West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach, located inland from Palm Beach on Lake Worth, has a number of interesting museums as well as many trendy and fine dining restaurants. As the name implies, the city is often defined by its incredible miles of soft, sandy beaches, and many tourists come primarily to soak up the sun and enjoy the water.

West Palm Beach also has many other attractions, many of which are family-friendly animal encounters. The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is well-known for its numerous exhibits and underwater residents, and the Manatee Lagoon allows visitors to get up close and personal with these gentle giants for free.

The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society is home to 700 animals from all over the world, and Lion Country Safari allows visitors to ride through the park to see some amazing African animals, as well as interact at the petting zoo and giraffe feeding station, and cool off in the water playground.
