Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Downtown Sarasota campus

Zoo in Largo

Museum in Bradenton

Great place to have fun relax and enjoy the sun! Very kid and adult friendly and has many different water sport/fun options! No wait on basically anything! But I do recommend buying tickets in advance if you are not staying at the hotel connected to it! I hope this helps….ps great food at the attached restaurant also!!

Aquarium in Largo

Today I confirmed that time travel is possible! We entered to the Heritage village and were witness of it. Beautiful houses and buildings resembling a old American community. Lovely details, well appointed. Free entrance and parking, easy access.

A lot of the amazing things you find here are not limited just to the exhibits. Opportunities for children, art students, people of all ages, the community, artists and more. The building houses many studios equipped for a great array of art mediums. I am extremely impressed. On top of that, very compelling exhibits from some incredibly talented artists and students. I love the sunflower exhibit, all the flower art was donated by the many artists connected to the art center. Then they were sold to collect donations for the Ukraine…brilliant! A wonderful surprise and well worth the drive.
