Respite in Miami
Jul 2019 • Solo
Museum Park is a gorgeous undulating green expanse of 30 acres located in downtown Miami, east of Biscayne Boulevard and hugging the bay. Aptly named, the park is home to the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). Two other cultural institutions, Museum of Art And Design (MOAD) in historic Freedom Tower and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, are just a few short blocks away. The late and famed architect Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum, a stunning architectural gem, is located directly opposite the park and the American Airlines Arena separates it from Bayfront Park to the south. Museum Park offers a welcome respite from the baking heat of downtown streets where the sound of construction and the constant hum of traffic is omnipresent. I took a long cycle through the park early this July 4th morning. Most people were either sleeping in or away for the long weekend as it was quieter than usual. There are several walking/cycling paths and copses of shade trees throughout the park where permanent outdoor sculptures provide points of interest. The beautiful bay walk stretches all the way from PAMM and connects to a long promenade that serves as the main point of entry to the park. The spectacular 20-foot bronze sculpture, “Flora la Recogedora de Suenos,” dedicated to the City of Miami in 2010, is located at this entrance. Breathtaking views of the ocean as well as the glittering and ever evolving Miami skyline surround the park. Ramps provide access to the museums’ terraces and gardens. There are plenty of benches and shaded spots to relax. Museum Park is flawlessly designed and esthetically pleasing to the eyes. The Metromover has a convenient station stop here and parking is available at the museums. A visit to Museum Park is a downtown must!

Sister Birthday no children

We visited the museum on a very busy day. Spring break. Museum is great for children. Lots to see and experience. There’s a discount for Miami residents and also for employees of sponsoring companies. Plan on spending at least 3-4 hours to see all. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. There’s is a restaurant serving sandwiches, pizza and fries.
Better to go during the week, less crowded. Take the metro mover, it’s free.

Stroll Biscayne Bay
Jan 2019 • Family
This January the cruise ship I took from Baltimore visited Miami. On prior occasions South Beach was our favorite excursion. With the weather in mind we decided to take a walk from the ship to explore a segment of downtown Miami. Biscayne boulevard and the Freedom Tower are a short one mile walk from the cruise port across a auto/pedestrian bridge. Our goal ultimately was Museum Park, an additional half mile down Biscayne Blvd. What a great decision on our part. The park offers several different paths to enjoy for shade in the summer and pleasant breezes in the winter. The outer path goes along the bay giving views of the cruise port, MacArthur Causeway and the birds of the bay. We ended our walk at the art museum. Although we did not tour the museum we enjoyed the swing chairs on the museum patio and the hanging gardens around the museum. On the way back to the bridge we to took a side trip to go to the Freedom tower circulator stop. We rode the free circulator loop route around downtown planning places to go on future visits to Miami. By the time we returned to the ship our exercise trackers indicated that we walked an easy four miles over 3 hours. South beach is a good beach/bar destination but there is much more to enjoy outside of the beach.
