Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is a historic estate on Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove, built in 1916 as a winter retreat and modeled on the Italian Renaissance. The mansion still holds much of its original furnishings and artwork, and the grounds include formal gardens, sculptures, grottos, and a stone barge on the water.
Visitors can tour the house, wander the gardens at their own pace, and browse a gift shop and cafe on site. The estate also runs an active calendar: recent listings include Vizcaya Late evenings with live jazz and swing dance lessons, Vizcaya Live concerts, workshops, and a monthly free Night Market in Vizcaya Village.
A contemporary arts program currently shows 'Headwind' by Susanne Schirato. It is open Wednesday through Monday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm and closed Tuesdays.
Tickets are paid, and booking in advance is recommended. The estate is family-friendly, LGBTQ+ friendly, and wheelchair accessible, with free parking on site and military discounts available.
