Life’s too short for ordinary days... Live More Floridays! All week, “Live in the D” is giving viewers a chance to win a vacation package, provided byVISIT FLORIDA, that includes amazing fun in the sun adventures!
Reporter, April Morton recently traveled to Martin County, Florida, where you’re right in the middle of all the action. This week, April is taking us on a journey to discover all of what the area has to offer. Thursday, she showed us how you can experience stingrays, cannons, and endless adventures for the family.
She stopped by two places, that are not only fun, but educational. Her 1st stop was Florida’s Oceanographic Center. “We are a now 60-acre campus, we have a nature trail that goes directly back to the IRL or the Indian River Lagoon, said Roni Allen, Director of Development at Florida Oceanographic Center.” She spoke about the Ocean Eco Center that gives guests a hands-on educational experience, and teaches them all about estuaries, animals, different aquariums, sea turtle nesting, worm reefs, and everything that you can find on the Treasure Coast. The center, is located in the city of Stuart, and has a one-of-a-kind feature that sits right in the middle of the park, a cool lagoon which pumps 750,000 gallons of water straight from the Atlantic Ocean.
Guests will see several creatures in the lagoon, like nurse sharks, and if they want to have a hands-on experience, they can actually touch stingrays, at the touching pond.
From learning about sea life, to imagining being on the sea, at the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast," located in Jensen Beach, kids can go where ever their imagination takes them. “The name museum doesn’t really fit because you can touch everything here, most museums, you can’t do that, this place is all about fun and play, and education is at the stem of everything, said Tammy Calabria, the museums CEO. She said, the museum has a unique, one-of-a-kind attraction. “We have a 65-foot true-size replica of a 17th century merchant ship which all the kids call a pirate ship, no matter what age they walk in and they say pirate ship.” It is sure to catch the eye.
