    It's worth every penny!- Ticket was $25, and you can only buy them online. The villa was built in the 1920s and was a technologically advanced house for that era. The architecture is from the Italian renaissance period with a modern touch. Exquisitely preserved and very impressive, this residence was established with the primary goal of entertaining guests. Beautiful architecture and interior with amazingly well-preserved furniture, tapestries, and murals. The gardens are stunning and magnificently maintained. Morning is the best time to go; there are fewer people in the morning, so I recommend planning for the morning on a week day to avoid crow. Manatees were around the docks! We didn't do the audio tour; the information on the placards is good enough to tell the history of its construction and some environmental factors that threaten it today! There's a cafe shop on site, and the food is okay. The walk through the gardens is pretty level, with occasional stairs. A dream place for photographers, art and architecture lovers, and history buffs. The villa has featured in several movies and is also a top wedding destination. Expect to spend around 1.5 to 2 hours fully exploring the mansion and gardens. The Museum closes around 4.30 pm.

    Beautiful landscape, unique decor and tons of history packed into this place. Lots of art decor and history. The complimentary audio tour provides a great selection paced tool too explore this marvelous mansion. Tons of nooks and crannies to explore. The gardens are breathtaking and beautiful. Between the main building, the gazebo, and the gardens, there is no lack of photo opportunities. Spent hours exploring and enjoyed every minute.

    Very cool! I loved visiting. Beautiful home and gardens. Great info throughout with context on the lives of the family. Very busy and kind of pricey at $25 per ticket. There were a bunch of older people who didn’t get the concept of a digital ticket so that held up the line, we probably had to wait 20 minutes for a process that could have taken 5. Maybe fire signage or a separate line for those that need assistance? Also man, I got so sweaty exploring the gardens haha. More water fountains would have been appreciated but that might just be a me-thing. Inside the home was air conditioned which was nice, lots of places to sit and appreciate the architecture. It was very busy when I visited so we had to wait to read some info or see in to some rooms. We went on Sunday and we’re there around 11 so definitely prime time for this experience.

    This was one of the highlights of my first trip to Miami. $25 admission when you buy online or you can see what discounts you’ll get when you purchase in person. I easily spent 3-4 hours here just looking at the mansion and then admiring the garden and ship outside. I can’t tell you about parking because we just took an Uber here. Service was superb. Employees do an awesome job at keeping this place clean and immaculate. I’m sure you’ll see people dressed up just to take nice pictures but that’s not mandatory. Dress however you want but make sure you know how to take pictures with the right angles. Or at least find some of the younger people to take pictures of you. It can get crowded at times depending on the day and time.

    As someone who loves architecture, I have been wanting to come here for a while and this place did not disappoint. Lovely outdoor gardens scattered with truly unique structures set against the waterfront. I loved the small maze garden we came across and the fountain with tiny lily pads. Its obvious great care was taken to create and maintain this historic site. We went around 10:30 a.m. and it got hot pretty quickly so the coolness of the home was welcome. Also delightful to see how well-preserved the place is and to learn about the story behind it. Felt very COVID-safe walking in larger open spaces. We didn't opt for the guided tour but probably would do next time we visit. Would be hard to tour and view the whole space on just one visit. And wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses. and sunscreen. Worth a visit if you're visiting Miami for a long weekend.

    I remember the first time visiting Viscaya few years back I was so impressed by the majestic architecture and magical gardens. To this day, it feels just as gorgeous and breathtaking! 🤩 We chose to see the beautiful gardens first and then the stunning estate. The property covers 43-acres and was built 1914–23, there’s a lot to see here. 😍 Take the tour to the historical museum and feel the elegance of the place. Allow yourself 3 hours to explore the museum and gardens. You can buy tickets online, or if you’re getting specific discounted tickets you can buy at the admission window. U.S. military and veterans FREE admission with valid ID! If you want to avoid crowds, I recommend you visit on a weekday. So the same applies to parking, you may have to park on the parking lot across the street if you choose to visit on a weekend. We wanted to have an intimate daytime garden wedding ceremony on the beautiful grounds. Unfortunately, they do not allow chairs, wedding canopies or runners for the daytime garden ceremony. For that reason I can only give them a 4-star rating. 😞 This is a must see landmark for an adventure of a lifetime when you are in Miami! 😃

    Beautiful museum & grounds. Free parking. Adult admission $25. There's a free self-guided tour via a phone app (details on a sign when after the admissions counter). We took our time, had lunch in the cafe (lovely food), and walked the grounds in about 4 hours. The only downsides were: school tour with really noisy kids, "influencers" blocking the tour route preening and posing for pictures.

