FLORIDA · GO MAKE A MEMORY
Choose a downtown art-and-beach day or a slower garden outing west of downtown.
AN ANYTIME IDEA · SELF-GUIDED
Choose the stops that fit your day. These are our suggested activities, not a scheduled tour or a reservation.
Start with the cultural campus and check the Cornell Art Museum’s current visitor information or an event from our calendar.
Walk a short stretch, choose a food stop and play a tiny photo challenge: find a bold color, a pattern and an unexpected detail.
Choose the beach for a coastal finish. Morikami is a separate drive west and works better as its own garden-and-museum outing.
