This place was amazing! I learned so much history from this one place! You could literally spend all day in this place looking at all the different exhibits. It doesnt matter if youre 1 years old or 100 years old. There is something for you here. I highly recommend for any history buff.

My boyfriend drags me to all kinds of musuems which I find utterly boring however I did enjoy this musuem and learning about Miami, it was well put together very clean people were very friendly

As a history nerd, I really enjoyed learning more about the origins of the Magic City. Definitely a good place to stop by when youre in the area, if youre a history buff like me.

On my own person I feel proud that Cuban and Haitian community have a museum in Miami. My experience on the museum was good. The tutors where explicitly and consistent.

Mi experience at Miami History Museum was really constructive because i learn a lot about history about Cuba and Haiti and how similar their cultures are. Thanks so much to the guide tours we had one of them was Cinthia .

There are lovely people here and details here about the city of Miami I found very useful. Its good to get a strong understanding of Miami, before you get to deep into the visit. Its a very interesting city.In this museum, youll find more information about Miamis past and present. You feel discouraged by the news of all the colonial warfare, uplifted by the revolutions and timeless sites of the city, and creative about how all of these projects and ideas could be intertwined and evolved to form other more peaceful societies as we progress globally and culturally. There are timeless pieces here, and pieces you wish you didnt know of. Im confident the ideas in this building will make you think and start afresh about your career and sentiments towards different politics and life in general. Miami is a very globalized city with very locally specific cultures, roots, and ideas.

The place is a true gem with friendly staff as well. We got the library pass so we gave it a try during weekend. There are 2 section North and South buildings. If youre a NFL fans, dont miss the north.

Wonderful place. Friendly and helpful staff. Large exhibits throughout. Multiple audio languages available. Parking across the way and they stamp your parking ticket for discount ...$5 for the day.

Excellent Museum and Curator. Just wish they had more on modern migration of people from Central and South America as well as the Caribbean.

Super Bowl volunteer events. The Miami History museum is a must see. It depicts miami in its infancy to modern day world class city. I also got a chance to see the NFL exhibit from Joe Montana jersey to Jerry Rice and a host of others. To cap it all off. The interactive kicking and throwing exhibits. I had a great time.

Great museum, always visit when Im in town. Theyre displaying Super Bowl memorabilia from Canton. Very cool stuff, display until early Feb 2020.

Very friendly! Awesome history and exhibits. We will come back again.

As a Florida native I enjoyed the visit to the museum. Loved exploring the history of South Florida...friendly welcome and staff.

Miami’s definitive history museum! They have an awesome showcase of South Florida’s history dating from the Neolithic to modern times. They also host events such as Komorebi ( a bonsai enthusiast group ) and many others.

Really nice time on family fun day.story tome was good.enjoyed playing on the trolley also.arts and crafts was also cool. The exhibits were interesting. So much to read about.have to go back another time

Good place to know about history. They have guided tour for free. The fee is 10 for adults and 8 for students.

This is a beautiful museum, a Miami gem. Everyone, locals and tourists should visit this place. Great for families with kids, but also amazing for people interested in art and Miamis unique history.

Awesome, great information, good to understand our history. Miami, I love it

Absolutely worth spending time here. Staff is really friendly and helpful (special thanks to Ashley). Its the first thing you see after getting off the train station.

Visited for a childrens event day. Everyone was friendly, great crafts and events for the kids.

We had such a great time at HistoryMiami! Beautiful museum, tons of artifacts and photos. Staff was amazing and pointed out activities/exhibits which would be of interest for my three year old son. One staff member, Bill, pointed out a “secret” trunk full of pirate costumes - setting the tone for an amazing visit. We all had a wonderful time and will be back soon, my son can’t stop asking to “go back to the old Coconut Grove house!” We loved learning about our history as Miamians, thanks for such an amazing experience!

Amazing relics from the Native Americans to first settlers to Colortown then the drug runners & immigrants all the way to today.Every item reflects our Miami!

I’ve lived in Miami my whole life and only recently did I go to this museum. It’s super nice and interesting showing a lot of Miami’s history and quirky artifacts that really shows how miami is a mix of cultures and such a beautiful place because of it. It’s definitely a place for tourists to visit and see the history of Miami in its entirety and a place for Miami residents to visit the past. Awesome experience and definitely recommend visiting!

