Do we really have to say it? Well, it is HOT out there. But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy Miami. This is the perfect season to visit a water park, so here’re a few options to choose from, depending on location or your interest… or maybe you want to visit them all!!!
Venetian Pool
If you are in the mood for some old time Hollywood glam, then you can visit Venetian Pool in Coral Gables. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this has been a popular swimming spot since the 1920s. It is the largest freshwater pool in the U.S. You can lounge in the beautiful setting, or take a dip in the pool – which ranges from 2-feet to 8-feet deep. There is also a cafe that is used often for weddings and events. Sorry, no kids under 3.
