Here are 7 Fun Summer Activities for Seniors in Royal Palm Beach:
Royal Palm Beach Pines Natural Area
Explore the diversity of Florida’s ecosystems at the Royal Palm Beach Pines by walking the trails, visiting observation platforms, or strolling the boardwalk. This is also a great place to see an abundance of creatures in their natural habitat–from bald eagles to box turtles to great horned owls.
Juno Beach Pier, Ocean Inlet Park, and Lake Worth Beach Park
For seniors who enjoy breathtaking views on sunny afternoons, any one of these three locations is perfect for gazing at the sparkling ocean, watching boats leave and enter docks, or trying their hand at fishing in the Ocean Inlet Park lagoon.
Palm Beach Zoo
Spend the day admiring the gorgeous flora and fauna on display at the Palm Beach Zoo gardens and nature preserves. Marvel at the variety of wildlife here–jaguars, lemurs, playful otters, and colorful macaws–and indulge your creative side by participating in the zoo’s rock art activity. Seniors are also eligible for discounts on tickets.
Okeeheelee Park
Seniors can take their furry pals to play and exercise in the dog park, walk beautiful nature trails, go for a boat ride, or browse the fascinating nature center at Okeeheelee Park. All natural trails are wheelchair accessible.