    The architecture and the gardens are a visual treat, making it an ideal spot for photographers looking to capture beauty and history in one frame. However, I couldn’t help but wish they offered student discounts. As a student, such a thoughtful gesture would have made the experience even more accessible and enjoyable. Despite this, I found the visit incredibly worthwhile. It’s fascinating to see the opulence in which the wealthy lived. Overall, I’d recommend Vizcaya Museum to anyone interested in photography, history, or just a glimpse into the luxurious past. It’s definitely worth a visit.

    This was an awesome museum/garden to come and visit! I took my siblings here around 10:30am and they enjoyed every bit of it. I recommend buying tickets online so getting into the museum is quicker since they just scan it at the window. When we walked through the museum, all of the rooms had signs with educational descriptions about their history and some fun facts about them. Everything was neat and tidy and it was a pretty big museum to walk through. After walking around the museum we headed outside and then walked through the garden as well. The garden was maintained very nicely and there are many picture spots to roam around. Every angle of the garden looked amazing and many spots were also wheelchair accessible with ramps. There are also restrooms and water fountains at the corner of the garden. I recommend going earlier around opening time if you like taking photos since it got pretty packed around the time we were leaving. I'll definitely be making a trip back here to show my parents!

    This was my first visit to Vizcaya and it didn't disappoint. I had a great time with my family and was mesmerized with the amount of history this place holds. The areas were maintained in optimal conditions as well as the gardens. Plenty of parking spaces at no additional cost. I will advise you to go as soon as they open since there are a lot of areas to explore and it could get crowded. Also, it gets very hot and there are not many areas to sit, take plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes for the garden area. Great spots to take pictures, the only places off limits will be the rooms. I went on a weekday, and there were a few quinceaneras taking pictures in the garden area, so please be mindful. To be honest, I would have liked to be able to enter the rooms to see more details, some of them are very narrow and you can't really see from the doorway. There is a small gift shop/cafe hidden in the back area, make sure you visit for cute souvenirs from your visit. During our visit the security guard from the second floor, Hugo, was super nice and told us a lot about the history of the place, very interesting! I wish we had a tour guide like him. That’s one of my suggestions to have Spanish/English speaking guides since a lot of tourists visit the place. My parents only speak Spanish, and it was very nice of him to give them an overview.

    My family and I had a wonderful time at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. It’s basically just a mansion with beautiful scenery both outdoors and inside. The experience is more about seeing rather than doing. What I would recommend is that you throw on a nice outfit and make sure your phone/camera is fully charged so that you can take plenty of pictures. It’s the kind of place where anywhere you stand has a magnificent view.

    This is a must visit! I never get tired of it! Beautiful gardens, especially if you love orchids... House is amazing! There is a small gift shop and restaurant with outdoor seating. The breeze by the water was welcomed on a very hot day. Better not to go at midday.

    What a beautiful place in the middle of Miami. It's amazing to see what they could build and what they did build. The gardens were spectacular and what's there is only half of what used to be there. To think how they built these things back then it had power elevator electricity. the gardens themselves took 12 years to build

    It's a beautiful building to look at the inside and surroundings of. The landscaping and interior/exterior decors are truly amazing even in today's world. Doesn't have much of a historical significance or a remarkable back story. It was the house of a wealthy and private person named James Deering. A nice spot to go and take photos of yourself in if you have the time.

    We absolutely loved this place. Takes several hours at least to walk through everything. If you appreciate history, it is money well spent. Costs $27 per adult. The audio tour was great! Unique and Interesting architecture, everything is kept and maintained very nicely! So much to see. Some of the most beautiful gardens I have seen, I especially loved the Orchidarium. If you are in the area, worth seeing this beautiful place!

