In a state as lush and vibrant as Florida, you have ample opportunities to explore the outdoors. One that you shouldn't pass up is the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. Located along North Ocean Boulevard in Boca Raton, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center is donations-based ($5 suggested), so it's a good spot to take the whole family without having to splurge.
Head here with your kids to see the ogle the marine aquariums, situated underneath pretty wooden pavilions that still allow for plenty of fresh air flow. Each of the four aquariums showcases greenery and critters from a different habitat in South Florida, such as mangrove forests. You can also take a peek at the sea turtles being rehabbed by the staff at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. While you're at it, learn more about the rehabilitation process. Then take to the Boardwalk Trail for an aerial view of Florida's flora.