Gridiron Glory exhibit is definitely worth seeing for the football fan in your life!

Pleasant staff. Enjoyed the Miami Map Fair. Good venue

It is convenient place in the downtown. There were volunteers who were very helpful and recommended me to use the free audio commentary.Their collections of old south Florida was impressive.

Very helpful staff, both on the phone and at main desk.Parking IS difficult in area for a large truck with handicap chair hoist on rear. Despite parking being validated by museum we got charged full amount.The Hurricane Andrew exhibit is very good and a great reminder for citizens in hurricane-prone areas to pay close attention!I loved the People Of Miami photographic exhibit too, and the artifacts from native peoples of The Americas.The history of Florida settlement was a bit hard to follow, it seems to jump from ancient native settlements to the Spanish Armada arrival to the Henry Flagler Era, to Cuban Migration...the timeline just seemed haphazard to us.All said and done it is a beautiful facility and we had a nice time.

Really nice place to visit with the family and spent an afternoon learning about Miamis History. I like this museum! Theirs is something about this and the older Museums like this one and the old Miami Planetarium that I enjoy. (Miami Planetarium is now closed due to the Frost.) The new ones are nice but they lack the warm relaxed feeling you enjoy while walking around learning something. The more modern ones they are way to stressed and commercial.

Great venue of displays spread through out a few buildings. Many interesting artifacts and photos of Miami history.Art work of various kinds, sculptures, photos, etc., showing the growth, cultural mixed and uniqueness is exhibited. Staff is very supportive, friendly and helpful. A good place to visit snd learn about the evolution of Miami.

I learned a lot when I went and I had a lot of funWill go again

Great place to read, well equipped

Great place to teach the kids about history of Miami. I recommend 2nd Saturdays with family activities and free museum access...

The HistoryMiami Museum is something not to miss if you want to know how South Florida came to be. The North building is a treat with history dating back to the native Tequesta Indians thru the land development of Coral Gables up to Hurricane Andrew and it’s devastation. The downstairs at the time I visited had a great photo display of the Jewish community living on South Beach during the time of the 1970’s, 1980’s and early 1990’s. The South building on the first floor was setup to show items from the mix of cultures here in South Florida. Not all items were of historic relevance, but they we’re culturally significant. There is a parking garage which was only $5 for those visiting the museum.

Well displayed timeline and history of Miami with great artifacts, photos, and local stuff in the main bldg. Second bldg with traveling displays was good, but plan to spend most of your time in main bldg. Well worth driving downtown to the must, allow a few hours minimum. Staff is super friendly and helpful too.

Not a lot to see, exhibitions are only of turn of the century Miami not very well maintained. Is a shame because Miami has a lot of history to share. With such a big building I found a lot of wasted space. They opened it and left as is.

I visited History Miami Museum with my classmates from my English class and I felt so welcome and so part of the History inside of that place, because Im Cuba and they talked about immigration, which it is basically a big chapter of the history of Miami. I didnt like the moment when the intern girls supposed to help with the presentation. They were just talking in the corner, while the guides were speaking; nonetheless, the guides were amazing and knowledge about what they were talking about. I really enjoyed it.

In addition to their wonderful exhibits and outstanding, knowledgeable, and friendly staff, they regularly host fun events for the community. They are extremely accessible to the community at-large and I love working with them in educational capacities.

The best museum in town!!!! The staff is awesome, very friendly and helpful. Ive been there many times and I always enjoy and feel welcome.

The HistoryMiami Museum at first it really surprised me, there were so many photographs that have a history behind them. Each and every picture that was on the walls had an interesting event that had happened in Miami. I saw so many antique artifacts, and objects and I wonder what the history was behind but I didn’t get those questions answered because the two tour guides focused too much on the history of immigrants. Notwithstanding the tour guides hard work and performance but I started to feel far away from there, distant at some point that I was making a huge effort on paying attention. I am not saying that I dislike knowing this information, on the contrary, it is interesting but I wanted to hear something new.

Delightful selection of artifacts and photos. Easy to navigate the exhibits. It can be rather chilly inside, so if you are like me and get cold easily bring a lightweight jacket. There is a parking garage a block away.