    I love Vizcaya. This place offers a look into old world money. I also really enjoy the gardens, it is not a large place but has a lot of photo ops . It costs about 24 bucks to get in. Folks do a lot photoshoots here.. not sure how much that costs or if you need a permit.. I suggest you check their website for details. You must check out the gardens, main house, the barge .. very beautiful locale

    Definitely glad I decided to visit. Wow what a beautiful place. From the gates you drive into, to the architecture, and the gardens, it makes you feel like your in a different time. The gardens were my favorite part. You can definitely get lost there. Unfortunately the upstairs of the estate was closed for renovation but we still spent a good 2+ hours there. If you need some refreshments, they have a nice cafe at the beginning. You can sit inside but I'd recommend sitting outside if weather permits. There are also beautiful views of the ocean on one side. If you like taking photos, it's also fun to get a little dapper. There are so many photo ops at various angles and levels. I will say, however, our group had a stroller, not the easiest or very handicap friendly. All in all, great time and wonderful place!

    Gorgeous architecture and gardens. 100% worth the price of admission. You can spend countless hours pouring over every inch of the property. Just make sure you bring an umbrella and lots of water for the outside areas! The heat was gnarly. P.S. the food in the gift shop was also great!

    Such a peaceful, gorgeous place. It truely takes you back to the gilded age of American Prosperity. Purchase tickets online so you can go right inside after scanning at the box office. They have restrooms outside, plus place to eat and gift shop. It was an adjustment to spend hours in the mansion and gardens, then see the modern Miami skyline upon leaving.

    Really enjoyed this gallery and its pretty gardens. Initially thought $25 per person was a bit much for a gallery, but once we arrived, it was totally worth it. The house is big, beautiful, and looks like a picture, plus the gardens are well-maintained. The ocean view is stunning. Planning to visit again on our next trip for sure.

    Such a beautiful home with stunning views, beautiful gardens, and a little cafe to boot. I'd always heard of it from friends who did their Quinceñera photos there but didn't believe it would be so amazing. Every room in the house takes your breath away and the gardens are phenomenal. Great for dates, history buffs, antique collectors and appreciators, art lovers, plant parents, and photographers. Wear comfortable shoes because you are DEFINITELY getting your steps in!

    If you’re looking for a romantic setting for photos, look no further! I can’t recommend this place enough. It. Is. Stunning! The place is massive so I recommend going and keeping that in mind so you can explore the whole place. There’s a cute gift shift to the left of the main house/mansion and a little coffee shop where you can get food, snacks, and something to drink. Definitely bring comfortable shoes if you really want to explore this place - which I recommend. I highly recommend for photos, any kind, but especially engagements. The parking can be a little tricky, we had to park across the street and then walk over which isn’t a big deal but it took us a little to figure it out. Prices are for the day - I recommend spending several hours here and really taking your time.

    A place to visit again and again. Every time I go there I notice new details, the mansion is so breathtaking and magnificent that sometimes it is difficult to see all the opulence and elegance in a single visit. Its definitely worth it to go, you have to expend more than few hours and you never get bored. Every room is a masterpiece compared with the one before. The garden is incredibly beauty and every single part of it is a nice spot for a photo. The mansion have beautiful views of the ocean. Be there is the best way to forget the crazy life from Miami. Vizcaya is the perfect place for a photo shot.

    Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is a semi-historic place designed to look much older. We had a fine time walking around the place and saw a few iguanas. The history explanations were minimal, which I think is not from commission, but rather that this house was a winter residence, only for a few decades, and does not have much history at all. Overall a gorgeous house and garden, and I'm glad I visited, but I don't think I'll be spending the money for another ticket/visit.

    This place gets 5 stars without question. The tickets are purchased online and only $25. Something to do for the day that’s inexpensive, learn history and take plenty of memorable photos. You have access to the mansion and the garden of this visit. I say you may need to take out minimum 4 hours of your time to see everything this place has to offer. I went on a hot day and walking through the garden was torture. Thank goodness I brought my small umbrella. I took over 100 pics that day, LOL! Definitely going back with a larger group of friends!

