Family Adventures

Whether new movie releases, childhood favorites or cult classics, there are a number of outdoor movie venues to enjoy the summer nights of Sarasota

While visiting Sarasota County, be sure to enjoy these activities – whether rain or shine!

The old adage is "April showers bring May flowers," but in Sarasota, an area celebrated for its year-round sunshine and inviting beaches, rainy days can feel like a drag. However, even the grayest clouds have a silver lining. When spring showers and summer thunderstorms put a damper on your beach days, don't let the stir-crazy blues get the best of you and your family.

Keep the little ones – or the big ones – engaged and entertained with a Sarasota Scavenger Hunt. How many can they find? #MySarasota.
