This two time award-winning Aquatics Complex is located in Palm Beach Gardens adjacent to the Burns Road Recreation Center.  The center was recently renovated and has amenities for all ages.  If you are looking for some low-impact exercise you can use the 25 yard lap pool for teams, individual lap swimmers and water aerobics.

Okeeheelee Nature Center features 2.5 miles of trails winding through 90 acres of pine flatwoods and wetlands. Highlights of the center include hands-on exhibits, animal encounters and a nature related gift shop. Marvel at birds of prey, touch a live snake or prowl for owls during one of the many programs scheduled throughout the year for families, youth and adults. Exhibits: ECOSYSTEMS of PALM BEACH COUNTY Leaves seem to crunch underfoot as you walk by Clyde Butcher's life-size image of a hardwood hammock.

Daggerwing Nature Center in western Boca Raton is a beautiful nature center with trails and observation tower behind. Become acquainted with the fauna and wildlife of South Florida while taking a walk along the boardwalk. Bring sun protection as the majority of the trail is not shaded at all. The observation tower is a fun climb but, like all wooden towers, can sway a bit in a breeze so if you're at all afraid of heights, skip it.

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens are located right on the border of Delray Beach and Boca Raton. It is on Jog Road just south of Linton on the west side of the road.  This cultural and historical attractions has so much to offer from an adorable gift shop to wonderful cultural/art exhibits to marvelous gardens and an award-winning cafe, you can easily spend an enjoyable day here with the enitre family.  The small museum inside the gardens, Yamato-Can has an excellent interactive, child-friendly "Japan Through The Eyes of a Child" exhibit.

The Gold Coast Railroad Museum in southern Miami has several wood trainset layouts for visiting children to play with hands on! The layouts feature "Thomas" and other equipment, both free-wheeled and motorized. There is room for several children to play at once, and even seating areas for supervising adults. So bring the children for a fun and educational experience you can share with your family. The museum has freight cars, passenger cars, and locomotives to view on site.

One of the most amazing things about the Girls U-pick is when you drive up to the location, it looks like just a modest store front in an old strip shopping center in western Delray Beach. You walk in thru the doors and see tons of yummy goods for sale from prepackaged jams, honey, candies, etc. to the bakery case and ice cream counters. Hung all about you are bits from the past that bring a warm nostalgic feel to the place. When you make your way out thru the store, pick up a basket and a pair of scissors to start picking.
