Flamingo Gardens

Plunge into the rare and authentic beauty of a 60-acre tropical paradise consisting of botanical gardens, wildlife sanctuary, and the Wray Home Museum. You can walk around the magical and exotic trees, flowers, and plants situated across the large area. The wildlife sanctuary includes bears, panthers, flamingos, peacocks, alligators, and many other native species. Your family can discover different ecosystems and engage in an almost time-machine experience in a Wray Home Museum tour. Children and adults of all ages, backgrounds, and physical abilities can explore the enticing natural world of the Flamingo Gardens.

Museum of Discovery and Science

Truth be told, kids aren’t usually fans of museums, but this one might change their mind. Museum of Discovery and Science is one of the most entertaining and family-oriented venues in Florida. It isn’t the case when you walk around the museum and observe but not touch the exhibits. Guests can participate in various activities, labs, and workshops. You can immerse in live animal habitats, experience hurricane winds, dig out fossils, watch science shows and demonstrations, touch a snake, bat, and shark, and enjoy watching an educational film on the biggest screen in South Florida. With countless options of hands-on learning and first-person experiences, your family will have lots of fun while your kids will learn something new.
