    We visit here every time we visit West Palm. Never guaranteed to see a manatee but it is a great place to visit. On this last visit we saw a stingray. Would definitely recommend.

    We spent a few nights in West Palm to walk by the water, take a sunset cruise and eat at restaurants. Was during the week so not too many people and was easy to park.

    Art After Dark is fantastic. Took a terrific docent tour and enjoyed painting a watercolor in the Open Studio with all the materials provided. Just wish I could have tried the Augmented Reality experience and learned more about some of the art pieces that way but ran out of time!

    Our family had so much fun. Lots of animals to see. The zoo keepers and staff were very friendly and informative. We fed the parrots which was amazing and such an experience! Would definitely go back.

    Visit the beautiful botanical gardens in West Palm Beach, Florida. The meticulously cared for gardens are home to more than 7 thousand tropical and subtropical species on 20-acres. Serene pathways wind through 20 different gardens of lush, flowering beauty with waterfalls, reflection ponds, sculptures, foot bridges and shady sitting areas. A magical wonderland of natural beauty!

    I’m local and have been on 3 tours. The enthusiasm, knowledge, & food make them a “must-do” when visitors and family come.

    I saw Renee Fleming, and she was fabulous! The theater is organized and clean with nice service and plenty of refreshments. My one complaint is that I have experienced this every time I have attended a performance here: many of the older patrons are snobby and will yell “Shhhh!” Loudly during a performance when they think someone is too noisy. Rather than helping the situation, this, ironically, makes it worse

    Because of the design, it is normally never too windy to kayak on week-ends. One hour will get you around the whole lake, with gorgeous golf course greens surrounding the area.
