The Ann Goldstein Children's Rainforest Garden

Children love to be outdoors, whether they will admit it or not. Once surrounded by the magic of nature and they start breathing in the freshness of the Sarasota breeze, they will go a little nuts, in a good way.

The Ann Goldstein Children's Rainforest Garden offers so much for the kids to do, from their swinging bridges to their epiphyte canyon, from the many caves where they can explore and discover to the majestic waterfall. And when their legs are tired and need a break, take them down to the Amazon village to watch an exciting performance at the amphitheater.
