Miami is known as the “Magic City” and a place where kids can go wild with their imaginations. From swimming with dolphins at the Miami Seaquarium, embarking on an international safari at Miami’s Metrozoo, to the wild expeditions that can be experienced at Jungle Island, children can learn and explore while having fun in the sun. And once they return to Mandarin Oriental, kids are treated as royalty and can join Mini MO Kid's Club.

Below you can see the many facilities within the hotel that will help keep children of all ages occupied and comfortable and we have also compiled a comprehensive guide to family entertainment in the city. Any further requests? Our concierge will be delighted to help you.

Teenagers may enjoy these indulgent treatments with a twist, as special sparkle polishes and gemstone embellishments will be offered for their treatments. In addition, they may book a very fun and trendy belly dancing class at the Spa, either on their own, with a friend or with their parents. Before leaving, teenagers can find hip mementos at the Spa Boutique, including gemstone necklaces or wishlets, which are special bracelets with unique wish charms that contain that person’s wish.
