Field Trips in Miami and Beyond

One of the major perks that homeschooling in Miami offers is taking the classroom outside. There are no walls when you homeschool and no limits to what you can incorporate into your curriculum. And Miami offers a ton of opportunities to visit and explore any number of exciting places, from nature preserves to museums and more.
Here are a few places you or your Miami homeschool groups can experience with your students:

Jungle Island – Jungle Island is home to some of the world’s rarest and most exotic animals. Park guests enjoy engaging animal shows and informative exhibits while strolling by streams and waterfalls under amazing tropical trees. Guests can choose to participate in hands-on interactions with fascinating animals or go on guided behind-the-scenes VIP tours. Jungle Island also offers homeschoolers a variety of interactive activities.

American Police and Hall of Fame Museum – The Museum offers interactive displays, simulators and almost 11.000 artifacts that educate the public about the history and current trends of law enforcement in America. Students can learn about safety, science, forensics and more.

Deering Estate – The Deering Estate preserves the 1920s era Miami estate of Charles Deering, Chicago industrialist, early preservationist, environmentalist, art collector, philanthropist and first chairman of the International Harvester Company. The estate offers Virtual Programs that focus on topics such as scientific method, archaeology, ecology, biology, marine science, and earth science for children of all ages.

Gold Coast Railroad Museum – The Gold Coast Railroad Museum is a great resource for kids of all ages. Afterall, most kids enjoy trains but not many get to see the train that President Franklin D.
