- fancydancer59Minneapolis, MN63 contributionsWe spent a leisurely three hours, exploring the estate and the lovely gardens. Definitely do one of the tours if you can, although the audio tours are also good. And leave enough time to wander through the gardens the formal gardens are beautiful and the informal gardens our place to get lost and relax. And the history of the estate is intriguing.Written January 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AMnashville18 contributionsI would recommend this spot as you would a gallery but if time is limited - this is one to skip and just walk around the Wynwood neighborhood for much more interesting work.Written January 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- V T9 contributionsThis was an incredible experience! You are welcomed from the moment you enter the door, lovely ladies at the counter were very helpful. If you can, go ahead with Christian.

- 32MortenFinland437 contributionsWe liked the building and views very much. The exhibition of Mariano Rodriguez was great. However, spatial art had too large portion in exhibitions - and somecases in a way which was too near Science centers.Written January 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- K_BlessedGainesville, FL87 contributionsIt isn't perfect, but my daughter had a blast. Some elements were not working, and the pricing is a little high, especially for a 19 mo. However, there was something for kids of all ages. We loved the music wing, which was highly interactive. Many of the art activities come at an additional charge. You can easily entertain a kid for hours, so pack accordingly.Written January 14, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan BIpswich, UK31 contributionsLovely museum!
My partner and I visited while in Miami, the aquarium was great, we could have watched the sharks all day! The planetarium was fun too.
Other than that it’s a fairly simple, very interactive place! Good for kids!
Does make me realise how lucky I am to have amazing, free museums in the UK though.
Worth a visit.Written January 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you are mainly interested in learning about the area - I suggest you go to the second building first. Also if you park at the multilevel parking garage across the street from the museum you can have your ticket stamped and only pay $5.Written January 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- packerfan71Atlanta, GA57 contributionsThis venue on Calle Ocho is very friendly. Pablo, the host, goes out his way to share the history of Little Havana to guests. The artwork covering the walls of this bar is beautiful and full of historical significance. The live music was joyful and fun. They serve excellent mojitos.Written March 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- FloridaDigs3 contributionsFabulous experience led by knowledgeable docent, Joel. Great variety of art. Registration and masks required.

Highly recommend.Written August 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anahita RWashington DC, DC44 contributionsWhat a fabulous thoughtful collection.
I loved it.
If you like modern or contemporary meaningful art, this is the place.
There is a $15 admissions fee but it’s worth it.
Don’t miss this new museum if you are visiting DC. It’s a must. Take advantage of it now, I am afraid in a few weeks the tickets will be sold out.Written November 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In the museum we were given a tour by two great people. One was the sister of a participant in the Bay of Pigs and the other was one of the young men trained by the CIA to participate in the Bay of Pigs. We got to hear firsthand from the tour guide that was held prisoner by the Castro regime for a year. He told us about the prisons, the incompetence of the U.S. government in planning the ill-fated invasion and about life under the Castro regime. In just two hours we learned so much! This place is truly a treasure! As an added bonus, admission was free.
I strongly recommend this place to any traveler who finds themselves in Miami.Written December 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Admission to get in is $10. They didn't mention that the Magellan costs $5 extra - figured that out when we got out there. Luckily we caught the last tour of the day. Amazing opportunity to see that car. A lot of history. Nice gift shop. If you're a rail fan, it's a must see.Written March 14, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