    This is a great place to relax and have a piece of history. Every corner is full of details and architecture. The gardens are magnificent to take a walk, some pictures and breathe fresh air. During summer it is hot because of the humidity, but you can always walk back to the main building for some AC.

    The museum is gorgeous. If you are in Miami you must go here. The price is $50 card only, we went on Friday at 1 pm it was not crowded. You can buy your ticket online or there. There is a cafeteria in the museum. it is a very recurrent place for photo shoots and it is bc every corner is beautiful! I recommend to start with the gardens are huge and then with the house, I finished all museum in 3 hours. The house yells: my owner was multi millionaire!

    This was a cool place to visit. So many photo ops. Since the gardens are vast, it does not feel crowded. There are pockets of serenity and privacy to relax. Then when you are overheated, head into the museum for a much needed break from the humidity. I am glad to have stumbled upon this place. Visited in October 2019.

    Interesting museum. The home is huge - mansion sized. Throughout your tour, there will be various stop points to learn more about the home's history/history of the people. I didn't try the free audio tour, but I imagine it would have made the experience even more enchanting. The artifacts are well preserved, but you can tell they are antiques. The gardens are beautiful. There are lots of flours to see. Great place to sit and just enjoy nature. I loved the statues surrounding the gardens.

    Literally my favorite favorite place in Miami! Such an amazing mansion, with great water view and great indoor and outdoor architecture! I just loved the garden and all the beautiful details of it. This place looked like a heaven I would love to live an eternity in!!! There were many brides and many influencer taking pictures there and I, with my rock themed clothes, was so sad that I wasn't wearing anything fancy to be more picture worthy for this place! I will go back with lots of make up and a fancy dress. Moral of story, WEAR FANCY clothes to this place, you won't regret it!

    This was an amazing experience!! I was blown away by how romantic and well kept this place is. I went alone and took in the beauty (well my phone died halfway through!) but it made me really appreciate the detail as well as people watch. This is very worth it for $25 in fact I’m connected f back to Miami just to experience it again. It felt like I had stepped into a city in Europe! Don’t pass up the opportunity to see this place. Magestic is the perfect word

    If you live in Miami, near enough, you should always maintain a membership. I run over, spontaneously, throughout the year… it clears my head out & makes me feel like I had a getaway. Plus I love to take photos… Maybe eat at Café & grab glass of wine for your garden walk. And… the [full] Moonlight Tours: wow. They sellout months in advance. 👌

    Great place to visit in Miami. The house is magnificent. The artistry and opulence of the mansion is breathtaking. The surrounding gardens are very beautiful and we ended up staying for over 3 hours just marveling at the sights and taking pictures. You won’t be disappointed. There was free parking on site as well, which is a bonus.

    This was a beautiful piece of South Florida history to see. Incredible how it was built and maintained in the early 1900s. The only drawback was the number of events and portrait photographers who were they. Daily visitors were definitely not first priority and that was frustrating after paying $25 to see it. But I still am glad we went.

    Individual admission per adult is $25. Coming from Europe, this museum didn't impress me much. Inspired by the combination of Italian Baroque and Renaissance architectural styles. Very majestic inside, but much prettier and the gardens. If it hadn't been so hot, we would have wandered around for hours! It took us an hour to visit the whole place.

He gave us more information about the house and James Deering! It was really interesting to see this vintage mansion up close with all the real architecture and original rooms😍 10/10 recommend visiting! Both gorgeous on the inside and outside.

    The number one place to come and visit in Miami. It’s an oasis of beauty and nature in Miami. Buoy at the turn of the last century, Vizcaya is a true architectural and artistic gem. Italianate villa build in the Miami Everglades when Miami only had 10,000 residents. The museum is well cared for and is stunning. We’ll worth a visit. Parking is easy and you simply buy your tickets online prior to entering.

    Lovely house, great audio tour that you can use on your way around, exploring the grounds; I would definitely recommend listening to it, so bring some earphones, but there are also signs with the information on them. The gift shop is slightly lacking, but there's a café. It can get hot walking around the gardens, but there's plenty of well air conditioned rooms inside. Furthermore, it's wheelchair accessible, apart from the second floor in the house, but there's a video guide you can watch. Overall, a wonderful place to visit.

