Reviews Deering Estate (Museum) in Florida

John William Bailly

An authentic Miami experience. Definitely take the tour to the Tequesta Burial Mound. Definitely visit the artists studios. Definitely rent a kayak on the weekend. And definitely take a picnic to relax on Biscayne Bay.

Victor Aldrich

This place is amazing!! My wife and i loved it as soon as we saw it. We decided to get married here. The venue is gorgeous, so many great area to explore, the courtyard and photos and everything was phenomenal. 12/10 would go there again and marry this amazing woman in bed next to me sneezing her nose off.

Pat Keebler

Calming, pretty place to walk around and visit. I attended a party in celebration of an artist and is a great place for a wedding, reception, etc. It was a bit warm. Wear clothes to stay cool in the summer and spring months.

Zamira Diaz

It's a beautiful Estate... great bay views, fantastic trails. If you are there during a scheduled tour, definitely go with the guide. The guide was knowledgeable and very nice, we learned tons about the property. FYI- The houses are still work in progress.

Lula Tiggle

No shade for fishing. Otherwise, a nice place.

Babette Trukenmiller

So many activities to captivate the mind, body and spirit! The Valentine's concert is a not to miss event. We were gifted tickets and had such a wonderful night! Bring some chairs and a blanket and enjoy music under the stars. Don't miss the crepes.

Kelly Dyer

Beautiful sunrises

Scott Keever

Ebony Satin

The place and area is beautiful. I had enjoyed exploring the homes and walking down to the ocean....

debra james

The Seafood Festival was awesome as it always is I love the atmosphere of family ! The band was great ! Palmetto Bay is a beautiful area for family and seniors. Hopefully I will be back soon!

Adriana Jakubik

Beautiful place. We had a great time on Valentines concert and picnic!

Priscilla Arthur

I was there to tour the Charles Deering house, but arrived after the last scheduled tour. I was able to buy a ticket and walk through the two houses without any handout information concerning the historic houses. Had I not happened upon a woman who worked at the site, I would have left without knowing anything about the property.

Claydel Lopez

It's a beautiful place with excellent architecture. It's great to find places like this in Miami.

Boris Nikolov

Aimed Cabo Nikolov at deleting estate

Jean Perez

Love this place. We took a boat tour to see Stillsville. Amazing!

Nestor Canizales

Wonderful place, quiet, comforting, nature environmental

omar perez

Beautiful place

Michael Fernandez

Beautiful place during the day and night. Long interesting history, nice interactive ghost/spirits at night.

Michelle Ligeikis

Such a beautiful place to visit! Think about donating to their education fund! It goes right back to the students and schools that are in the area!!

Chris Jacobson

Spent a full afternoon on the estate. Attended a free tour of the preserve that lasted 1.5hrs and was very informative. My self guided walk through the houses was also nice. View of the bay was spectacular with resident manatees visible.

Nancy Perkins

We have gone several times. Beautiful for pictures outside. They have a huge chair to sit in for memories of your trip.

Rigoberto Felipe

My wife and I at home

E Bigdaddy

Nice area

Gustavo Rodriguez

Nice tour

Jamie Reinhart

We recently photographed a wedding at Deering Estate-and it was such a beautiful wedding venue! Throughout our visit the staff was incredibly kind and helpful to my team throughout the day. The evening ceremony on the water was incredible!!

Dianne Aguilar

Nice historical place. Popular wedding venue. Great view of the bay. Very nice to visit during Christmas. There is an entrance fee.

Raul Garay

This place is absolutely beautiful the location is to die for !! Like always time goes by to fast when your having a good time

Mark Harris

Awesome nature tour at the Deering Estate. The property is meticulously cared for and the setting is one you have to see! Great place to see some manatees as well!

Brooklyn Suicide

Beautiful views

Soco Alicea

One of my favorite venues in Miami.

Joe Whittington

The buildings and grounds have a negative vibe, hard to explain. Everything is maintained well and the waterfront area is majestic. It captures a time gone bye with eclectic styles. The trail going thru the woods was wrecked from the hurricane still when I went hopefully it's repaired now.

Joseph Piccini

Great place for a picnic. Old bayfront estate. Where Richmond Drive (sw 168 st. ) meets Biscayne Bay.

William Todd

Amazing estate and tour!

Pedro Paez

Wanted to visit historical places for so long in South Florida (SF). Today as a surprise we visited this historical place. Which pretty much revealed the foundation of SF. Outdoors was in really good condition but, I wish with the help of technology we could see the past and learn from it. Since most of this site was devastated by a hurricane and has been maintained with a strict budget that restrains it from showing the world history of how we got here.

Richard Yang

Did not see anything worth the 12$ ticket. The hot temperature will make it even worse. The Pinecrest gardens or Vizcaya Museum are much better than this place. Besides, the staff was not patient with your questions.

