Magnificent House and Gardens
May 2021
My husband and I started our tour of the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens as soon as they opened at 9:30 a.m. and didn't leave until a little after 1 p.m. This was an amazing house with so much culture. The house was amazing with all of the artifacts and history, but the gardens were equally exquisite! I believe it was only $18 each to visit, and it was well worth that. I was able to follow along with a guided tour on my phone for free, too! This normally only costs $5, though. I would highly recommend leaving the hustle and bustle of Miami and visit Vizcaya Museum and Gardens!

A must see place in Miami
May 2021 • Family
I visited this museum with my boyfriend who doesn’t like to visit “tourist destinations,” but we both fell in love with this museum. Especially the garden is amazing. It feels like you have a time travel to different eras. While the villa reminds European castles, the garden design makes you feel like you’re in ancient Greek or Rome. Every sculpture, every corner of the villa, the overall design is a masterpiece. I truly enjoyed it a lot and we both plan to come back with our families again.

Too much closed off or under repair
May 2021 • Friends
The second floor of the home was closed for renovations, as was the Barge area. Many of the water features were off, areas were not well maintained, and the mangrove area stank. Better to visit the Fairchild Botanical Gardens for well maintained gardens. They should discount the tickets more; they are still $18 for adults.

Beautiful estate
May 2021
It's a beautiful way to spend an afternoon (or morning). The house is very interesting, but the property is probably more interesting.

Elegance that needs attention
Apr 2021
Enjoyable but so sad to see the filthy water in the once elegant fountains, all green with lack of care. Once beautiful to be sure and worth a walk.

Fantastic barge and gardens!
Apr 2021 • Couples
The concrete barge on the bay is one of a kind, the detailed gardens sparks one imagination about the gilded age. The gardens are sprawling and took us about two hours to fully enjoy. Wish more could be done to clean up the statues and fountains. Parking is free and abundant, there's a cafe in the basement.

Lovely morning!
Apr 2021
Our trip to the mansion was enjoyable. We would have enjoyed it more but part of the grounds and the second floor are under renovation. We still enjoyed strolling around snapping pictures. My favorite part was all of the gardens and the pool.

My friend and I are planning a visit soon and we want to take some photos of our vacation fun. I've been reading conflicting reports on Vizcaya's photography permits and need to know before I go...I'm not a professional but I have a dslr and again want to get a few portraits in, however on the weekends it says you have to purchase a $350 permit plus tax to do any kind of posed portrait photography. I feel that's steep compared to other museums/gardens. Some people have said they only paid the $22 admission fee and no one asked about a photo permit, others said they had to pay. There's no clear distinction if travel photography for fun is free, even if its basically portrait photography. Has anyone had experience with this? Thanks!

Why did i received a confirmation number to my tickets online on my spam folder after purchasing them? And i can not download them or even see them. How does it works?

Boa noite! Gostaria de saber se para visitar os jardins é pago também ou só para a visitação da casa. Obrigada!

Sim. Na verdade o preço é único e engloba tudo. Não há diferença de preços para visitar apenas o jardim

Los jardines son amplios, hay escaleras y también escalones, pero están en buen estado. No es necesario subir las escaleras pues hay otros espacios bellos para disfrutar

My wife has mobility problems. She can walk very well on even ground (even on gravel), but she has serious difficulties in climbing stairs. Can she use the elevators inside the villa? Are some paths through the gardens where she might still have access (such as ramps or quite flat stairs)? Many thanks!

Within the house itself there is no mobility access to the upper floor and there is also a few steps to get into the house itself. The gardens are fully accessible for wheelchair users though