    As a child I visited Vizcaya, it was incredible to come back 20 years later. It was just as I remembered, only slightly smaller as I had grown a few feet. July was very hot, but there were plenty of shaded areas to cool down and a gift shop to purchase refreshments. The housen and gardens were beautiful, and I can't wait to return in the fall/winter.

    Wonderful little spot. See a mansion built in the early 1900's designed to look like a classic European estate. Incredible details available and a free audio tour. Gardens and grounds are beautiful and the manor was lavish. The entire staff was exceedingly kind, they even let us leave our luggage at the front with their staff since we were exploring for the day before a flight.

    Vizcaya is amazing to do on any good weather Sunday … start at the Vizcaya Village with the Farmer’s Market (free to park and stroll around many appealing vendors), then you can do the yoga class outdoors at 9:30 am (pre-registration only for $5), and wrap up with the tasty food sold at the market till 1-2pm. We even ventured across the street to the Vizcaya Museum for a tour and enjoyed the gardens and breathtaking view of Biscayne Bay tremendously. We will be back since we signed up to be Members, and I highly recommend this Mansion / Museum to anyone (locals and - even more so - tourists).

    This is an ok museum to go to. They have a great tour app that you can download and listen to. The parking is pretty well organized. It’s not a gigantic house like some others from the gilded age. The gardens are nice but nothing spectacular.

    This is a nice spot to visit, especially if you're really into historic houses or gardens. On a weekend it was busy, but not overwhelmingly crowded. The history, albeit not terribly ancient, and how it was fabricated, was interesting. The audio tour on the app was very easy to use. They also honor the Blue Star Museum program in the summers, so if you qualify for that, admission is free for a few weeks, and that is definitely worth taking advantage of.

    Beautiful experience in Miami. Its definitely worth it to go, both time and money. Most of the exhibition here are extremely realistic since they preserved them very well. Although it was steamy hot weather, I never felt tired because of their atmosphere. They have cafeteria on the west wing ground level, have some Iced American Coffee. Its fun to see how Miami people call American coffee for regular coffee of Americans. History!

    Beautiful home and gardens. The architecture and history is incredible. The food at the cafe is very good. Lots of walking, so wear good shoes. Plus, have to buy tickets online before hand. The tickets and food are very pricey. We went on New Year’s Eve, so the tickets were higher than usual.

    The ticket price is absolutely worth the experience. Gorgeous mansion turned museum with fairytale garden and grounds. Absolutely shocked this was available to walk through in its entirety. Definitely recommend for a day date.

    This is one of the most beautiful pieces of history in Florida and is a must see. I am going to host my daughters wedding here. I have visited four times now and still am blown away every time I visit.

    Simply amazing history, architecture, views, and all during a nice walk around the property giving you a nice daily exercise. All for $25/person. Would do it every time I have a new friend with me exploring Miami. Every. Single. Time. Can’t wait to come back and take more photos.

    Very enjoyable tour of historic house & gardens. The interior courtyard in the center of the house & gardens were my favorite. The food in the cafe was tasty, but somewhat pricey. Good weather definitely will make your visit most enjoyable.

    La verdad muy muy lindo, la entrada cobraron $25 y el parqueo $0 se los recomiendo para ir en familia ….la historia está bien explicada si leen en cada letrero frente de las antigüedades… el muelle es impresionante 🤩 y los jardines muy lindos para caminar y apreciar todo me encanto se los recomiendo un montón se gastan aproximadamente de 2 a 3 horas si no quieren dar 2 vuelta por los bellos jardines

    Beautiful gardens and house with an interesting history! The museum guides were very knowledgeable on our tour and the grounds were maintained beautifully. The coffee from the small cafe was good too. This is a must see! The only downside was the limited parking!

