FIELD TRIP - 27 - Ringling Museum

So you have a love of art? You like beautiful gardens and grounds to explore? Definitely check out the Ringling Museum if you're in SW Florida!

On Mondays, you can take in the Art Museum for FREE! Other days, you can walk the grounds and gardens for FREE! And, you can always tour the Ca' d'Zan home and the Circus Museums if you buy tickets.

The only other thing we've seen in Florida that compares is Vizcaya in the Miami area. This is great, but for different reasons. Here, you can get that art museum!

FIELD TRIP - 14 - Coral Castle

28655 South Dixie Highway, Miami, FL 33033

Picture
There are not a lot of castles in America, let alone Florida, so this one is a must see!
It's not a huge place, but it's a great stop off for 60-90-120 minutes. The tour guides know about all the history of the place and can tell you about the meaning behind every one of the special stones.
This is a fun place if you like:
  • Castles
  • History
  • Gardens
  • Quirky little sites to visit

At $18 an adult and $8 a child (7-12), it's not the cheapest place, but it's still fairly affordable. Check for coupons!

FIELD TRIP - 13 - Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium

6/2/2019

3450 Ortiz Ave, Fort Myers, FL 33905

Picture
This place has a lot of stuff going on! It's a nature center, with hiking trails, wild animals, butterfly gardens, and it has a planetarium! It's actually the only planetarium in SWFL, so it's pretty neat! That's actually my favorite part, too!

Things you can do:
  • Watch 3 shows in the Planetarium
  • Hike the trails
  • Check out live animals
  • Learn about Florida native species of plants and animals
  • Get some fresh air
  • Visit the butterfly gardens
  • Go to Laser Shows and Special Movie showings (check their calendar)

While other places nearby might do the animals better or the hiking trails better, this place's Planetarium and inexpensive cost make it worth a visit.

Looking for a bit of history and adventure in SWFL? Check out the Koreshan State Historic Site. It's not too far from US-41 and I-75, off of Alico Rd. 

Visit the location of the historic Koreshan Unity community. With several preserved buildings and beautiful grounds, you can get a clear look into the culture of the group, dating back over 100 years! The volunteers and staff are knowledgeable, too. There are all sorts of tales and interesting anecdotes to hear about this Hollow Earth society! 

At his location, you can also:
  • hike trails
  • kayak or canoe
  • hit the campgrounds
  • picnic by the playgrounds

This trip is definitely worth taking!

78 E Granada Blvd, Ormond Beach, FL 32176

Picture
Tired of all that sun and beach and just need a few minutes to decompress? When you're in the Daytona and Ormond Beach area, this is a great little stop-off to just catch your breath for a few minutes. Whether you spend 15 or 50 minutes here, there's something to see for you and for your kids.

It's free parking, free entry, and fresh air! Check it out for sure. A suggested $2 donation for the museum part won't break the bank, either!