Dont miss out the opportunity to visit this museum. I really enjoyed be in touch with the history in Miami and also learn pretty much where those people came from. The staff are amazing and they know everything in this place.

Excellent location, great collection of artifacts and historical archives. The space is well maintained and very clean. Well worth the price of admission!

Very nice museum on the history of South Florida with many interesting exhibits, spanning from prehistoric times to the Cuban Diaspora. My only complaint is the parking situation, which is not ideal, but pretty good for an urban area.

Loved it, found it very interesting and the people there were real sweet: from the front desk to the girls roaming around they were all great. The parking garage is a bit difficult to get to if youre not familiar with the area and I didnt see any security (I went on a Sunday) or cameras in the garage which did not make me feel my car or my family was safe. Also if you dont get your parking ticket validated parking prices are through the roof! Love the museum hate the parking. Highly recommend History Miami Museum any day.

The museum has really interesting history about Miami. The pictures we saw there transports us to that century. The tour guides should focused more of the history of every object or artifact, at least make a brief explanation of what we are seeing there, after all this is like a journey where work is to navigate you trough there. I didnt feel that connection, in fact, I felt distant and really bored, I wanted to get out as soon as possible. Even though they have really good history there, they emphasize too much on the immigrants story, they should improved the way to interact with the visitors and how they connect with them. It was an amazing experience.

Great place to learn about local history. Great place to bring the family.

Be sure to visit this place with children. They need to know the history of the Miami city, the beautiful place where they live. Many patterns of events become clear. Dont forget your student ID card to receive a discount at the entrance and there are also discounts for customers of the bank of America

In this place there are many all family activities and you can bring your kids for cultural fairs and other cultures demonstrations like in recent nice Culture Fest. And you have also the public library that is another excellent options for kids some weekends.

Detailed, beautifully crafted exhibits.

They have the NFL 100 exhibit going on now and its Great! Check it out!!

A really nice place full of history. Quite and peaceful.

.Cool atmosphere, amazing historic and contemporary exhibitions

Great experience. Nice way to spend 2 or 2 1/2 hours exploring Miamis history. Park in designated park garage and take the overpass to the garage. Get parking ticket validated for free 2 hours of parking. Museum guides were very informed and helpful.

Went as a chaperone in a middle school field trip. Great experience!

Great exhibits very informative great place to take your whole family very educational for kids and for parents also. They had a mix of all years of history of Miami thats what I like to see. Also the entire staff was very helpful & informative. I will be back for sure

I contracted with History Miami as our venue for a judicial reception. I am totally happy with the space and assistance of the special events staff. They provide tables and linens along with the space which really helps a lot. Thanks Yeseny.

Was.there for.the volunteer Superbowl get together great fun no parking

Nice history of Florida, park next door they validate for part of the cost.

Very interesting and informative exhibits. Great history experience in Miami.

The inside of the Museum is really amazing. Pictures and old things inside the Museum is the plus in the place . Now, the parking it sucks . Not recommended at all. The guide tour spoke to fast . Sometimes, I can even understand what he was saying. However, the place is really nice .

I especially enjoyed how the museum keeps the fact of natives being in Florida. The additional football museum was a great perk.

Had such a wonderful day

Worth spending the day learning about our communitys history. Enjoy

Had a great time here l went on a free day but general admissions is 20 for non students.

You must visit some of the pro football hall of fame in Downtown Miami before the Superbowl

Really nice exhibits, great place to visit if youre interested in the history of the magic city.

Great history museum within beautiful plaza in downtown Miami. Many events and lectures. Some free.

Ive been living here since 1980 and its the first time Ive been in that part of down town I enjoyed the Museum very much looking forward to going again especially the football part.

Staff was nice and the exhibits were laid out perfectly. I really enjoyed it!

Great gallery enjoyed it.

Place where you can go and find some information about how Miami started. How people from many countries came here looking for freedom. Also, how people from Haiti influenced other countries to fight to be free from slavery.PARKING $5.00. The place is in Downtown Miami and they have their how parking which you can validate when you get out of the museum. Dont pay $20.00.Dont be afraid from homeless!!!

What a great experience my family & i had very educational & informative especially your new exhibit queer miami. your employee crystal was very great how she explained the whole beginning to the end of the new exhibit she was very knowledgeable . my family & i had a great time . When my relatives come down i will bring them to visit History Miami.

