Hey everyone, I’m beginning to upload videos all over the internet about the Go Card. You can find them on Youtube, Flickr, and other popular sites. We’re not going to make you scour the web, though. I’ll post them right here! Check out this video about the Miami Seaquarium.
While you can swim with the dolphins at the Seaquarium, Dolphin Harbor isn’t included with the Go Miami Card. You can certainly watch the dolphins though! Like the video says, dolphins prefer Go Card customers either way, even those who just watch. If you like the video, leave a comment, or check out the other Go Card videos at our YouTube page.

Recently my friends and I checked out Miami Duck Tours on a weekend trip to Miami. I was surprised to discover how many famous movies were shot in the South Beach area. From the club scene in the remake of Miami Vice, to the apartment scenes in Ace Ventura Pet Detective to the infamous chainsaw scene in Scarface, you’ll think you are in Hollywood!
Our tour guide, “Rodney Dangerduck,” kept things lively with his trivia facts, jokes, and the occasional quack. He also pointed out many architectural nuances of South Beach that I will always associate with Miami. For instance, did you know that the Art Deco colors of the buildings are meant to mimic the colors of coral? Or that most of the buildings were designed to look like cruise ships, with smoke stacks and round portal windows?
The Duck Tour was a great way to tour the city and get a better idea of what we should check out while in Miami. Although the tour mainly focuses on Miami Beach and South Beach (which I learned are technically the same thing), you’ll also go over the MacArthur Causeway that connects greater Miami to Miami beach. You will also zoom past other great attractions, including Jungle Island, Miami Children’s Museum, and the Wolfsonian Museum. Don’t forget your camera!

The exhibit celebrates the Jewish writers and artists that dominated the early days of comic books. Will Eisner, the most influential person in American comics and creator of The Spirit, once said, “We are People of the Book; we are storytellers essentially and anyone who’s exposed to Jewish culture, I think, walks away for the rest of his life with an instinct for telling stories.”
There will be vintage artwork and books on display, along with multi-media presentations and interactive displays that bring superheroes to life for visitors. It’s a great way to trace the origins of your favorite comic book heroes from their Biblical inspirations to their impact on American popular culture.
