Located on Watson Island, this museum is a wonderland. The Snoezelen Room, tailored for children with sensory processing disorders, is a peaceful oasis amidst the urban hustle. Additionally, the Miami Children’s Museum Charter School offers an enriching educational environment for kids. While Watson Island doesn’t currently offer residential spaces (coming soon), the nearby Downtown Miami neighborhoods provide a blend of city conveniences with easy access to the museum’s offerings.
