The Little Farm
-If your kids love animals you have to take them to the Little Farm. It’s great to leave Miami city life and take a drive through the plant nurseries and open land. I think this would make a great birthday party location and I’m planning on going back for Family Fun Days next month.

Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden
– I love Fairchild garden and I got the membership so I’m always there! Their cafe has mouth watering salads and a great kids menu. Not to mention you will want to take home everything from The Shop at Fairchild. They have beautiful necklaces for mom’s and fun nature-related books and toys for the kids. The garden is quite large so if you have little one’s bring your stroller.
