Must experience
World class Botanical Garden, Museum
This is a lovely museum and property on the water. It is worth the extra price to see the mansion in which John and Mabel RIngling lived.The tiny circus re-creation is absolutely amazing.

Lots of little shops and restaurants. Favorite food places: The Green Zebra for organic, healthy fare. Venezia's for affordable Italian. Kilwin's for awesome ice cream- I like the Toasted Coconut as a hot fudge sundae. Soooo good.

Yummy, healthy breakfast and lunch. In a small strip mall, but the food is great. Mostly locals. Good for vegans and vegetarians, too.
