Miami Attraction and Museum Months: how the spring deals work

Last reviewed: November 10, 2026. Sources for this page are listed in its fact sheet.

Short answer first. Miami Attraction and Museum Months is one of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau's Miami Temptations programs, and in its established pattern it runs April 1 to May 31 each spring. Dozens of attractions and museums take part, each setting its own deal: some run buy one get one free admission, others take a percentage off. There is no single pass and no blanket two for one. The 2027 dates, participant list and deals are not published yet; the bureau announces them in the run up to April. This page explains the mechanics, uses past editions as labeled examples, and shows how the program stacks with a spring trip. It will get a full facts pass within days of the 2027 announcement.

How the program works

The bureau recruits the venues and publishes one page listing each participant and its deal. You claim the deal at the venue, under that venue's terms: some deals need a coupon or a mention from the program page, some run automatically at the box office, and some exclude weekends or special exhibitions. The details are per venue and they matter, so the routine is simple: check the program page for your venue before you go, screenshot the terms, and ask at the desk if the receipt doesn't show the deal. Deals in past editions included buy one get one admission at Perez Art Museum Miami, 20 percent off at Paradox Museum, 15 percent off at The Bass, and buy one get one at the Museum of Illusions. Those are past edition examples, named so you can see the shape of the program. They are not promises for 2027.

What kind of spring trip it rewards

April and May are Miami's shoulder sweet spot: winter crowds gone, summer humidity not yet settled, and hotel rates off their February peak. The program rewards a museum heavy itinerary, the kind of trip where you'd pay full price at three or four venues in a week. Families feel it most, because buy one get one math doubles at four tickets. Stack the program with the free side of the city too: the Art Deco District charges nothing, the Wynwood walls charge nothing, and a beach day still costs what a beach day costs. The paid venues become the discount layer of a trip that was already sensibly priced.

Program or city pass: pick one logic

Visitors ask whether a city pass beats the program. They solve different trips. A pass bundles a fixed list of attractions at one price and rewards doing many of them fast; our Go City Miami pass verdict runs that math in full. The program discounts individual venues across two months and rewards a slower trip with a few chosen stops. If your list is three venues, the program almost always wins. If your list is eight venues in four days, run the pass math. Either way, don't pay full price at a participating venue in April or May by accident. That is the only real mistake available here.

When the 2027 list lands

The bureau announces the new edition in the weeks before April 1. When it does, this page updates with the confirmed dates, the participant count, and the headline deals, and the seasonal pages that point here update with it. Until then, treat any site listing specific 2027 deals as guessing, including any that name venues as confirmed. Past participants are likely, not confirmed. There's a difference, and your wallet can tell.
