Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 1.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Miami instead of crossing town between them. 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.
