Family Vacationing in Sarasota

Give your family a vacation on the #1 beach in the U.S.A.

Many destinations cater only to one travel style, but you’ll find activities for the whole family in Sarasota and Her Islands. It starts with the beaches, of course, where families can dig in the white sand or splash in the clear surf of the Gulf of Mexico. The aqua waves also deliver plenty of water sports for adventurous folks. Outdoor activities don’t end with the shore, however, thanks to the area’s extensive parks and preserves that offer close encounters with Sarasota’s diverse natural beauty.

For educational fun, head to the many museums and wildlife centers that cater to kids of all ages, from hands-on science at G. Wiz to wild adventures at the Big Cat Habitat. Sarasota’s incredible arts community offers arts programming of all kinds that’s entertaining for young and old alike, while historical centers mix education and excitement into one seamless package.

Here, you’ll find more than just kid-friendly activities; you’ll find adventures the whole family will enjoy.
