So, this is a bit of a complex review to write because the take-away is that I loved my visit, but…read morethe experience left me wanting more, mainly because the subject matter of the main exposition was just not my cup of tea, but I can see how it would appeal to the Miami community because of their love for sports. The setting and location could not be better - totally breathtaking. Views of the causeway and Biscayne Bay / Downtown Miami are amazing. The architectural details with concrete and MCM inspired wooden accents are just perfect. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and definitely added to our experience, and the gift shop is great. The restaurant is excellent and has a thoughtful menu, with several items that are inspired by pieces from the permanent collection. The sports art exhibit took much more space than I would have liked. There is a LOT of money in Miami, and I would have expected a permanent collection or even visiting exposition that would rival museums in New York, Philadelphia, or Washington, DC. - modern art, Impressionism, renaissance, or other fine art would be incredible. That being said, I will definitely return to enjoy the museum, and look forward to seeing where their artistic directors take things in years to come!

Maybe more used to other modern art museums but this was a first for me and very enjoyable. Perhaps…read morebecause it was my first experience like this. The fact is it was entertaining and there were plenty of guides telling you what you can do to interact with the visuals and what happens next. Very dark but basically safe to walk around. Various visual exhibits some using projectors ( low ish quality) on huge walls but ones that you can interact with to change the image. Other smaller visuals of changing perspective and seasons of the year. A strange heart beat thing that looked pretty and impressive laser show with mist. Lots of other things including a sort of mirrored maze that is not a maze. Timed tickets I assume avoids overcrowding which would be a problem even in larger spaces. Paid street parking outside or a metro station just a few yards away. Note there is a much lower cost Rubell museum across the road and a much better cafe at Rubell.

In all the years that I lived in Miami, I never once visited Viscaya; I live in shame. Mostly…read morebecause when you're local the mentality is, "why pay to see a fancy house? you can drive by coral gables or south beach and see them for free". I will say, the grounds are absolutely delightful, especially if you go in the Springtime as we did where flowers are all in full bloom, that alone is worth the ticket price. The architecture is exquisite! A feast for the eyes in so many ways. When we came to visit, they were doing renovations. You could see the water damage on the roof and walls, probably caused by one of the many Summer storms, because of that the tickets were at a discount that day but we were still able to appreciate the beauty of Viscaya. There are two cafe's. One in the garden of the main house, and another across the street where farm animals use to be kept. Surprisingly, the food and drinks are reasonably priced. The day we were there, a wedding was going to take place and there was a lot of commotion going on. Fancy tables being set up, fine china, crystal glasses, the whole works. We asked a security guard how much it costs to have a wedding reception there and he said: "Just to rent the space, no tables, no nothing, starting price is 100k". So if you have 100k lying around, and plan to get married soon, this could be an option for you. Jokes aside though; I'd definitely visit again.

I have been here before but this time there was a lot of construction going on. I am glad to see…read morethat they are preserving the house for the future. We were able to see most of the rooms in the house and almost all of the garden. We were there the last week in April. The flowers were not popping as they were the last time I was there in July. I am not sure why that is. I do wish that they kept the ocean front a little cleaner. There has to be a way to clean up the sargasm and trash on a daily basis. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Took 4 young boys (18 months to 6) to the museum for something new to do. Coming from West Palm,…read morethe Brightline was a great option to get there and is a short walk or car ride away. The primary focus of the museum seemed to be the aquarium. The boys really wanted to see the dinosaurs and the museum houses a small exhibit. there were many options for the kids to interact with throughout the museum and they came away with big smiles. As an adult, I wished the museum were laid out differently to enhance the flow from one exhibit to the next. Easy access both inside and outside. Ramps between floors and elevators made access with wheel chairs and strollers easy. Parking is relatively expensive but leaving the car at home and taking Brightline made that part exciting for the kids and more relaxing for me.

My husband and I visited this museum as part of our day trip to Miami. I wish parking wasn't so…read moreexpensive ($18 flat rate). It took us about 2.5 hours to explore the entire place including the planetarium show. The show that worked out best with timing was called "How to Die in Space: An Interactive Adventure Through the Cosmos." The girl leading it was wonderful but as you may figure by its name, the show was not a peaceful experience. There were a number of explosions that I think scared some of the kids in attendance. The other exhibits included one about flight, the human body/mind, an aquarium, dinosaurs, and general Florida wildlife. I can't say I learned a terrible amount of new information but it was fine. I appreciate the museum's mission and it probably would be cool for toddlers-little kids.

The Dolce & Gabbana "From the Heart to the Hands" exhibit is in a separate building down the street and is 100% worth the admission if you're into fashion. It was 3 full floors of couture. There was so much to see, I actually had to take a lunch break and come back. A total dream getting to stand inches away from that kind of craftsmanship. It was well curated and immersive. Every room had a different scent. The gallery attendants were all super friendly and knowledgeable. Apparently they are trained by the Dolce group directly. Highly recommend, check it out!

I came (pun intended) here this past Saturday as the first stop of the Vibration pub crawl along Washington Avenue the location to pick up the ticket. The organizers at the front desk by the entry and a good variety of red and chocolate wines as well as a cocktail. I enjoyed both of the wines with the red being a good social lubricant. As far as the museum, it occupies two floors. The ground floor had a Kama Sutra sandbox bed (with art engraved on the bed posts). There were also a few engravings as well as a live music show as part of the pub crawl. The second floor of the museum had mostly books and paintings.

Parking is available in the garage across the street for an hourly fee paid by meter. The only downside to our visit was the abrupt behavior of the rude staff -- at exactly 3:51 PM, they came in and announced that the museum was closed, turning off the lights without any prior warning. Official closing time is 4:00 PM, so a more courteous heads-up would have been appreciated.

I would say this is a museum for kids/families only…read more First off for parking, try to find parking on the streets nearby rather than in the lot as they charge $30 which is a rip off. As for the museum, it's inside a large warehouse. There's bathrooms in the beginning and in the end only, so make sure you go before you enter the museum. You are also not allowed to bring any outside food or drinks in but they don't check your strollers or bags for things. As for the exhibitions, some of them were better than others, but a lot seemed really tailored to kids. Some of the rooms were really boring with just balloon creatures standing there while others were more interactive. The place also was pretty toasty so dress on the cooler side. They have AC but it's summer in Miami so it gets hot inside despite that. It wasn't too crowded so you could still enjoy all the rooms without feeling overwhelmed. Would I recommend this to other people, probably not for the price point, but if you have kids and it's a rainy day it's a good activity to bring them to. It took us about 1.5 hours to slowly make our way through the whole thing.

I almost missed them. The staff was helpful and friendly. They guided and pointed things out to me. They added to the experience. They seemed knowledgeable and to love their jobs. The museum had a valet parking option. It was $20. I saw some street parking around, not to many spots.
