If you like art deco, this is the place to see. It's great to walk up and down Ocean Dr. and look at all of the great architecture. Be sure to see it at night also when it's lit with neon lights.

The Deco district is awesome - we really enjoyed walking around the area and looking at the old hotels and buildings. Everything is in amazing condition - all restored and fixed up. It's a bit crowded at night with all the bars and restaurants, but it's a great area - worth checking out for sure.

I was really impressed with this area. It was really attractive and interesting. Really nice for a walk near the beach for something else to do in Miami.

It is an hour or two well spent to wander around this part of Miami and enjoy the character of the many Art Deco buildings.

It is a gift shop only. The "museum" consist of a walking tour of the area. Not bad, but not exactly what you might expect in a museum.
