Why you should go…

This playful Watson Island museum, its candy-colored architecture is hard to miss from the MacArthur Causeway, is built around role play. Kids steer a cruise-ship bridge, scan groceries in a pint-sized supermarket, run a mini bank, and climb the two-story Castle of Dreams sandcastle, with galleries themed to health, art, music, and Miami's port life. Admission runs $26 (Florida residents $20, under-1s free), parking is $2 per hour, and it pairs neatly with Jungle Island next door for a full family day.
