This is at once a beautiful site, with gorgeous flowers and covered walkways, and a horrific reminder of how bad the world can be. It's difficult to describe, with the sculptures hard to look at and the inscriptions hard to read. However, everyone who visits or lives in Miami should go there. So we never forget.

This memorial though peaceful, is pure reality of what the Holocaust was. A very emotional and moving experience and one of the most impressive.

In sunny Miami Beach life looks good, and you are far away from the dark side that was the 2nd World War. The Holocaust Memorial gives respect to the victims of this terrible event. We have been to a lot of memorials in the world, this one is very impressive. The sculptures are incredibly made, they really show the fear... More

As the daughter of Holocaust survivors this place has special significance to me--it is a somber and peaceful place to reflect on the horrors of this not so distant past period. I found the many sculptures increased the visceral impact of this powerful memorial...Obviously, only a very tiny fraction of the 6 million are inscribed in the wall...I could not... More

I have seen many holocaust memorials but I particularly liked this one as it is an excellent one for families who want to teach their children more about the holocaust. When I was there with my husband at 9:30am, there were not too many people there and it was very peaceful and moving. As you walk through a path you... More

I like the art is in there, a must visit place, it will take you at least 1 hours with no rush.. You only pay... More

Very moving memorial. Make sure you have time to read and think through this park. The statue is only part of the draw, very well done.

My husband and I had decided to check out this memorial based on what I read about it on TripAdvisor. It was the most amazing thing we experienced while in Miami. I don't think words can describe the emotion that is brought out when visiting this site. Completely randomly while my husband and I were there, a woman and her... More

I was on a bus/walking tour and was not able to remain at the Memorial for more than 20-25 minutes. But they are some of the most memorable moments of my entire trip to Miami. The sculptures are magnificent, especially when you emerge from the tunnel. I was literally startled by my own emotional reaction. Such a beautiful and haunting... More
