Take a Spin on the Carousel at Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton

September 10, 2015 2:33 pm

Sugar Sand Park isn't your average outdoor space. Yes, there's a playground. And true, it's home to many winding nature trails—the Sand Pine path snakes through endangered Florida scrub and the Slash Pine through pine flatwoods. But this 132-acre park in Boca Raton also plays host to some features you wouldn't expect.

The Children's Science Explorium, for example, resides within the park. Here kids can dive into the sciences via hands-on exhibits. They can learn even more while they play at the Science Playground back outside, which also features interactive opportunities for learning about science—albeit in a less structured environment. Let kids run around the wooden boardwalks and splash around in a watery play area. Most visitors also love to visit the park's carousel, which dates back to the 19th century, and seeing a show at the Willow Theatre.

Sip and Swish New Varietals at The Wine Cellar at Boynton Beach

September 3, 2015 2:34 pm

The Wine Cellar promises its customers "handmade wines at outstanding value," and Boynton Beach regulars enthusiastically agree that this is just what you get at this popular wine shop, which stocks a solid selection of wines from the most well-known producers from around the globe.

But where The Wine Cellar really shines is in its selection of wines from small, family-run wineries that you may never have heard of before entering the store. The store's owners actively seek out niche wines that are made by premium, boutique-style producers in small, artisanal batches. One of the pleasures of buying wine in a shop like this is the opportunity to chat with the knowledgeable and friendly owners as you're in the process of discovering new favorites.

Complimentary tastings every Thursday evening are a good way to try out a few wines before purchasing!
