Get lost in literature at the Miami Book Fair International. Book worms and writers will love this event as it features six nights of lectures, discussions and readings by nearly 350 authors. The event also brings over 250 publishers to the area, bringing books and other literary novelties. Book collectors will want to attend the fair as antiquarians are in attendance, showcasing valuables like signed first editions and original manuscripts.
Snorkel with the fishies, spend a day on a boat, relax on the beach, or suit up for a scuba dive at Biscayne National Park. This park is the largest marine park in the National Park System and protects four ecosystems: a stretch of mangrove forest along the shoreline, the southern portion of Biscayne Bay, the northern Florida Keys, and a part of the world's third-longest living coral reef. All of these ecosystems mean that there's plenty of nature to explore here. There's also a visitor center on site with an art gallery featuring works inspired by the park and other attractions.
See the modern and contemporary works featured at the Miami Art Museum. The MAM displays a collection boasting international works from the 20th and 21st centuries. Renown artists who have been featured in exhibits and attractions here include Guillermo Kuitca, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Susan Rothenberg, Janet Cardiff and George Buress Miller.
No zoological park offers an experience like Jungle Island. This park offers a couple of tours where you can actually touch animals like lemurs and the world's only tame Cassowary. Other animal attractions around the park include orangutans, gibbons, African penguins, Caribbean flamingos, alligators, pythons, tigers, and a rare liger.