Manny Diaz

Tiny spot into the bay. Peaceful and relaxing and an amazing view.

gilbert peraza

A great lesson in history about people who settled in the 1800s in Cutler part of Miami. Beautiful home beautiful scenic view's just awesome to visit.

Karin Ayuni

Good place to spend some time in nature..the water view is great and relaxing. They have all sorts of events for kids so check their website for that. We saw a manatee here and walking around the place is very peaceful...

Daff Diva

Attended the Deering Seafood Festival today and I must say it was very nice. Lots of delicious food and drinks from various vendors. The weather was sunny with a little breeze blowing. They had a couple of bands playing on the stage. Overall, I had an amazing time here.

Betty Callander

Very lovely and serene.

Alma Barberena

We had an amazing time at the Deering Estates. We went with my son's 4th grade class. We got to make terrariums and also enjoy a cool animal show. The Deering Estate is a residential property that the city bought from the land owners it's a beautiful location for private events or you can even catch an annual events here.

May QS

More than the houses themselves, the estate grounds were breathtaking. The edge of the estate near the old deering estate entrance has a long walkway where all you see is water meeting the sky. The visit was enjoyable, however the visit to the house was informative but I preferred the outdoors more.

Milena Montane

It’s so far one of the most beautiful places I have seen in Miami!!!

Brian Bailey

Love the nature and old antique house!

Evan Apanovitch

Deering is a lovely property right on the bay. You can picnic by the water or explore their numerous walking trails. The winter home of Charles Deering is nicely preserved. Take advantage of a suite of educational programs, or just relax!

David Storey

Beautiful house and grounds. Interesting local history. Plus we got to see a family of manatees up close!

Yobe Art

Half day visit - great ocean views, lots of mango trees (for when they’re in season about July-Aug) - Great for photos. Fairchild tropical garden is nearby - you can do two in one day.

Stephen Simonton

I had a great time here with my friends, it's a beautiful estate, well managed and a great place to hang out and learn a bit of local history. The only complaint I have is that the mosquitos were aweful around the west side of the house, but by the water it was perfect!

Yolanda Hernandez Santa Cruz

I don't think it's worth the tickets price. You can't even take pictures there. This place should be open to the public for free, and if someone wants to enter to one of the houses then they should charge for that.

ElectricEel

This place is so cool. I love it. It takes you back to what Miami looked like before people settled here

Rebeca Farfan

Awesome place to visit...

Neil Puckett

Amazing property. Fabulous natural community, awesome local history, and great staff.

Billy Kellar

Great museum

Lina Turnes

Come and time travel back in time. Beautiful property on the ocean and historical house. Spend a leasurely afternoon in this southern gem.

Erika Perez

I was so excited to finally see The Deering Estate, I had heard so many good things! I got even more excited when I found out I was able to save $2 off an adult admission ticket using my Miami-Dade County EASY card. Always looking for a good deal and the place was absolutely beautiful!

Odalis Polanco

Beautiful place!!

Tigre Blanco

This is one of the most highly rated parks to visit in Miami-Dade County. It is highly recommended you take a historic tour and a walk around if you are coming to visit the South Florida area. There is a lot to learn about the history of the property, the architecture, and the family that made it all possible. It is a common location for festivals, concerts, weddings, family picnics, and a variety of other activities such as nature walks, manatee viewing, and kayaking. The 444 acres of the property is astonishing to walk around on a bright warm sunny day. Great way to spend an afternoon with friends, family, or your someone special. It is a suggested hideaway for first time Miami visitors. I go back from time to time to show others around or take in the beautiful scenery and fresh air. Amazing property. There is nothing like it.

Blair Aquilia

Came here with my dad for the Deering Estate seafood festival. Was astonished at how large this property was. There are several buildings on the property, looking like they had been built in different era's in Florida. The view is amazing and the property is immaculate. As I stood on the large patio looking out at the ocean (and large group of people for the festival) I thought to myself "how amazing would this have been standing where I was in the early days of Florida, when this property was built.

Star Melgar

One of my favorite places in Miami. Beautiful views. Community events. History. Weddings. STEM fieldtrips for schools. Nature walks. Amazing scenery and wildlife. Keeping history alive and preserving natural habitats in Miami. So peaceful.

Jani Waldrip

This place is amazing

Diego Beninca

Nice plase very interesting

jason aldama

Beautiful place nice nature walk.

niftyleo

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle the is Miami , and want to be transported to old time Florida, this is the place. Very well kept. Friendly and knowledgable staff and that sea breeze. Great way to spend an afternoon with the family or better yet with your significant other.

