West Palm Beach is a lively South Florida city with only Lake Worth Lagoon separating it from the neighboring Palm Beach. While the grownups enjoy strolling through the downtown CityPlace district and Clematis Street with its attractions, restaurants, bars, shops, and clubs, the kids prefer to head to the drive-through Lion Country Safari, where animals like rhinos and lions roam free. Palm Beach Zoo is another place for animal lovers – this zoo and botanical garden has some rare animals, an interactive fountain, and a rainforest area. Mounts Botanical Garden has plants from all over the world. Okeeheelee Park is a 1,700-acre waterside park with numerous hike and bike paths, an equestrian center, and a BMX track. The Cox Science Center and Aquarium has exciting hands-on exhibits, a planetarium, and fresh and saltwater aquariums. Rapids Water Park has a wave pool, several water slides, and a lazy river.