Great show, Football Hall of Fame Gridiron Glory, for football fans young and old.

A very fascinating and educational experience.The HistoryMiami Museum is a wonderful, informative, and educational experience that people of all ages can really enjoy. Im a child at heart, so the hurricane Andrew exhibit really captured me. The hurricane simulation room is a rather exciting and educational addition to the museum, and the knowledge of the scale of destruction caused by this storm will leave you speechless. Along with this, there are many other works of fine art and displays that will engage your mind and fuel your imagination.

Comprehensive museum of pre- through current Miami and regional history

Great illustration of history of Miami area, from 12k year ago till now

Recently visited History Miami Museum only to reunite with the planetarium projector used at the old Miami Museum of Science. I didnt have any expectations for the rest of the museum but was totally blown away by the end of my visit. If youre a transplant, tourist, or born and raised, History of Miami Museum is an absolute must visit. Extremely well put together and helpful staff.

Great museum - takes about an hour or 90 min.

While I walk through the building of The Miami museum the only time history included ADOS(American Descendants of Slavery was in sports football & a photo of Muhammad Ali. I find it hard to believe the only time you speak of ADOS when it’s to our shame, marching or entertainment. When we clearly understand we have sharp the world. The only history America wants to reflect of ADOS is slavery and protesting, knowing this is not our only place in history. This shows you clearly the KKK hand is still working within the system. However they give praise & glory to the Cuban migrants glorifying their drug era with gang violence. Yet I see nothing taken from Overtown, Coconut Grove, South Miami etc..,history . Now the Anglo Saxons desire the communities, that a once upon a time where the only places ADOS were allowed to go. Besides Entertainment Miami reflections of ADOS is degrading However I did not expect no more than what my eyes seen. I came to confirm my speculation. Miami and the World views of ADOS. I see picture art from every country but from countries out of Africa.

This is a must visit in Miami. I really enjoyed that there’s a museum dedicated to the history of this city.

I always enjoy visiting HistoryMiami! The photography exhibit was great! Staff are helpful and knowledgeable. I go with friends and family several times a year.

This place houses al sorts of Miami membrobilia from the past hundred years. interesting, contravercial, exciting and fun. a good place for folks of all ages.

I could spend all day there! Fascinating memorabilia and exhibits detailing history of Miami. Admission is $10, but, if available, get a free pass, up to 4 visitors, from Miami Public Library.

I really loved the visit at the History Miami Museum. Ive learned a lot of things that i didnt know about Miami immigration. The only negative comment is about one of the guide, sometimes I couldnt hear and understand him since he was speaking very low. But overall Ive liked everything and its a great expirience.

One of the best museums in Miami. They have an amazing collection from prehistoric South Florida to present day. The exhibits are fun and interesting for both children and adults. Admission prices are much more affordable than other museums in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Want to learn about the Magic City? This is the spot. The exhibits highlights whats old and new about Miami and South Florida. The Streets exhibit upstairs has a lot of info to offer about Street art and Miami culture as of late.

Manny fresh this magic exept that cross.

I love history and this is a decent museum with lots of information its just very dry. They have a few interactive exhibits but there is a wealth of knowledge present its showcased in a rather bland manner.

One of the best things to do in Miami. A definite dont miss! Outstanding collection and context for your visit to Miami

HEY! Ive been there with my family was great. the staff members are super kind .

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I just love museums and this gotta be my favorite.

Great place to see the history of this great city.

Well managed and a lots of great books and information

Great learning experience about our local history here

For the ones that like history is really good.They even have interactive activities for kids.Very nice!

Love it, history as an exhibit is always to the recount of the eyes of the beholder. Exquisite and inviting to heal the wrongs and honor the wisdom of diversity.

Great museum about history of Miami and Florida ! Also, great exhibition about LGBT history. The people were very nice and welcoming, always willing to help and give more details !

The HistoryMiami museum is extremely rich with information of almost every county in southern Florida, dating all the way back to segregation when Overtown used to be called Coloured Town.

Great value for the price. Really nice displays.

It showed us a lot stories about how Cubans and Haitians come and live in Miami. It was good to know that.
