The Boca Raton Children's Museum is located in one of the oldest homes in Boca Raton, (1913)…read moreSinging Pines. The home was originally owned by Boca Raton pioneers Mamie Myrick and her daughter, Aldah Myrick who had one of the first automobiles in Boca Raton. In 1917 the house was sold to its next owners Nellie and George Race. Their daughter Race Williams named the house Singing Pines because of the sound the wind made when going through the pine trees on the property. Race entered a nursing home and passed away in 1979. The house was moved to Memorial Park in 1976 and the name Singing Pines was changed to Children's Museum when it opened with it's first exhibit Pioneer Kitchen. The museum is very small but wonderful for toddlers and the preschool set. Admission is $5. The different play stations are Ricketts Corner Store which gives children the opportunity to play store in a recreation of Boca Raton's first grocery. KidsCents Bank Sponsored by First Southern Bank has bank teller windows and a vault so kids can practice their money skills. Oscar's Post Office gives children the opportunity to make postcards for a friend. Dr. Dig's Back-Porch has fossils and a puzzle. The Children of the Wilderness demonstrates the pioneer history of Singing Pines.There is also a pirate ship and fort outdoor exhibit and water tables for water play which are sponsored by FPL. This little museum is filled with old fashioned charm. What a wonderful place to get kids to put down the tablets and just play and interact. I love how this historic home has been transformed into a place of play and learning for children. I think that the civic leaders and pioneer women who occupied the home would be happy that it is continuing in this way. I had a lot of great times in this museum with my daughter who is grown now. I especially loved coming for the Halloween party. I was glad to see that they are not only going strong but expanding and increasing their programs for the public.

This place is so great! Completely free. We did donate some money because we had a great time…read more Mostly shaded which was great for my mom who can't stay out in the sun for long. The nature walks are short too. And it's very accessible. Even a ramp all the way up to the look out point so people in wheel chairs can view too. It's shaded from all the mangroves and palms. And the tree that it's named after gumbo limbo! Which is a red tree that peels We attended the free 10:00 am tour which lasted an hour. It was mostly the tour guide talking who is a volunteer and very nice. Very enthusiastic. It was a little drawn out and we stoped every 10 steps but worth it. I took the stopping moments to take everything in and even spotted huge spiders. I forgot what they are called but there are the biggest ones I have seen and they are all over. He said they can bite but it's like a bee sting and not poisonous. And they stay off the path anyway. There are huge tanks of really big fish. The barracuda is huge and has the cleanest teeth. These fish are fed well. The place is kept very clean, there are a lot of staff to answer your questions. And there is someone even cleaning the outside of the tanks. They also have a sea horse tank. The butterfly garden is small, saw some zebra butterflies and I think a cardinal bird. You can walk towards the inlet and there is a small peaceful beach and picnic area that is covered. Parking lot is small but plenty of parking on a Tuesday morning at 9:30, but the time we left at 11:30 it was filled and there was a school bus. Figure 1.5 to 2 hours here. They also have a fish feeding at 12:30 but we were done before then. Would come back again!

This small but mighty facility rescues and researches turtles and other marine life but turtles mainly. Staff/volunteers are very friendly, informative, and eager to help. They have fish feeding and turtle talks not sure if daily or just weekends but check their website for schedule. Also check the weather because if there is lightning, they will close. This spot is free but you can make a donation in the main building to help support the education and research provided here. There is free parking but it gets full quick. However the place is not that large and it may take only a couple loops to line up with someone leaving. If not there is paid beach parking across the street along the road there. There isn't a food or beverage but maybe bring a water bottle if you plan on doing the overlook (especially as it gets hotter). They have a butterfly garden but we only saw one butterfly at the time. They have two tall tanks where they do the feedings that have fish, rays, and a couple turtles. They also have two smaller tanks, one with really large fish and another with smaller. There are some outdoor tortoises as well as a college Marine research area where you can watch them being studied and ask questions of the students there. The overlook is beautiful and provides a nice view of the intracoastal and a slight view of the ocean. There are a few interactive educational boards along the walk up the ramp. If you want a more direct route up or down, they also have stairs. The path also extends into the mangroves and along the way back to the main building.

She was a little cautious at first, but quickly said "more" each time paint was being squeezed around. Fun activity to engage toddlers, play indoors, and let them be an artist without limits. A couple of notes that could have made this a 5 star experience for us (but maybe not for every Little Monster): We felt the white paper should have been changed out before each class, or at least daily, giving the kiddos a fresh canvas to witness their "art" coming alive and be part of creating that together. It also would have been great to include a very short intro for littles that had been there for the first time, modeling the painting, and getting them used to the sensory or maybe even color mixing... not taking away from the freedom and independence of the "class", but rather adding 5-10 minutes to dip their toes in the water. The experience was so fun and an adorable photo op, but would have wanted a bit more.

Currie Commons Park is in the Osceola neighborhood on the south side Delray Beach in close…read moreproximity to downtown. The neighborhood has gotten a lot of improvements recently including upgraded streets, sidewalks, and alleys along with improvements to this park. Currie Commons Park was named in honor of George Graham Currie. There is a another park named for him in West Palm Beach. Currie was a native of Quebec. When he arrived in Florida he was penniless but he became a lawyer, made money, and then lost it all in real estate. He served as mayor of West Palm Beach from 1901 to 1902. He wrote 18 books of poems, essays, and music lyrics before passing away in 1926 shortly after this park was dedicated. One of the best features of Currie Commons Park is the recently replaced playground. The thirty three year old wood structure playground was compromised by years of use and weathering. It also had termite damage. Restoring it was not an option so it was disassembled. Funded by the Community Redevelopment Agency, a new multilevel playground was built and it is the first of its kind in South Florida. The four story playground has a giant twisting rainbow slide along with secret hidden instruments and butterfly surprises. During my visit you could tell how much the children were enjoying it. Other park amenities include a lighted little league field, multi-purpose field, press box, concessions, and restrooms. Whether you are coming for sports or play, the Currie Commons Park is a great recreational resource for those living in and visiting the Osceola neighborhood of Delray Beach.

Pocket parks arose from the desire in the community to have places for kids to play instead of another building on the vacant land. Although small, the city packed a lot into this pocket park. It has a 3 story play structure with slide, swings, play house for toddlers, benches, picnic tables, and a paved walking path. Yale Newman Park was dedicated in 2002 in honor of Yale Newman who was born on August 17, 1914. Mr. Newman and his wife had visited Boca Raton during their honeymoon in 1938. They moved to the city upon Mr. Newman's retirement in 1972 from his position as the Superintendent of recreation in Long Island, New York. Mr. Newman served on the Park and Recreation board for 24 years during which he saw the number of parks grow from 11 to over 41. if you visit a park in Boca Raton, you can thank Yale Newman for it.
