Here are a round up of activities that will expand your horizons this summer.

6. Coral Gables Museum

The Coral Gables Museum once served as the city’s first court. Today, in addition to offering several architecture- and design-related exhibitions, it stands as a 5,000 square-foot plaza that hosts everything from street fairs to waterway canoe tours. Just steps away from the Coral Gables Art Cinema, Books & Books, and Miracle Mile, the museum’s location is also ideal for an afternoon stroll with the family. http://coralgablesmuseum.org/

7. Second Saturday Art Walk

The Wynwood Art Walk is held the second Saturday of each month when the worlds of art, street performance, and music collide for a night of fun and creativity. Thousands of people crowd the streets — and the food trucks — to take in the Miami art scene in such a unqiue way. http://www.wynwoodmiami.com/todo.php 

8. Everglades National Park

Less than an hour south of Miami, the Everglades is a world to be discovered. A vast subtropical wetland, it is home to three parks, each one remarkable in its own right: Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Biscayne National Park. Whether you’re planning to hike or kayak, you’ll be sure to spot rare and familiar species on your journey into the wilderness. https://www.nps.gov
