With its reputation for golf courses and parks, Boca Raton is pretty well known in the retirement community, but it’s actually a great place for families as well. Known locally as a ‘City for All Seasons’, Boca Raton has mild weather year round, and beautiful sunshine to go along with it. Kids and adults can learn about nature and Florida habitats at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, where they will take part in interactive exhibits that teach them about Florida’s sea turtles, walk on gorgeous nature trails, and visit butterfly gardens. Nearby Sugar Sand Park has a massive playground, a carousel, and even indoor activities like a Children’s Science Explorium, an indoor gym, and a community theater.
