About Miami Children's Museum

Miami Children's Museum is a world-class interactive museum on Watson Island designed specifically for children ages 1 through 10 and their families. The 56,500-square-foot facility features 14 permanent galleries with hands-on exhibits that encourage learning through play. Kids can explore a mini supermarket, run a pretend bank, create music in a recording studio, climb aboard a cruise ship replica, and learn about ocean life and the Everglades through interactive displays. The museum also features rotating exhibitions, art studios, and outdoor play areas. Educational programs include camps, classes, and special events throughout the year. The building itself is architecturally striking, designed to reflect the vibrant colors and culture of Miami. Located on Watson Island between downtown and Miami Beach, the museum is easy to reach and has ample parking. It's one of the best rainy-day activities in Miami and a top destination for families with young children. Plan for 2-3 hours, and note that adults must be accompanied by a child to enter.
