This is one of my favorite spots to take out-of-towners. It is quite a drive, but it is worth it! Get there early, bring lunch,, water, bug spray, and your sense of wonder! This is an unbeatable experience for animal appreciators. They have multiple hands-on animal presentations throughout the day, with many opportunities to learn about, and interact with the animals that have come to call this nature preservation home. Being in the wolf enclosure will have you reaching for your camera non-stop, while the beautiful creatures playfully interact act with your group!

Arts & Culture
Tons of galleries in this area. There is an Art Walk here every LAST Saturday of the month. Parking is usually an issue, so we use a ride-sharing service whenever we head over. So many street vendors turn up for this event, it's incredible! You can do some art browsing, shopping, and eating, without breaking the bank. The Art Walk is an amazing event that allows for one to get a taste of the South Florida art scene without heading down to Miami.
