SARASOTA offers many attractions from beaches, where you can catch a beautiful sunset or colorful drum circle, art museums and shopping to natural science aquariums and other local must-sees. All golfers will definitely want to check out PopStroke, Sarasota's mini golf oasis developed by Tiger Woods! If you like wild animals and the great outdoors, be sure to check out Big Cat Habitat, where you'll see white tigers, lions, tigers, primates and birds, or Jungle Gardens for wildlife, jungle bird and reptile shows! And finally, if you enjoy touring, the Ringling Circus Museum with a tour of the Ringling Estate aka Ca'd'Zan and the Marie Shelby Botanical Gardens are beautiful and unique.

VENICE, just south of Sarasota, also has much to offer with numerous beaches, shopping and outdoor adventures, such as hiking/biking the Venetian Waterway Park Trail or touring the historical Venice Train Depot. Known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, you'll want to be sure to hunt for some fossilized prehistoric shark teeth or sunbathe on the soft white sand beaches. I highly recommend sunset beach yoga for the ultimate relaxation experience. If you love baseball, you can visit CoolToday Park to see the Atlanta Braves play and for the more adventurous, try out a trapeze lesson at Tito Gaona's Trapeze Academy, go parasailing or kyaking at Myakka River Park.
