Sailfish Splash Waterpark 

Beat the heat with a trip to Sailfish Splash Waterpark. It’s known for competitive swimming and diving, but the real excitement comes in the form of a 1,000-foot Lazy River in addition to a four-story water slide and speed slides. When not swimming, enjoy an alfresco picnic or relax in a private cabana. $14.45/child day pass, $16.45/adult day pass

Kiplinger Nature Preserve

Round up the kids for a day of adventure at Kiplinger Nature Preserve, a 157-acre natural area in Stuart. Hike along footbridges and scenic trails or launch a kayak or canoe. There’s a diverse mix of freshwater and mangrove swamps, wet prairies, and estuaries, so you’ll have many chances to encounter native wildlife, including snowy egrets and alligators.
