Hands down one of the best museums in Miami. One of Coral Gables’ finest landmarks. It’s the best $5 tour I can think of, our guide Laura was amazing.

What a beautiful tiny park, full of tropical plants and with a small pond! There were cichlids, koi, and I believe a parrot fish! Divine hidden park

Historic place, great to learn how the city of Coral Gables was conceived by Mr. Merrick. To the negative reviewers, it is history if you find it boring don’t go there but don’t bash the place either. And to the reviewer who gave one star because the museum was closed? Really?

This is the childhood home of George E. Merrick, the founder and developer of the City of Coral Gables. This historic landmark originally began as a 1903 frame house, and was added onto in 1910.

The Merrick House of Coral Gables is a must in Miami. Everyone should go to get to know why it is such a beautiful community. The tour guides have first hand experience on the history of the community, and the family that had the dream to envision it. I would recommend stopping here first, then walk down to the venetian pool through the beautifully banyan tree-filled streets, and finally to the biltmore Hotel.

Recently renovated, the Merrick House is the former home of Coral Gables founder George Merrick. Stroll through the garden or gaze at the fish pond before touring the house. Local events occur here throughout the year so be sure to visit.

Great Place to visit and take a few photographs

If these walls could talk... a wonderful collection of objects , stories and home space to experience life of those early pioneers as they adapted their living conditions in this subtropical weather and turned Coral Gables and Miami into cities.

Surprisingly interesting and entertaining. Fabulous tour guide. I highly recommend this museum, never would have expected the wonderful experience and fascinating history of the founder of Coral Gables. Y'all gotta go and check it out.

Very nice place to visit. Have very good history and tour guide is very nice lady too I recommend this place

Thus is an interesting stop for tourists interested in the foundation of Coral Gables. See how the founder lived, prior to his eventual financial ruin. Regular garden events and scheduled tours of the home are typically free and enlightening.

Nice place to visit. Although closed for repairs, you could check the exterior of the property and ready information a long the way.

So much history, like going back in time

Beautiful house

We learned a lot of interesting facts about the family that started the Coral Gables dream. In the house it all started. A beautiful reality today.

I attended the house tour and a lecture on a Sunday. It is well kept and a jewel in Coral Gables that is worth to explore.

Excellent host today for our tour! Darriel was amazing and such a wonderful ambassador for the Merrick legacy.

It was still closed to the public when I went by first week in March. But a Coral Gables police officer recommended taking a moment to walk around the garden and seeing the lovely fish pond. We did and it was a lovely 15 pause in our day.

Very nice Historical House and very knowledgeable personnel working there explaining in details all details about Merrick.

The Merrick House is now open and it is a fantastic place to learn the history of beautiful Coral Gables. The docents do a wonderful job of giving an informative tour and the gardens are lovely!

Awesome

For those who loves history and want to learn more about Coral Gables, this is a place to go. Visited by our Miami 24/7 Plumbing crew.

This is a very special place. Joann was an outstanding, enthusiastic, and energizing docent. We learned a great deal about the home, the history of the town of Coral Gables, and the Merrick family. We were left with a great respect for the family and all they accomplished. This was a whole house tour and the home contains many original furnishings and artwork.

Beautiful gardens, house had some restorations done during covid. Not open yet, it was a private dedication ceremony in honor of Arva Moore Parks McCabe and the Coral Gables Garden Club.

Amazing and beautiful place you can’t missed

Closed for remodeling

(Translated by Google) very boring (Original) muy aburrido

(Translated by Google) too bad you can't stop by the car! Historic house in the area that definitely deserves a ride! (Original) peccato non ci si possa fermare vicino con l auto! Casa storica della zona che merita sicuramente un passaggio!

(Translated by Google) Fantastic. (Original) Fantastico.

This is a Very important historic site, as George Merick, founded the city, in the lands inherited from his father, in 1922.

Nice garden was smaller than expected unfortunately the house was closed but it looked nice from what I could see.

Website advertising home was open.......it was not! Make sure you call ahead and are not disappoint like I was.

Great food, and very good merchandise.

Its beautiful house

Really cool old house on coral way made of coral.

I have been wanting to see the urban light art installation for a while and finally made the trip down to Miami. It is well worth the trip but even better to see at night. Unfortunately, I didn't get this opportunity but next time. The lights are so unique, showing the many styles of old miami street lights.

Great view and i wish i can go that place

(Translated by Google) Beautiful area (Original) Hermosa zona

(Translated by Google) Spectacular gardens. (Original) Jardines espectaculares.

Coral Gables History Started There!

Lovely, quiet..!

Beatiful!!

(Translated by Google) It cost us to visit her. According to all reports, it opens daily and it is not true. Open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 13 or by appointment. Once we were right with the schedule the problems were finished. The house is delicious but the two ladies who were there deserve special mention. All were facilities with a pleasant and detailed explanation. You can not lose it if you go to Miami. The histories very interesting and sooner or later go to the Coral Hables museum. Going to both places you will have a complete view of the beginnings of the neighborhood. (Original) Nos costó poseer visitarla. Según todos los informes abre a diario y no es cierto. Abre sábados y domingo de 10 a 13 o con cita previa. Una vez que acertamos con el horario se terminaron los problemas. La casa es deliciosa pero merecen una mención muy especial las dos señoras que había allí. Todo fueron facilidades con una explicación amena y detallada. No podéis perderosla si vais a Miami. La historiales muy interesante y antes o después ir al museo de Coral Hables. Yendo a los dos sitios tendréis una visión completa de los inicios del barrio.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place, it hurts that the bathroom is always closed. (Original) Un lugar sumamente lindo, lastima que el baño siempre está cerrado.

I went to this park for a photoshoot and it left me pretty speechless. The house is so vintage and beautiful! There's many colors that pop and the Ocean is right next to it. There's also a huge field of grass where many event/activities take place. I heard they also do a night tour which appealed to me very much and id like to do it some time. Overall, very nice, huge park, with lots of nature and beautiful history!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful! (Original) Precioso!

This was a lovely experience! We went on Saturday afternoon & had an intimate tour with one other family. Highly recommend doing this to learn history of the coral gables area & see the beautiful uniqueness preserved in the Merrick house.
