Visitors and residents alike can work, collaborate, network and learn at two local facilities.

Today’s work environment looks a lot different than it did before 2020. We’re taking care of business from wherever we are, not just in our corporate headquarters office or cubicle. While some of us still enjoy conducting meetings and crunching numbers at home in our pajamas, others are ready to get out of the house again. Luckily, two local facilities offer co-working space and many other opportunities under their roofs.

Guide to the Top Wildlife Encounters and Wild Animal Experiences in Sarasota County

Long to get up close and personal with some beautiful, wild creatures? Sarasota County's year-round subtropical climate means we've got a longer list than most destinations for sanctuaries, nature preserves and conservation foundations—land and sea. Whether you're here for just a visit or live here, the wildest of places are all within a 30-minute drive of Downtown Sarasota, so you can sneak in an exciting afternoon with some exotic animals.

Grab a meal to-go and share it alfresco at one of these picturesque picnic spots.

Sure, going out to lunch or dinner at atmospheric restaurants is great, and many here even have beautiful outdoor dining setups.
