Look for the night garden fairy app before you go, it was well laid out with plenty of guides to help you along, the talking tree was especially funny. Have you ever been to Avatar Land in animal kingdom, it is similar to that style of glowing gardens...

This was our first trip to the Venetian Pool and it did not disappoint! The pool is refilled with fresh spring water daily so it’s very clean and refreshing, the water stays cool even in 90+ degree weather. The facilities were great and the pool has some man-made caves and waterfalls that are super fun for kids. It was great, definitely recommend!

I grew up in Miami, and know this building well. It's one of the architectural highlights of Coral Gables, the Miami suburb which is famous for its elegant homes, the fantastic Biltmore Hotel, and this City Hall. The City of Coral Gables was one man's dream, and he developed it in the roaring twenties, which were really roaring in Miami. Everything in Coral Gables today is Spanish in style, including the names of all the streets, etc., which feature fountains and plazas at all major intersections. (The City Hall is directly on LeJeune Road and Coral Way, so it's easy to find.) Most all the vintage houses in Coral Gables are also in the elegant Mediterranean style, with beautiful ornaments, fountains,and courtyards. It's all because that style was all the rage in the 1920's--at the same time the early movie stars in Hollywood were building similar-styled mansions. One of the most fascinating things about the City Hall is that the oolitic limestone (which we always called "Coral Rock") was quarried from a place in the city nearby. And then the quarry was turned into another Coral Gables landmark, magnificent Venetian Pool, a huge municipal swimming pool built in Venetian style architecture, with an island, restaurant, and tall palm trees. Don't know if you can tour the City Hall these days, but don't miss Venetian Pool!
