Miami Children's Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Maurice A. Ferré Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo, families, and families with kids who want a planned Miami outing without improvising between stops.
