Ticket to Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel is included on this self-guided walking audio tour of downtown Miami and its bayfront. (!) Please note that an audio tour inside Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel is not provided. After your ride, unpause the tour and move through Bayfront Park to the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, then into the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus and its library. From there, the route continues north to the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and Maurice A. Ferré Park, before reaching the Adrienne Arsht Center, Margaret Pace Park, and Kaseya Center. The tour ends back at Bayside Marketplace on the waterfront. Along the way, you’ll experience skyline views over Biscayne Bay, shaded promenades lined with palms, striking contrasts between historic civic architecture and contemporary cultural buildings, and the changing energy of Miami from classroom corridors to museum terraces to arena crowds. Expect memorable moments at the water’s edge, in the museum park district, and among the lively sounds of Bayside.

Directions
Zoo Miami traces its roots to Crandon Park Zoo on Key Biscayne. The zoo later moved to its present southwest Miami site, where more space made a different approach to animal habitats possible. Once known as Miami MetroZoo, it eventually adopted the Zoo Miami name. Hurricane Andrew damaged the park, and its recovery became an important chapter in the zoo’s history. Today, outdoor habitats representing wildlife from different parts of the world make use of South Florida’s warm climate. The zoo also serves an educational role, introducing visitors to animals and conservation. Its move from Key Biscayne, rebuilding after the hurricane, and continuing place in family life make Zoo Miami a recognizable part of the region’s cultural landscape.
