While the phrase \u201cSpring Break Miami\u201d might conjure up images of beachside bottle service, 24-hour parties on Ocean Drive, and Pitbull lyrics come to life, this year will be historically different. The City Commission passed a resolution that will enforce a strict curfew, early beach closures, DUI checkpoints, and a slew of other preventative safety measures to protect the public from the drunken debauchery that has become characteristic of South Beach and its environs in recent years. Still, for anyone traveling to The 305 this March and April, there are countless ways to enjoy some fun in the sun that don\u2019t result in a hangover and a drained bank account. Here are our top 10 things to do in Miami this Spring Break:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Parks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the temperatures soar above 80 degrees, a little splish splash action is the only real solution. Miami\u2019s beaches are world-class, but so are its water parks. Spanning 30 acres, Rapids Water Park<\/a> is South Florida\u2019s largest aqua center. Miami Watersports Complex<\/a> features one of the largest wakeboard parks in the country. The Boomerango at Tidal Cove<\/a> is a legendary destination for aquatic thrill seekers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salsa Dancing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salsa dancing is a great way to be active, social, and learn about Miami\u2019s rich Latin American culture. Historic Ball and Chain<\/a> has been around since 1935 and offers free lessons on Thursday nights. Located inside an exquisite Art Deco hotel lobby, Havana 1957<\/a> is an immersive throwback to Salsa\u2019s golden age. Cubaocho<\/a> features antique furniture, a world-class rum bar, and some of the most dynamic live music found in the sunshine state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike Tour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know Vice City has over 200 miles of bike lanes? There\u2019s no better way of taking in its diverse neighborhoods, Art Deco masterpieces, and world-famous beaches than on two wheels. A rental offers maximum flexibility while a guided tour is the ultimate combination of exercise and education amid a dynamic, social setting. Unlimited Biking<\/a>\u2019s Miami Beach Highlights Tour is the perfect way to start an epic spring break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everglades National Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel like exploring the largest wilderness east of the Mississippi? At 7,800 square miles, it would be an exhausting feat to cover the entirety of Everglades National Park. However, getting up close and personal with alligators, panthers, and manatees can be an easy day trip, as the Everglades entrance is less than an hour from the city center. Gator Park<\/a> is a reliable mainstay for airboat tours. Everglades Adventures<\/a> is the premier outfitter for canoe and kayak excursions. Shark Valley<\/a> offers wonderfully educational tram tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ultra Music Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thumping bass, transcendent light shows, glittery raver costumes, beautiful views of the Miami skyline. This is Ultra Music Festival<\/a>. As one of the largest and most acclaimed electronic dance music festivals on the planet, Ultra is being held at Bayfront Park from March 22nd – 24th, featuring headliners such as Calvin Harris, Tiesto, and Steve Aoki. It\u2019s not hard to see why DJ Magazine consistently calls it the world\u2019s best music festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Basement <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basement<\/a> isn\u2019t any old bowling alley. Located underneath the Edison Hotel in the heart of South Beach, Basement is the perfect venue for spring breakers looking for something a little left of center. With a 2,000 square foot ice skating rink, top tier DJs, refreshments galore, and mind-expanding light shows, Basement takes good ol\u2019 10-pin to the next level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Little Havana Food Tour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 70% of the country\u2019s Cuban population lives in South Florida. Therefore, it\u2019s a no-brainer anyone visiting Miami should fill up on Cuban classics like Ropa Vieja, Arroz con Pollo, and Tostones while they\u2019re in town. While a self-guided walk down the ever-vibrant Calle Ocho is enough to feel like you\u2019ve been transported into the Caribbean, a group tour by the likes of Miami Culinary Tours<\/a> or Secret Food Tours<\/a> is the best way to get a side of education and socialization with your Cuban sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Museums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a break from the beach? Load up on air conditioning and cultural enrichment at one of Miami\u2019s premier displays of art, science, and history. The Bass<\/a> is the city\u2019s top destination for international contemporary art. The Coral Castle Museum<\/a> is a 1,100 ton castle that\u2019s been described as Stonehenge with a Miami coral rock twist. South Beach\u2019s Museum of Illusions<\/a> is a surreal interactive adventure that lets its visitors walk on the edge of a skyscraper or fly a magic carpet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Botanical Gardens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic City\u2019s tropical climate makes it one the most unique biological destinations in the country. If rare plants, African Rainbow Lizards, and thousands of exotic butterflies are your jam, Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden<\/a> is a must-see. Miami Beach Botanical Garden<\/a> features 100 types of palm trees and offers community events like yoga, tai chi, and meditation sound baths. For a slice of Europe in Miami, visit the playful Maze Garden at Vizcaya<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooftop Pools<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re seeking skyline views, a DJ set, or some aqua time sans sand, Miami\u2019s rooftop pool scene is among the world\u2019s best. Snag a private cabana or dance the night away at Kimpton EPIC<\/a>\u2019s scenic rooftop sanctuary. Mediterranean fare, expansive ocean views, and Art Deco charm are all a part of the Gabriel South Beach<\/a> pool experience. Novotel Miami Brickell<\/a>\u2019s rooftop pool features unparalleled skyline views and even hosts outdoor movie nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami may have \u201cbroken up\u201d with spring break this year, but it\u2019s still one of the most exciting places on the planet to wind down this March and April, especially when you\u2019re swapping the Metrorail for a freshly-tuned hybrid.
