1. Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge
The most robust part of the northern Everglades, this 221-square-mile refuge is one of two huge water-retention areas accounting for much of the "River of Grass" outside the national park near Miami. Start at the visitor center, which has fantastic interactive exhibits and videos like Night Sounds of the Everglades and an airboat simulator. From there, you can take a marsh trail to a 20-foot-high observation tower, or stroll a half-mile boardwalk lined with educational signage through a dense cypress swamp. There are also guided nature walks (including some specifically for bird-watching), and there's great bass fishing (bring your own poles and bait) and a 5½-mile canoe and kayak trail loop (both can be rented from a kiosk by the fishing pier).

2. Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park
BeachThis 12-acre beach park is popular with local families who enjoy the lovely Brazilian-walnut hardwood boardwalk, plethora of parking spots, and sail-shade canopy-covered walkways and benches. Kids will get a kick out of the playground and adorable large sea turtle sculpture (grown-ups will appreciate that it was made of repossessed metal from an oil rig by a local artist). Free beach wheelchairs are available, as are umbrellas and lounge chair rentals for a small fee, and a concession dishes up sandwiches, salads, and snacks like ice cream. Divers love the four sunken ships off the coast as part of Florida's artificial reefs program. Amenities: lifeguards; food and drink; parking (fee); showers; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; sunrise; sunset; swimming.

3. Schoolhouse Children's Museum & Learning Center
Boynton Beach's history is highlighted through interactive exhibits that make the museum a kid- and parent-pleaser. The museum is housed in a school that was built in 1913, and is one of only a few original schoolhouses that are still educating children on a daily basis. Kids have the opportunity to touch, play, and interact with history through hands-on exhibits where they experience what life was like for early Florida pioneers long before the days of computers, cell phones, TVs, and even cars. A great castle playground is next door. Check the website for a calendar of science projects, arts and crafts, specialty workshops, and community events for families.
