Eleven cities. So many ways to be curious.
Museums, gardens, science, culture and small adventures from the Treasure Coast to Miami, with an Orlando getaway too.
FROM “WE SHOULD” TO “LET’S DO IT”
Your plan, step by step.
- 01
Choose one city
Avoid spending your whole day driving between distant destinations.
- 02
Choose one anchor
Pick a museum, garden or dated event that fits your people.
- 03
Check practical details
Verify opening days, admissions, parking, accessibility and special bookings.
- 04
Add your own game
Choose three favorites, sketch a detail or teach each other something you learned.
01 / Museums
West Palm Beach
Cox Science Center and Aquarium
Make a little day of it
Choose art and conversation or hands-on science, then add a short waterfront stop. With kids, choose one venue rather than rushing between both. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
02 / Museums
Palm Beach
Flagler Museum
Whitehall seasonal programs
Make a little day of it
Make a history visit into a design hunt: choose a room detail, a story and a question. Book special tours separately when required. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
03 / Museums
Stuart
Elliott Museum
Stuart Heritage Museum
Make a little day of it
Choose inventions and local history, then share the most surprising thing you learned. The Elliott is on Hutchinson Island; allow driving time between it and downtown. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
04 / Museums
Port St. Lucie
Oxbow Eco-Center
The Port District seasonal events
Make a little day of it
Turn a nature outing into a listening game. Oxbow is a nature preserve and learning center, not a traditional art museum; check indoor hours separately from trails. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
05 / Museums
Vero Beach
Vero Beach Museum of Art
McKee Botanical Garden
Make a little day of it
Choose art or a garden as your anchor and give yourself time to linger. The museum has announced a facility transition for 2027; recheck plans for visits beyond this season. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
06 / Museums
Orlando
Orlando Science Center
Lake Eola city events
Make a little day of it
Have a hands-on learning day or plan a downtown seasonal outing. Orlando works best as its own trip from South Florida; do not treat it as a quick extra stop. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
07 / Museums
Miami
Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science
Miami Book Fair
Make a little day of it
Pick a museum day or a dated book-fair visit. Both offer conversation starters for curious adults and families. Leave a substantial traffic and parking buffer. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
08 / Museums
Fort Lauderdale
Museum of Discovery and Science
Riverwalk seasonal events
Make a little day of it
Choose a few hands-on exhibits and a short riverfront outing. Check museum ticket inclusions; special experiences can need separate reservations. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
09 / Museums
Boca Raton
Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum
Boca Raton Museum of Art
Make a little day of it
Compare an artwork with a piece of local history. Choose one museum for a relaxed visit, then explore nearby public spaces when the weather is comfortable. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
010 / Museums
Delray Beach
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
Cornell Art Museum
Make a little day of it
Morikami offers gardens and Japanese cultural learning; Cornell is a downtown contemporary-art option. They are separate outings with a drive between them. Morikami closes Mondays and major holidays. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
011 / Museums
Coral Springs
Coral Springs Museum of Art
City holiday events
Make a little day of it
Enjoy the free-entry gallery, then choose a city light stroll in December. Confirm the current gallery address before leaving; the museum has moved and its Creative Studios have separate location information. Open the city guide → · See dated events →
