

They can also enjoy their permanent exhibit Tropical Dreams: A People's History of  South  Florida, which includes a tour about the history of Miami. 

South Pointe Park has a large, outdoor playground perfect for your kiddos to run around and play and, if it’s a hot day, the splash pad is always a good idea!

Bring your bathing suits, pack a picnic basket, and make it a fun day in the park! Don't forget your sunscreen!

It's no secret, Miami comes to life after dark. Surprisingly, there are plenty of free things to do after the sun goes down in the city. 

Watch a Movie at Soundscape Park

Soundscape Park offers a free Cinema Series beginning at 8 pm on select evenings.

Grab a blanket, pack a picnic basket full of snacks and drinks, and enjoy an evening watching a movie under the stars.

The series runs from October through June.

Watch the Sunset on the Beach

Miami is synonymous with the beach and, although it’s fun to soak in the sun by day, it’s equally as exciting to enjoy the beach at sunset.

Grab a bottle of wine and a blanket and watch the beach change from light to dark as you listen to the ocean waves.

Watch the Art Deco Turn From Day to Night

There is nothing more 'iconic Miami’ than the neon lights of the Art Deco District.

Field Trip FAQs

Are you kosher, are you an approved vendor in broward county.

No. We are not an approved vendor in Broward county and have no plans to become approved in the foreseeable future.

Is this cooking field trip appropriate for my special needs students?

Yes. Not only is it an appropriate activity, we have found it to be one of the most gratifying for these students as well as for us! We have successfully worked with all levels of special needs students.

This will be our first field trip with The Real Food Academy and I have questions. Can I call and speak with someone?

Absolutely. Call Chef Arthur anytime with your questions. His direct number is 786-395-0355

The room we are using for the field trip is available to us for a limited time. How long will the event take?

The time needed for the event is affected by a number of different factors.

• The age of the children will affect the time needed. Younger children take longer then older children.
• The size of the group affects the time. Larger groups take longer then smaller groups.
• When we find the room with all the needed tables and chairs in place, that saves of time. If we don't have to gather tables and chairs from other rooms in the school we can save a lot of time.

That said, we can usually get the job done in time regardless of the above circumstances. We can simply work at a faster pace if needed. However, when there is a time limitation we appreciate knowing well in advance.

Is there anything I need to prepare before you arrival at our school or camp?

Yes. We always appreciate when the room is ready for us when we arrive. Please have the needed number of tables and chairs in the room where the event will take place. There is no need to arrange the table and chairs, just have them in the room.

I just booked my field trip and entered an "estimated" number of kids. The actual number of kids may be higher or lower. How will I be charged?

3 day's before your field trip you will receive an email from us requesting a final head count. If your "final head count" number is higher or lower, you can make the adjustment by replying to that email. If we do not receive an adjusted number, you will be billed according to the original number. If you supply us with a new number, the new number will be the amount you will be billed for.

I just booked my field trip. The only option for start time was 9am, but can I start at a different time?

Yes, your event can start anytime; whatever is best for you. We are only suggesting 9am as a start time as this time works best for most organizations. If you would like a start time before or after 9am please send an email request to [email protected] and follow up with a phone call to 786-395-0355 if a confirmation is not received within a few days of the requested change.

What age groups are included in the field trips?

Our field trips are open to boys and girls ages 3 through 14 who may be interested in exploring the culinary arts.

Do we need a kitchen for the field trip?

A kitchen is not needed. We can setup in any classroom, cafeteria, etc.

June 9, 2023

End of year field trip.

"Thank you so much to The Real Food academy. Once again, Arthur, Maria, and their staff made such a great impact on our K-5th campers. The children were overjoyed with the chef hats, making them feel like little chefs. They loved making their own pizzas, then tasting their delicious creations. All with the guidance of an amazing team from The Real Food Academy. The kids were so excited to tell their parents all about their culinary experience. We'll see you again in the summer!!!”

— Community Coalition / Wise Kidz

See our venue, dish by dish, skill by skill, here are a few of the things you'll learn at the real food academy:, international cookery, how to mise en place, portion control, knife skills & cooking techniques, choosing disease-preventing foods.

In every lesson, we will travel around the world and prepare traditional dishes utilizing healthy ingredients (the ones that are good for you!) We will be offering lessons on breakfast, brunch, lunch, snacks, and dinner preparation.

Organize your meal preparation ahead of time. This way you'll have more time to enjoy with family and friends and less time worrying about the actual cooking part of a meal.

Don't go hungry, just eat what’s right for you! You will not go hungry or suffer from energy depletion if you eat the right foods. We will teach you how to identify and choose the right ingredients, portions and how to combine different types of food for your benefit.