Margaret Zastawecky

Beautiful grounds very peaceful

Mary Buzzard

We got in for free because today they had some type of deal, so that was great! It was a very beautiful place to spend an afternoon. My husband and I enjoyed sitting by the water and walking around the buildings. This was great because today was free, but for the normal $15 a person, I probably would have hoped for more. Would definitely come for a tor if you’re going to visit.

Wilfido Ortiz

Risen mass here is a must every year

Jacqueline Mueller

Lovely landscaping . House exterior are gorgeous. Wild manatees and water views amazing. Very relaxing.

Dennis Haughton

One of the best historical places in Miami. Very beautiful there & a lot of history.

Byron Raúl Avilés Rodríguez

Good place

Akv Galaxy

Went to sunrise mass for Easter. Beautiful, but had to leave when they put on Charlie Daniels, not my kind of music.

Zami Jiménez

Beautiful! Went for the seafood festival and I had an amazing time. Will definitely return for another occasion!

Carlos Hernandez Allegue

Amazing place! I went to this beautiful place where Elias help us last Tuesday. We will definitely recommend to our friends to visit this relaxing park! Thank you Elias for your professionalism!

shachar3861

Fun place to explore. Take the nature walk with a guide.

Jared Guerra

Amazing experience, especially with that weird hairy reptile guy

Foodtravelventure

It's a lovely place, very peaceful, tranquil, and relaxing. You can bring your family and and have a picnic, there are picnic tables and they also have a free tours of the facilities which is included with cost of admission. I am not giving it 5 stars because it could have more exhibitions, some rooms are extremely empty and lack details, Vizcaya (originally owned by Deering) has way more exhibits and very detailed orientated with all areas preserved as close to the original as possible.

Julie Santiago

Beautiful and now free!

Sophie Stalder

It is a visit worth for two or three hours. The employees are all very kind. The guiding tour was very good, the guy who is guiding the tour is very nice, he knows much about this place and could answer all the questions we had. I was there with my family und would totally visit again ! The price is really worth it.

kiril petrov

Great place to spend couple hours

MIKA I

This is nice place to stop by and walk around on a cool day not a hot day but then Florida will be a cool day lol

sharnika williams

The seafood festival, was amazing! Very well organized&gorgeous atmosphere. Workers was constantly coming around keeping everything clean. I will definitely make this a yearly outing.

DA PA

This is a beautiful location and it has a wonderful view. They have amazing events at the estate and it is very well run and established. We had a great time at the Seafood festival and the food, music and event was excellent!

Patricia Garland

Love to picnic on the grounds of this beautiful historic property right on the water. Tours of the homes are interesting. Always look forward to their Seafood Festival and concerts!

Cynthia Christensen-Maragh

Took the tour and was very impressed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, detailed and had us tasting plants and wild berries. The photos are one of a native burial site and moonlight flower. The cottage and dwelling on the property were also interesting. Totally enjoyed my afternoon.

Iris Garcia

Great relaxing place!

carl barta

An absolute must see. Probably the most important nature preserve within the metro area. Well maintained and diverse natural area,hydration project, interesting historic buildings, manatees and crocodiles.

yasniel chirino

Amazing place, I love it...

Katrina Bartley

Awesome camp if your child love nature

Jeffrey Harris

When I was young I knew there was public access to Biscayne Bay just to the South end of the Deering Estate. While looking around the lands water edge via Google's satellite page I saw that there is indeed a Peoples Pier here. A good spot of fresh sea air away from a crowd. Just one shadrd picnic table. Nice but wouldn't tempt going during mosquito season. Enjoy!

Sherry Ousley

Absolutely Fabulous! Relaxing gardens over looking our beautiful sparkling Biscayne Bay with friendly and knowledge staff! Year round activities and special events makes the affordable membership here one of the best values worth every penny!

Sherry Feijoo

So much history in this place! Wonderful venue to get married or have an event. Love the staff here!

kris miles

Attended Sustainability presentation. Wonderful experts answered questions at end of presentation. I encourage people to join Citizens Climate Lobby.

O. T.

A South Florida Landmark. A must visit for history lovers

Lina Lorenzo

It's a beautiful place. The grounds are very well kept with lush green grass, native plants and trees. The house is a museum and it can be rented for private events. I imagine a wedding here would have amazing pictures with the view to the bay. There is plenty of open space for nature loving people. There is a walkway that takes you deep into the mangrove, plus several small trails within the Estate grounds which give plenty of opportunities for bird watching. Kayak rentals are available and bikes can be rented as well, but they can't be ridden inside the Estate, only outside its surrounding area. When we arrived in the morning on a Saturday they had a Yoga class underway by the dock. The sea breeze lends this place a magical air and you feel transported to another era and very much in touch with nature.

