The search for AC
Talking Lighthouse at Schoolhouse Museum in Boynton Beach
I have been busy updating the calendar this week! Click Here for the full list of upcoming events!
If you are running out of air-conditioned options, check out my Summer Picks list below, there are so many options that are free or minimal in cost.
Another life saving option are local Museums. Museums are a fabulous options this time of the year. (THEY HAVE AC!) In the menu options under Events & Reviews, click on the Museums options for great write ups on some of my favorite places to weather the summer heat and storms. Most of them are right here in South Florida, but a few are scattered around the country too! For example, the Schoolhouse Museum in Boyton Beach. This was a summer time must for my daughter right up through 1st grade. To learn more about this little gem of a museum see my write up on The Schoolhouse Museum in Boynton Beach.
My Summer Picks:
We pick this Summer Saving Pass up every year. It is a great deal, you get unlimited admission to four different attractions. The Museum
of Discovery and Science, Lion Country Safari, Miami Seaquarium, and Miami Metro Zoo. I particularly like that the Museum of Discovery is air conditioned! Bonus!
One last piece of business, we are so thrilled to welcome our newest sponsor to the Keeping Up With Kids family, Turtle Town Day Care is a licensed in home toddler day care in Boca Raton. If you need a daycare for you toddler, there is truly no better, more loving, fun, and safe place around! Click Here to learn more about Melissa and Turtle Town Day Care.
Library Programs for Broward and Palm Beach Counties
Your local library is the best place to get out of the summer heat for an special activity. We are so blessed here in South Florida with some really amazing libraries that offer kids shows, demonstrations, play areas, and incredible learning opportunities! Click Here for links to many of my favorite libraries from Broward and Palm Beach!
If you are trying to keep your kid reading this summer, then this is the one book for you. You can borrow books from the library for free without ever leaving your house and the kids can simply touch a word they don’t understand and get the definition without disrupting their story time! Click Here to learn why you should get a Kindle (the black and white one like the PaperWhite, not the Kindle Fire)
