Visit Deering Estate and take a stroll with Elias, you wont regret it! Elias was the perfect companion to explore this gorgeous and magnificent land with. I welcomed his sincerity, passion about the estates history and curiosity about the vegetation we encountered. Im so grateful for the level of attention to detail and gentle humanity I experienced today after months in quarantine. It really was a solid experience and one I wont forget.

The Deering estate in South Miami. Amazing place built by a man who was in hurry. Walls are 18 thick.. ceiling beams mantels all made cement.. I went there at Christmas it was majestic. The breeze from the bay was great. Make sure you take the tour go down to the wine cellar and see the huge safe door..

Beautiful place but entrance and trail full of hungry mosquitoes. If youre planning on going make sure to take your bottle of repellent with you. Other than that, this place is beautiful and has a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere.

This natural area is a treasure to Miami-Dade county and the estate is magnificent!Check online and go on the butterfly and bird walks in the back country. The native American burial ground is a magical place to explore!Take the tour of the house. I love the newly discovered secret wine cellar!

Incredibly enjoyable and 100% free. Weve been on a concrete slide in Davis and this one was much more exciting. There are some leftover cardboard boxes hidden behind the metal box thing at the top, and we too left ours for the next visitors.

We were just driving around and came across a sign saying Deering Estate....So I was curious and decided to head there...So when we got there it was something Historical which is something that I do like to see and get to know about.So we walked in and enjoyed the beautiful view and the houses, and I hope after all of this Virus thing we can come back and take a tour inside of the houses that are here we really...really...enjoyed coming across in this location and were looking foward in coming back!!!...

Amazing early morning at Deering Estate for a sunrise photo shoot. Great small group and a fantastic guide, Jessica. For $20.00, it is definitely worth the drive from the South Florida area.

Deering is a hidden gem in our community. It takes you by surprise with its beauty. Loved touring it with my children and finding fun nature paths. You can explore something new each time you go.

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.

Deering Estate was an absolute dream for a winter wedding in South Florida. We chose Deering because of the setting on Biscayne Bay, the flexibility to use the vendors we chose, the ease of inviting additional friends and family to the wedding, and being able to support a local museum. The events team is very organized, rules for the venue are clearly laid out and it was easy for our vendors to work with the location. On the day of the wedding, we had manatees in the bay and flocks of egrets flying overhead to roost during our vows. Spectacular and stunning location.

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 Years 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.

A very nice historic property just south of Miami. If you’re enthusiastic about history, check it out when it reopens along with the Vizcaya Museum.

The houses are ok, but the Boat Basin is very pretty and manatees are resting there.

Neat place to visit if you live a bit further south. Wide lawns and scenic views are very pretty. Houses are very old so I got an allergy attack from the dust. We went just to explore so I cant speak to their tours or events. We got in for a discount. Dont know that Id pay $14/person to visit again.

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!

Review №38

Its 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 cant 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.

Sure it would have been great if not for the inside of the house being closed due to hurricane damages. We did manage to get a little bit of a peek though. The estate includes quite a bit of land to roam. Dont forget to wear sunscreen.

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.

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!

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.

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.

One of the vest tours we have ever taken and really opens your eyes on how Florida came about , the hidden wine/spirits room alone made it worth your time , highly recommend

The only thing open is ground during COVID. Really disappointed because their website had tickets on sale which we bought but when we got there we were told tickets were only $5 bucks and no they’re not refundable for the online ones. Not much to do or see since you could only walk the grounds and not go into any of the house museums.

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.

Seriously, $15 a person for this place? At least it was decorated for Christmas. No discount for seniors except on Tuesdays $2 off. I am totally fine paying full price for an experience but this place is not worth the entry fee.

Its 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.

Went during the week. Compared to Vizcaya, the two main buildings are quite spartan. However, the grounds are quieter and more accommodating of wildlife. I saw more animals than people there. loads of manatees, a stingray, iguanas, and a bunch of birds. Excellent.

Deering Estate...If youre 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.Ive 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 doesnt have a great scenery.
