MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sure, South
Beach is known for its sexy, sultry, sometimes racy side, but it's
also a PG paradise for families looking for a beachy keen vacation
with sun, sand, surf and plenty of kid-friendly activities,
attractions and even New Year's Eve celebrations where the little
ones are 100 percent welcomed. Family-friendly hotels on South
Beach include the Tradewinds Apartment Hotel, Waterside Hotel, and
Riviera Suites South Beach, a trio where tots are treated like VIPs
and where parents can rest easy knowing the wee ones are having a
wonderful time.
At the whimsically retro Waterside, a pop of Technicolor shines
off the crystalline courtyard pool, where it's always a
splashy affair; with rates that appeal to families not looking to
spend their children's college funds on a fabulous vacation, the
Waterside's bright, modern apartment suites offer full kitchenettes
that are perfect for feeding and snack time in between jaunts to
the beach, pool, and city.
For larger families looking to sprawl out for extended stays,
Tradewinds Apartment Hotel offers large studios, one- and
two-bedroom apartment suites, all with full kitchens, throughout
several Art Deco buildings connected by lush Miami Beach landscaping and palm trees. A
stunning pool and on-site laundry facilities make for a
home away from home vacation that's ideal for big families or just
ones who need their space and comforts of home.
And while these two stellar stays are in quiet residential
neighborhoods, some folks prefer to be in the heart of the action,
which makes the luxe Riviera Suites the perfect place to park the
family for the quintessential South Beach vacation. With spacious
and modern suites and apartments sporting full kitchens and
sleeping up to four people, the Riviera with its rooftop pool,
sundeck, and courtyard pool, offers all sorts of South Beach
vantage points for the entire brood.
Though each property offers its own distinct personality, the
common thread between the trio is its family-friendly vibes and,
for the grown-ups who've had a long day entertaining the kids, an
open bar every night from 7 p.m. to 8
p.m. either on-site at the Riviera, or at sister properties,
The Catalina and Oceanside Hotel.
With a home base on South Beach, families can easily explore the
city's culture, beaches and attractions by foot, Uber, car or
even boat. A day at the beach is always a fabulous option for kids
of all ages, where a day of sandcastle building, sunbathing,
swimming, boogie boarding or paddle boarding will wear the wee ones
out almost as much as a day at the beachfront North Shore Open
Space Park in the popular North Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach featuring skate park, playground,
sports courts, exercise trails, the North Beach Bandshell, which
hosts free family-friendly shows, concerts and movies, and, of
course, the beach itself, a quieter version of South Beach's.
For animal lovers, there's Jungle Island, Miami Beach's landmark eco-adventure park
where neon-hued flamingos, lions, tigers, and baboons pose for
pictures in interactive animal exhibits and where brave folks fly
through the sky on ziplines or via the park's wild,
wind-tunnel-powered free flying experience. For younger kids,
there's the Miami Children's Museum, where hands-on exploration is
the only rule to be followed. Across the causeway on the mainland
is the magnificent Frost Science Museum, whose Instagram-worthy,
three-level aquarium is an awe-inspiring look into So Flo's aquatic
ecosystems. A day in Wynwood looking at the museum quality street
art, or on Key Biscayne at the
Seaquarium are also very popular family activities. Throw in some
movies, a day trip to the city within a city, the Aventura Mall,
featuring every store on the planet, a zillion restaurants, and a
massive slide, and the vacation itinerary is pretty much
complete.
Restaurants popular with families are aplenty on Miami Beach and range from fast food gems
including Lincoln Road's Shake Shack, to Ocean Drive's sugar high
haven, Sugar Factory American Brasserie, where Willy Wonka wonks out on South Beach with huge,
colorful candy-coated, candy-flavored food, drinks, and whimsy. And
then there's the newly opened Taco Taco, located at the Catalina
Hotel smack in the middle of South Beach, which happens to be
hosting one of the area's only kid-friendly New Year's Eve
celebrations, a Mexican Fiesta with live music, DJs, specialty
acts, buffet and open bar where kids under 12 aren't only welcomed,
but they're free to attend – as unheard of in these parts as snow.
Between the awesome accommodations, the city, the sun, the sand,
the New Year's fiesta, and the spectacular beachfront fireworks
display, families will no doubt be looking to next year for a
repeat performance – that is, if they haven't already decided to
extend their stays into the new year!
