Hidden Gems Places To Visit in Boca Raton, Florida, United States
- 5.0 Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park (44 reviews)
-Get outside
Spent 2-3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks • Playgrounds
This is a large and very varied park. All of which is immaculate. We came for a nice open-air walk, no golfing this trip. Although most people were not wearing makes, it was a nice breezy day and you could always move away from people. It is such a calm and happy place. From the father/son flying a kite, people playing in the dog run with their dogs, picnics under the pavillions to people using watercraft. Everyone is enjoying themselves. So many things to do here. We even saw a bunch of adults playing Dodge ball. Plenty of open space. Worth the drive. See more..

- 4.5 Patch Reef Park (25 reviews)
-Great for kids of all ages
Spent 1-2 hours Parks
We took our 1 year old and 2.5 year old and both found areas that were perfect for them to explore. (The same was true for much older kids too!) Had the weather been better, we would have brought swimwear so they could enjoy the splash park part. They also LOVED the carousel - it was just impossible to avoid tears when it was time to leave. Public restrooms right by the playground area were great See more..
