Florida has excellent infrastructure, a fantastic climate all year round, and many entertaining opportunities. It doesn’t surprise us at all that so many songs have been written about this place. Donald Fagen, Tom Petty, Jimmy Buffett…all these wonderful musicians were inspired by this state.

Logically, Miami is the most attractive destination. If you have never been to Miami or don’t know much about it, you have come to the right place. We would like to discuss the most entertaining things to do in Miami for adults. You will get surprised of things you can do!

Enjoy a Diversity of Casino Games

Florida legalized slot machines in 1987 (completely banned in 1937 on referendum). Since then, Miami has become a very attractive gambling destination. Gambling is only available in brick-and-mortar casinos. Although there are options to gamble online, a topic you should read more about before trying this, adults will probably get a desire to visit some of the best Miami casinos!

The best options you have are:

  • Seminole Casino Coconut Creek (2,000 slot machines)
  • Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (100 tables)
  • Magic City (800 slot machines, 2000-seat outdoor amphitheater)
  • Calder Casino (100,00 square feet big, around 1,100 slot machines)
  • Isle Casino Pompano Park (1,500+ slot machines, live harness racing)

Of course, all the above-mentioned premises should be considered a source of entertainment. Don’t go there to earn money; have fun, hang out with other gamblers and, eventually, meet some locals.

Visit Little Havana

If you are a big fan of Cuba but you don’t have enough time to expand your trip, then going to Little Havana would be the right choice. This place is located around 2.5 miles from the Miami downtown. Unfortunately, there is no Metro Station that will take you there, which is why you need to take the bus.

This place is famous for its art, cuisine, rooster statues, and similar stuff. You will, without any doubt, take a picture of all 12 painted rooster statues there. Each one is different in size and design.

Another thing we suggest is visiting the Domino Park. This place got a name because it welcomes some of the oldest residents of this part of the town who regularly play domino.

We recommend visiting this place on Friday. Between 7 PM and 11 PM, you can attend Viernes Cultural, a free event the locals organize. During the event, you can enjoy drinks, traditional Cuban food, and music.

Surfing at a South Beach

It would be a huge mistake not to visit the most popular beach in Miami. Yet, we do not recommend going there just to swim or spend the entire day at the beach. Instead, we suggest people try out surfing.

It doesn’t matter if you have done something like that or not. The entire location is full of professional surfers, some of whom offer training for beginners. You don’t need to bring any equipment; renting it there is possible. Don’t be too extreme if you are a complete newbie, but don’t be afraid to cause some adrenaline rush!

Despite surfing, you can also enjoy shopping and dining. There are many restaurants and malls nearby that will take two or three hours of your day.

Key Largo Marine Life Sightseeing Cruise

Being near the ocean is the best opportunity to explore marine species. Fortunately, a diversity of species lives there. With the so-called Key Largo Princess Glass Botton Boat Cruise, you will get the chance to see a lot of them. This is a relaxing adventure, ideal for couples and groups of friends. In total, the entire expedition lasts for 2 hours. Imagine having this opportunity without getting wet. Doesn’t that seem impressive?

Visit Miami Skydiving Center

Miami allows you to have fun in the air! Imagine seeing the entire city from 10,570 feet above. Yes, something like that is possible if you go to the Miami Skydiving Center, which is located next to Miami Executive Airport.

Trust us, your heart will start to knock much faster because you will be going through the sky at 120 miles per hour. Don’t worry; everything only looks and sounds scary. There is an expert who will ensure you a comfortable ride.

Splat Paintball Park

Is there an adventurer in the world who does not like paintball? Miami ensured the entire park was open for such an activity. The size of the park is two acres, enough to play “hide and seek” with your friends. However, keep in mind that you should schedule a battle before that because this park is almost always full. Contact the employees at least 1 week in advance.

Conclusion

Yes, we know; deciding on one activity from the list is hard. Because of that, we recommend you plan your trip in advance and take into consideration everything we said. One activity per day is going to be enough to ensure yourself a wonderful holiday.