Master the art of professionals and cook anything the healthy way! For example, learning how to cut properly can make the difference between seeing kitchen work as a chore and a joy.

Learn the power of nutrient-rich herbs, spices, vegetables, low sugar fruits, non-processed meats and many more foods that are rich in antioxidants, resveratol, vitamins and minerals essential in healthy eating.

The Best Field Trips in Miami

Where to Take a Field Trip in Miami

While Miami is best known for its blue beaches and exciting nightlife, that doesn’t mean there isn’t  an abundance of family-friendly and educational destinations to visit. With a private charter bus rental, you can load up the whole classroom and take them for an inspirational day out on the town. Check out our round-up of the best field trip destinations in the Miami area:

Frost Museum of Science

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is one of the top educational destinations in Miami. Field trips at the Frost Museum are immersive and engaging, inviting students of all ages to delve into the science behind marine ecosystems, the biology of the human body, the physics of flight, and more. You can also add on special programs like a planetarium show or a private, 45-minute learning experience about sea life or meteorology.

Getting to the museum is easy—it’s located downtown in Miami’s Museum Park. Your best bet for parking will be nearMaurice A. Ferré Park, so you may want to arrange a pick-up/drop-off time and place with your driver. When you call to schedule your field trip, you can also ask the museum about the best place to park your charter bus rental.

Address: 1101 Biscayne Blvd, Miami FL 33132

Phone: 303-434-9600

The PAMM, or the Pérez Art Museum Miami, has ample learning opportunities for K-12 students and teachers. High school fine arts, ceramics, or photography classes can enjoy browsing the modern art galleries and sculpture garden. You can also arrange a free educator workshop that discusses contemporary art and involves students in hands-on art-making.

Since the PAMM is located in the Downtown Miami Museum Park, you may find parking at Maurice A. Ferré Park. Arrange a pick-up and drop-off time and place with your driver if you plan to park off-site, or ask the PAMM where the best place to park your charter bus rental is.

Address: 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132

Phone: 305-375-3000

A field trip at Zoo Miami is an exciting day for students of all ages. You can visit the exhibits of dozens of animals including elephants, chimpanzees, and meerkats, to name some fan favorites. When it comes to planning your field trip, you can customize your visit with educational activities like wildlife training presentations and feeding giraffes, rhinos, or camels.

Please note, Zoo Miami requires a minimum of one week’s notice to get a discounted rate for a field trip. Admission is between $8-$8.75 per student, and they allow one free chaperone per every eight paying students. When you call to make a reservation, ask about the best place to park your charter bus.

Younger students will enjoy The Living Garden and the A Day in the Life of Vizcaya tours, which guide students through the history of the Vizcaya. Older students can delve into the design and architecture of Italian country houses or discover the local nature of the estate through the Environmental Exploration Tour.

Submit a request to visit at least 14 days in advance of when you’d like to go. You’ll be able to visit on a Monday, Thursday, or Friday, and the museum asks you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to check-in. If you need to drop off and pick up visitors with limited mobility, make sure to alert the security officer in the main parking lot and they will guide you to the service area.

Field trips at HistoryMiami will bring your students through 10,000 years of South Florida history. Their educational programs include a guided tour of the collection and galleries catered to your students’ age group. Little ones will enjoy a 1-hour, story-filled journey through the museum while older students will enjoy a tour delving into local history and civics—and it doesn’t stop there. Opt for an archeology-themed workshop or prehistoric-themed tour for deeper learning.

Ready to plan your day? Make sure to file a request to visit at least three weeks before your ideal date. Parking is located at the Miami-Dade Cultural Center Garage, but make sure to confirm availability for your charter bus rental when you can plan your field trip.

Overnight field trips include trips to NYC, trips to Boston, trips to Philadelphia, trips to Washington, DC, trips to Chicago, trips to Atlanta, trips to Austin, and other historic cities throughout the US. Retreats are available for environmental education, team building, and recreation. We created field trip lesson plans to help teachers, scout leaders, camp counselors, and homeschool parents provide an enriching experience for their groups. We know funds for class trips are limited, so we’ve included grants for field trips that cover admission, transportation, and more. It’s important that students and youth explore new environments, learn about other cultures, and develop an understanding of inclusivity as part of the educational process. People learn in different ways—through hearing, seeing, touching, talking, or doing. Class trips can provide a multi-dimensional learning experience. FieldTripDirectory.com can help you find the right trip for your group. A world of experiences is just a click away at FieldTripDirectory.com.
