Welcome to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
  

Vizcaya is a National Historic Landmark; we're also a museum owned by Miami-Dade County and accredited by the American Association of Museums. Vizcaya is open to the public 364 days each year, and we invite you to visit this serene and stunningly beautiful retreat in the heart of Miami.

Built by agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens features a main house, ten acres of formal gardens, and a rockland hammock (native forest).

Note: We are currently undertaking restoration and enhancement of Vizcaya. This work involves changes in exterior circulation, but should not impact your visit to the Main House and gardens.

The construction will temporarily require a new accessible route for wheelchair users once at the ticket booth. The accessible entrance to the main house, the gardens, and the restrooms is approximately 375 yards from the ticket booth area. We anticipate this phase of restoration to be completed in the fall of 2010 and apologize for the inconvenience.

Estamos realizando mejoras y trabajos de restauración en Vizcaya. Estas obras requiren cambios en las rutas de circulación exterior, pero no afectarán su visita a la Casa Principal y los jardines.

Durante la construcción se a establecido una nueva ruta provisional de acceso para los visitantes en silla de ruedas. La puerta de acceso a la Casa Principal, los jardines y los baños se encuentra a aproximadamente 345 metros de la taquilla. Esperamos concluir esta fase de restauración en el otoño del 2010. Por favor disculpe la inconveniencia.
