Get wild this summer in West Palm Beach, Florida. Drive through the Lion Country Safari, plunge into the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, or wade around in the Grassy Waters Preserve.
Travel to faraway lands at the Lion Country Safari, complete with over 900 animals and endless up-close encounters. Start your expedition by panning for gems and stones, then embark on a paddle-boat ride with spider monkeys in tow. Hold a colorful bird at the aviary or feel the nuzzle of a giraffe's mouth as you feed it! Your kids will love to slip down two fantastic water slides or even play a game of mini golf in the amusement park. Events such as Toddler Tuesdays provide age-appropriate storytime, crafts, and animal encounters.
Dive into the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, featuring a 3,000 gallon water aquarium and over 50 educational exhibits sure to delight. Check out a petrified mummy in the Tomb Talk Afterlife Exhibit, or set off on a journey of the mind with "Mr. Why's Science Adventure". A visit to the aquarium will reveal giant eels, ferocious barracudas, and corrals of seahorses. Whether they want to check out a live feeding or even pet an alligator, your children will not run out of memorable activities during their stay. With a planetarium for virtual space exploration, this area is a must-see.
Get in tune with nature at the Grassy Waters Preserve. This unique area features half a dozen trails that span 23 square miles of natural beauty. Grab a hiking stick and trek the trails that extend through a marsh and cypress swamp. Keep your eyes peeled for a variety of wildlife sightings, including animals like apple snails, alligators, and even bobcats and otters. Public programs include moonlight canoe trips, kayak adventures through the everglades, and walks through the swamps.
