Free things to do with kids in Miami

Shaded playgrounds, paved nature paths and seasonal splash play for mixed ages and longer outings.

A real playground in a big Coconut Grove lawn, with Glass & Vine next door for food without leaving the park.

Large gated playground with a ship and big slide for older kids plus a little train area for younger ones.

A boat to climb and a wave wall with sea creatures set into it, right on the bay in the middle of downtown.

An outdoor gallery of huge murals, seen at walking pace, with the rest of the district's walls free to look at.