    This mansion in these grounds are absolutely stunning. I thought I'd be in and out within an hour but I found myself here for almost 3 hours there's just so much to explore so much to see It was amazing. While I was there there was a wedding rehearsal going on and I was so jealous knowing somebody was going to use this place as a wedding venue If you got that kind of money I highly recommend it It's beautiful

    If you enjoy history and architecture you should have a great time here. Heck, I would go as far as to say there's also some great views of local fauna (Alligator, pelicans etc) and plants as well. Great as well for pictures with your significant other, kids or even solo. Preferably you want to come here when it is not rainy or else you will miss the outside of the house.

    Great place, great weather. Food was a bit pricey for me, but not a big deal. Garden was also great. The water view was beautiful. The museum itself was very interesting with much history. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 David G. 10 months ago on Google
    The garden was unbelievable! The house was built in the early 1900s and is what you'd expect for luxurious from that time period but just seems more odd at this point in time. It's still an extraordinary achievement to have built this place the way they did 100 years ago and it makes you feel like you're walking around the set of a classic gangster movie

  • 5/5 Dorothy T. 10 months ago on Google
    Truly enjoyed this beautiful location! Tickets were purchased right at the entrance online, $25/each. Many areas to tour inside & outside of the house & gardens. Very hot in the sun outside would recommend bringing a battery powered fan, hat, water to keep cool & sunscreen.

    El lugar me gustó mucho,en 1.30minutos se recorre todo,cuesta 25 dólares la entrada por persona..es un lugar muy lindo para tomar muy buenas fotos y admirar todo...lo tienen muy bien cuidado...lo que me asombró fué las camas tan pequeñas...creería q parecía para los enanitos de blancanieves...literal..pero fuera de broma quedé muy satisfecha con toda la arquitectura de esa casa

  • 5/5 Ben C. 5 months ago on Google
    Well worth the trip. Reasonably priced. Took us about 2 hours to get through the grounds. If you are any way interested in history, art, or architecture this will be worth your while. Beautiful facility. Well ran and kept up.

  • 5/5 Anneken 1 year ago on Google
    It is beautiful. You really get a feeling of how they lived back then. So many wonderful details like the ceilings. The gardens are organized but yet so wild. I saw so many different types of lizards running around plus a raccoon and a duck. At least I think it was a duck. Also, very importantly, the visitors bathroom was very comfortable and clean. A big plus!

    This mansion and it’s surrounding gardens really make you feel like you’ve been thrown right into a movie. I loved walking around and seeing the opulence. It made for many a good picture opportunity. There were so many well-groomed gardens that it took a few hours to properly appreciate them all. Learning about the history of the mansion was fulfilling and made you think about the opulence of the elite. During our visit, we also ate at the cafe. Rather expensive, but it was worth it, given our secluded dining area we sat in. (If given the option to eat at one of the two tables next to the pool, take it.) Although entry itself is expensive, I still recommend taking time out of any visit to the Miami Area to visit Vizcaya if you are interested in natural beauty or wealth.

  • 5/5 Crystal C. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a beautiful day. We spent about 2+ hours roaming around the gardens & inside the house. We worked up an appetite so we headed into the little Cafe & ordered a couple cuban style sandwiches, drinks & coffee.

  • 4/5 Rachel J. 2 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful piece of history that's been well preserved. Wear mask in the main house, but you may remove mask outside in the garden; the gardens have nice shaded benches to sit and talk. The cafe was okay. A few items on the menu were not available, otherwise, the food we did have was tasty, decent temperature and of good portion.

  • 5/5 Soumya P. 6 months ago on Google
    It's Absloutely an amazing place to spend the day here. ✨️ LOVED how this 100 year old place is maintained. We get a glimpse of history and experience how they lived looking at the details so well kept here. 👌 History + landscape + architecture + beauty + mediation all in one single place 💕

    Wow! Must see place for everyone visiting Miami! Amazing historic landmark with jaw dropping gardens! At the entrance ask for Vanessa, she was a great help for navigating me around. Top top sightseeing 100%

  • 5/5 Bianca P. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning & historic gem in SoFlo. The tour guides are enthusiastic and engaging. Came on a Saturday, lots of visitors but there was a wedding that day. Few visitor recommendations: • there’s walking so come Dec-Apr time • come in the mornings (to avoid the midday heat)

  • 5/5 Cas 7 months ago on Google
    Historic home in it's 20's furnitures ( I liked the entire cabinet just for the phone). Nice gardens. A coffee inside for a break if needed. It will saw your kids what was the life of rich people of this time.

