Place your bets on a jai-alai match

If nothing you've read so far caught your eye, how about checking out the fastest game in the world? Jai alai never really gained a huge fanbase, but it still has something of a cult following in Miami. Aside from watching competitors attempt to return balls ("pilotas") traveling at speeds of up to 180 mph, there's a gambling aspect--spectators can place wagers on players or teams. Check out a game and try to keep up at Casino Miami, where matches are played at noon on weekdays (except Tuesday).

Whether you planned an extra day or two before or after the Expo or are just looking to squeeze in as much fun as you can between sessions, we've put together a roundup of 10 can't-miss things to do in Miami.

Ocean Drive

You haven't really been to Miami until you've experienced the iconic Ocean Drive. You'll likely recognize the distinctive Art Deco architecture of its historic hotels and restaurants from the big screen or even your TV screen. Sign up for the official walking tour at the Art Deco Welcome Center, or just meander along at your own pace--you'll find plenty of options to slake your thirst and hunger along the way. When you're tired of walking, cut over a couple of blocks and cool your heels on the beaches of Lummus Park.

Little Havana

There is nowhere in the United States quite like Little Havana. Take a stroll down Calle Ocho (SW Eighth Street) and soak in decades of Cuban cultural influence. Come hungry--you won't be able to resist the smells of bakeries and restaurants serving authentic Cuban cuisine, or the mountains of fresh fruit at the open-air market. Check out Little Havana's Cuban version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or duck out of the sun at the Bay of Pigs Museum or one of many art galleries. You can also grab a cigar at Cuban Tobacco Cigar Co. Your experience isn't complete without a stop at Versailles, even if it's just for a cup of coffee on the patio.

Take in a Marlins or Heat game

Fun fact: Marlin's Park includes two bulletproof aquariums behind home plate. You can check them out if you grab tickets for a ball game against the Mets on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon (4/1 through 4/3) at 7:10.

Baseball not your thing? Head on over to American Airlines Arena for a Heats-Celtics matchup on April 3, tipoff at 7:30.

Freedom Tower and MDC Museum of Art + Design

In a city known for its architecture, Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College is probably the most iconic building in Downtown Miami. Built in 1925, the tower served as a processing facility for refugees fleeing Cuba during the 60s and 70s. Today, it houses the MDC Museum of Art + Design, which offers up "unique cultural, historical and educational exhibitions." Through April 21, you can check out the Danish collective exhibit SUPERFLEX: We Are All in the Same Boat,, which tackles "the economy, financial crisis, corruption, migration, and the possible consequences of global warming" in a "humorous and playfully subversive" fashion.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

A walk through Vizcaya may very well leave you wondering both where and when you are. Construction on this massive Renaissance-styled villa began in 1910 and wasn't completed until 1922. No expense was spared--the main house spans 38,000 square feet and includes 54 rooms filled with European antiquities and art, all preserved just as it was nearly a century ago. The estate also includes an elaborate maze of gardens accented with pools and fountains.

Get out on the water

Can't resist the allure of the open waves and a spray of sea salt? Downtown Miami has no shortage of boat rentals at a number of price points. The selection at Miamiwatersports.com includes standards such as kayaks and paddleboards, and jetpacks and flyboards for the more adventurous. Rent a speedboat for the afternoon, book a sunset cruise, or even charter a yacht if you really want to go big.

HistoryMiami Museum

Want to learn as much about Miami as possible in a short amount of time? Then HistoryMiami is your destination! Check out a century-old trolley car or gold and silver salvaged from 17th century shipwrecks as part of a collection of more than one million images and tens of thousands of artifacts spanning as far back as the age of Spanish exploration. "The exhibits on the wreckers of Key West and Henry Flagler both merit an extended look, as does the section on photographer Ralph Middleton Munroe," suggests Timeout.com.

Check out the Wynwood district

Is art your thing? Then make some time to stroll through Miami's Wynwood district. This once-decaying business district is now an eclectic hotspot known for its street art. Colorful murals adorn the sides of old warehouses that have been renovated into craft breweries, clothing boutiques, dining establishments, and, if you need more to feast your eyes on, even art galleries.

Oleta River State Park

Not into fast-paced city life? Just 30 minutes from downtown, you can escape into a hideaway of mangroves along the Oleta River, which links the Everglades to the Biscayne Bay. Florida's largest urban park is a popular spot for biking, paddling, fishing and swimming in the saltwater lagoon off the bay On your way back, stop in for a peek at St. Bernard De Clairvaux, a 12th-century Spanish monastery. Yes, 12th-century. Originally constructed in Spain in 1174, the monastery was purchased by an American in 1925, dismantled stone by stone and shipped to the United States, where the entire monastery was reconstructed. Time magazine referred to it as "the biggest jigsaw puzzle in history."
