On Saturday, September 12, the HistoryMiami Museum at 101 West Flagler Street in downtown Miami holds its Free Family Fun Day from noon to 5 in the afternoon. The day opens the institution's history of Miami at no cost, and the museum teams it with guided highlight tours, interactive experiences and hands on rooms so the visit works at the pace of the whole family.

What the free afternoon includes

Besides the regular collection, the program adds the kind of extras that keep the little ones engaged: guided visits for families, hands-on stations, and the building's own discovery routes. Located at the heart of downtown, the museum sits close to the Metromover and the parks of the city center, so the whole day can continue outside after closing.

Plan the afternoon downtown

Admission for the free day is handled ahead of time, so the reliable plan is to confirm the family passes early on the museum's page. The museum tells the story of Miami from its first residents to the skyline today, and it does it better when the whole table is along: the city begins to read like a family story.