  • 4/5 Don Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Came back after 17 years. This time I was here with kids. Now with A/C!! Great place to spend an hour and half. Not too many things to see but the garden was still in great shape. Kids were excited chasing geckos. Brought lots of memories when I and my wife were still young. Great to visit again.

  • 5/5 Chuen C. 7 months ago on Google
    The landscape is breathtaking even there are areas needing reconstructions. The design of all rooms is unique for each room. The open space and walkout French door style create ventilation and circulate cooler air to upstairs. The meal ordering device in the kitchen is so convenient for guests. The chimney and drainage system on the roof are functioning well as it rained hard during our visit. Amazing experience that brings me back in the early 20th century!!

  • 4/5 Nicolás G. 5 months ago on Google
    It's a beautiful place and a great stop you can do in your way to Coconout Groove. The gardens and structures are clean and well maintain, but the ticket per adult to enter a little over price in my opinion. There is small restaurant, but not nothing that impressesd me. Overall, it's still a good place to visit if you have the time and budget.

    Beautiful! Friendly staff at the entrance, friendly welcome team inside. The bathrooms were clean, the whole place was great. Parking might be a challenge but I got uber and even he was confused. A hidden gem I recommend visitors to take a tour. The best part, VETERANS GET IN FREE. Thank you for that privilege!! GO ARMY!!!

  • 5/5 Cindy A. 8 months ago on Google
    Deering was a man of splendid taste. Love the telescope and kitchen. Always wanted a George Washington kitchen. If you are military or vet, show your ID for free entrance. I could sit and stare at the water for hours. Take good shoes, water, a hat or umbrella. You will walk a lot and sweat. But it is worth every drop.

  • 5/5 Michał G. 8 months ago on Google
    Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami is an enchanting step back in time. The historic mansion's exquisite architecture and meticulously manicured gardens create a captivating blend of elegance and nature. Walking through its halls feels like a journey through history, while the breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay add a touch of magic. A must-visit for those seeking beauty, culture, and a glimpse into Miami's rich past.

    I’m in love with this place! Would never imagine to have a little Italy in the Miami! Great gardens, pretty picturesque architecture, definitely worth visiting, especially if you’re looking for piece, majestic views

  • 5/5 Rino S. 7 months ago on Google
    Villa pregevole struttura, mobilia e giardino incantevoli.

  • 5/5 Studio Z. 8 months ago on Google
    The museum and grounds are a fitting pair in this coastal setting that changes with the seasons. There is something wonderfully contemplative about the accessible walking garden. Along the central green axis at the base of a waterfall leading to fountains and in the shade of lovingly manicured trees. There is a sense of refuge in the bustling metropolis of Miami. This location is great for all ages and deeply memorable . If you are planning to visit between April and august plan for a mid-morning non-rainy day or something partly cloudy as the primary shade features are found either within the historic building or surrounding the central pond

  • 5/5 Karel R. 5 months ago on Google
    History in Miami? Yes, this wonderful place, between tropical coast and European architecture (with Asian touches in its decoration) (Greek, Egyptian, French, Spanish and nothing Latin), total views for all tastes, and good vibes. Get to the mangroves and please don't leave trash. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Evick B. 4 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful place to visit. Me and my wife loved this place. So much history in every corner. It took us about 2 hours to see the whole place. Will visit again soon with other family members.

  • 5/5 Liz M. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow! The mansion and grounds are magnificent. Beautiful and peaceful to walk, just stay hydrated if you are going in the summer. Perfect place for a photo shoot also. This is a must if you are in Miami!

  • 5/5 Shadasia L. 9 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful place. Many people were having photo shoots out there. The checkin staff was quick and friendly. You can’t see it from main road but GPS gets you there found. I use rideshare to arrive and pickup. There are a lot of lizards running around. But once you start to explore this place it’s really beautiful. The grounds are well kept. It wasn’t too crowded when I went which made it easier to learn and really enjoy it.
