Travel with Children
South Florida doesn't possess the reputation that child-friendly Orlando
has, but sheesh, where does? This region still knows how to care for your
young ones. South Florida has a plethora of parks, nature trails, megamalls,
beaches, zoos and family-friendly hotels and restaurants to keep kids
happy on holiday. With the obvious exception of our nightlife listings,
Miami's seedier neighborhoods and a few high-end restaurants (and OK,
the nude beach at Haulover State Park), we don't list places we would con-
sider unfriendly to children, although some are naturally more friendly than
others.
Best Regions for Kids
Coconut Grove
Big malls, mainstream cuisine and a pedestrian-friendly center.
Everglades
Kid-friendly National Park exhibits. And big alligators. Kids love alligators.
Florida Keys
Active families with older kids will adore the snorkeling, diving, fishing, boating and all-
around no-worries vibe.
Key Biscayne
An enormous, central park devoted to kids and surrounded by child-friendly nature trails
and public beaches.
