TIPS FOR VISITING NAPLES FLORIDA

  • If you are looking for a rainy day activity, there is a great children’s museum in Naples called the Golisano. This museum has a lot of fun activities and play areas along with different exhibits to explore.
  • In the same area as the Golisano Museum there is a water park called the Sun-N-Sun Lagoon. The water park has some great waterslides as well as a lazy river, splash pools, activity pool and even just a regular lap pool with a diving board.
  • If you like to watch baseball, both the Boston Red Socks and the Minnesota Twins have spring training facilities in the Fort Myers area. If you are there in February or March you can go to these games!
  • Cirella’s is a great family-friendly Italian restauarant.
  • If you are traveling in the winter time it is definitely recommended to make dinner reservations.
  • Iguana Mia is also a great restaurant to visit while in the Naples area. They serves some great Mexican food along with their amazing Margaritas. You can’t miss the large lit up Cactus when driving by on route 41.
  • If you are looking for someplace sweet, be sure to try the Royal Scoop. They create some really interesting flavors of ice cream and offer some crazy sundae combinations.

FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR

Harmony loves to wear Lulu Lemon pants that have lots of pockets along with a sweatshirt.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Most people don’t’ think about this, but you are not supposed to wrap gifts when you are traveling on a plane. TSA may need to inspect them so they may not stay wrapped. Some airports offer a gift wrapping service past the security area.
