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.

The property and history is pretty amazing. As many other reviews have mentioned, a good portion of the rooms and structures are closed for renovations. They have reduced the entry to $20 from $25 but it still was a little disappointing that the casino building and several rooms in the house were closed. Being that it was the offseason, some of the gardens did seem to be past their peak. We hope to return when everything is open in season and tour the whole facility.

This place is extremely overpriced for what you get. The overall experience was underwhelming and,…read morehonestly, pretty boring. There are only five exhibits, so it doesn't take long to see everything. The "heartbeat" exhibit also felt misleading. The employee pointed to the exact same light for every customer, which made it seem like the personalized result wasn't actually based on anyone's heartbeat. Overall, I wouldn't recommend spending your money here. A more reasonable price would be around $15-$20 per person based on the experience offered.

We paid $20 each admission walked past the wall of vulvas to the penis bed. We walked upstairs to see the galleries. The Wilzig was created in 2005 by Naomi Wlzig as the only American museum dedicated to fine erotic art with a renowned collection of over 4,000 international artworks dating from 300 BCE to the present. This collection is distinguished by quality, diversity, and unique focus on erotic themes.. We began by watching an 8 minute videos with Naomi. Founded in 2005 by Naomi Wilzig, the World Erotic Art Museum (WEAM). She teamed up with the Kinsey Institute, The Research Center for the Cultural History of Sexuality at Humboldt University in Berlin & Florida International University (FIU) -- College of Communication, Architecture, and the Arts (CARTA). There were many galleries with comfortable seating spaces and clean restrooms. We spent about an hour here wandering around the maze of 20 small rooms. We passed lots of international photographs, wood carvings, sculptures and paintings. There was a room filled with Miami Vice memorabilia; photos, clothing & tchotchkes. The World Erotic Art Museum (WEAM) presented Mark Kostabi: Revisited, a striking exhibition of 14 new, large-scale, faceless paintings created for the museum. While living & working in Rome, he explored themes of eroticism, technology & the paradoxes of digital intimacy. Highlighted were sexting amid digital distraction, and a surreal portrayal of 3 nude women taking a group selfie; juxtaposing joy, sensuality & technology. Gorge Daniell presented gay themes through photographs & paintings of glamorous celebrities, and scenes of everyday life in pre-and-post-war America. His works were featured in major magazines, including "Time," "Life" and "Esquire," and was also displayed in the Smithsonian, The Museum of Modern Art and the Chicago Institute of Art.

The Balloon Museum is a pop up museum at the Mana Convention Center in Wynwood!…read more We booked our tickets far in advance to try and get the early bird discount but the process to redeem the discount was super confusing and my cousin ended up buying all of our tickets at full price. Definitely pay attention to the different types of tickets and try to see if you can get a discount. I ended up getting my boyfriend's ticket the day of and there was a FL resident ticket that ended up being cheaper than even what we paid for months ago. As for the museum itself. It's easy to find since its at the convention center. There is parking on-site right in front of the museum but it's $30 all day parking, which is pretty steep. We ended up parking at the street metered parking and paid half the price for an hourly price. Try to do street parking since it's a lot cheaper. It wasn't too hard to find either which was surprising since we came at 3pm on Saturday. Entering was super easy and the museum was a lot bigger than I was expecting. There were a ton of rooms and many photo-worthy moments! We came with my group of cousins and my cousins' two-year-old. It was a great time and I think it was one of the most extensive and immersive museums I've been to in a while! They're here until September 27 so definitely check it out if you have time to!

The Balloon Museum in Miami was a spectacular experience and made for a fantastic date outing…read more Every exhibit invited you to interact, explore, and, of course, snap plenty of photos. While each installation was fun in its own way, a few were genuinely immersive and left a lasting impression. Her Joy in particular is one I won't forget anytime soon. It was beautiful, thought-provoking, and just a little haunting. If you're looking for something different to do for a couple of hours, whether it's a date, a family outing, or a day with friends, I'd highly recommend it. It's creative, playful, and a refreshing reminder that art doesn't always have to be observed from a distance.

When we arrived around 4 PM, the parking garage was full and we were told we would have 10 minutes to find parking. We got really lucky and were able to secure a spot. Parking was $18, which is pretty normal for downtown Miami, and it was convenient being able to park on-site. I would not consider myself a big "art" person, but I really enjoyed some of the exhibits, as well as the fun Chromosaturation room. Afterwards, we were able to check out the Resilient Lady ship as she was leaving port of miami, which was nice and relaxing. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and would definitely recommend checking it out, especially on one of the free admission days.

I would recommend going with a group as sometimes if you want a picture together, it may be difficult to find someone right away, but usually an employee came by at some point to help with photos. We did do the additional "zero gravity" for $2. It was less zero gravity and more just turning your phone while you walk, but still fun. Overall a great time was had by two 30 something adults.

I think…read moresome people avoid this place because they think of it as a place to take selfies, when it's more of a giant studio with interesting backdrops. I would recommend coming with a group as it's more fun that way, especially when you overcome the initial awkwardness of how much everyone hates to be photographed. Plan this as part of a series of activities in Wynwood as parking can be brutal and there are a lot of cool things to do within walking distance

Every single piece of art was so informative and it truly blew my mind away to see how far we've come over the decades with regard to sex erotica and fantasy. Not only is the museum fun and interactive, it does have a section where it goes through each decade of time dating as far back to the 1920s and talks about toys, birth control methods and erotic filmography, etc. Inside the "erotic carnival" portion of the museum, each display is interactive, which means you scan your phone to this QR code and you basically get to play different games & win prizes! It really is like a carnival for adults! I definitely recommend going here with your girlfriends or even your partner. (one of the displays actually lets you "get married" and prints a certificate at the end, so cute!)

I wish that there were directional maps given so that you can follow the exhibits, know what to anticipate for, and see where the bathrooms are at because they are located at the surprise portion of this self-guided tour. Also, no food or drinks permitted in this place, so I straight up had to chug my tiger thai milk tea boba drink omg. Love the interactive games that you can pay extra for if you run out of game credits. Game credits allot you just enough to play each game once, which I will not list in this review bc truly a surprise. Opportunity to win prizes, as you pictured with me. Take as many pictures and videos while you are here! Stayed here for almost 3 hours and had wayyyy toooo much fun.
