Historic bayfront estate in Palmetto Bay with hardwood hammock trails, shoreline views, and old houses — more of a wander than a playground.
Why kids love it
Ages 3 and under are free, stroller paths exist near the buildings, and the water view holds a toddler longer than a house tour will. Skip the long trail loops.