Jackie Morales

Excellent for walks, talking trails, events and all other activities. I am particularly fond of jazz and ghost tour events

Angel Breton

Outstanding place so Beautiful. So natural.trails, park, Historical landmark Come enjoy this wounderful park with everyone in your family. GOD Bless you

Katy Estarita

Great well kept Estate the views are endless the nature walks are incredible

Katherine waddell

Beautiful place. We went for the holiday lights, festival of trees. They advertised free Christmas cookies and hot chocolate? When we arrived, they were out of cookies and the hot chocolate machine was broken! C'mon people, you have to plan for these things. You know. It's all about d money, money. A bit disappointed. But the carolers were great. The lights were nice.

Irene Royston

Beautiful setting.

Bianca Zapata

loved exploring the grounds, and everone that worked there were pretty friendly. great place to take a picnic with the kids and enjoy the scenery.

Melissa Dynan

Visited on a quiet Sunday. Just a few others, so felt like we had the estate to ourselves! Was beautiful, sunny, breezy day looking out at the water, watching fish jump, birds glide. We'll be back to kayak soon!

Leon Pinder

Deering Estate... If you're looking to have a wonderful time and looking to see a beautiful scenery then this place is a spot. I enjoyed the walk path down to the water to see the ocean and I also enjoy the trees as I walk across the China Bridge. I've been going here for a while even just for exercising and let me tell you I live five miles away so that can tell you a lot. I would rather drive 5 miles for a beautiful scenery for exercising then walk half a mile to a local park that doesn't have a great scenery.

Karen Averitt

The Stiltsville Tour was superb. Saw lots of dolphin. Captain and crew were knowledgable and fun.

Anita Shade

Wonderful food, music and weather. Very organized event! First time attending, will definitely go again next year.

Keto Royalty

We enjoy ourselves here Every single time we visit. It is soo peaceful to walk the grounds and take in all the beauty. What a location! Take the family and tour the estate. There is soo much history here! A true Miami treasure! If you are looking for an amazing adventure check out deering estates.

Daniel Itzcovich

Historic house, guided tour to the house and trail.

Gautam Shankar

worst. nothing to see but lame corny 1700 cottage pu pu

Priscilla Molerio

This is for Deering Point. Fresh air, clean area, clear water. Lots of sheltered areas with picnic tables, lots of trash cans to keep area clean, free parking. Entrance was easy to find.

David Padilla

Relaxing place to visit. Wonderful mansion by the sea

ダリツマアルボノス

Beautiful place to walk with family and friends. It had so much historical value and beautiful structures. There are different activities to participate for kids and adults. You can go to the wine cellar, run around the park, take a tour around the historical houses, take a workshop, fish, go canoeing, and many more. The day I went was on New Year's Eve and the place had Christmas decorations everywhere. They were also holding a free art gallery for others to see. It was a great way to start a fresh new year with the beautiful landscape surrounding me and my loved ones.

Jackie Morrison

Very interesting and $1 entry in July pulled us in. We will definitely go back again.

Budhram Ramlakhan

Really nice Park to have a picnic or just for a walk. The ocean view is amazing.

Jim W

Great views from the house of the bay. Great volunteers. Awesome to learn about mr deering and all that he has and done

James Hunt

Wonderful part of Miami history

Betty Nachon

Amazing Day in the Florida Sun

Rey Iglesias

First Class

LaQuandra Miller

Love the seafood festival

Steve

Beautiful historic estate. Wonderful tour and grounds.

Ellen Summers

Love my country estate !!!

Julius Buzzard

Beautiful space to hang out for a few hours. If you’re not into the history, I might skip this one, but it really is so beautiful that it would make up for it. I’d suggest going on one of the tours, if you have time.

Frederick Learey

Very relaxing, low key experience overall. Not a whole lot to see and do with closed off areas from hurricane damage. Kind of a haul from Miami beach, if you are there for vacation. Probably wouldn't recommend or would put low on the list.

andrep13

If youre into historic and nice scenary i would recommend coming here.

Gus Moore

Been an awesome time at the Deering Estate family fun day. Lots of arts and crafts for kids and a water conservation seminar for families.

luisa lawrence

Great place to visit!!

Insight Kitty

PERFECT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY! So glad we discovered this place. Surprisingly, not too many people know about this gem. I went to take some photos and they just came out amazing. The tropical feel of this park is spectacular. The house has a beautiful terrace with old fashioned seats and furniture. Theres a nice fireplace room with checkered floor. The ocean view is right outside and theres a huge grass field as well. Many cute places to take photos at so if you want a good photo session with pops of colors and nature,and history, this is the place to go! Tours of the area are also available. They charge a general entrance fee per person but it is worth it!

Logan

Beautiful property.

Robert DeTorres

Knowledgeable Docent. Very interesting historic gem right in our backyard (so to speak). Property is undergoing some needed repairs, but that does not impede the beauty of the property.
