Known
internationally as the Cultural Capital
of Florida, Sarasota offers a wide range of entertainment venues that
are available year round. The Ringling
Museum of Art and its recently renovated Ca d'Zan provide an excellent
opportunity to learn about the Ringling Circus and to imagine the
opulent lifestyle John and Mable Ringling maintained during the 1920's.
Visitors can
enjoy opera, ballet, popular shows and drama at many theatres downtown.
Classical music lovers will appreciate the Florida
West Coast Symphony. Always enjoyable, for visitors and locals
alike, are the free jazz concerts performed at various parks throughout
the year. Pack a lunch, bring a chair, and you're set.
The Mote
Marine Laboratory is always exciting and interesting to learn
about ongoing marine research, to observe the dolphin hospital and
see how well these beautiful mammals are cared for before being allowed
back into the sea. Jungle
Gardens is Sarasota's zoo. Its stunning collection of exotic birds,
flowers and animals will thrill visitors. And, if you're looking for
an opportunity to observe world-renowned orchids, unusual plants and
magnificent 100-year-old banyan trees overlooking beautiful Sarasota
Bay, then a visit to Selby
Gardens is definitely a must. |
