The Week Ahead for South Florida: Hiking, Parks and Museums

The Week Ahead is all about Earth Day!

My Picks of the Week


Bank of America has a great program called Museums on Us. Bank of America offers it’s customers free admission to local museums all over the country.  It is usually the first full weekend of the month and you just have to present your bank card at the door.

We have been to the Museum of Discovery and Science and the South Florida Science Museum with the program.  Basically it means the adults are free (as long as you have a bank card for each person) and you just have to pay for the kids if they are over 2.

Take a Hike


Broward County Parks are pulling out all the stops for walks, hikes and bird walks!  Take advantage before it gets too hot!  You can choose from a variety of nature-related hikes and walks. Most programs are $3 to $5 per person; some are free. Call the park of your choice for additional information, including preregistration requirements.

Want to learn Piano?

There is an App for that!

I am a geek, I know! I have been obsessed with all things educational & technological! So what about Piano Lessons?  Yup, There’s an app for that too! Piano Marvel is a completely online piano course that uses a midi interface with your piano to give you instant feedback on what you know!  I have been using it to brush up on my extremely old skills and to supplement my child’s lessons!   I am LOVING IT!  I also negotiated a Coupon Code for you try it for free!  If you buy a subscription you will get a discount too!  You won’t believe what you get for about a quarter of the price of piano lessons!

The calendar is filling up quickly!  Please make sure that we don’t miss your next event and submit your event today!
