This summer the folks at Yesteryear Village and the Florida Department of Agriculture invite you and your family to enjoy a special program called City Kids on the Farm.  This program will take place every Thursday and Friday in both June & July.  Groups of at least 10 can be taken on a guided tour by the staff of Yesteryear Village in the morning.  Others may take a self-guided tour of the buildings like the general store, church, school house etc.

Dino Island is returning to Miami Children’s Museum on June 17th and it’s unlike anything you have seen before!  At Dino Island robotic dinosaurs come to life to create a magical adventure for the entire family. Attend a Cretaceous Reunion in T-Rex’s Dinersaurus, play in a giant dinosaur nest with Mamasaurus’s babies, and ask questions from a creature who lived even before the time of the dinosaurs! Through guided tours, theater shows, and self-directed play, children will learn about ancestry, adaptation, extinction, evolution, and other unforgettable science!

The tour can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Manatee Masters can adjust the length of time for private tours to accommodate large group schedules, but cannot provide that option on public tours.

Manatee Lagoon has yoga mats for all classes, students can bring their own if they prefer.FREE, but advance registration is required. Sign-ups open weekly for this class.
