Top 10 South Florida Family Adventures

4) Everglades Safari Park (mild)

One of the most charming facts about life in the South Florida region is the unbelievable outdoor options available - and all of it only minutes away from our urban comforts. The legendary Everglades, recognized by the United Nations as a world heritage site, is probably the crown jewel of South Florida outdoors. Nothing tames this wild swampland quite like an airboat ride organized by Everglades Safari Park. 

You will get to explore the mind boggling diversity of flora and fauna of the sprawling wetland with a visit to the Seminole tribe on their reservation. The airboat ride cuts through the river of grass and brings you in close contact with the wildlife including turtles, snakes, deer, rare birds, and alligators in their natural habitat. To add to the thrill, the highly trained and experienced navigators would perform sharp turns and accelerate every so often for that heart in the mouth experience.  In addition to the airboat ride, take your family to the alligator show or on an exploratory hike on one of their trails!
 

5) Miami Seaquarium (mild)

A veritable Miami institution, the seaquarium is one of the most loved places to spend a day out. You get to witness jaw dropping performances from highly trained dolphins and sea mammals, and interact with these friendly and fun loving mammals in a safe environment. The Seaquarium encourages patrons to step into the pool, touch, interact, and feed these lovable creatures of the sea. All of this under the watchful gaze of a highly trained instructor who would also inform and educate you about the fragile environment these mammals are faced with. Splurge and take the family on one of their Sea Trek Reef Encounters where you can walk amongst the tropical fish or maybe swim with the dolphins. 
 

6)  Aerial Trapeze Academy (wild)

Located in Palm Beach county, the Aerial Trapeze Academy promises to be a fun destination for everyone, no matter what their age. Visitors can not only enjoy their breathtaking shows, but also learn the tricks of the trade from leading practitioners of the craft. Depending on your fitness and aptitude, you can enroll for several classes including Hoop Lyra, Aerial Hammock, Spanish Web, and Static Single Trapeze, and experience the thrill of gravity defying stunts.
