The Whole Package Be sure to check out special family packages and children’s programs when you check into a major chain hotel or resort, boutique hotel, condo-style rental or all-suite property. From meal deals or kids-eat-free programs, to special kids-stay-free pricing or tickets to local attractions, perks might include recreation vouchers and rooms designed with kids in mind. Many familyfriendly hotels in Miami also offer special welcome amenities like backpacks filled with goodies — beach balls, activity books and cameras or sweet treats, for instance. No Boredom Allowed While mom and dad enjoy some much-needed quality time together at the hotel spa or golf course, tykes stay busy in
full- or half-day camps featuring supervised kidcentric activities that might include anything from arts and crafts or sand castle-building to swimming lessons and shell gathering. Location, Staycation, Daycation... Many Greater Miami hotels offer attractive weekend and even daylong packages for locals with deals, discounts and special offers. Some hotels run two-day room stay deals, and some offer discounted spa treatments, gym and pool access packages for single-day use, even if you don't spend the night. Beach chair, valet parking, or cocktails and snacks may be included. Packages are limited, so keep your eyes open or contact your dream hotel for special promotions.

The Orange Line provides a reliable and seamless Metrorail connection between Miami International Airport and Downtown Miami. Metromover features individual motorized cars that run atop a 4.4-mile elevated track looping around Downtown Miami. Metrobus offers nearly 100 routes, including The Miami Beach Airport Express (Route 150), an express route connecting Miami International Airport to Miami Beach in less than half an hour for just $2.25 each way. Free trolleys also operate in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Doral, Homestead, Wynwood, the City of Miami and Miami Beach.
To learn more about public transportation options, visit www.miamidade.gov/transit or call 305/891-3131.
