Miami is well known for its beautiful beaches, amazing nightlife and activities that could easily fill anyone’s weekend. But along with the popular attractions are the unique and unusual activities every tourist should consider visiting. These attractions are not necessarily on top of any tourists’ list of must visits but they often feature something different and entertaining.
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Episcopal Church
At first glance, it’s just a regular Episcopalian Church in Miami. But a closer look at the structure reveals that it’s more than just your regular structure. Although its current location is in North Miami Beach, it was originally built in Spain during the 12th century. The structure was only transferred to Miami in 1920 which was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst. The structure was originally a monastery which was taken apart and reassembled in Miami.
Monkey Jungle
There are many zoos to enjoy in Miami but none of them could rival Monkey Jungle. It’s practically a zoo in reverse since humans are placed in cages while the monkeys run wild. The jungle covers more than 30 acres and different types of monkeys run free. There are at least 400 monkeys in the jungle with 30 species.
World Chess Hall of Fame
Chess is not a very popular sports activity in USA but there’s still a museum dedicated to the sport. Naturally, the museum features the country’s best ranked chess player – Bobby Fischer. Tourists can learn more about the famous chess player as well as take a closer look at some of the artifacts and exhibits related to the game.
