Since everyone is watching their pennies, entertaining an active 3 year old can be a challenge. Fortunately, our daughter LOVES anything related to animals. Saturday morning we headed up to Jupiter to the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. Admission is free but donations boxes are placed throughout the sanctuary. Also, all purchases made in the gift shop are donated to the animal care. They had tons of cool animals! Then we headed to the beach for a bite and then stopped at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach. This has been one of Sera's favorite places for a while now. She adores turtles and this time they even had new baby turtles! This facility is great for kids....and they only ask for a $5 donation. Soooo.....we enjoyed a beautiful Saturday for just a little money!
While on the subject of free, if you're in Boynton Beach you should visit Green Cay Wetlands. They have a great wetlands boardwalk. Green Cay emulates the Everglades ecosystem with a wide expanse of marsh habitat and intermittent tree islands and cypress hammocks. They also have a nature center. Exhibits include a turtle pond, frog habitat, an alligator hole, a wetland diorama, and educational murals.
